| Touring Group - Guildford to Godalming |
27 April 2007 |
| |
The second tour of the season will soon be upon us. This time we will be exploring river Wey as it passes Guildford and meanders its way through beautiful Surrey countryside to the picturesque town, Godalming. We will meet at RCC at 8.30 and return by about 5.30pm. As usual, we will pool transport and make a small charge, usually £5-£10, towards the cost of petrol, parking etc. Further information on the trip will be circulated nearer the time.
Just to remind you, the tour group aims to explore new stretches of water, and different paddling challenges, with picnics, pub lunches, and cream teas. The group is open to everyone, but if you are new to the club you may want to check with Peter Barnes that the paddle won’t be too challenging.
If you would like to find out more about the tour group in general and this trip in particular, please speak to Jim Mullany, Peter Barnes, Marie-Do, Sarah Jefferson or Steve Ogin at the club.
If you would like to register for this trip please email Jim Mullany as soon as possible. If the tour is oversubscribed places are allocated on a first come first served basis. |

| Paddling Opportunities in May |
27 April 2007 |

The racing season is in full swing. Not to be missed are the races on the Basingstoke Canal on 6 May and Reading on 27th May. You don’t have to be a paddling super-hero to have a great deal of fun and enhance RCCs reputation for being one of the best racing clubs in the country. If you haven’t raced before, speak to Daan du Toit, Marathon Secretary, Peter Barnes or one of the other coaches, who will tell you all you need to know.
Also to look forward to in May, Peter is planning a trip on the tidal Thames, either from Richmond to Putney or from Putney to Tower Bridge. This is one of the best paddles in South East England, and an annual favourite. It will be held on Sunday 20th May. Further information from Peter Barnes.
For those planning to take part in the “Big Birthday Paddle” along the length of the Thames (18 – 24 June) these are invaluable opportunities to build up the stamina and endurance. |
