Hi There Have put together a wee photo comp for tomorrow's event - but my printer is rubbish and only prints in blue and yello!! Does anyone have a good printer and would be able to print out 4 or 5 all colour A4 sheets that they could then bring with them tomorrow? Thanks Jo

Dear All Firstly, and most importantitantly, can you please let me have any award votes by Friday - so far I have only had 4 returns!!! Second, and secondly importantitantly, Perch has us booked to sit down for eatingtons at 1.30p.m. So our 11.00 meet should allow us plenty of time to dip, and then warm up by the fireside. See you all then - and have a great Christmas in the meantime, and a wonderful Winter Solstice.. yay, roll on the longer days again Jo xx

OSS Swim the Thames #16 - Trout Inn Godstow to Danger Bridge - Sun23Oct11@11:00am The Perch at Binsey
by Jeremy Wellingham 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

/The Indian summer's over and winter is rapidly approaching neatly sidestepping autumn - time to shift down a gear into our more modest cold water distances but not into neutral. This Sunday's swim will take us to Port Meadow where we can claim to have arrived at Oxford, a milestone worth celebrating. After the last swim's extended leg we will start a bit later which will give anyone that would like to catch up on the Kings Lock to the Trout section the opportunity to start earlier and then join us at the Trout. Let us know if you're doing that so we can look out for you at The Trout. This is part of swim #29 from Michael Worthington's I Love The Thames book and is around 2.5km. We will meet at The Perch at Binsey OX2 0NG at 11:00am on Sunday 23rd October: http://g.co/maps/um4h5 We'll walk up to The Trout and jump in at the steps in The Trout car park: http://g.co/maps/hgj49 Swim down to and under Danger Bridge in Port meadow - that's the Big Jump bridge - and get out in the pool just the other side of the bridge: http://g.co/maps/nnr24 Then walk back to The Perch for lunch: http://www.the-perch.co.uk/index.html/ /Sef and Jeremy and the cool carp of the Isis e-mail: Oxford(a)outdoorswimmingsociety.com <mailto:Oxford@outdoorswimmingsociety.com> / /*OSS swim responsibility statement:*/ /By attending you confirm that you are a member of the OSS and have read and accepted the OSS swim responsibility statement:/ /http://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/index.php?p=swimming_tips&s=responsibility <http://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/index.php?p=swimming_tips&s=responsib…>/ /All swimmers swim at their own risk./
