Subject: The Regional night of the year ACM

 
Tell 'yer mates. Thank you.

 Dear Yorkshire 
Regional Paddler and Coach, 
 
     You are invited to the 
regions ACM at Ossett Cricket Club on Tuesday 27th Oct for a full and 
interesting evening. 
 
This year we are inviting 
all the regions members and combining the Regional 
Development Team and the Regional Coaching Team to 
have a joint ACM. Come and find out what's happening.
 
    
                Top of the Bill this year is fascinating.
In 1975 an intrepid team 
set off to paddle 500 miles to Northcape in the far flung region of 
the artic circle at the very top of Norway. Having influenced the design of the 
kayak, the legendary Nordkapp was born. This was the first Sea Kayak to have dry 
hatches to aid the provision of gear. One of these influential and necky 
paddlers was a Yorkshire paddler called Colin Litten (Bradford & 
Bingley CC). 
This summer as part of a 
repeat expedition, 5 paddlers all in Nordkapp's  repeated the same trip. 
Two of the 2009 expedition were Colins 2 sons Josh & Sam. One of them 
paddled in his Dad's original Nordkapp! 
       So, 34 years on same boat, same 
journey and same family name! 
 
Using slides from the 
original expedition, with new ones taken this summer and video footage, the Team 
members will explain how this iconic trip changed sea kayaking as we know it 
today. Was it any easier with all our modern materials? Well if I begin by 
saying its not even as easy to sail across the North sea as it was in 1975, 
you will begin to get the message. 
 
So come and find out 
who's who and what's what and if you are getting enough!
 
West Yorkshire Canoe 
Club are again our hosts and providing the legendary Horbury Cow pie n' peas. So 
come and join the fun. Full bar facilities. Full agenda available from your 
regional secretary Jon Dakeyne at jdakeyne at aol.com 
 
Starts at 7.15 in 
the Cricket Club, Queens Terrace, Ossett WF5 8AP .
 
Dick
