Moonlight swim @ Hampton Outdoor Pool
Apr 12 @ 6:00 pm

Next Spencer Social! Let’s make this a big one everyone. Hoping to see as many of you there as possible, as this should be a really cool event.

Hampton Pool is a heated outdoor pool and on the 12th April they are turning off their flood lights and hosting a moonlight swim for a couple of hours. Plan would be to have dinner somewhere close by before hand (if you want) and then swim after (of course with the 1 hour compulsory gap). Then we’ll most likely organise shared taxis/lifts back for those not driving themselves.

All you need to do is call 020 8255 1116 and provide your firstname and surname and perhaps mention you’re with Spencer. Tickets are £8.50 per adult and £4.25 per child.

Spencer Open Water 1500 @ Oxford
Sep 1 all-day

From Steve:
“Dear Fellow Spencer Swimmer​​​​​​,
I am delighted to provide further detail regarding the inaugural Spencer Open Water 1500m championship!
It is a race, but it will also be a great day out, with scenery, spectacle, food and drink.
To be held in Oxford in the Thames, start time 11am on Sunday 1st September 2019, this is a straight 1500 m river race. The club will be making awards by 5-year age categories.
We will follow the race with fabulous coffee and cake, other beverages are available.
After that we will meet for a picnic lunch on the banks of the river and whatever river dips take your fancy.
This is really a fantastic addition to the Spencer calendar and your committee and coach hope for an excellent turn out on the day.
