Hello AllGreat to meet you today and thank you for showing interest in taking part. This is a letter I sent out yesterday to all the people who have signed up to take part so please forgive me for those of you who joined today but can't see your name on the list, I have added you to my spread sheet of swimmers. Please have a look at the links which I have been using to help promote this event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUEVGM1Al78&sns=em http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=plcp&v=vUEVGM1Al78Now you have seen the links you know a bit more of what the Bellyflop is about.What I am hoping to do is get 100 people to swim 32 lengths and raise as much as they can. The target is still the same for all swimmers of 100 or more but please do not worry if you find it difficult to reach as it is something to aim for.I will be on holiday for the 7th of August so I would need to know ASAP if you could get a few people to take part. I have done all the work with the Justgiving page and how to donate so all you have to do is to join up. Suzanne I am more than happy for you to take part while you are on holiday.The date for the BellyFlop Splash is the 6th of September at the Harborne Pool in Birmingham only a few miles from Bournville.The link to make a donation is: http://www.justgiving.com/Michael-Huggins1Sorry for having my name included on this link but this will take you to the JustGiving page I have setup for the Bellyflop Splash. The other way people can donate is by text. Its very simple to use and much quicker than going online. All you have to do is send a text to 70070 type the code in BFSA52 Then the amount you want to donate **Can you please stress that people enter the names of the person they want to sponsor, this will make it better for me to log who is getting sponsored and I can let you know when a donation has been made for you.Ideally it would be better if all donations were made online or by text but I know some people dont like to use this system so I have attached a sponsorship form for those who prefer to use this instead.Teams for now are:Sharon Davies Mermaids: David Holmes Johnathon Thomas Kate Peet Rob Waldron Joanne Walsh Andrew Bowles Neil Chapman Paul St Albyn Phil ThurstonDucan Goodhew Barracudas: Mike Hall Harry McCarrol Steve Evans Paul Merry Mark Fellows Stephen Davies Trevor Huggins Lee Walls John Price Kev Wilson Ellien Simmonds Sharks: Joanne Witlock Dawn Jones Wayne Lutwyche Debra Tully Michelle Geary Luke WitlockTom Daley Divers: David Lilly John Ravenscroft Mark Edwards Martin Smith Shazaib KhukharRebecca Adlington Dolphins: Sonia Chhatwal Suna Calisal Tasmina Hoque ?
