Club Canoes for Sale

gpt27 — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:17:28 +0000

Hi we are selling 2 of our current club canoes. They will be 2 that we have selected with the most wear although they are still in very reasonable condition for the price.
We have one 16 foot and one 14 foot canoe to sell. They are being offered at £275 to club members and as we have had a bit of interest then you need to email Paul Craven by 7th December 2011 stating which boat you are interested in. Paul will hold a draw on Thursday night following the close date at the pool to announce the lucky winners.

There are a few terms and conditions:

If you have not paid this years membership then you are not eligible to enter the draw.
You will have one week after the draw to pay the money in full and take the boat away.

Contact Paul quartermaster

The money will be put towards buying 2 more new canoes with slightly different characteristics.

Severn Bore – Sunday 20th March

gpt27 — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 20:21:52 +0000

Next Sunday there is a 4star Severn Bore, 0849 at Over Bridge, Gloucester. Does anyone fancy going to surf it. This is an advanced trip for people that want to surf. If you just want to come and watch then it’s one of natures’ amazing sites, well worth the early start to go and see it.

If you would like to go but aren’t sure if you are at the right stage, then ask one of the senior members of the club for their opinion.

We would need to meet at the Over Bridge at 0730ish, be on the water for 0745 and paddle down to a straight bit in the river where we should get the best chance to ride the wave for as long as possible. Timing is everything, and the wave waits for nobody. The wave could be 20mins early or 30mins late.

Directions.

At Junction 11 M5, head for Gloucester on the A40.

At the first round about turn right, still on the A40.

Over the next round about.

Next round about turn right for Maisemore/ Hartpury, A417.

On left there should be a lay by or grass verge to park on.

Please let Ben know Saturday afternoon/ evening what you are doing. There is hopefully a car full going from Worcester at the moment, but depending on who’s coming, that may change.
Contact details sent via text and email.

Club Emails

secretary — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 22:10:51 +0000

Our Club emailing lists have been getting a bit out of hand recently so we have decided to tidy up the lists. Over the next few days those who send out club emails will be updating the mailing lists so that only paid up club members will be receiving updates and notifications. The website is of course open to anyone who wishes to keep updated with the Club’s programme, trip reports and much more.

Ideas for Christmas and beyond.
