Places are limited to 6 folk per level 3 coach (I think 2 of us can make it so up to 12 folk), plus anyone with 3 star or a Nene user card. Please let Louise know ASAP if you are interested. The Nene is only open Sundays. Meet 1pm at hut.

OCKFEST! – OCK Boatercross and Wavehopper Race – Sun 11th Sept
2pm at the club hut Wilsham Rd. to register, collect bibs, load and transport boats by car to the start at the Ock Meadow
Paddlers will be set off in pairs to paddle down the Ock, over the slidey Weir, to join the Thames and back to the club (15-20 minutes) Runs will be timed. This is a fun event that is open to anyone wishing to enter. All you need to be able to do is paddle in a straight line. If you want to race a Wavehopper you will need to have paddled one before at least once and book one before with me, as we only have a limited number of Wavehoppers. There will be a an opportunity for anyone who would like to try out a Wavehopper on the previous Thursday evening (8th) if you have never tried one before. Otherwise use a short boat in the Boatercross.
As usual we hope there will be a contingent from Riverside, Kingfisher and possibly others taking part. We may even have some prizes that cost more than 99p courtesy of CanoeKayak UK.!! The event will be followed by a BRING YOUR OWN Food Barbeque. We provide the charcoal, some drink, cups, paper plates. You provide everything else.
