---**NOTE: The river levels have
the potential to get a lil *spicy* this time of year so the session may be
called off last minute **----
We take
polo boats and spraydecks for these sessions. These are tippier than river
boats and if you aren't comfortable in one then come on Wednesday instead. Any
questions ask Josh.
Slightly later than normal this week, if you would prefer it to be earlier let Madeline/Josh know.
Meet at the boathouse at 8am.

You should be comfortable paddling that distance (and back) at a leisurely pace. Meet at 6, we should be off the water by about 8.

THE
WEDNESDAY WARRIORS RETURN AT MC 13:30-15:00
The
usual Wednesday session! Open to beginners and is simply a really chill couple
hours on the River Wear. If you want to get into kayaking or simply have a fun
afternoon on the river this is probably the session for you!
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.
See
you there!

Please only attend this session if you have already attended a beginner's polo session or have chatted to Sarah (I promise I'm friendly!).
If you came to beginner's polo and are looking to keep improving then this is the training for you!
Training focus will depend on number but will likely be about some of the things we could improve on based on recent tournaments - can't wait to see you there!
Any questions chat to Sarah
