Middlesex congratulates Karley for her triple success at the European Junior Championships &ndash; she is a shining example for others to follow. http://www.middlesexswimming.com/news/129 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 06:46:44 GMT News http://www.middlesexswimming.com/news/129 As you know Vernon has been seriously ill since last October and before and has only just been discharged from Hospital.
