Change of plan for Nene

Posted 15y 11mth ago by Some Old Git

Hi guys,

Thanks to the mighty organisational skills of the Nene, everything has been moved to week 10, Wednesday 24th June. It will be the same time, so I imagine that we will be leaving about 12ish and returning around 7.

Please signup, the trip is likely to be very cheap as the University is paying for the course hire. It's a gerat laugh and will be the last opportunity for many of you to play on whitewater before next year, so get involved. If you can no longer make this date, can you please remove your signup.

Muchos gracias

Nene trip Week 9

Howdy boys and girls,

The holidays are drawing close, and end of term looms. What's that I hear you cry? You want some more whitewater excitement before you finish the year? Fear not. We are organising a trip to the Nene artificial whitewater centre in Northampton on Wednesday 17th June (that's week 9 to those stuck on bubble time).

The Nene course is great for all abilities, whether you're waiting to do your first whitewater roll, or want to perfect surfing waves or give cartwheeling a try. We will have a number of coaches there help you improve on whatever you want. Or, if you just want to muck about on the course, you can do that as well. The world is your oyster.

As usual, sign up through the trips link on the website. Price is going to be below a tenner, as the University is paying for the course hire. How nice of them. We'll be leaving around 12ish to return for around 7, but times will be confirmed nearer the date.

Adios

Dom

Surf Trip T-shirts

Hi guys, just a quick note to ask all of you wanting a surf-trip t-shirt to get organised with the £4. No money means no t-shirt!
I'll be at the pool session this afternoon, and i'll turn up at the end of polo tomorrow. If you're not coming to either of these sessions, i tend to live in the maths block at the moment, or just give me a ring/text (0seven517fourfour239three) to organise sometime to meet up.

Thanks to everyone thats already paid up

Canoe Sessions

Posted 16y 0mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: P Gizzle
We've had a few complaints from Canoe Club members regarding use of polo kit in canoe sessions.

It has been agreed that if you want to practice any skills in a Polo boat you MUST use a plastic. If you want to use a ball to practice handrolling with - that is fine. Balls must not be thrown around the pool except with the permission of myself or a canoe exec member. This will only occur when te session isn't very busy.

Remember that these are canoe session and polo occurs tuesdays and fridays when we get more pool time anyway.

Lots of wet love 
PGL

Tuesday night tournament

Posted 16y 0mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Doc Brown

Good evening.

The teams for the tournament tomorrow are below, made up from those who expressed interest. If you turn up on the night, I'll try and find you a place in a team. 

Please turn up on time, preferably five or ten minutes before to help set up the goals and get gear out. I know some people may have language classes late, but if not, be there on time or live in the knowledge that you waltzed in late and took the game time of someone who set the pitches up for you, does that feel good?! Whinge-over.

Notes for the tournament:

-Games start at 19:20 on the dot, are 5 minute halves with half time included in that followed by a 3 minute changeover. Please get on the pitch behind the back line, because the games will start if there are enough people on or not (allowing a bit of leeway for minor slowness)! so you might get steam rollered by the sprint!

-Please try to arrange a boat and gear for yourself with the team getting off before your game at half time of the game before yours, to speed up the changeover.

-I would like it if the refereeing is done by new referees wanting practice, so any old gits tempted to 'show them how it's done', please don't.

Teams:

Warwick A (+0)

Baby Clough

Bradley

Cloughy

Mofo

PGL

The Baron

Warwick B (+4)

RobTom

Screamer

TomRob

Vince

Yellow

Mysterious Joe

Snowman - maybe

Warwick Ladies (+6)

Amba

Harriet

Jen

Jurga

Sarah

Madi - maybe

Warwick Regular Old Gits (+0)

Dr John

G

Iain

Pete

Webbo

Matt - might be here

Warwick Extra Old Gits (+2)

Buck

Einstein

Fingers

Noj

Ralphy

Dunphy


Cheers,

Graham

Hey guys and girls of the mighty canoe club

The surf trip is now looming upon us and the signup is NOW OPEN.

You probably want to do ALL THREE
Tshirts MUST BE ORDERED BY FRIDAY WEEK 5 AND MONEY GIVEN TO PETE/SCAMRASS. They cost £4 each.

Seperate signups exist for those transporting themselves there earlier, same with tshirts.
