Wild Water Racing!
Ok folks the time has come again to show the other universities of England that we are indeed a force to be reckoned with.
Yes thatÔÇÖs right the BUCS WWR party is upon us!... (and the oh course the little matter of a bit of racing!) We'll be back off to Yorkshire to brave the mighty Washburn again, and everyone is welcome! The last few years we've had a really great trip, lots of fun and banter with other uni's and of course an awesome river.
Now donÔÇÖt let the words BUCS Racing scare you,┬áeveryone is welcome we┬ádonÔÇÖt take it┬áseriously and everyone┬áwho finishes gets a point for the uni and for our team. We are more about the socialising and general fun, the┬áWashburn is an awesome┬áriver and there will be safety, and┬áhelp on hand┬áfor those who prefer to swim down.
Ok this┬áAdventure is taking place weekend week 8,┬á21st-23rd of November, and the reason IÔÇÖm pestering you soo early as because it is BUCS┬áwe need to register┬áall our athletes and enter them in their races. And good news because it is BCUS,┬áWarwick Sport will pay a good deal of the trip┬áso will be megar-ly discounted! Sign up is open now!
There are different categories so if you want to come you need to email me at president@warwickcanoe.co.uk what you want to compete in and your uni no.
There is men and womenÔÇÖs sprint, (K1/C1/C2)
Men and womenÔÇÖs WWR (K1/C1/C2)
The Team event (3 people)
And the open event for all of those aspirant croco-kayaks and non students.
Most people do the WWR and the sprint and we will make up the teams from all those who enter, so what are you waiting for, go and sign up! Sign up closes next Friday so don't waste any time!
Your lovely President,

(I will send an email to all those going with more useful times next week!) We are off to the Brecon Beacons for an spot of white water paddling, and just a bit of socialising!(Whoop!)
It should be a great trip and really useful if you want to be paddling the 'gnarl' by the end of the year! Dont worry if you have never looked at a river before, we will kind and patient and generally wonderful. (Or will at least try!)
We will mostly be staying in a bunkhouse, so nice and warm and dry, thou if any freshers dont mind camping send me an email. For those of you non-freshers we will be camping!
Its going to be cold so lots of warm clothes required! http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/tripkit/

I will open sign up at around 11 oclock tomorrow, (places will go fast so fingers on the buzzers the link is on the left hand side of the website under trips or follow the blue writing below http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/ )

HI-VIS SCORE!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I proudly present to you our first social of the new term!
The plan is to attend Score week 2, this coming wednesday. Meet in the big tent thing at 1900hrs(7pm), I will hopefully have found a space for us. The union theme is a Pajama Party, but I thought it would be a good idea to do something a little different. Our fancy dress is going to be Hi-Vis themed. So you can wear anything that is fluorescent, glittery or just dazzlingly, brightly coloured. I bet Madi is thinking all her Christmas's have come at once! At least if we get separated on the dance floor it'll be easy to find each other again.
It's going to be a night to remeber so start sorting out those costumes. I hope to see lots of you at the pool sessions early next week. Any queeries, send me an email or talk to me at a pool session.
Happy Paddling
Matt

Outdoor Activities First Aid
Hi all,
Just to let you know that there is a free first aid course running over the weekend of week 2 at the university aimed at clubs like ours.  It is very well run and gives a good grounding in first aid in the outdoor and possibly extreme environment... and it is free.
If you would like to attend please email or go and see Gemma Moris at the warwick sport office upstairs in the sports centre.  Hurry there are only a couple of spaces left.  Let her know what club you are from (say Canoe even if you are mainly Polo) and that i have mentioned it to you.

Leam Trip
Hi everyone
Hope you've all had a brilliant freshers week, and if you are a fresher have enjoyed your first sessions with us.
We're going to be running a trip to the river leam on sunday 12th October, this will be primarily for freshers to the club or those who did not go on a trip last year. It'll be a good chance to get some practice on a real, though slow moving river, there will be several coaches and we'll be teaching you some useful skills  for future trips, and ready to answer questions.
We'll be meeting at a still to be confirmed time (probably around 9) at the bus stop near the union, and then getting a bus into leamington. Bring with you swimming shorts, clothes and SHOES  to get wet,  dry clothes, towel and either lunch or money to buy lunch in leamington, we'll provide you with everything else. It will take as long as you guys want it to take and we'll probably go to the pub after.
Sign up is NOW OPEN, to sign up look on the left at the canoe section, click on trips and then select the trip you want (in this case leam trip) then sign up.
Any questions email me or post on the forum at www.warwickcanoe.co.uk, your name and password is the same as your warwick sport one.
Hope to see loads of new faces there
Einstein

Ok folks we thought we would take advantage of the lack of work at the beginning of term and venture out to Top B after the pool session on monday,
There is a sports club only Top B being held in Tempo the new Night club on campus, so we shouldnt have to worry about those pesky Top B queues! And still only a £1 a pint! Be great to see as many of you there as possible!
