ENTRY FORMS HOT OFF THE PRESS FOR POOLE AUDI HEX-TREME!

Poole Audi Hex-treme, one of the UK s most innovative and challenging
sporting events is heading for its third year on Sunday 7th September 2003
and entry forms for this unique six-leg sporting event are now available.

Due to the outstanding success of the first two years, organisers have
increased the number of spaces to 45 with the addition of a separately
scored women s race for 15 women. The men s race will now enable 30
entrants to compete. At this one-day event, based across Poole s Sandbanks
beach, competitors will gain aggregate scores across the event s six
disciplines sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, swimming, cycling, and
running. Each leg is contested separately and carries a point score based
on finishing position.

Offering a prize fund of #1300, the level of competition is set to increase
yet again this year with competitors hoping to knock reigning champion of
two years, Richard Vail, off the top position. Hotel Group, FJB continues
its support as a sub sponsor of the event and Fitness First has also
confirmed their continued support for this year s event giving annual
membership as prizes for the winners. For the first time this year, new
retailer to the region, Cotswold Outdoor, the UK s award winning chain of
outdoor clothing and equipment stores, are also introduced as sub sponsors
by providing vouchers for the top man and woman and goodie bags for every
entrant.

David Kelly, managing director of Poole Audi, says; Since last year s event
we ve had great interest from potential participants and we are delighted to
announce the availability of the application forms for the 2003 event. Each
year we are seeing standards raised in every aspect of Hex-treme and we have
increased the number of positions to try and reduce disappointment. It will
be exciting to see 45 competitors take up the challenge to gain the top
positions!
