All,

Following 3 consecutive "Fails" in the sports centre's water quality testing, access to the pool has been temporarily suspended for all users. 

The Canoe / Canoe Polo club(s) have been suggested as the culprits, with inadequate cleaning of boats before pool use being cited as the cause. Therefore, for the Canoe and Canoe Polo clubs this suspension is Until Further Notice.

While this is especially frustrating with the BUSAs coming up at the end of next week, unfortunately there seems to be little we can do to prove our innocence. However, given the importance of the BUSAs in the Canoe Polo calendar, exceptional circumstances have been discussed and temporary changes to policies have allowed us access to the lake behind Rootes until the weekend of the BUSAs. At the moment this will only be for fitness training because of the lack of goals, but we are working with the Sports Centre on ways of rigging something up for use in the next two weeks.

All Canoe Polo sessions will be at the earlier time of 18:00 to 20:00 to allow for daylight. Please awate further details on updated Canoe session times. Make sure you are down by the Rootes lake changed and ready to paddle as close to 6pm as possible for Canoe Polo - we do not want to let this affect our BUSA chances any more than it has to!

Apologies for the extreme nature of these arrangements, and hope to see you there at 18:00.

Canoe and Canoe Polo Execs

AvatarI would have been pretty happy with the sudden turn-around on the university's attitude towards lake use. Lakeside lakes, maybe, but Rootes? With all those ducks and geese and nice plants? Never.

Incidentally, had we been goal-less, I have just made a buoy with an upright target pole with red and white stripes marking goal face height for use on the Leam. Just needs ballast and testing now.

Thursday, Le Web? Anyone else for that matter.

AvatarYes, Yes, I messed it up with the photo... and maybe I could have chosen a less unlikely lake too. Either way, I was attempting to "fresher-bait", rather than catch out you lot. It would have to be extremely well-executed tomfoolery to get past the defences of you three!

AvatarFrodo frodo frodo,

There is no such thing as a fail on the pool tests only results that appear odd are reported to the supervisor who then assesses the situation and takes further action as he/she feels is needed.

When will you learn about the Normal Operating Procedure for the pool!!

AvatarTv is referring to Frodo's avatar, which he foolishly forgot to change into the abominable snowman.
