BUCS Slalom

Posted 16y 1mth ago by Some Old Git

 Want to show the world who's [not] the best slalom paddler?

The national student slalom championships will soon be upon us.
  • Dates: 13th & 14th February 2010
  • Venue: Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham
  • Party: The party theme is Valentines and there will be a cheap bar!
  • Accommodation: camping
Deal is this:
- 2 nights of camping
- 1 amazing party
- 2 days of competitive (or hungover) paddling.
- as this is a competitive event and Warwick Sport sponsors it and it's virtually cost free for you!!

Points are not just for winning: however you represent your university, do it with pride. This is open to anyone with any boating experience (minimum of a pool session).
The more people we get going the better it becomes for us, so sign up on Monday at 12:00 for a great weekend.


Other reminders:
- come help out at the Refresher's Fair tomorrow (Friday 22nd) 10 till 17:30
- check the website (have patience with it, it's poorly) for up to date information on everything: we don't email everything out!

Refreshers Fair

Posted by: P Gizzle
Tomorrow in the atrium they are running a freshers fair which we have 2 stalls for. It is a similar format to Freshers sports fair from the start of the year to attract new members to the clubs.

Unfortunately I and a lot of other exec members are busy for a lot of the day so we're looking for volunteers to man the stalls and sell the club to people looking to take up a new sport in the new year.

Where?: The Atrium (Downstairs open bit of the new SU)
When?: 09:30 - 17:30 (We'll probably leave early to dash of for Refresher's trip)
What to bring?: Yourself, a laptop if you have one as there are no power points available and we'd like to have a few videos on for people to watch. (Obviously the laptop will be your responsibility so keep an eye on it)

I'll be there a bit at 09:30 to get set up but am dashing off pronto. Then I'll be back at 15:00.

We have chosen the option of having initials on the right breast this year.

Price of hoodies will be approximately £25 - I will let you know the final hoody price once I have everyone's order.

Sooo, please post below only to confirm an order, don't want any rubbish clogging up this thread. If you have an actual question because you are confused, then maybe i will permit you one post in this thread.

I would like your:
name
choice of colour
size
intials for right breast (if you want them)

Deadline for order is Friday 22nd Jan (week 2)

Cost will then be confirmed, and cash/cheques will be collected at the polo session tues week 3.

Excellento, I cannot wait to see you all looking sexy in your polo hoody.

ULU Tournament Money

Posted 16y 1mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Yellow
Hello everyone - hope you had a good Christmas and a fun New Year!!

Anyway, we need to collect money due for the ULU Tournament last term. The cost is £20 - to cover travel, entry fees and camping. Not bad for a weekend of polo!!

If you could bring your cheque book or cash to Polo tomorrow night - that would be great. I'm sure Scamrass won't mind collecting the money for me at Canoe tonight if I don't make it.

Also, National League players that played in either of the first 2 tournaments, but haven't yet paid - please pay this week. £7.50 per tournament.

We will not be charging for the cancelled tournament.

Cheers,

Yellow

Hey guys just received this by e-mail not sure if you all did or not so thought I'd post it up anyway.

Being a driver helps out the clubs massively as we can't run trips otherwise. It'll also mean you're more likely to get onto popular trips!

The Lecture is Thursday 14th
January @ 5pm R1.13(If you are not 21 yet but are thinking of doing an assessment in
the future you can go along to this)

The Assessments are taking place Monday 18th
January-Thursday 21st January

Dear all,

If possible, it's probably best to view this email in HTML, so click that option if you're using the smail/whatever.

The following table gives a rough plan of next term's events, although some events' plans are more concrete than others. It should give everyone a good idea about the excitement in store!

If you want to know if a particular date/event is set in stone, best to ask an appropriate exec member. You'll no doubt hear more about what's happening nearer the time.

Easter holiday:
BUCS Canoe Polo (around 24th April 2010)
Easter Tour


 On Wednesday 9th December (week 10) at 7pm at Robin's Well (Leamington), we've got the Christmas Meal with some Canoe Exec Elections:
- if you've booked your place but have special dietary requirements, please let Mofo or Jen know
- Dress code is formal - check out pictures from previous years on the website for an idea
- If you like the sound of becoming involved in the organisation of the club, then think up an election song and joke, as a position be elected for that takes your fancy!
- If you're lame and haven't booked a place but want to come along, speak to Mofo or Jen

Think that's it, have a good weekend!
