THE
WEDNESDAY WARRIORS RETURN AT MC 13:30-15:00
This week will be a skilled based session! You voted in the socials chat and we are delivering :)
We will be focusing on teaching you how to dip turn this week. This is a really useful skill for polo, generally turning around quickly and just for fun!
To come to this session you must be comfortable in a polo boat and using a spray deck as this is the easiest boat to learn in :) If you aren't sure whether this is you please message either Madeline (training) or Ben (captain), please do message if you are unsure as we want to help you learn and give you as many opportunities as possible!
Please
bring a fleece to wear on the water, spare shoes, plenty of spare clothes and a
towel. It is best not to wear jeans on the water since these shrink when wet.
If
you unsign please pop a message in the socials chat so others can sign up
Any
questions please ask in the socials chat or message Madeline (Training)
See
you there!

Spaces are limited to due to drivers, this could change to be more spaces depending on availability.
Our Friday pool sessions are back!
Learn to roll in a nice warm pool! Play polo in a nice warm pool!
£5 for this week's session pool hire and transportation.
Bring a towel, something you are happy to wear in the boat in
the pool (Sports clothes or a swimming costume with shorts/leggings and a
sports top work well) as well as a change of clothes for afterwards.
When you sign up could you please add a comment saying either
'Rolling' or 'Polo’ or ‘Beginner Polo’ depending on what you are intending to
do at the pool session. If you change your mind and cannot change the
comment as the session is full for example, please either message Madeline or
on the socials chat.
This
week there are 2 spaces for those wanting rolling coaching so please only sign
up if there are less than 2 people signed up for rolling. You are welcome to
play polo instead- keep checking though incase someone who has signed up for
rolling unsigns!
Due to leader availability, the plan is for this week to be rolling again and the following two weeks to be polo only. This is subject to change.
Important: If you unsign less than 24 hours before the session
you will still be charged, unless someone takes your spot.
Put a message in the socials chat if you unsign to give others
the opportunity to sign up!
Priority is given to those who have paid for membership but non-members are
also welcome for a price of £7.
Meet at the boathouse at 7pm for transport to the Pool session.
