2 quick reminders - firstly we hope you’ve all been enjoying punting this term, the good news is that this can continue over lockdown in households! However we’d recommend taking advantage of this is the next few weeks as the punts are coming in for the winter before the end of term.

The second reminder is that the stash has been released for this year! This is the most subsidised in Johns let alone Cambridge and all you have to do is follow the link:

yeah, punting is pretty cool... but have you tried night punting?

In case you don't know, it's available for all Johnians! One just needs to be briefly inducted into crucial safety rules.

The inductions will happen on Wednesday and Friday at 21:00, Cripps Porters Lodge. They should last no more than 15 mins if participants are prompt.

See you there!

Our Society is well-known to have been proudly offering the cheapest John's stash over the last couple of years. As we are aiming to defend "The Best StyleValue-For-Money" title for the 10th year in a row, we are taking serious steps to satisfy needs of all our members with a dose of great college clothing. We are ready to improve the quality, accessibility and wearability of the stash we provide.

That is why we are asking you, the lovely John's punters community, to let us know what you would like to flex with during your nights in Cindies for the rest of the year. Please, take a minute of your time to increase the chances of getting your outfit on point by filling in this short form before 27th October!

Hi there! We'd like to get stash in before the end of Michaelmas so could you please fill out this form to tell us about whether you're interested in stash and if so, what items you'd like to see available. This is your one chance to get the cheapest stash in Cambridge; it'd be a shame to miss out :...

I hope you are having a well-deserved rest over the break and will be coming to Cambridge highly motivated for the Easter Term!☺️

We will need some entrepreneurial people who are keen to do some little work (so called 'bailing') for the good of the whole community of St John's - why not you?
Take several minutes of break during your study for exams and earn punting vouchers by the river in the sunshine!☀️

⬇️Please sign up for any slots you can do on the attached doodle:

Please tick as many days as you can. This doesn't mean you'll get more days than anyone else - it will simply make scheduling easier :)

‼️➡️For those who are new to bailing⬅️‼️
The puntpool is by the Cripps Plodge, quite easy to find. There are tools in the cupboard built into the ledge at the puntpool. The easiest way to do the work is to use the piston pump - it’s a bit like a syringe. You actuate the piston and the water gets drawn in and flushed out through a hole on the side. The other is using something that looks like a dustpan - you literally scoop the water out of the punt.
You can do the bailing whenever you want on the chosen date and you can get the voucher from porters at the Cripps Plodge. You need to tell them if you can have one or two vouchers depending on whether bailing was required on the day or not.

➡️It’s doing it all on a punt!⬅️

Our glorious Committee will be bringing the punts out this Friday from 4:30pm.

You won’t believe it, BUT there’s one thing that is even better than punting - it’s punting FOR FREE!🤑

Wanna grab a couple of coupons for free punting?
Come help us on Friday - great atmposhere and impressive amount of free refreshments guaranteed! Coming promptly not required - any help at any point will be appreciated.

PS punting alone can be fun as well 😉
