Then come right down to the boathouse for two hours of paddling this Saturday. George and Abigail will be leading a skills session where everyone can have some fun and learn some skills no matter what knowledge you already have.
If you are attending the Wednesday Session we'd ask you don't sign up for this one as well as we want to ensure as many different people get to come kayaking as possible!
This will be based off the (old) 2 star course. The aim being to get you confident and safe in your vessel.
We'll be ensuring you over the next few weeks you have these skills:
Confidence Lifting, Carrying and Launching a kayak
Paddling Forward/Backwards efficiently
General Steering
Manoeuvring in a confined space
Moving Sideways
Preventing a Capsize
Turning
Confidence with a spray deck
Having Fun
and perhaps some of these, if we have time:
Bow dip turns (in polo boats)
Capsize, swim and self-rescue (with no panic!)
Knowledge of the River Wear
Rescuing others
Canadian Canoeing
Ferry Gliding
Confidence at higher water levels
Can't wait to see you there
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
You are required to take 2 university LFT Covid-19 tests a week if you are taking part in sport; we will be monitoring this. A test must be taken within 48 hours before the session.
If you sign up to this session and then cannot attend for any reason, you must let an exec member know asap and unsign on this page.
Meet at the boathouse at 7:00 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

Just a chilled afternoon out on the River Wear - a few games, a few drills, otherwise just a relaxed paddle session.
Bring a spare change of clothes, shoes for the water, and a towel (we'll supply the rest). Where possible, come to the session in the clothes you intend on wearing on the water, to minimise time in the boathouse.

A joint kayaking weekend trip with Newcastle, Northumbria, and Leeds Uni! Sign up if you're interested!
Instead of our yearly Tyne Tour trip (that's been cancelled yet again), we are running a knock-off tyne tour. Tyne Tour is a paddling festival that takes place over a weekend early in Michaelmas term. It's a fun weekend of kayaking and partying, with a ceilidh on Friday. This is not an event to miss. It's great fun for everyone involved and a fantastic event for all, regardless of your ability on the water.
In the past, prices were around £20-25 plus a little more for food/fuel. Worth every penny. Actual dates/prices will appear on this page as soon as we have them, along with more details about the event.
Rough Plan:
Friday Night - A Ceilidh 8pm-10pm (A cèilidh or céilí is a traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering involving music and dance)
Saturday Day - Paddle along the River Tyne
Saturday Night - Night out in Newcastle
Sunday- Maybe a trip along the River Tees (Or hometime for those who need to leave early)
