Greetings fellow wet ones,

 

Our next canoe trip will be to the Lake District on the 2nd-4th Feb (end of week 4), where we usually paddle the Kent and the Leven. Here’s a video of what we paddled last year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MytAOeg99YU

 

These rivers will be more challenging than those on previous trips this year, making it great preparation for Scotland (hype!). We suggest that you come by the pool for a bit of practice in our evening sessions. They run on Monday and Wednesday 8.30-10 every week. Although the ability to roll is not necessary, it’s recommended.

 

Signups will go live at noon this Thursday.

 

If you are unsure whether this trip will be suitable for you, sign up anyway, and we can talk to you about it.

 

See you tonight at the ice skating social, starting at the Harvester (at the skydome) at 7, and skating at 8. Don’t forget to sign up for your ice card at: http://iceaccount.co.uk/iceaccount/login_or_register&dir=/icecard&client_id=7

 

Tonights pool session has been cancelled because we are all dancing on ice.

 

Much love

Daddy Will and the Canoe Exec

Week 3 Social - ICE SKATING

Posted 6y 3mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Lara
Have you ever struggled to stay upright on the water? Well, if you manage to go upside-down at this social, I'll be impressed!
 
We're going ICE SKATING! This Monday, we'll be heading for ice skating in Coventry - public skate is from 20:15 to 22:00.
 
If you want to eat beforehand, we'll be at the Harvester at 19:00.
 
With skate hire, it will cost £9 (I believe there's student discount available) but bring cash since they charge for card.
 
MAKE SURE to sign up for a FREE Ice Card here, otherwise it'll be £2.20 more on the day: http://iceaccount.co.uk/iceaccount/login_or_register&dir=/icecard&client_id=7
 
Transport-wise, after 6pm National Express have a ticket of up to 5 people for £5! The 11 will take you from either Leam or campus into Coventry.
 
Hope to see you there!
 
Social Sec Love <3

(PS the pool session for that day has been cancelled, sorry!)
(PPS - Pop! sneak peak: the theme is farmyard)

Hey everyone, hope you had a good new year!
 
What's better in these chilly days than a curry to warm us all up?
