Hello future NSR champions!
The time has come to sign up to NSR! Please sign up here on the website.
This is a weekend not to miss; it is the highlight of many peoples uni kayaking time, including mine! This amazing weekend is taking place on the 6th to 8th of March, week 9. Sign ups will be going live on the 13th Jan (tomorrow) at 13:00.
It is a camping weekend at HPP in Nottingham where we will be taking part in ridiculous kayaking events such as extreme slalom where you go down the whitewater course doing stupid stuff such as throwing your paddles through a hoop and hitting targets, ÔÇÿfreestyleÔÇÖ events; I use that term lightly as you get points for blowing kisses at the judges and jumping out of your boat! There is also a duo competition that has a race down the course and a freestyle frenzy that has numerous boats competing in one feature at once ÔÇô fantastic fun!
Throughout the day you can chill by the side of the course, drinking and watching all those silly people doing stupid stuff in boats, you can be one of those people taking part (highly recommended), chase a man dressed as a rabbit and tackle him to the floor, demo many of the nice shiny new boats on offer there or all of the above.
On the Saturday night there is a cooked meal followed by an amazing party that has a carnival theme this year.
YouÔÇÖd be a nutter to miss this weekend!
The cost of the weekend varies with how many people we get going so I can only give a rough guide now IÔÇÖm afraid, the price brackets are:
 Around 10 people £20 to £25
Around 20 people £40 to £45
The actual ticket for entry to this is £49, so even £45 is a bargain when transport is included. The price varies as so much as we have a pot of entry fee cash that we can split between everyone going. So the more people going, the less we can subsidise individual tickets, so unfortunately it is slightly more per person.
Please sign up ASAP as tickets sell out fast for this event.┬áSign ups will be closing on Tue 20th┬áJan at 12:00. You are committed to paying once sign ups have closed. If you can no longer come please let me know asap, if this is before sign ups close, no problem, if itÔÇÖs after sign ups close you will have to pay unless we can find someone to take your place. I will send out a link to pay at a later date.
Much Kayaking Love!

BUCS Canoe Slalom at the weekend of week 6/21 (13th-15th February for real people)

Do some slalom; http://www.canoeslalom.co.uk/info/FAQs.htm & youtube has some vids too ; Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
Home, victorious
The National Student Rodeo is fast approaching and tickets will be selling out quick. 
For those of you that don't know what it is, it is a weekend full of camping, BBQs, drinking, music, chasing a man dressed as a rabbit with the occasional bit of paddling thrown in, check out this video of 2013 NSR here: http://vimeo.com/61173581 . All of this is at HPP in Nottingham on the 6th to 8th March (Week 9).
How the weekend works:
Leave on friday and return on sunday as usual. We will be camping across the road from HPP at a campsite. Throughout the weekend you can enter events such as freestyle and the duo competition (which we won two years ago!!). On the Saturday night there is a big social organized by River Legacy along with a meal. There is a Carnival theme this year, judging by fancy dresses we had last year I expect some good ones.
More details will follow once I know prices. If you have any questions just ask me via email, facebook, the website or grab me at a pool session.
Please express your interest on this website forum. (as a rough cost guide, it'll be in the region of £45 to £50, I'll give a better idea once I know ticket prices)
Hey guys,
Just as a welcome back social this Thursday (8th Jan), Jamie and I thought it would be nice if we were all to go for a curry in Leam (probably King BabaÔÇÖs but weÔÇÖll let you know nearer the time). Plan will be to meet at the restaurant at 7:30 to stuff our faces and then possibly go for a couple of drinks afterwards. If you donÔÇÖt know where the restaurant is/ are unsure of how to get there let me know.
  Hopefully see you all there.
I've now made the secret santa list and will send everyone a text/fb message today to let them know who they're buying a present for. If you don't receive a message by the end of the day and think you've definitely signed up let me know and i'll try and sort it. Ho Ho Ho :)
Hiya everyone,
