Every year, Leeds University Canoe Club organaise the National Student Rodeo. Every year, it gets bigger, better and everyone says that it was the best one yet. This years wild west themed NSR was the biggest and best one yet. A massive “well done” to Adam and Sara and the rest of the team, who did an amazing job of co-ordinating the 500 odd people over the weekend.

I’ve just been sent this delightful video of me in the heats of the squirt competion. Thanks to the guys at Surrey Uni for filming and editing.

 

The party was superb, costumes were inspired, freestyle was impressive, facial hair was very much in style and the atmosphere was unbeatable. Thanks to all that helped make it happen. I look forward to next years, I don’t doubt that it will be the best one ever.
