Hi,<BR>I'd second Jim for the alternative venue!<BR>It's lovely up there and everybody's always welcome. It's £5 entrance. If there is a large number of OSS people turning up, let me know and Steve (from the lake) can organise breakie at reasonnable price. There is also a timed loop (1km) organised there at 7.30 for those who would like to get there competitive genes tickled - but normal swimming will still be going on in the meantime.<BR> <BR>Katia<br><br><BR><div>
