Warwick 'Friendly' Tournament
Has there been any particular person that has been pissing you off this term? Well, here comes your chance for revenge! Next tuesday (week 10) warwick will be holding another 'friendly' tournament! For those of you who are new to the club or missed out on the carnage of term three last year, the friendly tournament is held just between members of our club during a normal session with the winning team having bragging rights for all eternity!
If you are interested in taking part in this carnage post below. The teams will be made primarily from the people who post below, with any extras on the night thrown onto teams as subs and will not be guarenteed a place (you have had fair warning people!). Fear not those of you who quail at the thought of facing off against a fully fledged A team, the players will be seeded and divided up evenly between the teams (last time around it was so even the first 4 games all ended 2-2!)
So dust off those knuckledusters and sign yourself up for an evening of revenge!

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAL ALE!!!!!
The Ale fest is appon us once more my fellow shipmates, slightly sooner than usual which is fabtastic!
If you have never been to an ale festival, you are soon to witness one of the greatest rituals man kind has ever partaken in. Some say it was not man but God himself that came up with the idea to stuff a room full of sweaty students, enough good beer to sink the Kursk and a filthy crowd of Dorset peasants, but all you need to know is that Doors open at 1800hrs next thursday night in the Tempory Events Structure. Getting there early is strongly recomended as ques are likely.
Entertainment will be served in gargantuan portions by the one and only Dr Busker. Said by some to be the last Victorian pianist, Dr. Busker is something of a canoe club tradition and a personal hero of mine. Seriously good fun.
If you are not a fan of Real Ale there are a selection of Ciders on sale, so everyone is catered for!
In the words of the legendry Busker himself "We're gona meet in the tent!"

Coaching
Hi everyone
hope youve all recovered froman epic night at score
Next monday we will be teaching bracing in the shallow end of the pool for those who would like to learn, so if your fed up of going upside down whenever you get pushed in polo, or go slightly off balance then this is the place to be, we are also saying that people should at least understand bracing before they try and learn to roll as it just makes life so much easier.
We're setting up a coaching rota,so if you would like to coach on a monday please email me, and please leave the coaching to those who are on the rota.
Thanks, see you on monday

Be there or be a considerably less rounded person.

Pre Warwick Tournament Warmup
Right guys,
I'm sure most of you are aware that there is some form of polo tournament going on tomorrow. In order to prepare mentally (and physically) for it, we are going to get lashed in the union tonight!
This is no ordinary occasion, as it is a 70's/80's themed time tunnel, with a special guest of none other than Verne Troyer (yes, mini me from Austin Powers, I can already smell your excitement).
Loads of old gits will be appearing tonight, as well as a couple of Brummies, so I'm certain it will be a night of epic proportions. Doors open at 9, so I imagine canoeists will be there in the hundreds draped in colourful garments from 9:30 or so.
Filling in for a currently occupied Mr. Blackmore
Peace and love, peace and love

Bath beginner's Tournament
Bath university will once again be holding their beginner's tournament, this year on the 29th September (Saturday end of week nine).
It's a great opportunity for those who are new to the sport to play a first competitive tournament against other beginners.
It's an event that Warwick did very well at last year!
Sign-up will be available online very shortly.
Jackets with Extra Snazzy.
Good day, loyal subjects. Some of you new members of the club may have noticed a few of the older, grumpier types stalking around campus in extremely slick and sexy black jackets with 'Warwick Canoe' emblazoned in shiny lettering across the back.
Feeling left out?
Feeling wet?
Feeling cold and windswept?
Feeling sexually humiliated?
Well, a new batch of jackets available soon (as long as you promise to buy them) can help with all but the last of those problems.
If you are interested in buying your first Warwick Canoe jacket (and I heartily recommend them), or buying a spare in case something terrible should happen, please let me know by either emailing or posting on the site. We should have them before the Christmas hols, when they will be of great use in keeping your nipples attached.

Fireworks
The traditional fireworks social is apon us!
The plan is simple... as usual. Meet at the bus stop at 1915hrs if you are coming from campus, otherwise find your way to my house in Leam for 2000hrs. This is happening next Thursday, week 7 [13th]. Please bring £5 to go towards the pyrotechnics, and bring some boose if you are that way inclined.
There is scope for a visit to Kelsey's and maybe even Evolve afterwards if people are up for it.
My address: 16 camberwell terrace, off Radford road. If you need further directions ring me. 07891822891
It has been deemed necissary for a second social sec to be appointed. I have been asked to bring this to your attention by the powers that be so that they can arrange an election some time towards the end of term. If you are interested in running, or want to suggest someone you think maybe suitable, talk to an exec member from either club.
