26 days to go. Wonderful to announce our first official sign up from Continental Europe tonight - Club number 74 is the Rotary Club of Satu Mare in Romania , thanks to Oanu Dumitru for completing the registration.
We really are closing in very fast on that 100 club sign up target - not a single day in the last week has gone by without a new sign up to report. Also in this week alone we've had sign ups from two Rotaract Clubs in London and Sydney, plus an Interact and even an Earlyact club in Pakistan, which just underlines how far we are now reaching in terms of participation.
What's also brilliant is that a number of sign ups this week, are from additional clubs that are linking up with those already entered to share in the events.
In that spirit, it would be truly wonderful if all of the clubs that are now officially entered could make a final promotional push to connect with other clubs including Rotaract and Interact clubs in their local area and Districts to get involved.
Please do use your own network of contacts through email, facebook and social media to help us reach as many people as possible. Every day, with every new connection, the collective efforts of our Rotary family around the world are writing new chapters in this incredible story.
We will shortly be setting up a Facebook group and inviting all those taking part or helping to promote Global Swimarathon to join in, and this should be another great way to share experiences, support and help each other in getting everything ready for that magical day on 25th February.
Finally, can I request that in terms of promoting the event in local media, coverage in newspapers / radio interviews , it is VERY IMPORTANT for the record submission that you keep extra copies of any articles mp3s etc about your local events to send through to us in Grantham at Global Swimarathon HQ along with completed list of entrants and photos / videos from the day as evidence. So please do keep that in mind over the next few weeks in the build up to the event.
Thankyou for all that you are doing - you really are making a difference, we really can END POLIO NOW.
