<><Cardiff Whitewater Centre (CIWW)<><

Posted 2y 9mth ago by Sam Pfeffer-Matthews
If you’re looking for some great whitewater practice before Scotland or just want a distraction from deadlines join us on our day trip to Cardiff Whitewater Centre Sunday of week 9, 12th of March!
 
Sign ups will go up this Thursday at 12pm. https://warwickcanoe.uk/trips/
 
As this will be run as a peer-paddle style trip, there is a requirement that you have been on at least one of our other whitewater trips.
 
There are two sessions run throughout the day, morning and afternoon. Members will be attending both sessions but it is not compulsory to do both. The morning session is designed to be a bit easier than the afternoon with less water being pumped down the course. I highly reccommend getting in as much practice as you can as the course is such an amazing place to learn!
 
It is £10 to book onto a session https://www.ciww.com/ (Fuel cost will be calculated after the trip)
 
Canoe Love,

Polo Sessions this week

Posted 2y 9mth ago by Adi Cormack
Hey everyone, happy week 7! Due to varsity amongst other things, our sessions this week are looking slightly different:
 
Tuesday- 20:30-22:00 (as normal)
Friday- 20:30-22:00 (ladies only with Birmingham and Bristol Uni attending)
Saturday- 17:30-19:00 (a shorter session due to Varsity)
 
Please note that this is also slightly different to the posted calendar as our B's tournament had to be moved due to Varsity- fear not, it will be happening in term 3 instead.
 
Also, with Cardiff approaching, it would be great to see as many people as possible at sessions.
As always, any questions feel free to message me or any of the exec.
 
Polo love,

Speaking of bars, the walls will be littered with tables and kegs serving just about any combination of alcoholic beverage and flavour you can imagine. From Cider and Ale, to soft drinks and the infamous 'Turbo Purple' there really is something for everyone.
 
If that still isn't enough to tempt you, there will the finest live music, food and novelty pint glasses to bag on the night.
 
It's also a great opportunity to sample the variety of Lilley's ciders on offer, which will be particularly of interest to those planning on coming to Scotland or Surf

Sliders Order Extended + Beanies Update

Posted 3y 0mth ago by Yousuf Mohammed

Happy Week 9 everyone, we are almost at the end!!

 

For those who ordered beanies, you should have a message from me with payment details.

 

For those ordering sliders, unfortunately since not enough people ordered them, they would be too expensive to order for just those individuals. 

 

So I will be leaving the sliders order open until the new year. This means if anyone else would like to order sliders after Christmas, when you’ve got a bit more cash, are welcome to do so.

 

If enough people do manage to order they should cost £26.40.

 

Sorry to the people who have ordered already.

 

Any questions or issues please let one of us know :) 

 

Secretary Love,

 

Yousuf, Brother and all of the exec xx
