title	Uni: Canoe Society RAG Raft Madness, Plymouth Sound - 1st March 1986
intro	As part of a frenetic RAG week (a few days after a student demo in London), Nosher's back in Plymouth to take some photos of the Canoe Society's "home-made raft" craziness in the non-too-tropical waters of Plymouth Sound. There's even snow around, which is not that common in Plymouth, which gives an idea as to how cold it is. The idea is to paddle a home-made contraption out in to the Sound and back, all the while under the watchful eye of the Students' Union Canoe Society.
