Our Friday pool sessions are back!
Learn to roll in a nice warm pool!
£5 for this week's session pool hire and transportation.
Bring a towel, something you are happy to wear in the boat in
the pool (Sports clothes or a swimming costume with shorts/leggings and a
sports top work well) as well as a change of clothes for afterwards.
When you sign up could you please add a comment saying either 'Rolling' or 'Polo' depending on what you are intending to do at the pool session. (Priority will go to those learning to roll due to limited space in the pool, but please still sign up regardless).
Priority is given to those who have paid for membership but non-members are
also welcome for a price of £7.
Meet at the boathouse at 7:00 pm for transport to the Pool session.
----**NOTE:
The river levels have the potential to get a lil *spicy* this time of year so
the session may be called off last minute. Keep an eye on the groupchat! **----
THE
WEDNESDAY WARRIORS RETURN AT MC 15:30-17:00
The
usual Wednesday session! Open to beginners and is simply a really chill couple
hours on the River Wear. If you want to get into kayaking or simply have a fun
afternoon on the river this is probably the session for you!
Please
bring a fleece to wear on the water, spare shoes, plenty of spare clothes and a
towel. It is best not to wear jeans on the water since these shrink when wet.
See
you there!
What's more fun than kayaking at 7am?
Meet at 7am, on the river once it's light, off the river around 8:15-8:30.
Open to anyone comfortable using a polo boat and a spray deck. Will be a mix of sprints and endurance.
Bring a change of clothes as it will be very cold.
Beginner polo (yay!!). Everyone welcome (even/especially if you haven't played before), starting with the very very basics and working up to develop skills so we can smash league and tournaments this year and in the future!
PS: most people will be in white water boats to begin with and we will be using decks (it's okay if you haven't before we will explain!).
PPS: This is all weather permitting - if its too wet/cold it won't be on. Keep an eye on the group chat! Also bring dry + warm clothes for after.

Our first introduction to white water trip! This is a day trip to the North Tyne or appropriate river depending on water levels.
The only costing is fuel for this trip and if all the seats are booked then will be between £5-£10 roughly but will depend on numbers of car places.
This trip is for those who have come to Wednesday sessions, used a spray deck and are comfortable with a capsize drill (recommended to do at a pool session if not done before). It is for those who are confident paddling on flat water, turning and moving a boat and are now ready for harder water.
This is a day trip so please bring clothes to kayak in (lots of warm layers and fleeces) *no cotton or jean type clothing* we will provide wetsuits, cags and kayaking equipment but please bring enough layers to kayak in (the more you bring the better).
Please bring a change of clothes and shoes, a bag to put your kit in and lunch for the day, it's recommended to have a flask of hot drink as well for afterwards.
Any queries, message Charlotte, your trip officer!

Do you enjoy being tired, cold and wet? Come to Monday morning fitness!
Meet at 7:15am at our Maiden Castle boathouse. Off the water by 8:20am so you can still get to those all important 9am lectures.
We use polo boats for this session. If you haven't been in a polo boat yet/aren't comfortable in one, please give this session a miss. Pool sessions are a great opportunity to try one for the first time. Speak to a leader if you have any questions.
