DATELINE: 23rd August 2001

SWEATING FOR CONSERVATION
The Marine Conservation Society has a very committed conservation officer. Gavin Saville has decided to run a triathlon to raise money for the group.
Gavin competes in The London Triathlon, based at the capital's ExCel exhibition centre at Royal Victoria Dock on 26 August.
Gavin will be putting himself through the grind of a 1.5km swim, 40km cycle ride and 10km run and would be grateful to individuals and organisations who, suitably sympathetic to his masochistic pursuit, would be happy to donate a sum towards the MCS's work in promoting marine wildlife conservation causes.
You can contact Gavin at: Marine Conservation Society, 9 Gloucester Road, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire HR9 5BU; tel 01989 566017, fax 01989 567815; email gavin@mcsuk.org
