Parking
Grass parking on the campsite will be available ONLY if the weather allows. If the campsite manager deems it too wet for grass parking, people will have to park at the NWSC car parks. These use ANPR cameras and you must pay to park there. More information can be found here.
The Canoe Polo Pitches have a small, dedicated car park for use on Saturday and Sunday. Each team is permitted a maximum of 2 vehicles. These spaces are NOT guaranteed. This car park may fill up quickly and you may have to park elsewhere if there is not space at the pitches. Serco has informed us that this car park may also have ANPR cameras by the event date. You can see more here.
Food & Drink
Serco will be providing a catering van from 8:30am-3pm on Saturday & Sunday at the Canoe Polo Pitches selling burgers, chips and hot and cold drinks.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no running water available at the Canoe Polo Pitches. Please ensure you bring plenty of drinking water. You can refill bottles at the campsite.
A Saturday evening meal will not be provided.
Social Media
You can follow updates on the BUCS Canoe Polo Facebook Page.
Live Scores will be available here.
Clothing
Clubs must ensure they bring enough kit for each of their teams. If they have both a Men’s and Women’s team, they must bring enough kit for both teams as it is possible that both teams may be playing at the same time.
Competitors must dress appropriately for the weather conditions. Keep in mind there is no indoor/covered areas available at the canoe polo pitches
Water Quality
Teams must be familiar with the NWSC water quality procedures. Information can be found here.
The Canoe Polo lake is separate from the rest of the NWSC water bodies, but this information can still be relevant at all alert levels.
