Solent Swim Update

For those who showed interest in my original posting on the Isle of Wight "Solent Swim", I've had an update, with 2 provisional dates.  They are yet to finalise, I'm not sure why but content of the email was as follows :

 

Hi Andrew,
 
We now have some provisional dates for
the 2010 Champion Behaviours 4th annual Solent Swim -
Sunday 4th
July OR Sunday 5th September
.

 
The swim will be early in the morning
(around 8am) to take advantage of the tides, and also to avoid all the other
traffic on the Solent.

 
The final date will be confirmed
shortly, but we wanted to provide you with the possible dates now.

 
Open water swimming sessions from
Milford-on-Sea will be starting shortly.

 
To make the swim financially viable for
Champion Behaviours we REALLY need a title sponsor for the event. If you think
you, your employer or anyone else you know might be able to help in this regard,
please get in touch with us as soon as possible.

 

Please let me know if you are interested
in taking part in the swim this year, so that I can email the registration form
to you. The minimum donation/entry fee will remain at £100.00, which is payable
on submission of your registration fee to secure your place.

 
Thank you for your interest and support
for Champion Behaviours.

 
Best wishes,
 
Gilly

Note the entry fee is pretty spendy at £100.  I actually cant do either of the dates so if you want to give it a go, I'd recommend contacting Gilly directly.  Good luck !

Is that £100 each?

Looks that way to me...a little pricey I think they are looking for people to be sponsored

It doesn't sound totally unreasonable. It's like a third of an IM, and they are 400+ EUR. And a point to point mass swim across a busy shipping lane sounds like a logistical nightmare! If it's the latter of the two dates I'm in!

Well if it's in Sept I'm well in, however if they decide to pick the July date I'm afraid it'll clash with IM France :-(

I could do either date :-)

July is out for me, but I can do September.
