Club Committee on 11 Sep 2008 01:26 am
NUSC in 2008/09!
Its the start of a brand new year and since most of us have doubtlessly forgotten most of what we learnt last year we may as well forget those worries and go sailing. So, welcome to all the freshers this year and welcome back to all of those familiar faces from previous ones. We hope to see you about both on the water and in the toon! We’ve got a load of stuff planned for the first few weeks of term so get involved!
What’s on!
- Fresher’s Barbecue
- Three-Legged-Pubcrawl
- Team Racing Trials!
- Swim test
Fresher’s Barbecue:
During Fresher’s week the sailing club organises a barbecue at South Shield’s Sailing Club to let you scope out the place and meet some new friends. This is your chance to come and eat some free food on the Tynemouth and perhaps have a few beverages whilst learning a bit more about what it is we do and who we are as a club. Meet outside the union on Sat, 27 Sep, at 10:30
Three-Legged-Pubcrawl:
That most infamous of events - the Three-Legged-Pubcrawl - is back. Join us and a new friend as we tour the pubs, clubs and bars of Newcastle. You’ll just have to make sure your partner doesn’t pick and fights with an drunk local whilst you’re still attached! Wed, 1 Oct, 20:00 – Thu, 2 Oct, 00:00
Team Racing Trials:
If you’ve got a bit of competitive spirit in you come along to our team racing trials - where we pick Newcastle Uni’s finest to compete in our team racing squads. For all returning members the trials are Wed, 1st Oct, 12:00 – 17:00
For all new members the racing trials are Sat, 4 Oct, 10:00 – 16:30 or Wed, 8th Oct, 12:00 – 17:00 if you miss the first ones.
NB - If you plan to come to the trials please first contact the captain, Emma Norris by email; emma.norris { a t } ncl.ac.uk
Swim Test:
Union policy and our insurance requires each member of the club to be able to swim to a reasonable degree of proficiency. We don’t need to know if you’re the next Michael Phelps but it’d be nice to know you won’t sink to the bottom of the Tyne (and trust us - you really don’t want to know what is on the bottom of the Tyne). Wednesday the 1st Oct, 15.30 -17.00 at City Pool.
If you didn’t make it to the swim test take this form to any local pool and ask the lifeguard to evaluate you:
