Yo!

The almost mythical ULU tournament has finally been confirmed.

When: Weekend of Wk7 (21-22 November)

It'll be a great weekend with separate leagues for Men, Woman and Freshers.

If you're a fresher and unsure as to whether to signup, the Freshers league will be full of people like you from other Universities. It will be a great experience and well worth signing up.

Please signup asap, more details will follow when we have them.

Cheers,

Nige
Your "Free Love" Tournament Sec.

Dr John's Fiendish Rules Quiz - with prize

Posted 15y 6mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Doc Brown

Morning all.

Dr John has written a nice rules quiz for you all, located on the 'Canoe Polo/Polo Rules Book' page at the bottom of the left hand links.

If you print it off, do it and bring it in next Tuesday, we will mark it and you can win a t-shirt if you get the best score. The link appears next to a link to a copy of the rules book, it's an 'open book exam' as the exam people would say.

If you are playing at the tournament it would be really good if you could do this. Your captains might even require it!

Warwick Rage!

Good morning laddies and gentlewomen, or as Hanky the Christmas poo would say "hi-de-ho",

Next Tuesday, 10th November, will be the first WARWICK RAGE! internal polo tournament:

An inter-club tournament, bringing out the best (and sometimes worst) of your competitive nature! 5 teams, played as one league, glory (large) for the top team. I'll pick (hilariously named) teams and make them as even as possible. If you can think of hilarious team names, post them under this news item on the website. Nothing too rude please, you might offend my delicate sensibilities.

Sign up in the 'canoe/trips' section on the left hand links of the web-site if you would like to take part, link here:
http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/123/

More important that ever will be turning up on time at 19:15, as always relying on a few kind people to help set up five minutes or so before then. Try to be that guy, everyone will love you.

Think that was all. Store up that aggression ready to be vented at Rage, it's the healthy way.

Polo rules book

I've put a copy of the polo rules, kindly scanned in by Dr John, in the Canoe Polo/Polo Rules Book section (bottom link on the list on the left hand side).

Not sure if I'm breaking the law by putting it up, so please don't distribute it. You'll only be able to see the link if you're logged in and you're a member of polo.

Dr John is writing a "fiendish rules quiz" complete with prizes. Not sure when it will be out.

Right then Einstein and I have just done an inventory of all the Canoe Club Kit and there is a fair bit unaccounted for.

If you have (or know the location of) any of the list below please let me know and return it TO ME. Please don't just leave it on the balcony without letting me know because most of it doesn't live there.

Here we go:

Paddles
1 x Black Originz Nevis Bluff paddles
1 x Red Lendal padlock splits
1 x Yellow Werner Rios

Helmets
1 x Blue Peak UK Predator
1 x Yellow Peak UK Predator

Spraydecks
2 x Black and Yellow Playboater Shock Decks

Misc Kit
4 x Orange Karrimor Survival Bags

2 x Pink Palm 15m throw line
1 x Blue Camping Gaz Gas Canister
5 x Black 6 m Yak roof straps (with Buckle)
1 x Black Yak roof straps (without buckle)

Various Wetsuits and Fleeces but I assume these are waiting to be returned from Fresher's Trip. Please bring these back rinsed and dried this week so they are ready for Tyne Tour.

Please check through all your paddling for the above stuff.
Cheers,
PGL








Thursday Coaching sessions

Posted by: Einstein

Hi everyone

hope those of you that went had a wicked time at score.

As of next week (5th November) the thursday session will be solely for coaching. I'll post up the skill we'll be teaching on the website before, so check it out and come along if you want to learn some stuff. This should be a really good way to improve before we go on trips, and will hopefully make you a much better paddler

Please only come if you want to learn or can coach.

If you want to help coach at these sessions please talk to me or Matt Snowman, you don't have to be qualified, just keen and willing to listen and learn from the coaches.

Thanks

Einstein

Warwick Winter Tournament

Posted 15y 6mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: P Gizzle
The Legendary Warwick Winter Polo Tournament is fast approaching and we are starting to think about teams. So please sign up if you are available and want to be considered for a place.

Our tournament is Sunday 29th November from 09:30 to 18:00 in the pool.

We are entering 2 mens team and 1 ladies team and will be competing against teams from Nottingham, Bath, Birmingham, Bangor and Bristol. There is 16 mens spaces and 8 ladies so not all of you will get the chance to play this time around. But, fear not, there is a possibility of a Freshers tournament in London soon (we are awaiting confirmation) and another next term in Bath. 

If you do not make it onto the team please do try to come and watch for a bit to see some high level polo and cheer us on.

Remember if you don't sign up you won't even be considered for a place.

Any chance somebody has a garden big enough to host the Canoe Club fireworks this year? Hopefully on 5th November (obviously!)

Preferably someone in Leam, and may be able to sweeten the deal for you.


Let me know as no venue mean no fireworks! We can't have that now can we!!
