As those of you who have been down the club recently should be aware, the club is planning to go paddling in Slovenia at the end of May - beginning of June.  I have put the info sheet up at the bottom of the Programme webpage - www.cheltenhamcanoeclub.co.uk/index.php

There will be a meeting at Dowtys on Thursday 25th February, at 21:30.

Any deposits not paid by this point will need to be paid at the meeting to secure a place.

Call Rich Berry for more details.... or post on the forum.

Winter pool sessions start back this week. Directions to Tewkesbury pool can be found under Club Info. The sessions start at 1900 and finish at 2030. To ensure a prompt start get to the pool for about 1845 so that you can change before the prevous group take over the changing rooms.

Steve Slater is kind enough to take up 6 or so boats each week for those that dont have their own. However, if it is possible for those who need a boat to pick one up from the club shed before the session, please do so. Give Steve a call to arrange a time (number in the Newsletter), this will lessen the burden on him.

Remeber - those with their own boats must ensure that they are clean before they go in the pool. No sand, mud, loose screws or peeling stickers please.

Coaches/Lifeguards - we are short of volunteers to help run the sessions. Anyone who is willing can coach, you dont neet to be BCU qualified. Guaranteed that you will know something that others don't and any knowledge transfer is good for all. To be a lifeguard you either need to be an Old Level 2 or New Level 1 coach with a valid first aid certificate. Again, if you are willing to help out please get in touch with Steve.

If you need further information drop me an email (link in Club Info).
