Hi guys,

We are truely in a British style emergency. A couple of inches of snow falls, and the whole university shuts down.

Fear not, everything isn't lost. The sports centre will still be open for the kayaking session at 3pm today.

For the brave ones amongst you, we will be snow boating/pissing about with the snow from 2, so meet at the sports centre at 2. Give me a bell if you're late to see where we are.

Your currently very toasty vice president (thanks to the librarys over enthusiastic heating system)

According to my sources (well, Madi heard it from somewhere) that, due to the snow, they've decided to shut the pool at 6pm tonight for some reason...

So don't brave the cold, stay indoors with a cup of cocoa! See you on Thursday/at the next social instead.

Dear all,

A tour will be leaving campus on Thursday 2nd April. It will be returning to campus on Thursday 9th April.

The destination will be Scotland, where precipitation, rivers, whiskey and pretty maidens come hand in hand.

If you fancy joining in on this fun filled adventure, signup is going to be opening 3rd February at about 11:00 am.

The signup will be open to all paddlers who've been on two river trips, so sign up if you're interested. However, the final tour must consist of the right balance of drivers/experienced paddlers/confident beginners so I cannot confirm that those first to sign up will get to go.

If you're not sure you're good enough yet, but want to come, sign up and a friendly exec member will discuss possibilities with you.

The tour will hopefully cost no more than £160 (including only transport and accommodation). A bargain for 7 days of event filled excitement!

Details are subject to changes. Ask any exec member/experienced member of the club about how awesome it is.


Are you up for it?

The polo club will soon be ordering more Rash Vests. They will be exactly the same as last year so you know exactly what they look like and if you're really nice may even be able to try one on. The sizing chart is below.



For reference -  mine is a medium.

These are high quality rash vests with the design actually printed into the fabric rather than just stuck on so they will last a lot longer.

Cost is £22 each. Same drill as hoodies post here if you want one. Cheques payable to UWSU please write your name and "Rash Vest" on the back.

Please only use this post if you are ordering one as it's a pain in the arse to filter through the crap that you lot write. Any questions etc. start a forum discussion.

Dear Everyone,

The jackets will soon be with us, though we are still awaiting payment from a few naughty types, but I have decided (and been told) to get on with things. So let's all get hoodies! I promise they won't be cardigans, capes or my trademark 'swesties', but real hoodies, honest guv. What's more they should be affordable, stylish and available in a variety of colours to be confirmed.

As well as being able to proudly display that you are a member of that gem among sports clubs: 'Warwick Canoe', AND have a funky design on the back, either some manly Kayaking motif or a big picture of my face (I just can't decide), you will be able to select for yourself a humorous or inappropriate name to have emblazoned upon your breast.

So... who's interested? Email, post or shout very loudly. Would you like S, M or L. Anybody desperate for a particular colour? What hideous title do you envisage for yourself? I might just give a half-price hoodie to anyone who chooses the name 'Marble-Gargler'.

Robb.
