A group of club members are arranging a visit to the Tees Barrage International White Water Course this coming Wednesday. Please feel free to come along if you fancy a bit of a challenging paddle. Note that this is NOT suitable for beginner paddlers. Long course opens at 4pm – hopefully see some of you there.
Cheers
Tony
A reminder that the clubs pool sessions start again on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th Sept.
Pontefract
Time: Thursdays, 8:15pm to 9:30pm (please note new start time and an additional 15 minutes to the session)
Batley
Time: Fridays, 7:00pm to 8:30pm
Please note new prices to cover increased pool hire cost: Members £5, Non-members £6
Both pool sessions are an ideal opportunity to practice your skills or learn to kayak in clean, warm water.
Next club session is Friday 31st August, 6:00pm, at Sowerby Bridge slalom course. Meet up point is here. For sat nav, HX6 2LN will get you very near.
Sowerby Bridge has some good grade 2 pool/drop rapids to practice on and good for surfing. Bring money as we will end up in the Toby Carvery pub/beer garden after paddling.
If anyone requires equipment please let Andy Walker know by email or text/mobile 07748 111819. Please ensure that you wear suitable clothing and footwear for kayaking in – no wellies, no bike helmets etc. An old pair of trainers is good – barefoot or socks will not be permitted. If you are unsure, drop us an email.
Adrian has put together this short video featuring photos from the clubs events so far over 2012.

A Sowerby Bridge meet up is planned for Friday 17th August, 6:30pm. Usual place for parking (Sat nav, HX6 2LN).
Unfortunately on this occasion you will need to bring your own boats/gear as I have no way to get and transport additional kit from the container and Andy will have only just got home from his holiday.
Hopefully we’ll see some of you there though 🙂
Cheers,
Tony
