This is a great way to relax, take
whatever boat you are comfortable in - we will paddle up to Prebends Bridge and
possibly play some games once we're there.
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.

Played canoe polo before? Amazing! Imagine all the fun of previous sessions but minus the fitness and add (hopefully) sunny weather! Come along to develop some skills and chat with friends in a fun, hopefully helpful, fitness free session!
Not played canoe polo before? That means you haven't known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high sch-, sorry, university canoe polo. But this can be rectified! Come along to learn the basics and throw a ball around in the sun. It's not like you have much else to do now exams are over!
The exact contents of this session will depend on what ability mix we have.
Any questions chat to Sarah!

Off to the Tees tomorrow!
Boathouse at 9am - bring some water for the day and lunch for the way back or at least some snacks!
Don't forget a spare change of clothes, towels etc etc.
It has been raining but should be a nice and decent level. Perfect opportunity to lap certain features such as dog's leg and low force.
Any queries give Charlotte a message!

Is it river water or did I just have a little cry?
Join me and Noah after our AMV exam for some polo, because who needs to be able to solve IN/IN PDEs when you can throw a ball. Everyone welcome as long as your comfortable in a polo boat :)

the potential to get a lil *spicy* this time of year so the session may be

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.
