Scotland Tour 2016

Posted 9y 5mth ago by Some Old Git

Legeneds speak of a tour, a Scoland tour. A tour that'll take place Sunday 20th to Monday the 28th of March (week 10/11/12). A tour costing between £200 and £250, including accomodation, transport, kit, a group meal and more!  A tour so formiddable, we ask that you've been on a club trip beforehand (theres three happening this term if you havn't had the chance yet, details to follow). A tour that sprawls over two bunkhouses, first near Nethy Bridge, then on to Fort William. Also theres usually loads of kayaking and drinking (including kegs of Ale at the first bunkhouse!) and stuff and it's lots of fun.

This really is a once in a year oppurtunity, and you'll get the chance to paddle some of Scotlands most popular rivers, so save the dates, start budgeting, get excited, go on trips this term, and listen out for the sign ups early February. Let me know if you've any questions.

I hope you've all had nice breaks, see you soon!

Polo Leam Trip (week 10)

Once again we will be heading down to the Leam for a couple of hours of hard core paddling.
This session we'll be slightly different as we've got the Christmas Meal that evening.

We plan to be back on campus for 5.30 latest, however after putting kit away there wont be much time to make yourselves pretty for the Social.
If you think you'll need for time I suggest you butter up someone in Leam, and stay in Leam after the session and get ready at their house.   

When- 1.00pm Wednesday 9th November

Where- Meet at the sports centre

Why?- Work Hard = Play Hard


Kit list
  • Swim wear
  • Towel
  • Water
  • Water shoes (flipflops, crocs etc)
  • Coat
  • Thermal layers if you have them

We will (fingers crossed) have cags for you to borrow.
The trip will cost you £3.70 (return bus ticket to Leam)

Hello all,

Profoundest apologies but due to circumstances beyond my control (the Sports Centre have closed the pool due to "maintenance issues") we unfortunately have to cancel tonights pool session.

Hopefully it will all be fixed by Wednesday! (or Tuesday for those polo-minded folks :p)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
Sam
