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).

Sorry if this sounds a bit vague, but the nature of a trip will depend heavily on how much it rains before it, so we cannot plan them so far in advance.

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.

PS If you have ordered a jacket, but not picked it up yet, it is waiting in the Warwick Sport Office, at the top of the Sports Centre.

Right guys I hope everybody had a good christmas and new years, (dont ask Greg's knee) just thought Id give you dates and info on this terms socials so that all can prepare:

1) THE LEGENDARY PUB GOLF: Will you gain the title of Warwick canoe pub golf champion, lets see if the baron can put his money where his mouth is! ITs simple, a glorified pub crawl in which you can win holes (pubs) by drinking a variety of drinks. You dont have to compete and be an alcholic, all are welcome. The theme for this years pub golf will be hats, this could range from firemens hats to anything but the more random the better and home made ones are allways the best.
WHEN: next thursday 17 Jan
WHERE: Get to the grad for 7.30, we will end up in earlsdon, the home of pub golf

Hi Everyone,

The entry deadline for BUSA Slslom is this Thursday Morning. I need to know who wants to go ASAP.
Please sign up on the website, and if you are in a slalom division, please e-mail me. I will enter everyone who signs up before then into M/WK1 (kayak individual) and also into teams if the numbers are right.

BUSA Slalom is where you have to make it down an artificial white water course as fast as possible, whilst going between pairs of coloured poles, and trying not to hit them.
The trip is open to everyone, and the water is no harder than on any of the trips we've been on this term (except the Leam). All the other universities will be there, and there is a party, so it should be fun!
Please sign up NOW, otherwise you will not be guaranteed a place.

Sorry for the late notice everyone.
