Dear Oxford swimmers

I am part of symposium on the Culture of Rowing & Swimming in Oxford on Friday 16th July

a. come along!! Looks interesting http://rowingandswimming.eventbrite.com/. We'll be discussing hydrophilia in all it's forms

b. I'm doing a silent(ish) social(ish) swim on the Saturday morning, probably Abingdon area (tbc tomorrow). They'll be a little meditation or something beforehand, and a chance to do a group swim in a very appreciative way.. probably not so new to those of you who do a lot of swimming, but quite new to others who might want to join us for a different swim. If you're coming to the symposium, you might want to come to the swim just as a swimmer. but I also need OSS volunteers to help me host the event, put on a bit of breakfast, that kind of thing. It's social in that it's not a paid for event, but atypical in that it's for people going to the symposium primarily, and we need to restrict numbers, and should expect more newbies than normal.

Have a think about whether you'd like to come along, and I'll be in touch next week through Tim to find out about volunteers

Many thanks

Kate
