If you didn’t have enough fun on the Tees last week then here is your chance!
Charlotte and Nick are leading an intro to white water session on the Tees - Abbey Rapids where you can progress your skills and have a chance of more interesting water!
The plan is to meet at MC for 8:45 and be done around about early afternoon (as we all have degrees to do and catch up with!)
You must be confident using a spray deck and be happy with paddling in moving water.
If you have any queries about ability give Charlotte or Nick a message as we want you to have as much fun as possible!

Cost - £6
Meet at the boathouse at 7:30 pm for transport to Darlington for the Pool session. We should arrive back and be done by 11pm
There are limited spaces based on the number of cars we have - so sorry if you can't get on.
This session will focus on the learning polo skills but we will also teach general boat handling skills - rolling and T-rescue with some general skills. Everyone will be in polo boats as there will be a full polo match during the session.
Priority is given to those who have paid for membership - if you sign up without having paid we may have to remove you from the session. Bring clothes to get changed into - you will get wet but it's inside and warm. Sports clothes or a swimming costume with shorts/leggings and a sports top work well

The full tour ticket is £30 and includes, 2 days of paddling, the classic Ceilidh, a firework display, and lots of entertainment from your fellow paddlers and the wider paddling community!
Note: there will be an additional fuel charge and potential hiring of tents change which will be equally distributed among all attendees but this will be sorted after confirmation of booking.
The river is the North Tyne and is classed as a grade 1 and 2 river and there will be lots of safety for this white water event! If you do sign up please can you send your money to the DUCC account ASAP so that we can do a bulk order of tickets, (if you have any queries about payment please speak to Sarah Appleby).
If you have any queries about this trip please speak to Charlotte (DUCC Trip Officer) and she will happily advise you, if you have any camping kit that you are willing to let the club borrow please let Charlotte know as that will massively help when organising.

13:00-15:00
Basic polo drills on the river wear!
Aimed to intermediate/competent paddlers, however no canoe polo experience is necessary. Aim to be on the water quickly with the potential for a 10-minute break halfway through so bring a snack as well as the usual towel and change of clothes.

NOTE - These sessions will be dark, and cold, and potentially quite miserable depending on how many alarms I missed that morning. Swimming at this time will likely lead to filling out paperwork because of the cold. As such, these sessions are exclusively reserved for club members who have either been to a morning session previously, or have been told by the exec that they are suitable. If you're in doubt, ask Joe/Sarah.
7.15 start. Don't be stood around waiting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morning fitness resumes! Meet at the boathouse for 7.15am, off the water and dry-ish by 8.30am. Sometimes these will be super intense sprint sessions, other times it will be chill skills based workouts. Yes, I do have a season plan for this (Novel I know - See Below). Bring gear that will keep you warm! And DEFINITELY bring spare clothes and a towel.
Small number of places for this session at post, but if more leaders are present this will change. If you're for some reason desperate to be out of bed super early on a Monday morning, keep an eye on this page.
