Our Club Mascot: Kingsley

Kingsley's Kapers: Follow the exploits of Kinglsey here.

November 2023 and it's trip to London for a spot of rest and relaxation!

So ....Kingsley has had his first trip to London - and he had an AMAZING time going on the underground, shopping, watching “Matilda” (outstanding) and riding the London Eye. He was a very tired bear when we got back - but he’s raring to go again now!

Family Fireworks! Kingsley was a brave bear when the fireworks went off; he got a bit scared , had a bit of a cry and had to have a bear hug when they got a bit loud.... but he did like the sparklers and generally had a good time. He does seem to be up to something though. He's behaving a bit suspiciously and is clearly plotting his next trip....so watch this space.

What a five star performance from all the Kingfisher swimmers over the weekend of the Doncaster Mets.

It was a pleasure to be there offering my support

Time for a bit of fresh air - Walkies!

Kingsley is enjoying his evening celebrating with James. He has been making cocktails (non alcoholic of course) and watching Strictly Come Dancing. Life doesn't get much better than that eh Kingsley?  Caroline Ellis

September means back to school with Kingsley enjoying his reading books 

"This a really good book."

Hmmm 🤔 What cunning plot is Kingsley hatching now?🤔

A little bit of culture. 

"Mummy made me read this'

"My favourite book."

"Falling asleep with my book."

"Reading with mummy."

Revising for Lifesaving on Friday

Reading makes you brainy!

After a summer filled with adventures, Kingsley got down to business, providing support for our swimmers at the September Sprints, John Charles Centre on Sunday September 10th 2023.

With Second place being achieved overall, out of the 22 clubs it is fair to say Kingsley was impressed!

Viva Espana! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

Kingsley's first venture abroad. 

Well - it would be rude not to …. although I didn’t like flying AT ALL!

From Kingsley - I was a bit scared, but I was a brave bear

On a ride out to a lighthouse - Cap de Nau - the view was amazing!

Kingsley has been cultured today, with a visit to Haworth, home of the Brontes. He went around the Bronte parsonage.

It has been a day of firsts -

First Train ✅

First Bus ✅

First Costa ✅

He's been a very good boy but has come home tired and a little grumpy - so he's in bed early. 🛏️💤💤

Watch this space for further updates.


Well… , last seen at Clumber Park over two weeks ago, Kingsley has finally reappeared - and has obviously had a very good time and been thoroughly spoilt! He’s not telling us where else he’s been, but is bragging about going to Spain next week watch this space for the next update! He’s definitely got the wanderlust and not much gets in his way!


Well… you were warned.

Update 3

Kingsley is obviously on his travels, footloose and fancy free! 

No "Have you missed me?". No 'I'm sorry"  "I haven't been in touch lately" Just more photos from what looks suspiciously like Clumber Park.

He's clearly having the time of his life on his latest jaunt, and has definitely gone prepared.

We will just have to wait and see where he turns up next -

Watch this space ......

Ok … so … the good news is - we have a name for our Club Mascot… Kingsley The bad news is… he has gone missing HOWEVER… he has sent us a photo! It looks like he’s been bear-napped watch this space for more news!

Well at least he’s not going hungry - he’s got the bear-essentials 

Update 2:
