Thats right! Poi in the Punt will happen again this year on the earlier date of Saturday 31st May. I have tried to find a date which doesn't clash with anything (much) else to try to get maximum participation and also hopefully a date which will be fixed (i.e. last saturday in May) for the forseeable future.
The day will include a punt trip (funny boat with big stick for those who dont know- see the vid below) on the river cam involving much sillyness and possibly some falling in (yes thats me falling over in the vid
).
Theres usually time for a bit of lunch, some spinning in the afternoon followed by a burn and BBQ in the evening. Theres even talk of a tea tasting workshop with a variety of teas all the way from China courtesy of myself and Lazyangel. I'm sure we'll think of a few more as the day approaches too (ideas welcome)
There will be limited crash space available on the saturday night and if we get a lot of interest we can investigate local campsites to accomodate.
We've had a lot of fun doing PITP the last two years and this year will be no different. Look forward to seeing you there!
I'll post more details as the day approaches. In the mean time I encourage you to post your interest (so we can get an idea of numbers) and take a look at last years vid!

Aran: that sucks dude...
steaks: nah, you need to watch it from the other punt to get the full experience;) It was hilarious! (sorry dom
I would like to add, that although Dom's punting skills were somewhat less than orthodox, he did a damn sight better than the majority of tourists (especially spanish girls for some reason) that I've seen in Cambridge.

Punting is about getting people stuck in the reeds, knackering yourself and trying not to fall off the punt.
Therefore I will try to avoid punting as much as possible x

Dom, seriously you did really well, yeah it was funny to watch due to your somewhat unorthodox style, but not annoying. I see Guy has put you back on the list, lets keep it that way
Jo, I assume that means your punting, if not actually doing the punting bit?

right, that's really annoying
went to the punting station, but no one was there, so I called them up and got some completely different person to the one who I spoke to before.
Apparently we can't book punts if we're leaving after 11am
And they weren't willing to give me the extra discount!
on to plan B then I guess (aka last minute arrangements/play it by ear)
Don't worry though, we'll get it sorted out!

it'll be ok, I'll knit us all a load of balaclavas and we'll hijack the punts.

some good news on the punt front:
Jelena's managed to book one punt through her uni, which is basically free: yay!
I've been looking at punt prices near the granta:
Granta punts: £14/hour (£12 if we have a Cambridge leisurecard/student card - I think!)
Scudamore's:£16/hour (£14 if we have a Cambridge leisurecard/student card - I think!)
A little further down the river is Trinity punts, who do hiring at £12, so I may need a crack punting team to go and pick up a bunch of punts with me, and take them back at the end (it's not so bad if the punts empty, we can probably make decent time)
On the plus side, we're not booked with anyone, so anybody who changes their mind/ can't make it to the punting at the last minute: don't worry!
Some info on how to punt (not use of large staff for propulsion ) :

The route we'll be going (stopping a little after dead man's corner)

Nice work Guy and Jelena
Quick weather forecast: It looks like it might rain a bit during the day so be prepared with umberellas etc. Evening isnt looking too bad though
oh and Guy, loving scudamores punting tips:
"Preparation for steering
At the end of the stroke the pole will float naturally off the river bottom and rise to the surface."
LOL! I just almost fell off my chair laughing and got funny looks from half the office. When has a punt pole ever come out of the mud voluntarily?
See you all on Saturday.
See you all soon!

DUDE!!! do you think we could ram the other punts if we managed that? :P
Written by :Rellizate
Haha, it's fun. Remember to bring an umbrella though... If we have enough and it starts to rain, we can make a roman-stlye shield all the way around the punts! Always wanted to try that...

For those of you can't be bothered to read all 10 pages to find teh details for tomorrow, I looked them up and here they be ...
Right, finally time for some details
We will be meeting at The Granta pub at 11:30am. Which is here:14 Newnham Ter, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB3 9EX: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...=14&iwloc=A
Its not far from the town centre so I would recommend walking from there. Its a bit further from the train station so if anyone needs a lift PM me and I can work something out.
We will not be doing lunch as such but there will be time to grab some food at the pub, or go to a nearby co-op, or bring something along if you want. Baked goodies is coming too but some more snacks and drinks for the punts cant hurt either
We will leave the pub at around 1pm and head off up the river. This will give people time to go to the shop, drop stuff at Guys house etc before we leave.
Cost wise it will be about £5 each for the punts. BUT this depends on how many people we have in each punt as its an hourly rate per punt, so it could be a bit more or a bit less (probably less if anything cos Guy is a leg-end and is trying to organise a discount for us). We will be going punting even if its raining so if the weather looks a bit iffy bring an umberella!
We'll get back from punting about 4-4:30 I guess so will have a bit of chill out time at Guys, grab some bbq food from a nearby shop and then head down to Grantchester meadows for the evening which will go on as long as people want it to
I think that covers everything except to say YAY I can't wait! See you in a couple of weeks

For those of you can't be bothered to read all 10 pages to find teh details for tomorrow, I looked them up and here they be ...
Right, finally time for some details
We will be meeting at The Granta pub at 11:30am. Which is here:14 Newnham Ter, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB3 9EX: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...=14&iwloc=A
Its not far from the town centre so I would recommend walking from there. Its a bit further from the train station so if anyone needs a lift PM me and I can work something out.
We will not be doing lunch as such but there will be time to grab some food at the pub, or go to a nearby co-op, or bring something along if you want. Baked goodies is coming too but some more snacks and drinks for the punts cant hurt either
We will leave the pub at around 1pm and head off up the river. This will give people time to go to the shop, drop stuff at Guys house etc before we leave.
Cost wise it will be about £5 each for the punts.

sorry guys, I won't be there.
It'd mean getting up at 6.45am to get the train in time to meet you, plus I have severe lack of finances and should really probably revise! Sorry :hug
hope you all have a great time x
