DEAR EVERYONE!
Thankyou for taking the time to open this e-mail which has come to you from the inaugural committee of the Oxford Surf Club! We've got your address either cos you signed up or one of mates did for you! Sorry this has taken such a long time to get to you, but we were rather overwhelmed by the response at freshers fair - we got over 400 people signing up - which for an inaugural society is pretty unheard of. Which is nice. So congratulations, you're part of the newest and most vibrant club on the Oxford scene.
Well, in this first e-mail there's quite a lot to tell you, so here goes!
Upcoming events!
Thursday of week 2, there's a cocktail party. Yes, that's right, we will be heading of to the bridge (ne gallery) for a few drinks, just to get know everyone. There will be a load of other sports teams and clubs down there so
it should be great fun! E-mail oxfordsurf@hotmail.com if you want tickets.
Upcoming Trips!
Yes, that's right, we've already got a trip planned (whoever said that surfers were disorganised?). And it's going to be a great start to your surfing career!
First things first! You do NOT have to be able to surf on this trip! You do NOT have to own your own board! OR wetsuit! OR insurance. Yep, that's right, we're taking you away with no strings! Here's the plan!(But if you do, your also very welcome - we can cater for all levels)
Friday 26th October: Depart Oxford in minibuses heading for the surf capital of England - NEWQUAY! In the evening we will settle into our HOTEL (yes - a hotel - overlooking the sea - called 'The Edwardian' actually) which is within walking distance of two - ahem - great clubs. Well, they're a lot better than Park End anyway! But of course, you can just relax at the hotel bar, or at the Newquay Arms, a very popular pub.
Saturday Morning: Get up and have breakfast! Not sure what time, but it won't be at the crack of dawn - don't worry! Then its off to the surf school, (a quick walk away). Jump intowetsuits - full winter wetsuits with gloves and boots, so no getting cold for us!) provided by the school, hop on the boards (also provided by the school and let the instructors start helping you to surf!
In the afternoon you get time to practice your newly honed skills, under the watchful eye of our own lifeguards, so no worries there.
Then, in the evening, it's your night. Suggestions on a postcardplease. We can go out clubbing, chilling, and generally having a bit of a laugh.
Sunday morning: Yes, it's time to get up and surf again! Breakfast followed by more tuition, and then in the afternoon more time to practice your skills before we head back to Oxford and the realities of work - hey some of us are finalists - so we don't want to hear any complaints about!
So how much for this beaut (to get in a bit Oz language) of a trip!
£75
Which, for what you're getting, Minibus trips, accomodation includingbreakfast, surfing lessons, lifeguarding, boards, wetsuit hire, is not bad at all. We don't work on a profit so it is the cheapest we can make it! All you have to do is get a bit of cash for an evening meal and clubbing!
Oh, and did I mention that we've got a camera crew coming down as well - which should make things very interesting for the two of you they want to
focus on - e-mail us if you think you're up to the job!
OK, this is the only down side. We can only take around 30 people. We had over 400 people put their names down. It doesn't take much to figure that spaces are pretty limited. Allocation will be on a first come first served (We're really sorry about this) basis, but, for our first trip,it's kinda all we can manage!
The best thing would be to e-mail "oxfordsurf@hotmail.com" asap! Check your diaries, clear a space, and come for what should be a great break in Newquay!
That's about it so far, so until we hear from you, Have a great time.
Go ride a few!
