OSS Swim the Thames 2012 - Dates for your Diaries At the risk of reducing the spontaneity and the rather happy go lucky approach to our swimming we have set dates for the 2012 season of the OSS Swim the Thames. Don't know exactly where we will be swimming on these dates yet but these are the dates we will be swimming on. Full details will be sent in the normal way, a couple of weeks prior to each swim, via Facebook events, OSSOxon / OSSRATS mail list and the OSS website. Gives us flexibility to vary our pace to suit the conditions and how we feel on the day. Monday 2nd January End of year party Sunday 15th January Sunday 19th February Sunday 25th March Monday 9th April Easter Monday Sunday 22nd April Anniversary of Swim the Thames Saturday 5th May Camp Sunday 6th May Bank Holiday weekend Saturday 19th May Late Afternoon swim Monday 4th June Camp Tuesday 5th June Jubilee Bank Holiday Saturday 16th June Late Afternoon swim Saturday 30th June Dorset Camp Sunday 1st July Dorset Camp Sunday 15th July Early Afternoon Saturday 28th July Late Afternoon Sunday 12th August Saturday 25th August Camp Sunday 26th August Bank Holiday weekend Saturday 8th September Camp Sunday 9th September Sunday 30th September Sunday 14th October Sunday 28th October Sunday 18th November Sunday 9th December We've attached a calendar and list of dates that you can print and stick to the fridge with the dates on. We have earmarked 5 weekends for camps so we can have two days swimming and a night time dip. How this works will depend on where we are on that dates and if there is a suitable site so we will play this by ear and if we don't manage all days at least hope to get three camps this year. For the mid summer swims we're trying the idea of a late afternoon / early evening swims followed by a pub dinner as an alternative to morning swims. We can always change to the day time again if we decide that we don't like the idea after all. Pencil these dates in your diaries and look out for the individual announcements with full details nearer the time. /Sef & Jeremy and the folk from the River Bank e-mail: / /oxford@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=responsibi... <http://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/index.php?p=swimming_tips&s=responsibility> All swimmers swim at their own risk./
