[OSS Oxon] Sonning to Shiplake swim next week

Don't despair of trying out that wetsuit Victoria (and how uncharitable that
you should be laughed at when trying it on at home!)
I could do Monday or Wednesday evening next week (13th or 15th September),
but given that you are free earlier on Monday, could I suggest 6:30pm on
Monday from the French Horn at Sonning Eye ? From the other posting by Pam,
it looks like she may be available Monday as well ? Anyone else up for this
?
I'm also available from about 5:30pm Saturday or Sunday this weekend if you
or anyone else is interested in meeting up - perhaps to do the next stretch
along at Mapledurham.
I don't think I'll be able to do next weekend (18th / 19th) and having said
in a OSS RATS post that I can do all evenings next week except Tuesday, I
now realise I can't actually do Thursday or Friday, so in fact only Monday
or Wednesday... (!)
Regards
Lindsay
