[LCC-Club] Leeds Canoe Club Weekly Update 14/05/2009

Thu May 14 10:59:02 BST 2009

Hi All,

Sunday (17th May):

Intermediate trip. Washburn release - fast Grade III dam release nr Otley. Fee to paddle - usually ~£8.  Running 9.00 - 5.00. Meet at clubhouse at 9.00 a.m. if you need boats/kit, otherwise see you there. [n.b. the Alpkit Plastic Fantastic weekend event that was on the Washburn calendar has been cancelled - hence this extra Sunday release]

Also this weekend: Bradford and Bingley Canoe Club Wagon Lane slalom http://www.bradbingcc.org.uk/

Mick and the usually suspects will be camping - anyone is welcome to join them, especially beginners. Or you can just go for the day - Saturday or Sunday, Sunday is the Topo Duo event which should be entertaining! Postcode for satnavs BD16 1LT. - contact Mick for more details  [michael at michaelliversidge.wanadoo.co.uk]

Coming up:

Wednesday 27th May  Washburn cruise - Children's Day. 12.00 - 8.00. Same as a normal cruise - only children paddle for free.  Esther from GreenStar has asked if we can provide any volunteers to help with barbeque etc. If anyone is available to help on that Wednesday, let me know and I'll put you in contact.

Friday May 22nd - Monday May 25th

Camping weekend to North Wales - probably staying at Ty Isaf campsite nr Bala.http://www.tyisafbala.co.uk/tyisaf_site_page_map.html 

Gives us the option of the Tryweryn and/or a day trip to the coast (Abersoch) kayak surfing if the surf is up.

Suitable for all abilities - we can take beginners on the Lower Tryweryn (Grade II+), intermediates and advanced can do the Upper.

(I'm assuming there will be a release over the Bank Holiday - if not we'll think of something else).

Anyone interested contact me asap so I can give the campsite some idea of numbers (we've got about 10 going so far).

Monday June 8th  Next Committee Meeting. 7.30 p.m. at Vesper Gate

----------------

Pool sessions on Thursdays 

Only people with bands are allowed to paddle. We are limited to the number of boats we can have in the pool (a stipulation by the leisure centre), 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.

If you bring your own boat it must be CLEAN (inside as well as out - no mud, sand, dead leaves etc.), and have padding front and back. Secure padding please - not half-hearted bits of sticky tape that come off as soon as the boat hits the water!

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
