Also Naken calanders featuring the canoe club and your's truely are now on sale at a reduced price of £2.50  wow! So if running out of ideas for mothers day, or just want to look at naken members (haha) of the canoe club when you feel lonely wander over to the sports center and take your home today!

Yo Hombres y mamitas!

You can probably hear Madi screaming in excitement already, but:


It's time for the manic madness of ICE SKATING!!!!!!


When: Wednesday Week 3 (21st Jan) 7:15pm at Campus Bus Stop/8pm at the Coventry Skydome.

Who: Everybody!!!!!! The more the merrier (and the cheaper!) Don't worry if you "can't skate", the Ice is very forgiving and there's plenty of space to watch and laugh too.


Thick Socks are a good idea.

Cheers,

Matt and Nige

Sorry for yet another email!!

If you are intending on doing your 2 star on the refreshers trip, you will have to do an open canoe test as well. There is one being run at leam boat centre on sun 15th feb, it should cost £25 and you can claim half of this back.

This is also needed for those of you who have old 2 star or are doing your new 3 star if you intend to get coaching qualifications.

It's a really fun day and you do learn a lot of useful skills.

So if anyone wants a go please email me or post on the website

Hi

The club will be running (through leam boat centre) a safety test next month, the only question is, which safety test do you want to do. FSRT or CST. They are such useful courses as im sure many of the club will tell you, feel free to ask any of the older members of the club about it.

FSRT

advantages are it is the new, more detailed course and also includes safety in an open boat aswell as kayak, you'll need this if you intend on getting coaching qualifications later

CST

advantages: can take more people and is likely to be cheaper, also probably more relevant as does not cover canoe rescue which you may not need.

if you want to do one of these post on the website or email me.

The date is likely to be 14th Feb and cost to be confirmed (but you can claim half back from the uni)

That's right Ladies and Gentlefolk. This years hoodies are now available. With a logo tweaked by the overtly camp and potentially homosexual Webbo himself, you too could be the talk of campus sporting this fine garment.

At just £20 complete with a nickname of your choice they are a bargain and will make a great addition to your all too drab wardrobe.

Colours available will be: Navy Blue, Red, Forest Green

I will be in the Grad for some post-polo-pubbage tonight with a small selection of sizes or a selection of small sizes if you prefer. If you want a hoodie please post here with your size, colour and nickname. Then either give a cheque made payable to UWSU me, Rachel or leave it in the envelope in the noticeboard in Union North.

Just failed a January exam?

Struggled handing in that vital bit of coursework for the beginning of term 2?

Fear not, it's time to drown your sorrows Warwick Canoe stylee. Myself and a few other failures are planning on hitting top b with a vengence tomorrow.

We'll be meeting downstairs in the Sports Centre at 9:20 (gives you girlies plenty of time to get showered/do whatever else you may do in those changing room) so you can still have a paddle in the first part of the session if you please.

Just to clarify things for those less fortunate among us, this is happening tomorrow, Monday 12th, week 2, or week 12, or week 16. The time, 21:20, or 9:20pm.

You know where, when, how and why, so there's no excuse to miss out.

Over and Out

Dear all,

Those of you who didn't annihilate too many brain cells with festive celebration may remember ordering jackets back in the murky moral quagmire that was last term. If you did, please get a cheque for £40 made payable to UWSU to myself or Pete as soon as possible.

Jackets won't be given out until they've been paid for - so it's up to you.

All the best. Robb.

Afternoon folks,

For all of those paddles who are just coming around to the canoe way of life, your time has come! This is another chance for a white water trip at a more gentle level, complete with warm bunk house and kitchen!

!!!!THE REFRESHERS TRIP!!! Weekend week 3 leaving on Friday the 23rd January- and coming back Sunday 25th. Off to Sunny, but water filled Wales for a weekend of fun and high jinxes not to mention the some of the best rivers Britain has to offer.

And for those more experienced paddlers there maybe a chance to get some kayak stars under your belt, so keep your ears open. 

This will be a popular trip, and sign ups will open tomorrow 10.ish so have your fingers on those buzzers.

One last point, we will be having a Scotland tour at Easter, which is one of the many highlights of the canoe calendar year, and it is recommended that you have been on at least two paddling trips before hand, so for a few of you this is a good chance to get a trip under your belt in preparation for Scotland 2009!

See you on a river soon, and donÔÇÖt forget S-club 3┬áPJ score on Wednesday... (IÔÇÖm actually really excited!!)

Love Madi your esteemed president.
