Paddlesnappers has decided to take a break over Ramadan, not having had an off-season in ages. We will paddle as usual till the regatta on Saturday 8 September, and then return again only on Saturday 13 October.
As Martin pointed out in correspondence, when we come back it will be warmer, lighter later in the evenings, and we will all have had time to recover from our various injuries, maladies and jadedness.
Potential novices: We will start the new season nice and gently as we begin a four month ramp-up to the big regatta in February, so October 13 will be a good time to come try it out.
Anyone desperate for a paddle in the interim, let me know, and we can maybe take that ten-man boat out for a spin sometime. Otherwise, relax, enjoy yourselves, eat pies and re-appear enthusiastic in mid-October.
