Nomad A The clubs top players started the new season with renewed vigour, their aim to put last season’s missed opportunities behind them.

The current team has been together for around five years; in that time everyone has progressed both in terms of fitness, agility, skills and guile. The 2012-2013 season needed to when everyone delivered, they did. April 28th saw Nomad A playing their last five games at the clubs home facility in the…
Dear all, You may have noticed the nights are drawing in! After the clocks change at the end of the month Monday night sessions will stop until the clocks change again in the spring. Sunday and Wednesday sessions will continue as usual. Wednesday sessions will be fitness and boat skills training on the canal. Several of the teams are looking for good results this season and this will only be possible if people put the effort into training over the next few months. There will be a session for the next two mondays but not on the 29th of October. The Aquadrome gates are closed at 6pm now so please try to get to training on time if you can. Hope to see you all down at training soon, Katherine
