Let's get creative...POLO Hoodies.
Alright guys! This year we have a wicked offer for you. Design the 09/10 Polo Club hoody, and if your design is the chosen one, you will receive your hoody for free! This is a very good offer seeing as they cost 20-30 of your precious pounds. So its well worth your time and money to get involved. Right, This year the idea is the have a zippy hoody, like the ones with a zip down the middle, like cardigan but a hoody instead...with a zip and hood, you catch my drift. The design must be a printable in one colour (black/white) onto light/dark coloured hoodies. This means it must be a SIMPLE LINE OR BLOCK design. If you're not sure what I'm talking about just have a look round campus at other designs for other clubs. We would like an improvement on the current design (the paddle with the ball in the middle and warwick canoe typset round it in a circle). Something exciting that reflects the pace and energy of the game (when not played by punters) would be awesome. Two of the most obvious ideas include perhaps a guy winding up to take an awesome shot, or maybe someone on the sprint taking a hard paddle stroke, or maybe even someone pushing someone else in, or a tackle...whatever, just remember it can't be too complicated, and we don't want to end up with a design that only people who play canoe polo might understand. Deadline for designs is next friday, week 8 (27/11/09). Please can you scan your designs in if they are hand drawn, there are scanners in the library if you don't have one at home. Also do not worry if it is a SIMPLE pen/pencil drawing as our mighty Webbo will be able to transfer this into a printable design using some computer program thing. Right thats the end of this incredibly long winded post but I hope you get the idea. To summarise: If your design wins, you get a hoody for free. Think simple block/line design. Deadline: friday week 8. Safe. Peace out. To Webbo, Please could you link us to the old designs if you can find them. Thanks.

Dr John's Fiendish Rules Quiz - with prize
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.
G

Be there or be Square!!
Cheers, Mofo and Jen
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.
Missing Kit
Right then Einstein and I have just done an inventory of all the Canoe Club Kit and there is a fair bit unaccounted for.
Thursday Coaching sessions
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
