Sponsoring NSR 2009
Reviews
"A huge thanks again to you and your team for the best NSR yet. The atmosphere, general organisation and sheer volume of people was mind blowing. I look forward to supporting the event in 2009 - although I am starting to worry about how the hell Leeds plan to top this year's event!!!"
Darren McLean, PGL"I genuinely think this was one of the best kayak events I've been to in recent years. It had all the elements you could ask for - fun, mass participation at all levels and great organisation."
Paul Robertson, Dagger Europe"The whole event was all about exactly what a paddlesports event should be, having a shed load of fun on the water, cheering your mates on and getting stuck in and having a go. Great stuff!" Jason Smith, Editor, CKUK
If you're interested in getting involved in the biggest, funnest kayaking event ever, and we can't think why you wouldn't be; give us a ring or drop us a mail and we'll send you out a 2008 DVD.

PGL Travel Ltd is delighted to be able to sponsor NSR. The event is in keeping with our own core values and offers opportunities for students of all levels and abilities to enjoy time on the water developing, enhancing and displaying their paddling skills in a fun, supportive and relaxed environment. The Rodeo may start with several individual teams; however they all come together as one big paddling community. |

The last couple of years a few universities have got together and "organised" an informal Boater X over a few beers in the French Alps. The first year was pretty slack, the only prizes being some obscene ducks, a few beers and of course, glory! Everyone seemed to have fun, and the party afterwards was pretty epic.This year's plan. |
