By Dan ‘Beardy’ Woollard ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the SUCC, No one was stirring… Except Chav Mike, who was throwing up outside. If you are of a squeamish nature, look away before looking at the following picture. This was the weekend when we headed up to the Dart for one final weekend of river-running tomfoolery before heading home for the holidays, and, after arriving at the hut, unloading all the alcohol, and setting the heating to something called ‘Party mode’, the madness could begin. As I remember, (or don’t remember), Friday night was a normal process of playing Ring of Fire, which resulted in Chav Mike quickly ‘Dart’-ing outside (ha) and everyone else getting quite/very drunk as well. On a side note, I feel I should apologise again for my horrendous snoring that night, which I am told kept everyone awake. These things do happen though. On every trip that I go on anyway… I am afraid, SUCCers, that I cannot report on the first day of paddling, nor the second, as, due to the fun and games of the night before… I was not feeling at my best… However, legend speaks of a seal launch from the riverbank, in a Duo. Many images were captured of this proud moment, but one in particular provokes the imagination, as only a Maltese head is visible. The rest of the Duo, along with Chav Mike, the hero of this tale, was never seen again… until a few seconds later anyway. Hooray! Saturday night was much more fun and games, involving an excellent roast dinner, cooked mostly by Matt Kelly himself, with help from various minions. Then, after some very explicit Pictionary, (again, courtesy of Chav Mike), came the event everyone had been waiting for; Secret Santa! I do not recall every present that was given out… therefore I have decided to give the best recollection I can… in the form of a much loved Christmas song. On the first day of Christmas, Canoe Club gave to me… A sit on Eric Westenbrink’s knee. (deep breaths everyone) One electric keyboard, A bottle of Lambrini, Bird’s Custard Powder, A picture of Tom Parker, One battered sausage, Cheese, Chips, and gravy, One toy tractor, BRIGHT PINK GLOVES, One cuddly Santa, Three tiny condoms, Two Fairy Wings, One pointless Swede, AND A SIT ON ERIC WESTENBRINK’S KNEE. And that’s enough of that… Finally came the cake-decorating competition. All manners of topping were utilised here. Syrup, sprinkles, even jam! And then came the losing cake, topped with pickled onions, ketchup, Branston, tea, coffee, instant gravy, apple sauce, amongst other things. And whose brainchild was this? Well, Chav Mike’s of course. Having lost the competition, our team of four had to split the cake between us… pickled onions and all. I finished my piece, but I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it… and Chav Mike, once again, threw up. And that’s the end of my tale of SUCC Christmas antics! Until the next time I have to write an article anyway…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`#&".$;05$*"05/3$"&I#$601#$3021$+"#$,)6"+B$(01<+$&/2&;*$>0//02$2"&+$G$30.$ *04#+)4#*$G$3#-)3#$+0$30$*04#+")16$*)//;$>0,$>51Ba$ _b02$30$G$'102$2"#1$;05<,#$30)16$*04#+")16$*)//;.$[0-"Ra$ _9,U$S5#**Ra$ _[)6"+0Ba$ !"#$,#*+$0>$+"#$@&33/)16$2#1+$)4@,0=&=/;$*400+"/;$:#W@#,)#1-#*$2)+"$@02#,$*+&+)01$)1/#+*$&*)3#A$)1-/53)16$4;$ >),*+$+&*+#$0>$&$3#-#1+$2&+#,>&//$01$X0,-#$X&//*B$Q&-'=&,,02$2&*$*0$6003$G$2#1+$=&-'$>0,$*#-013*U$&13$*4&*"#3$ +"#$,0-'$)1$+"#$4)33/#B$9@)-$%&'#*$X51B$ +,-.-//)(0).%(1)(2)2.1-.,-314)3()35.-3.6%$).78(1-(9.:.#-;).<-8."##.3)"##<9. !"#$%&'()$%*+,%$-().'/%(%0#1#23$%4(1'522.%5($'/%6)'$#/'78#(9%1(:-(#;7< % !"#$%%#&'($)#*))+,')"%-#')+.(/000# # 000#&."#%*""%'#1*1#2'+3('#4)+5#"/'#6$-/'6#/*7#,+66')"#5+.%1#.)%'$7/#000# # # # 8$.%#7%$)1'3'1#"/'#,.33')"#6.,/#%+9'1#83'7*1')"#$)1#/*7#:+%*,-#+;#,+)7"$)"#<'7"')&3*)4*)(0# # </*%7"#=$""#>'%%-#.7'1#7+6'#7/+,4*)(#:/+"+(3$:/-#"+#3'9'$%#8$.%?7#7',3'"#"-3$))*,$%#"')1'),*'70# # @+5'9'3#:+77*&%-#"/'#6+7"#7/+,4*)(#$""$,47A#+;#"/'6#$%%#,$6'#*)#"/'#;+36#+;#:+'"3-B# # # # C#DEFF#7$;'"-#$))+.),'6')"#&-#F.3%-#2'+3(' # *7%#:-2)8(78%=()7#7;%(5238%)21.$> % !;#-+.#*)7*7"#+)#1+*)(#7*%%-#"/*)(7#%*4'#;+%%+5*)(#"/'#,%.&#"+#D,+"%$)1#;+3#$#5''4#+;#,$)+'#&$7'1#;.) # :%'$7'#3'6'6&'3#"/$"#3+,47#$3'#)+"#-+.3#;3*')10# # G/'-#5*%%#H.6:#+."#$"#-+.#$"#"/'#%'$7"#$::3+:3*$"'#+;#6+6')"7#$)1#5*%%#$""'6:"#"+#1'7"3+-#-+.3# 7:%'')0## # I+.#/$9'#&'')#5$3)'10# # # # WOOLACOMBE NEWQUAY!! !"##$%&'()$(*&(+$,-+(.&/&0000( (What Happened there?) 1-'&'("#(.&/&0000( ! ! !

Jacquelyn was the first to change this when she received a rather last minute email inviting her to La Seu d’Urgell in Spain to join the GB team at the Pre Worlds where they were holding a test event for women C1. The picture is during the races, and you might notice the glove on her left hand, she had taken the skin off four knuckles in practice and they were also badly bruised; the GB Page 2 September/October 2008 physio patched her up, one of our section International which had the same format and judges lent her a cycling glove to protect her Jacquelyn joined in her K1. hand and off she went. Little were we to dream she would walk away with a bronze medal. It was a trip of events as it wasn’t only the hand that got attention, a lorry ran in the back of the hire car, took out the rear window and we could no longer open the boot of the car. It was at this point gaffer tape had more uses that just patching slalom boats. Jacquelyn is pictured with the C2 pair and our Olympic C1 silver medallist Dave Florence, they all also got bronze at the Pre Worlds. Jonathan had a great time reaching the finals in both events. The Teen Cup was divided up into U17 and U15; Jonathan was the 2nd U17 winning a paddle and extremely nice home made Czech cake, another of the GB girls also So I had to alter my holidays after that and won a cake so we had no problems with agree to work part of August.

  • By Chris Crowhurst
    By Chris Crowhurst I doubt many people would disagree with the statement that the first roll you learn is probably the hardest. This past year I have had the pleasure of working with many novice paddlers who wanted to learn their first Greenland roll; each experienced different challenges. Through my experiences of teaching I have seen three distinct categories of obstacles that people tend to experience: 1. equipment; 2. physical fitness; and 3. mental fitness. Rather than dive into the mechanics of learning your Consider moving the foot pegs to force their legs to be first roll, this article highlights the obstacles that you can in constant contact with the kayak. Remember though remove or deal with before attempting to learn to roll, that when learning we all tend to use too much pressure thereby improving your probability of success. and end up bruising our legs. Make sure appropriate padding exists, or at least warn the paddler to expect Equipment bruising and pain if they don’t have it. At their first rolling training session most people show up enthusiastically with their boats and gear, eager Spraydecks to mimic those people they have seen rolling. Many It is fairly rare to be teaching a first roll to someone are ill-equipped and do not appreciate the additional wearing a tuilik (a traditional Greenland paddling jacket challenge their equipment can create for them to learn and spray deck, combined). More often than not, that elusive first roll. first-timers show up with a nylon spraydeck which has little to no stretch in it.
