NOW AT 9AM BECAUSE WE ARE LAZY
Do you want to get up to go kayaking in the cold and damp? Of course you do!
Will be a mix of sprints, drills, chat, and general hard work but also fun.
Please make sure you are already comfortable wearing a spraydeck and with basic boat skills before coming (just because swimming at 9am isn't fun for anyone involved).
Can't wait to see you there

Meet at the boat house, now at 6pm.
We will paddle to town and back, so please make sure you are comfortable paddling that distance. If unsure, please ask Charlotte or Josh.
Monday 5th June 2023 09:00 at Llangollen - meet at boathouse.
From the 5th – 9th of June.
Expected cost including: food, accommodation, and transport,
is about £100.
This trip Is planned to have a lot of activities, but there
is no obligation to paddle every day. Some of the activities panned so far:
easy white water on the Dee, a trip to the upper Tryweryn if it is releasing, then also a trip to the lower Tryweryn and
maybe some other rivers if we have water. One day we might have a mini Dee fest
with lots of fun and little challenges that all abilities can take part in. Flat
water paddles along the canal that includes the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct are also planned
(hopefully you don’t need to break the ice to get across it as I did in December). The plan is for it to be quite a social event, with a party planned on the 7th.
Please pay £24 to secure your place so I can pay for the
scout hut. The rest will be payable after the event, and the exact cost has
been worked out.
You will need a sleeping bag and roll mat as the scout hut doesn’t
have beds. The club has some that can be borrowed, and there are showers. :) If you would like to sleep comfortably you can buy an air bed for as little as £7 and I can bring a pump that can be used to blow it up.

Polo is fun and Chloe has her final exam on Tuesday morning, so what better way to spend Tuesday afternoon!
Don't worry if you're new to polo, if you're vaguely comfortable in a boat you're more than welcome! Equally suitable for those who came to BUCS this year - there'll be something for everyone.
Please bring spare clothes as usual. There'll be an COMPLETELY OPTIONAL opportunity at the end to practice rolling/binning now the river's a bit warmer - if you wanna do this definitely bring spare clothes!
Any questions, reach out to Sarah :)

Some chill canoe polo training on the River Wear. Aiming to work on improving overall skills and development. If there's any specific drills you'd like to do, let me know!
For those who competed for the team at BUCS or those just wanting to give the sport a try! Beginners are welcome :)
You can go in either a polo boat or a normal boat if you are new to the sport. (If you don't know what polo is it's like basketball meets kayaking).
Bring a fleece, a spare change of clothes, and a towel!! Any updates on the session will be posted in the Socials messenger groupchat or on Facebook.
Any questions, drop either Laura G a message or the DUCC exec x
