Our canoe club’s polo sessions restart on Wednesday January 5 2022.
• The sessions run after our general session from 8.45 until 10-00pm. All paddlers from novice to “hot shot” players are welcome.
• The Club has a selection of plastic polo boats, paddles, spray decks, BAs and helmet for members to use.
• Due to limitation of time, we generally play six 12-minute games.
• For up to 15 players we play 3 teams and 16-20 it is 4 Teams.
• Due to the small size of the pool we can only accommodate 20 players, so again please arrive by 8-15pm.
• Cost for each pool session is currently £9 and we take contactless payments at the end.
• Usually most of us go to the pub afterwards

Very best of luck in Div 1 Penguins – there are some mighty Sharks in that league! More details are available from James Putterill.
Bristol Pitbulls Div 3 National
The Pitbulls had a little bit of a slow start to the new season 2017/18 with one win and 4 losses. However, two games were very narrow losses and this was a new team with great efforts from Sam and “young” Rob. Next time we will be stronger.
