World Student Games, read on if you're interested, i'll leave this one in your hands...

Please could you pass this onto your members in the canoe club, as it is an opportunity I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on.

Dear All,

On the 7th to the 10th of September 2006, the 5th World Student Games for Wild Water will be taking place in Krakow, Poland (the last one being 4 years ago). There are two disciplines that are being held there, the one I am here to inform you about is Wild Water Racing.

We hope to be taking out a team of students to represent GB universities.

This is where the opportunity is ... if you have an urge, or even just an incling to represent your country and never thought it would be possible (I certainly didn't until last year), want to try something new, and are willing to put the time and effort in to getting there, then read on....

Wild water racing is racing on moving water (white water), using 4.5m long boats and navigating your way down rapids from top to bottom in the shortest most efficient time possible. Don't worry if you don't have much experience on moving water, we hope to help you along the way, and it will be an experience not to miss as well as an opportunity not to be thrown away lightly. So why not have a try.

Remember anything is possible and 9 months is a long time.

If you are interested, have any questions then email me on studentswwr@TARSC.net and I hope to hear from you soon.
