Hi All,

Sunday (23rd November)    Beginner's trip.   Meet at clubhouse in Kirkstall for 8.00 a.m. (early start because Kirkstall Road will be closed later on for the Abbey Dash).

If you have not been before, the clubhouse is in the grounds of the Rugby Academy, next to Morrisson's supermarket. Park in the Rugby Academy carpark.

Forecast is for COLD so you need a wetsuit, and some thermal layers over the top, and a windproof cagoule or similar.  And bring some food and drink you can carry in the boat.

Staying at Ambleside Youth Hostel on the Friday and Saturday night. It costs £24.50 per night including breakfast.   There's a few twin rooms available so let Hannah know if you'd like one. The hostel also wants to know if anyone wants to eat in their restaurant in the evening so let her know if you do and if you have any food allergies. 

 

For those of you that haven't been before, the paddling should be suitable for improvers/intermediates, i.e. people who are comfortable paddling grade 3 water, but everyone is welcome to join us for the evenings and families can come too. 

 

If you'd like to come please let Hannah know and send her a cheque asap, payable to Leeds Canoe Club.  Her address is 14 Chestnut Avenue, Cross Gates, Leeds LS15 8ED. 

 

If you've got any questions give Hannah a call on 07904 124 267.

TUESDAY/THURSDAY EVENING RIVER SESSIONS HAVE NOW FINISHED FOR THE YEAR

 

Pool sessions on Thursdays as usual.

 

n.b. Only people with bands are allowed to paddle. We are limited to the number of boats we can have in the pool, so if you come late you probably won't get a boat. Please check with me or the lifeguard BEFORE you get changed to see if there is any space available. If there isn't space, you can try to persuade a mate who has a band to share their boat, but the negotiations are down to you.

 

We've been asked by the swimming team who are in the pool before us that we don't go out on the pool side until they are finished.  Please stay in the changing rooms until they start to pack up.

 

Also - if you want to join in with the public swim after our pool session - you need to pay in advance at reception.

 

Cheers,

 

Steve
