Big Walk, Little Splash

April 01, 2012 Balham WI 0 Comments

Between now and the 16th September, to celebrate the 2012 Olympics, Wandsworth WI is taking up the challenge to...

Walk, or swim, 209 miles - the equivalent of the distance between Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch to the Olympic Stadium, London (as the crow flies) between the 1st April and 16th September!

We need all our members to take part so that we can enter and WIN!

All you need to do to take part is to let Maddy know and pledge a number of miles you think you might be able to contribute. We need to record everyone's efforts in a little book so when you walk/swim could you jot down the following info:

Your name
Location
How far you went
What the weather was like
An observation e.g. Fantastic flowers, fabulous swimming costumes etc. (the funnier the better)

Send this info by email using the website or give it in on a piece of paper when you come to a meeting!

There are a few rules:

• Walking or swimming only - nothing else will do!

• we can walk together but total mileage will be how far everyone walked rather than a cumulative one i.e. 5 members walking 5 miles will be 5 miles rather than 25!

• We need everyone to take part - the more the merrier! Even if you can only do a little - it all counts!
