We're teaming up with our friends at Tri2O for a fun, relaxed social where you can connect with new people through the sports we all love! 🏊🚴🏃

You are welcome to take part in one, two, or all three activities - it's completely up to you. The only bit we REALLY want to see you at is the food! We've arranged for paella to be served after our swimming, cycling, and running 🥘

Everything this evening will be at a relaxed, social pace. This is all about having fun - no pressure or racing, just a great evening with great people ☀️

Here’s how the evening will flow:

• Lake Swim: From 5pm onwards. Swim as much or as little as you like, there’s no set distance and it’s self-guided (generously supported by TVT/Tri2O, no need to book via NOWCA).  If you’re joining the bike ride, please be changed and ready by 18:30.
• Bike Ride (20km): Starts at 18:30. We’ll ride in friendly, chatty groups of around 6 people. Just bring your good vibes and be ready to roll on time!
• Run/Walk: Starts at 19:40. 1 lap or 2 laps around the lake. Whether you fancy a gentle run, a run/walk, or something in between, we've got supportive groups for all paces. Each lap around the lake is 1 mile.
• Paella Party: From 20:00–20:15. Delicious fresh paella made on-site while you relax and chat. Please bring your own drinks, soft or alcoholic, whatever you like.

All we ask is a small contribution of £10 a ticket to the fund to help cover the cost of the food. We can’t wait to see you there!
