23-25 August - Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham come for the DAY . A SESSION OR JUST A BEER !

It's back! After a massively successful inaugural year, the Nottingham gathering's back.

Running on August Bank Holiday at Holme Pierrepont, it's as suited to enthusiastic first-timers as it is to seasoned subsurface experts. Features and attractions include:

'Come and try it' fleet

We'll have all the toys available to take for a sink, ranging from retro classics like Bigfoots and Shreds to brand-new-this-season vessels like the Wisper and Jekyll - all as free demo boats.

Squirt clinics

We'll be running workshops with some of the sport's top coaches and paddlers, including CURRENT WORLD CHAMPION + GB squirt team coach BEN WHITE (.com).
EUROPEAN MEDALIST + organiser extraordinaire PETE CORNES. WORLD CHAMP RUNNER UP EMMA RUNCIMAN

Sessions will be flexible enough to stretch your skills, whatever your standard!

KING OF THE CONCRETE

The international mystery competition's back! Now in its second year, this pure downtime format tests paddlers' skills and lungs to the limits. Hoping for a better show from the hand-paddlers this year.

JUST STARTING OUT ?

This year we'll also run a side-by-side 'QUICK DUNK' contest for paddlers who are getting to grips with mystery moves.

VINDALOO SQUIRT

A chance to catch up with everyone else over a relaxed korma, we'll arrange a visit to a local Indian restaurant for Saturday night for a tasty, filling banquet.

SQUIRT FEST TEE SHIRTS

Designs are being finalised as I type, details by the weekend
