ThePaddlerUK 70 All in all, the National Student Rodeo 2015 was an outstanding event. Credit goes to Simon and Sarah, the rodeo bosses for this year, who organised everything. A massive thank you to the volunteer heroes of the University of AdventureX safety team, who dived repeatedly into the murky Trent saving bodies and kit alike, with scant regard to the Trent Belly to come. Another massive thank you to all of Leeds University Canoe Club, and all the other volunteers who helped everything run smoothly. From first aid to tea makers, so many people were involved and their efforts were exceptional. Finally, a massive thank you to our sponsors: River Legacy, Palm Equipment, Dagger Kayaks, Zet Kayaks, PGL, Immersion Research, Nookie, Pyranha, Cotswold Outdoors, Dewerstone, NRS, Desperate Measures, Peak, RoHo, FlowFree, Rattle Media, Chris Brain Coaching, Tom Parker Coaching and Guiding, FreeDoms, Mitchell Blades, Kent Canoes, Rivers Publishing, WaveSport, Adventure Technology, AdventureX and Aquapac. The support from the sponsors has been invaluable and the prizes this year have been better than ever before. Thank you so much for giving your time and money to make such an amazing event happen. See you all in 2016, for a slightly belated Christmas themed NSR!
