Hey everyone, 

 

Hope exams are going well! 

 

Something to think about to take your mind off revision for a minute is our annual surf trip. 

 

Taking place on the 20th – 23rd June at the end of week 9 we will be heading to Newgale campsite and praying the weather will be nice. Here we will be camping right next to the beach so it’s the perfect place to try out some surf kayaking or a gentle paddle in the sea depending on the conditions! 

 

This is the final trip of the year and the last one for some of us, with a big social Saturday night, including a bonfire and the famous club eliminator. 

 

Kayaking isn’t required (I only paddled for an hr last year), and the trip is open to all Canolo members!

 

Signups for Surf are a little different, you sign up to both the arrival and departure time to get transport.

Canoe love, 

 

Cameron and all the exec.

End of Term and Upcoming Sessions!!

Posted 1y 2mth ago by Yousuf Mohammed

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

Warwick Canoe Polo Charity Fresher Tournament!!

Posted 1y 3mth ago by Yousuf Mohammed

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
