THE LIST of socials....
Allright guys here is a little low down on the social front for the comming weeks, may it bring you great joy and liver pains:
MONDAY 18th FEB: Mr Blackmore will be giving us a guided tour of his beloved home. TOP BANANA, this will happen post canoe and will be huge but detrimental to your health
THURSDAY 28th FEB:  REAL ALE SOCIAL with guest DOCTOR BUSKER. This  will be an amazing night, maybe the best night of your life.  Hopefully get you all on  the guest list for easy entry (wait for Robert's sexual inuendo). This evening consists of drinking large quantities of fine ale and singing to a legendary band, finally you will be ambushed by people less drunk than you with marker pens. Of course, like all socials you dont have drink
WEEK 8/10 ELECTIONS: Most likely to be on the thursday in Robbins well, there are rumours of kareoke to finish the evening, further details to follow....
cheers all

Cardiff Tournament
Hey guys,
I've created a sign up for the Cardiff tournament. It's happening at the same weekend as rodeo i.e. week 9 (8th-9th March). Cardiff was described as a great party by people who went last year. It's also going to be valuable pre-BUSA experience, as the tournament is outdoors (just like BUSA - 11th-13th April), and playing outdoors is very different. It will then be followed by a party.
I'll get more details to you closer to the time, as at the moment it seems Cardiff have not got very far with the organisation. But please sign up as I need to have an idea of how many teams we're looking at how we're doing with drivers.
Cheers,
Signe

Refreshers Trip!
You may have been noticing a distinct lack of trips this term, sorry! (Blame polo! boo!)  But fear not we shall be back to business starting with a Refreshers trip week6 15th-17th of February. This trip is primarily based at... you guessed it, freshers, it's another chance to get you up to scratch for the almighty Scotland tour over Easter, (which to come on, you need to have been on at least 1 river trip). We will hopefully be staying in a bunkhouse, more details to follow closer to the time. Sign up will be up tomorrow lunch time http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/, so mouses at the ready!!
Bristol details
We'll be meeting at 1pm outside Sports Centre this Saturday to head to conquer Bristol.
There are still as many spaces as you please for this tournament, but I need to know asap please if you're considering joining the current crew of me, Rachel, Noj, Dom, Adam, Carver, Dunphy and Ben. We've entered two open teams, that are guaranteed at least 4 games each and we could easily do with a few more people in fact.
I've been told we'll be fed on the poolside, so that we can head to party straight after.. ?? (Bristol are clearly preparing to party hard...) so please let me know if you're a veggi so I can tell them. The tickets for the party with the other teams (who name themselves anything from Ninja Marmots to Chainsaw Dolphins!) will be 4 pounds each. Mandatory fancy dress I've been told is Heroes & Villains.
We'll sleep at people's houses (or who knows where really..) so take a sleeping bag. On Sunday morning we've been invited for a fry up. We should be back at Warwick in the afternoon, but will see from people's preferences, maybe it's all too good and we decide to say another day... (I'm joking.)

National Student Rodeo
Hi everyone,
The entries for the National Student Rodeo close on 7th Feb, so I need to know who wants to go by the end of this Friday please. Details of the event can be found here. There is also a Facebook group with photos from last year here.
We have never been as a club before, but some people went last year, so ask them what it was like. As far as I know it is a freestyle event at Nottingham white water course, with a party. I am guessing a bit like BUSA Salom, but instead of going between the poles, you have to do tricks (and the water is more exciting).
The club will either go to this or run a river trip for this weekend, depending on demand, so:
 - if you desperately want to go to Rodeo, post on the forum and say so.
 - if you desperately want to go to on a river trip, post on the forum and say so. The hardness of the trip will depend on who signs up.
 - if you want to go on some kind of trip that weekend but are not fussed which, post on the forum and say so, and I will sign you up for whichever trip is chosen.
The club will organise and subsidise the trip for which there are most people signed up for (on the forum) on Friday Morning, and anyone left out can organise themselves based on who posted on the forum and doesn't want to go on the club trip.
This will hopefully lead to happiness all round, since everyone will get what they want.
