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.

Polo rashvests
We'll at some point be ordering personalised polo rashvests, and need to come up with a design! They should be really really cool. The company can really do a lot. They made Bath rashvests, whoever remembers.. (they had the yellow "paddle hard... play harder..." logo on bright blue)
We want to come up with a Warwick polo logo to be put on the back, then something to be written on the front and on the upper arm. Suggestions?
Coulourwise I'd go with black and white, just so we don't end up like a complete rainbow colour selection seeing that probably not everyone will want to get them (yet I'd strongly suggest that everyone likely to venture the busas do). Also sticking to two colours is cheeper, so I've heared.
That's the http://www.splatterandchatter.co.uk for the company for whoever is curious.
Trips this Term
Welcome back everyone,
In store for you this term is:
- Week 3 - BUSA Slalom. Tell me asap if you have a sudden urge to sign up for this.
- Week 6 - Refreshers Trip. To an as yet undisclosed location, suitable for beginners.
- Week 7 - A hard river/surf trip depending on levels.
- Week 9 - Potential trip to the National Student Rodeo (or a river trip, depending on levels/demand).
There is also the Nene trip rearrangement to look forward to, and our mighty Easter Scotland Tour, which is open to anyone, lasts a week, and will be immense in every way. To enjoy the experience to its fullest, you should have been on a river, so try and come to some trips before then. Also, it is highly reccomended that if you are going on the Scotland Tour, you should consider buying a dry cag - talk to someone who has one if you are unsure.
Don't forget also the hectic social calender including: Ice Skating, Score and Elections.
I hope to see you all soon.
