instead. Any questions ask Noah/Ben/Izzy

Saturday 27th January 2024 09:00 at Grade 2/3 river - rain dependant
Hi all, Charlotte here!
DUCC presents its first #ShePaddles White Water Paddle. It will be a grade 2/3 river for girls interested in in white water but: haven't had the opportunity to sign up yet/want to progress their paddling/haven't been white water paddling in a while etc.
It will be a small-ish group to help you progress your confidence and practice techniques on the river.
This is the perfect preamble before refreshers, or a great start to WW kayaking with DUCC!
Note: if popular it is likely we will need a male driver for numbers - Josh (our Trip officer) has happily agreed to support this initiative and be a driver for us... and photographer!
Current plan: arrive at the boathouse for 9:00, go to a river - tees area/tyne area, (weather dependant), run the river, and practice techniques and then head back to the boathouse at early evening time.
Any questions - give Charlotte a message!

We take polo boats and spraydecks for these sessions. Please only come if you've been in one before!
Fancy kayaking in the cold and damp at the crack of dawn? Of course you do!
Meet at the boathouse at 7:15am, off the water by 8:30am so everyone can get to those all important 9am lectures.
Because this session is more polo focused, it will be a lot of sprints (gotta work on that straight line speed), chat, and general hard work but also fun.
If you wake up in the morning and decide it ain’t worth it, I get it, just please drop me a text so we’re not waiting for you :)
Thursday 25th January 2024 13:00 at Rowing Tank at MC

If we have enough rain to have river levels above a scrape, this should be an easy intermediate WW paddle this Saturday the 13th.
Meet at the boathouse 9 a.m. Any questions please feel free to ask Josh or Nick.
The forecast is not promising much rain, so there is a chance of it not running.
