    First of all, many thanks to your mods for allowing me to post this thread.


    Can I take a few moments of your time please?

    On Boxing day this year, I will be taking part in a sponsored swim in the sea at Cromer.
    All money raised will go to the Norfolk and Norwich Scope Association.

    If anybody would be willing to sponsor me, please could you pm me, and I will let you have details of where to send the money.
    Obviously all pms will be treated as confidential

    Photos of me doing the deed will be posted shortly after the event

    Recently a whale was washed ashore at Cromer. On Boxing day, there could well be another one <yikes>



    More about NNSA can be found here.

    Many thanks



    ps. If any of you are in the area on Boxing day, please come and say Hi. I will be the one in a Norwich Shirt.

    One question that has puzzled me. How the hell can anyone put the words 'fun' and 'run' together.

    Can my poor old body take 2 shocks in one day?

    More importantly, can the spectators take 2 shocks in one day? <yikes>

    Been down today to have a look. It does appear to be a tad choppy.
    Reports for Boxing day suggest it might be a tad nippy.
    We are due in at 11am, and a high tide is expected.
    Could well be a higher tide once I get in the water <yikes>

    Photos will be forthcoming.
