I can only do Wednesday next week (or Thursday / Friday) for Sonning.
I'd consider the weekend 18/19 for another section of the Mapledurham
swim, maybe from Pangbourne?
Mapledurham swim was excellent, Victoria, Helen arranged some very good
weather. Hoping she can call in the favour again for the next swims!
Regards Jeremy
I've reverted this thread to the OSSRATS list . . .
