Hey everyone,

Firstly congrats to everyone for making it through Term 2!! We are finally at the end and ready for a well earned break. What better way than to switch off than attending the last polo session of the term tonight!

As it is the last session, there will be no more pool sessions until the start of Term 3 (w/c 22nd of April), HOWEVER, with BUCS being the 19-21th of April we have been given pool sessions for the last two weeks of the Easter break: 

Tuesday 9th April, 8:30 - 10pm

Friday 12th April 8:00 - 10pm

Tuesday 16th April 8:30 -10pm

Friday 19th of April 8:00 - 10pm (Although we would have left for BUCS at this point, the session time is still there)

These are all in the Sports Hub as usual. These sessions will be very helpful for those going to BUCS but anyone is welcome to attend, so if you are around during these weeks please do come along! 

There may also be the option of Leam training during these weeks too (more info will follow)!

Any questions feel free to contact any of the exec! 

I hope everyone has a restful break and good luck for any remaining exams/assignments. 

Polo love,

Yousuf xx

Good afternoon all,

The dates for Canoe Polo BUCS 2024 have been confirmed, 19th-21st April. We will be leaving Friday evening and returning Sunday evening. This trip is completely free, which covers transport, entry fees and accommodation! This is a great opportunity to represent the club and university at BUCS. 

As this is the week before term 3 starts and the exam timetable has not yet been released, making you unsure if you can come, please sign up anyway so we can gauge numbers and let an exec member know that you may or may not come depending on the timetable.

Sign up on the website: https://warwickcanoe.uk/trips/trip.php?trip_id=173

Polo love,

Dan and the exec 

Hey everyone! 

I am very excited to announce that we will be hosting a charity fresher tournament Saturday Week 8 (2nd of March) here at the Sports Hub! This will be happening from 2pm-7pm and we will be inviting other universities around the UK to partake too!

This is specifically a fresher tournament so this is for those of you who have just started out this year. This will also be a great way to prepare before Cardiff in Week 9.

Each team will also be allowed a ‘Playmaker’ who is someone on the team who is not a fresher to keep the game moving.

This is also part of our charity month and profits from this event will be going towards Kids with guts, hence we are asking for a £10 donation from each person who wants to partake in our Warwick team. 

If you are free please sign up on the following link: https://warwickcanoe.uk/trips/trip.php?trip_id=171

If you have any questions feel free to contact any of the exec! 

Polo love,

Yousuf and all of the exec xx

Hey everyone, I hope everyone has had a lovely festive period and a happy new year! 

With Term 2 slowly approaching, I am happy to announce the first skill swap of the new year, with Warwick Ice Skating (WIS)! This is an exciting opportunity to try out some ice skating in Coventry; whether you’ve never been or a seasoned pro, I highly encourage you to give it a try! There will be plenty of WIS Exec there to help support you if needed. 

This will be taking place Wednesday Week 2 (17th of January) from 1pm-4pm. The ice rink is in Coventry (https://planet-ice.co.uk/locations/coventry/), and the cost will be £5 for the full 3 hours (including skate hire)! Just make sure to bring your student ID to get the discounted price. I will send more details on getting to the ice rink closer to the time.

The link to sign up is below: 

https://warwickcanoe.uk/trips/trip.php?trip_id=164

WIS will then be joining us to try out some canoe polo Friday Week 2 (19th of January) for the first hour. 

If you have any questions feel free to ask! 

P.S We know that from the feedback form there were requests for more non-drinking socials, so this is one of many more to expect this term!  

Canolo love,

Yousuf and all the exec xx

Hey everyone!

I hope you have all enjoyed the term and congrats on making it until the end! As we move into the Christmas holidays both Canoe and Canoe Polo are looking to elect Fresher Representatives (Reps) for the clubs! 

Putting yourself forward to be a fresher rep will be a great way to get some experience of being an exec member if you plan on doing so in the future, and is a rewarding way of being in the club! 

What are the responsibilities? 

Don’t worry, being a Fresher Rep will not be very strenuous at all! The main requirements are: 

• To be a representative of the freshers (duh!) in the club and voice any concerns and issues
• To attend the weekly exec meetings on either Monday (Canoe) or Tuesday (Polo) before the pool session. 
• Offer a helping hand to exec members when required

If you are interested in applying contact us (Yousuf for Polo or Brother for Canoe) and let us know you would like to apply! We highly encourage as many of you to apply even if you are slightly interested. 

The deadline to apply will be the 1st of January 2024. Elections will then take place in Week 1 of Term 2. Exact details of what to expect at elections and what to do will be shared later on. 

If you have any questions regarding this feel free to contact either one of us! 

Hope you all have a lovely break and happy holidays! :)) 

Canolo Love,

Yousuf, Brother and all the Exec xx

Hey everyone, hope everyone’s doing well!

As we approach the end of our first term, we want to give you the opportunity to tell us how you’ve found both the clubs so far. Below are the links to feedback forms, one for each club. All responses are anonymous so feel free to tell us what you liked, what you didn’t like and what you would want to see more of in the coming year. If you’ve participated in both clubs feel free to submit a form for each. They only take a couple minutes to fill out so if you have the time, please fill them out so we can try and improve the clubs for everyone.
