Most Improved! w00t!

At the Christmas party I was shocked to receive the "Most Improved Paddler Award" Check out my cool prize in the picture...

I'm still really enjoying kayaking with the university club. I'm heading off to north wales with the club later today and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone in the club for making things so fun!

Also a HUGE thank you to my Fiancee, Daisy. Without her I would have given up on kayaking after my first try, I was TERRIBLE really tippy, scared of the water and really sensitive to even the smallest riffle! I'm a bit better now, I can roll on both sides (in a pool...) and can do a few more funky things. I'm looking forward to going for either my 2 or 3 Star at some point in the new year. Until then, Another big thank you to everyone!

Folk Night at the Bay

It turns out that every Tuesday there is a folk night at The Bay (Y Bay, Seafront Aberystwyth)

I was at the very cool folk night, chilling out and listening to people playing out their favourite songs when I took this photo, I don't often do moody stuff but I think it works pretty well :-)

Kayaking is not a crime! Please help the WCA petition the Welsh Assembly

The Welsh Canoeing Association (WCA) are currently lobbying the Welsh
Assembly to introduce legislation which will confirm free access to
the rivers of Wales. The power to introduce such legislation was
transferred from Westminster to Cardiff last July, and we are
currently in a position where Assembly members are seriously looking
at the WCA proposals. If passed, canoeists will enjoy much the same
rights on the rivers in Wales as currently exist in Scotland, and the
pressure will greatly increase on Westminster to follow suit
for English rivers. Getting this legislation passed in Wales
therefore should be a priority for paddlers everywhere.

So how can you help?

Firstly, sign the WCA's petition at
http://petitionthem.com/default.asp?sect=detail&pet=2856. It doesn't
matter whether you live or indeed paddle in Wales or not. It will
take about 30 seconds to complete.

Secondly, forward this email to other canoeists.

Thirdly, talk to non-paddling friends and relatives and ask them to
sign the petition.

The Government of Wales Act (2006) requires the Assembly to act on
petitions received if an issue falls within their powers, so this
petition can make a difference if we get enough people to sign. It
worked in Scotland with the Land Reform Act, there is no reason it
can't work in Wales.

Many thanks
