Round 3 - Nottingham

06:09:08

It might be back to school for some and back to work for those paddlers who have been traveling around the freestyle scene in Europe for the summer but next weekend see’s the first The Festival of Freestyle take place at Nottingham.
Alongside the normal paddling program there will be a Paddling Car-Boot Sale, Desperate Measures Gear Shop, Coaching Clinics and a massive end of summer party. The paddling should be stepped a notch with several international paddlers coming over to try and take their share of the £1500 Alpkit Expert Competition prize fund. The weekend kicks off on Friday at the Rugby club with the Money Shot Video Competition. If you wish to enter a film please bring it with on a DVD, harddisc, or CD. Entry is 50p with the winning film walking away with pot.
We’re really going to have to pack it in on Saturday so the earlier you could register the better. We are now offering a Boto-X competition as well.
The car-boot sale is open to anyone wanting to sell off unwanted outdoor equipment. The cost of a pitch will be £5.00 and you will also receive a discount voucher from Desperate Measures enticing you to spend your takings. (The sale of anything other than outdoor equipment is strictly prohibited and anyone caught will be ask to leave)
Coaching Clinics are free and open to anyone. They will take place on Saturday afternoon between 2.00 & 5.00pm. Places will offered on a first come, first basis and can be signed up for on Saturday morning. A full list of clinic available are available on the webiste, http://www.festivaloffreestyle.com
. Saturdays Nights party will take place at the Rugby Club after the floodlit finals. Fancy dress will be the classic Robin Hood theme. Pizza’s from Mr Pizza will be served through the evening.
The campsite at HPP is open all weekend, for some reason if you have a van make sure you bring a tent as it is cheaper to camp than stay in van (Even if your van is parked next to your tent)!!!!!!
Hope to see you there,
Jim.
