Winter Surf Trip - Week 7

Posted 17y 4mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Fingers
Hi Guys,

Sign up now for the Winter Surf Trip, at the end of week 7 <=> 22-24th Feb. Not sure where we'll be going yet, but it will be a fun weekend of surfing, on the raging* seas of wherever we end up. Trip will be suitable for everyone. If you have never been kayak surfing before, it is good fun (much easier than ordinary surfing) and, although practicing is considered cheating, will be good but non-essential preparation for the Mighty Summer Surf Trip next term. Look at the photos or ask knowledeable people for more info.

Also, there are still places left on the Leam Boat Centre First Aid course:
"It's £45 (or £40 if we get one more person on it) and you're almost guaranteed to get half of that back from Warwick Sport so it's effectively £20. It's on Saturday at the end of week 8. According to Noj it was really good- lots of practical first aid advice and you get to go out in kayaks for a bit of it."
Reply if you want a place.

It is time to face that anoying itch that is cag rash once and for all. Want it!

Nene trip

Hey guys

After the flooding of the last trip, we've organised another trip to the Nene for wednesday week 9, just before the rodeo, so itll be a great chance to learn some new tricks, or perfect some old ones. If you're not going on the rodeo it'll be a great chance to get some coaching on moving water. We'll be meeting at the sports centre at 1130 and should be getting back at about 1730. Itll cost about £10 depending on how many people go.

Sign up will go up soon.

Scotland Sign up is on the way!

 

Here are the final details you need to know!

 

We leave Warwick Uni Campus at 08:00 Tuesday 25th March 2008 and return late on Wednesday 2nd April 2008.

The first four nights we are staying in the Linnhe Lochside caravan park in mobile homes.  http://www.linnhe-lochside-holidays.co.uk/index.htm You will need sleeping bags here as bedding costs extra!

 

This takes us up to Saturday 29th March 2008, when we move to our second accommodation on the shores of Loch Ness where we are staying for the remainder of the tour!  http://www.lochness-backpackers.com/

 

The tour is open to all, however we STRONGLY recommend that you have been on at least one river trip and are beginning to be confident in your bracing ability by the time we go.  

 

The cost for the eight amazing days of partying and some kayaking will be ┬ú150 however this includes some damage deposits so hopefully weÔÇÖll be getting some of that back!

 

Sign up will open tomorrow evening and spaces will go fast so sign up quick to avoid disappointment.  

 

ThatÔÇÖs all for now, any questions post/email!

Allright guys here is a little low down on the social front for the comming weeks, may it bring you great joy and liver pains:

MONDAY 18th FEB: Mr Blackmore will be giving us a guided tour of his beloved home. TOP BANANA, this will happen post canoe and will be huge but detrimental to your health

THURSDAY 28th FEB:  REAL ALE SOCIAL with guest DOCTOR BUSKER. This  will be an amazing night, maybe the best night of your life.  Hopefully get you all on  the guest list for easy entry (wait for Robert's sexual inuendo). This evening consists of drinking large quantities of fine ale and singing to a legendary band, finally you will be ambushed by people less drunk than you with marker pens. Of course, like all socials you dont have drink

WEEK 8/10 ELECTIONS: Most likely to be on the thursday in Robbins well, there are rumours of kareoke to finish the evening, further details to follow....

cheers all

Cardiff Tournament

Posted 17y 4mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Latvia
Hey guys,
I've created a sign up for the Cardiff tournament. It's happening at the same weekend as rodeo i.e. week 9 (8th-9th March). Cardiff was described as a great party by people who went last year. It's also going to be valuable pre-BUSA experience, as the tournament is outdoors (just like BUSA - 11th-13th April), and playing outdoors is very different. It will then be followed by a party.
I'll get more details to you closer to the time, as at the moment it seems Cardiff have not got very far with the organisation. But please sign up as I need to have an idea of how many teams we're looking at how we're doing with drivers.
Cheers,
Signe
