Outdoor Activities First Aid

Hi all,

Just to let you know that there is a free first aid course running over the weekend of week 2 at the university aimed at clubs like ours.  It is very well run and gives a good grounding in first aid in the outdoor and possibly extreme environment... and it is free.

If you would like to attend please email or go and see Gemma Moris at the warwick sport office upstairs in the sports centre.  Hurry there are only a couple of spaces left.  Let her know what club you are from (say Canoe even if you are mainly Polo) and that i have mentioned it to you.

Leam Trip

Hi everyone

Hope you've all had a brilliant freshers week, and if you are a fresher have enjoyed your first sessions with us.

We're going to be running a trip to the river leam on sunday 12th October, this will be primarily for freshers to the club or those who did not go on a trip last year. It'll be a good chance to get some practice on a real, though slow moving river, there will be several coaches and we'll be teaching you some useful skills  for future trips, and ready to answer questions.

We'll be meeting at a still to be confirmed time (probably around 9) at the bus stop near the union, and then getting a bus into leamington. Bring with you swimming shorts, clothes and SHOES  to get wet,  dry clothes, towel and either lunch or money to buy lunch in leamington, we'll provide you with everything else. It will take as long as you guys want it to take and we'll probably go to the pub after.

Sign up is NOW OPEN, to sign up look on the left at the canoe section, click on trips and then select the trip you want (in this case leam trip) then sign up.

Any questions email me or post on the forum at www.warwickcanoe.co.uk, your name and password is the same as your warwick sport one.

Hope to see loads of new faces there

Ok folks we thought we would take advantage of the lack of work at the beginning of term and venture out to Top B after the pool session on monday,

There is a sports club only Top B being held in Tempo the new Night club on campus, so we shouldnt have to worry about those pesky Top B queues! And still only a £1 a pint! Be great to see as many of you there as possible!

Leam Training

Calling all drivers/people stupid enough to volunteer to carry boats a long way. The plan this year is to run weekly training sessions on the mighty leam for those of us wanting to be considered for the warwick teams. Attendance will not mean that you are guarenteed a place on the teams, but it will help you play a lot better, not to mention gain experience at playing outdoors (quite a shock for the first time!). So to this end, I will need drivers to volunteer to ferry boats and kit from the sports centre to leamington. Their petrol will be paid for by the people attending that week (and possibly a contribution from the club depending on Ms Smith's generosity!). Cheers guys.
