Canoe Polo Rules Session
Wednesday Kit Fixing
Hello all I'm going to be doing a Polo boat fixing afternoon and will be showing people how to fix the boats. I would love the help as there is a lot that needs to be done, it will be a great way to learn about the boats, and see how they are looked after, and we will be building the new goal and helmets. So if youÔÇÖre free after 3:30 on Wednesday come down to give a hand, even if it's just for a short time. Charlie.
Training courses
Hi all, I hope everyone who went on Freshers had a great time despite everything that happened and that everyone is excited about our next trip to Tyne Tour in a couple of weeks. I know you all can't get enough of kayaking and all want to improve your kayaking skills so we are looking at running some training courses for you to get involved with over the coming year. We are currently looking at running: white water safety course, a 3* kayaking award and possibly a 2* as well depending on interest.
The 3* kayaking is aimed mainly at those who are fairly competent on moving water and dealing with decent sized rapids. So not really for those of you that are completely new to the sport.
White water safety and rescue is aimed at people of a similar level as the 3* but would give you vital skills to help ensure your own and everyoneÔÇÖs safety on the river.
2* is suitable for anyone with just a reasonable skill base, we run through the skills required within our pool sessions term one so anyone who feels comfortable doing all these skills would be suitable for taking their 2* award even without any white water experience.
So if any of the above courses sound interesting then please leave a comment or take part in the┬áFacebook┬ápoll. DonÔÇÖt worry youÔÇÖre not signing your life away to anything (at least not yet), this is purely to gauge interest and official signups will be released if sufficient interest is shown. Also I will post more information about prices, dates and locations shortly. If you want to know any more about the courses, want to suggest more courses or wondering what you would be suitable for then feel free to ask either myself or another exec member at any pool session or leave me a message on┬áFacebook J

TYNE TOUR!!
If you missed out on freshers trip last weekend fear not Tyne Tour is upon us!
From 6th-8th of November we will be heading up North for a weekend of paddling, fireworks, Ceilidhing and socialising. Tyne tour is one of our best trips of the year and involves kayaking clubs from unis all over the country congregating to paddle and party!
Sign ups will go live on the trips part of the website (http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/) at 4:30pm this Thursday (29th October). This is one of our most popular trips of the year so get in there quickly. The trip is again suitable for anyone that has been to at least one pool session (although more is recommended).
We will be camping so everyone will need a sleeping bag. We have 5 club sleeping bags which will be available on a first come first serve basis once the confirmation emails have been sent out. Also, some of the exec members may have a spare if you ask nicely. We have a big club tent so donÔÇÖt panic if you donÔÇÖt have access to one but obviously if you do it would be a good idea to bring it.
The trip will cost ┬ú35 for the weekend and that includes all the kit, transport and the ticket price for the event so really itÔÇÖs a bargain! You will only need to bring shoes you donÔÇÖt mind getting wet, swimwear and lots of warm clothes!!
If you donÔÇÖt yet have an account on the website youÔÇÖll need to make one before you sign up for the trip.
Hopefully see you all at my house for the cocktail social on Thursday!!
Kit and Cocktails!
Our Kit and Cocktails social is this Thursday (29 Oct)!
We will be meeting at the arts centre bus stop at 17.00 and heading to Leam Boat Centre for 18.00. This is a great place to buy kit for upcoming trips at a very good price (anyone who went on Freshers' Trip will appreciate the need for warm kit!).
After that we will be heading to Lauren's house for cocktails! Alan is an expert bartender and has only ever poisoned 2 people so it should be a great time!
If you are interested you will need to bring £5 for cocktails. To help us gauge numbers there is a signup on the website:http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/
You will need an account if you don't already. Instructions on the website.
See you all there!

Just a reminder that the Wednesday pool session this week has been cancelled, as we are circling for Pop!
Circling and POP
Don't forget guys POP this Wednesday (21st), it is mine and Jeff's first circling so you can't miss it!!! We would love to see as many people as possible, whether new or old. Freshers circling and POP is part of the uni experience I would really recommend trying it out!
