Mandy Morton

"Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" - Obi-Wan Knobe



Mandy "Obi-Wan Kenobi" Morton is a colourful local identity and somewhat of a medical ingenue. A trivia wizz, there isn't anything or anyone that she doesn't know. Mmmmm Obi-Wan is indeed all knowing and all seeing. Anywho, while her mind is still razor sharp sadly, her body has faced the ravages of time and while she still displays the accumulated skills of a competitive swimmer, the fitness level has dropped a little below par. Therefore Mandy is the intermediate swimmer of the splosh.

However, determined not to rest on her laurels, she displays great fortitude in the face of adversity and is on a constant mission to 'lift her game' in order to wrestle for the title of leader of the splosh. At this point it must be noted however, that Mandy's mind does tend to wander and she loves nothing more than to discuss bird plumage (the splosh is often accompanied by a variety of pelican, ducks, gannets, seagulls). Sadly, I contend that because of her frequent lack of focus, Mandy may never fully realise her ambition:(

However, affectionately known as 'the negotiator' of the splosh because of her ability 'to keep a cool head in the thick of combat', Mandy is deserved of her title. Her enthusiasm knows no bounds and so it will come as no surprise that with all these skills the wise one is in charge of virtually everything the other two forget! This includes; health and safety, logistics, stationery, water and weather temps, transport, change facilities and common sense!
