Dr John's Fiendish Rules Quiz - with prize
Morning all.
Dr John has written a nice rules quiz for you all, located on the 'Canoe Polo/Polo Rules Book' page at the bottom of the left hand links.
If you print it off, do it and bring it in next Tuesday, we will mark it and you can win a t-shirt if you get the best score. The link appears next to a link to a copy of the rules book, it's an 'open book exam' as the exam people would say.
If you are playing at the tournament it would be really good if you could do this. Your captains might even require it!

Warwick Rage!
Good morning laddies and gentlewomen, or as Hanky the Christmas poo would say "hi-de-ho",
Next Tuesday, 10th November, will be the first WARWICK RAGE! internal polo tournament:
An inter-club tournament, bringing out the best (and sometimes worst) of your competitive nature! 5 teams, played as one league, glory (large) for the top team. I'll pick (hilariously named) teams and make them as even as possible. If you can think of hilarious team names, post them under this news item on the website. Nothing too rude please, you might offend my delicate sensibilities.
Sign up in the 'canoe/trips' section on the left hand links of the web-site if you would like to take part, link here:
http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/123/
More important that ever will be turning up on time at 19:15, as always relying on a few kind people to help set up five minutes or so before then. Try to be that guy, everyone will love you.
Think that was all. Store up that aggression ready to be vented at Rage, it's the healthy way.

Polo rules book
I've put a copy of the polo rules, kindly scanned in by Dr John, in the Canoe Polo/Polo Rules Book section (bottom link on the list on the left hand side).
Not sure if I'm breaking the law by putting it up, so please don't distribute it. You'll only be able to see the link if you're logged in and you're a member of polo.
Dr John is writing a "fiendish rules quiz" complete with prizes. Not sure when it will be out.
Missing Kit
Right then Einstein and I have just done an inventory of all the Canoe Club Kit and there is a fair bit unaccounted for.
Thursday Coaching sessions
Hi everyone
hope those of you that went had a wicked time at score.
As of next week (5th November) the thursday session will be solely for coaching. I'll post up the skill we'll be teaching on the website before, so check it out and come along if you want to learn some stuff. This should be a really good way to improve before we go on trips, and will hopefully make you a much better paddler
Please only come if you want to learn or can coach.
If you want to help coach at these sessions please talk to me or Matt Snowman, you don't have to be qualified, just keen and willing to listen and learn from the coaches.
Thanks
Einstein
Warwick Winter Tournament

Rules course and training in the coming weeks
Hello there!
As a reminder: before the session this evening I will be running a course going over the rules of polo.
I'm going to try and make it as exciting as possible, with bits of cardboard, demonstrations and 'lashings' of sexual innuendo.
Also! In the coming weeks I've got some plans for the training sessions. This week will be the last week of just games for a little while. Next week (5) we will have some training drills to practice shooting and defence. The week after (6) we will have one of the notorious Warwick Rage tournaments, I'll sort out a sign up for this, put you into hilariously named teams, then we'll spend the evening tearing each other to pieces/having pleasant competitive games of polo (delete as appropriate) as part of a mini league system. Winning team gets some sort of prize.
The history of the term 'Warwick Rage' is uncertain. You'll have to join in to find out what it's all about. Sign up appearing after next week's session.
Hopefully ee you tonight!
