Dear all,

A tour will be leaving campus on Thursday 2nd April. It will be returning to campus on Thursday 9th April.

The destination will be Scotland, where precipitation, rivers, whiskey and pretty maidens come hand in hand.

If you fancy joining in on this fun filled adventure, signup is going to be opening 3rd February at about 11:00 am.

The signup will be open to all paddlers who've been on two river trips, so sign up if you're interested. However, the final tour must consist of the right balance of drivers/experienced paddlers/confident beginners so I cannot confirm that those first to sign up will get to go.

If you're not sure you're good enough yet, but want to come, sign up and a friendly exec member will discuss possibilities with you.

The tour will hopefully cost no more than £160 (including only transport and accommodation). A bargain for 7 days of event filled excitement!

Details are subject to changes. Ask any exec member/experienced member of the club about how awesome it is.


Are you up for it?

It's beeing held in Nottingham weekend of week 9 (6-8th March). The sign up will go up tomorrow (Friday) at about 3pm assuming i dont stupidly forget.

If you want to see some photos there is a facebook group which you can all join.

The polo club will soon be ordering more Rash Vests. They will be exactly the same as last year so you know exactly what they look like and if you're really nice may even be able to try one on. The sizing chart is below.



For reference -  mine is a medium.

These are high quality rash vests with the design actually printed into the fabric rather than just stuck on so they will last a lot longer.

Cost is £22 each. Same drill as hoodies post here if you want one. Cheques payable to UWSU please write your name and "Rash Vest" on the back.

Please only use this post if you are ordering one as it's a pain in the arse to filter through the crap that you lot write. Any questions etc. start a forum discussion.

Dear Everyone,

The jackets will soon be with us, though we are still awaiting payment from a few naughty types, but I have decided (and been told) to get on with things. So let's all get hoodies! I promise they won't be cardigans, capes or my trademark 'swesties', but real hoodies, honest guv. What's more they should be affordable, stylish and available in a variety of colours to be confirmed.

As well as being able to proudly display that you are a member of that gem among sports clubs: 'Warwick Canoe', AND have a funky design on the back, either some manly Kayaking motif or a big picture of my face (I just can't decide), you will be able to select for yourself a humorous or inappropriate name to have emblazoned upon your breast.

So... who's interested? Email, post or shout very loudly. Would you like S, M or L. Anybody desperate for a particular colour? What hideous title do you envisage for yourself? I might just give a half-price hoodie to anyone who chooses the name 'Marble-Gargler'.

Robb.

Ok folks there have be tales of people having lectures on wednesday afternoons, there has been an unwritten agreement between the uni and the students union to kepp wednesday afternoons free for sport since the dawn of time, so if you have lectures running past 12pm on a wednesday then please send your testimony so we can put a stop to this before it becomes a problem. thank you.

Also Naken calanders featuring the canoe club and your's truely are now on sale at a reduced price of £2.50  wow! So if running out of ideas for mothers day, or just want to look at naken members (haha) of the canoe club when you feel lonely wander over to the sports center and take your home today!

Yo Hombres y mamitas!

You can probably hear Madi screaming in excitement already, but:


It's time for the manic madness of ICE SKATING!!!!!!


When: Wednesday Week 3 (21st Jan) 7:15pm at Campus Bus Stop/8pm at the Coventry Skydome.

Who: Everybody!!!!!! The more the merrier (and the cheaper!) Don't worry if you "can't skate", the Ice is very forgiving and there's plenty of space to watch and laugh too.


Thick Socks are a good idea.

Cheers,

Matt and Nige
