Had an email this morning about an opportunity to help out with events at Warwick sport. I've attached the email if anyone is interested Good Morning, I just wanted to remind you of the Warwick Sport Activator Recruitment Evening tonight in Rootes, Panarama 7pm start. This is for anyone who is interested in helping out and assisting with our Active Rock up and Play sessions, Leagues, Courses and Events. If there is anyone who just missed out on Exec positions within your club, or maybe you think they would benefit from taking on a little responsibility ÔÇô this would be perfect. The evening will be informal and start with a short presentation from Warwick Active and a quiz. Prizes will be given to the winning quiz teams and one person will win a Warwick Sport Gold Gym Membership! See our Facebook group below; https://www.facebook.com/events/434346486773296/ Please circulate this to anyone you think might be interested via email or social media.

On Friday there are orientation sessions for the international students so we have the pool booked. I can't imagine many students will show up but we will run it like a normal fresher session.
