Wednesday 2nd March 2022 18:20 at Newcastle @ Junkyard Golf
Another expedition to Newcastle!
Keep an eye on this signup page - will first gauge interest, then will make the necessary bookings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone likes mini golf! So we're going for a couple of rounds of it in Newcastle, then possibly/probably to a Wetherspoons straight after. This will take the place of the ritual Wednesday Spoons this week.
https://www.junkyardgolfclub.co.uk/newcastle/
Provisional start of 6.20pm just outside the venue, and we'll be playing two rounds. A few of us will be getting a train into town in time for this - keep an eye both here and on the social chat for this.
Price for 2 rounds is £8.50, but ONLY with Student ID. Make sure not to forget these if you're coming along!
Wednesday 2nd March 2022 16:00 at The Erg Tank at Maiden Castle
NEW SESSION!
16:00-17:30
Kayak erg fitness sessions to improve general fitness and endurance. These sessions are made for you to gradually improve each week, so try and come each week to you keep up your progress. All levels are welcome as you will be going at your own pace and setting your own goals.
You may come to at least one session per week, but if there are spaces you're more than welcome to come to more. Next term we hope to set this training up properly with set groups per session.
These sessions are set for 2 hours, but will likely finish after 1.5 hours depending on the session plan. Come in normal fitness/gym clothes with clean trainers (so we don't walk mud everywhere) and a bottle of water.

We're back and grumpier than ever! READ THE BELOW NOTICE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Martin.
Also, 7.15 start. Note the time change. 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. No, I don't have a season plan for this. 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.
Saturday 26th February 2022 08:30 at Upper Tees
River Trip!
Heading to the Upper Tees for the day. Bring a change of warm clothes, a towel, and snacks!
Fairly limited spaces so far - if more drivers become available, more spots will be too.
8.30am down at the boathouse. This might be pushed back later, but probably not earlier.
Friday 25th February 2022 07:15 at Maiden Castle
They talked me into running this again! I don't know how.
7.15am start at the Boathouse - bring a change of clothes as it might be cold. If you're confident you won't be going for a swim when kayaking, feel free to signup!
Done by 8.30am, so just in time for those early morning lectures.

Business as usual! Skills and chill paddle on the Wear.
13:30-15:30
Meet at the boathouse, should be off the water before 15:30. Maybe earlier/later depending on the weather and whether people need to be away. These sessions are open to everyone, all skill levels are encouraged here. Come along and unwind mid-week!
Bring warm spare clothes and a towel - as you've probably noticed, it's quite cold at this time of year, and the river isn't exactly a sauna...
Please bring a mask along with you and a valid negative university LFT that has been done within 48 hours of the session. Failure to do so will result in you being turned away from the session :(

Friday 4th February 2022 18:00 at Far Sawrey, Lake District
Refreshers 2022!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TLDR here:
Total Cost is £50 - this covers food, transport, and accommodation. Leave Friday evening ~6pm, return to Durham on Sunday in time for tea. Bring changes of clothes, towels, snacks, etc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yearly weekend trip to the lake district!
Whitewater/River inclined trip. This event is open to all skill levels - there is something for everyone here.
We leave Durham on the Friday evening. We'll be looking to do *at least* one river on the Saturday, and another on the Sunday. Time and weather permitting, there will be more.
We're staying in a village hall - bring sleeping bags and roll mats. If you are in need of these, please ask me (Martin) in advance! The club has a number to spare, on a first-come first-served basis. Otherwise, I can acquire these bits of kit, so long as I have a couple days notice.
We'll be cooking our own meals, so there's nothing else needed on your end. Asides from snacks, of course. Total cost for everything - food, accommodation, transport - is £50.
If you have any questions, ask away!
