Canoe Polo at UQ Pool Postponed
Due to huge increases in the pool hiring fees the club is no longer able to afford to hire the UQ Pool. The cost to users would be prohibitive.
We are investigating other options in order to find a way to make this workable, and will update information as this is worked out.
