If you are:

Then you can drive a minibus for the canoe or polo club.

If you could drive a minibus please do so! The club wouldn't work without you guys and it's a good way of increasing your chances of getting on trips.

Hi Guys!

Sports fair is on this Tuesday (5th) from 9am-4pm.

If you could be around in the sports centre to encourage freshers to join that'd be great, even if it's just for half an hour.

Cheers,

Mofo
