Burgers and Beers @ The Lake Social – 7th of August
We are excited to share that we are going to be having our 2nd Burgers and Beers Social at Queenford Lake on Wednesday the 7th of August 2024.
This will involve the opportunity to swim as part of our normal OxfordTri Wednesday Night Social Swim 7-8pm. With the Burgers and Beers served from 7:30 (dietary requirements and a selection of non-alcoholic drinks will be provided).
***Please email any dietary requirements to Graceë Gilbert (ge.gilbert@hotmail.com)***
The cost is £10 per person and this will include a minimum of 1 burger and 2 beverages.
This year we are using a ticketed system to try and speed up the serving system and to enable us to better gauge the quantities of food and drink for the evening. Tickets are limited so if you know you can make it, please do buy them as soon as possible.
Tickets can be purchased here – https://www.oxfordtri.uk/product/burgersandbeers7ofaugust/
Deadline for buying tickets will be 10pm on the 5th of August after this point we will not be able to guarantee that you will be able to get food/drink.
We would love for friends and family to join us and on this occasion, they will be able to join in the 7-8pm swim as long as they are an adult, can swim 400m unaided, have the correct kit (Tow Float and Bright Swim Cap) and have completed our Open Water Guest Form (this enables us to store ICE details)

OxfordTri Club Survey
Over the past couple of months as a committee we have been working on a survey to help us understand your experience as part of our OxfordTri Community. The survey can be found through clicking the link below.
We are offering members who complete the survey the opportunity to be entered into a prize draw for one of two entries. One a place at Blenheim Palace Triathlon and then the other at the Oxfordshire Sprint Triathlon.
Completing this survey goes along ways to helping us plan for the future and your experience of the club we hope that you would consider taking the time to complete it, it should take no more than 10 minutes and is anonymous.

Weekend Adventures
A reminder that we have a Weekend Adventures post on the Facebook group. The idea of this post is to give club members the opportunity to share any Swim, Bike, Run related activities which they are up to over the weekend with the ability for others to join them. This is open to members of all abilities and objectives. Please see the below banner which helps to outline how it works.
If you are not on the Facebook group here is the link – https://www.facebook.com/groups/oxfordtri
For those not on Facebook who would like to be involved either as a participant or an organiser if you email info@oxfordtri.co.uk where we will try to help you as best as possible.
