Saturday January 22nd, 5.30 p.m. at West Street Social Club, Ringwood, followed by Disco until 10.00

Friday night saw the majority of the children swimmining continuously for
charity. We are still awaiting for some money so don’t know the final amount
raised and despite me setting a wrong target (I wrote 6400 instead of 4600) the
swimmers even beat this target. Overall they swam a total of 6,558 lengths which
equals 163.95Km, a superb effort by all.

There were some notable swims during the sessions with Ellen achieving her
target of 200 lengths without stopping, however the swimmer of the night has to
be Jamie Rogers who swam in both the second and third sessions clocking an
amazing 366 lengths or 9,150 metres.

For those who want the detail the table below shows how far each lane in each
session swum.

Well done to all swimmers and helpers

A date has finally been set for the charity swim. We are discussing about using justgiving as a way of fundraising (instead of the old fashioned paper method!) and I’m investigating how we can do this for two charities. I will update over the next week on this.

As mentioned before, we need as many people to help count the lengths as possible so please let myself, Carole or Anne know if you are willing to help.

Sponsorship form available here.
NOTE: When prompted, enter the username “ringwood”; the password is the same one you use to access the Members Only area.

This will take place on Sat 13th November. More details will follow closer to the event

Following suggestions for more time to raise sponsorship and also the fact that I am due to fly back from China on the 1st we will postpone the charity swim until later in Oct. I will advise you of a date within the next week.

Sorry for any inconvenience but I’m sure you want to raise as much money as possible.
