/Dear all,
Following one of the OSS Oxon regulars, a couple of us have decided that we will swim at least once every month over 2011. Having braved January and February - here is the plan for March:/ / Neil, Sef, Pam, Jeremy and Lindsay will be swimming in the Thames at Clifton Hampden, Nr Abingdon on Sunday 27th March at 11:00am. //If you would like to join us you would be very welcome. // //Non-swimming partners and friends who fancy a morning stroll along the river bank watching us swim will be more than welcome, especially if they are willing to carry a few items of kit to swimmers' getting-out points. //Let me know if you are thinking of coming or alternatively just turn up on the day./ / Meet in the car park opposite the Barley Mow pub. //(South of the bridge on the road towards Long Wittenham).

We can decide on the exact plan on the day. We could swim up towards Clifton Lock and back, or (pleasanter) down-river as far as people want and either swim or walk back, depending on time, current, weather and energy. There is a good range of potential getting-out points downstream. / /Any questions drop us a line.
THIS IS THE WEEKEND THE CLOCKS GO FORWARD SO 11:00am IS GOING TO FEEL LIKE 10:00am !/
