SUMMARY:Mon 7 Apr 2025 Pool Session (Polo Training)
DESCRIPTION:This will now be an extra polo training session\, since only a couple of people signed-up to the proposed general training session – apologies for those of you were looking forward to a last ‘rolling’ session before we go outside after Easter (for whom we’ve issued a refund). On the other hand\, it will give our polo players more time to practise for their final Welsh 4s appearance on the 20th… \n\n\n\nTickets available now in the usual way… \n\n\n\nAlready paid: Fleur\, Harrison\, Huw\, Logan\, Mel\, Nat\, Stef\, Steve

SUMMARY:Sun 13 Apr 2025 River Trip
DESCRIPTION:This will be a trip for all-comers in any craft (as long as you can paddle far enough in a reasonably straight line!!); the venue will depend on who wants to come but is most likely to be a stretch of the Wye somewhere between Glasbury and Monmouth; likely meeting 9.30am and finishing around 3pm (bring lunch!). Expressions of interest (by e-mail or RSVP button) by 5pm Wed 9 April\, please\, after which Steve will send more details. Numbers will be limited (also depending on whether other coaches / leaders are also coming!) – if it says it’s sold out\, do drop us an e-mail just-in-case… \n\n\n\nWatch this space for more trips – there’ll be something happening the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month (except 25 May\, since that’s bank holiday weekend and we now have a Tryweryn trip the weekend after).

SUMMARY:Mon 28 Apr 2025 Summer Training - Social Paddle\, Polo Skills & Personal Coaching
DESCRIPTION:Apologies for the short notice\, but please ‘get tickets’ (or e-mail Steve with expressions of interest) ASAP\, he’ll aim to decide on Wednesday evening what we can actually offer next Monday. Thanks! \n\n\n\nFor our first Monday evening outdoor foray on the river at Brecon Promenade after Easter we hope to offer: \n\n\n\n\n‘social paddling’  – come along and join us for a gentle paddle\, probably to the rapids and back;\n\n\n\nskills training for our polo squad (if enough of them want to come) – boat handling\, fitness and ball skills (and maybe some game-play!); and\n\n\n\npersonal coaching (very limited numbers\, depending on coach availability\, will run alongside the social paddle).\n\n\n\n\nDetails for subsequent weeks to follow in due course… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\nBrecon Promenade – meet by the Club’s store adjacent to the toilet block in the ‘upper’ car park (https://what3words.com/tigers.loitering.bandage) – NOT in the car park next to the river / boathouse (although some of us might end up operating from there). \n\n\n\nTimes\n\n\n\nMeet at 6.30pm\, ready in your paddling clothes. We want to have everyone kitted-up and getting on the water by 7pm\, so late arrival has quite a disruptive effect! \n\n\n\nWe’ll aim to be getting off the water around 8.30pm\, before it gets dark. \n\n\n\nParents or other adults must be available at the start and end of the session to help under-18s with kit and to carry boats; and throughout the session in case they need to get off the water early. \n\n\n\nFacilities\n\n\n\nThere are no indoor changing facilities on site\, so it’s a case of changing in the car park. Disabled (and maybe other) toilet/s should be open but cost 20p to get in. \n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n\nNo cost for social paddle or polo skills if you bring your own boat & kit (although donations welcomed to help us cover costs).\n\n\n\n£5 to hire club kayak & kit for social paddle or polo skills (canoes & SUPs may also be available for some sessions at additional cost).\n\n\n\n£10 for personal coaching – to be confirmed once we know availability (same cost for own or hired kit).\n\n\n\nAll existing Club members must also have up-to-date membership of both the Club and Paddle Cymru and have signed-up to our Club Code of Conduct – we’ll send separate reminders for those of you who need these! Any new members will need to join formally after their first three sessions.\n\n\n\n\nEquipment and Clothing\n\n\n\nDon’t forget a towel and complete change of clothes for the end of the session\, in case you do fall in!! \n\n\n\nWe’ll provide boats\, paddles\, buoyancy aids\, helmets and spray-decks for those who need them – but if you have your own\, please bring them along \n\n\n\nAlthough deliberate immersion isn’t always part of the plan (and even when it is\, it’s usually towards the end of the session) there’s always a chance of accidental capsize\, so kit should take account of this (and the general weather conditions). \n\n\n\nAt the very least\, wear clothing layers of the type you might wear to go walking – ideally synthetic materials that stay warm and don’t get too heavy when wet. Most people wear swimwear underneath. And a waterproof jacket (to keep off the rain and wind\, rather than keep you dry if you capsize!) – we do have a limited number of canoeing cagoules\, but not enough of the right sizes for everyone. \n\n\n\nFootwear that you don’t mind getting wet\, not too large (chunky trainers don’t fit well in kayaks; neoprene wet-shoes are ideal; sandals or crocs no good as they fall off!). \n\n\n\nIf you want to be assured of staying warmer if you fall in\, a wetsuit is the next step. Ones made specifically for paddling are called Long Johns (or Long Janes) and don’t have sleeves\, for maximum mobility (worn with e.g. rash vest beneath and/or fleece above). But a standard surfing-type ‘full’ wetsuit is also fine as a starter. Again\, we do have a very limited number of wetsuits\, which you’re welcome to check-out on the first evening in case we have one that fits you…
