where we staying? camping?

Everyone -

Seens as they have failed to organise a party this year, we are stuck with a dance destination!

Just had an email from CLaire at Birmingham uni, and that lot are going to grab a cab and go for a big night out in Nottingham! they have invited us to do the same (and spread the word) I'm WELL up for that - its supposed to be a pretty good night out, and im sure with loads of paddlers it will be.

We can pre- drink at the campsite etc, and then go party it up in town

What do people think?

Hi does anyone have a space in their tent for me?? I have a 2 person Quechua pop up tent but they're not very reliable if it rains and I'd quite like someone to share with to keep a bit warmer!

Also, I'm quite worried about getting sick after paddling at HPP as seems to happen to everyone that paddles there for the first time- has anyone got any tips for avoiding it or is it just something you have to go through?

Any questions, please email/look at the forum cos someone else might have asked already or speak to James at the pool.

P.S.

WARNING

The water at HPP is less clean than it might be.  I'd recommend some pre-slalom yogurt eating (or prebiotics) or you could go with a age old coke drinking method to kill off everything in your gut!

This valentines theme sucks - any chance of us doing hawain? (read putting board shorts and flowers on top of VERY warm clothes)

Another tactic to stop getting “Trent Trotts” is to eat lettuce.

A couple of members of the surf club prooved that drinking a shot of Rum after every surf session stopped a similar problem.

What a weekend!

Massive Thanks to James and Mary for organising it. ALso to Sophie and Mary for doing all the driving and for lloyd staying with Yarwood when the van broke down.

Official photos are online here: http://www.stillsport.com/2010…..noeslalom/

FInn and Squirel also took photos which I look forward to seeing.

Results are not up online yet.

Van was emptied at 8am this morning into sheds. Go collect your stuff those were not there to unload.

Emily - your watch is on the light in public sheds.
