North Wales Intermediate Trip - Week 9
Hi everyone,
Signup is now open for our North Wales intermediate trip. End of week 9 (Friday 30th November --> Sunday 1st December)
It's an intermediate trip to an as yet undecided location in North Wales, with the possibility of camping/bunking - still looking for suitable accommodation.
This trip is open to anyone who is confident in their ability to brace - if you are not sure, talk to an exec member at a pool session/whenever. They will be able to help. We will be doing some more challenging rivers than on previous trips (weather permitting).
Details to follow when I know what's going on...

Scarfs and friends talk on kayaking abroad in pretty dam impressive places
Firstly, yes his name is SCARF not chris eastabrook! So SCARF had an amazing summer of paddling in Tibet (lucky bastard) and is going to share the expereince with Warwick university and many other paddlers. There will also be presentations from two other experienced travellers who have seen and paddled alot of rivers. I believe it is Tom Parker and David Fairweather who you can probably google. Should be a nice friendly social and an oppertunity to see that kayaking is not restricted to a scrapy river usk in south wales, Ive seen the photos from the trip and they are pretty impressive. So heres the plan
WHERE:
WHEN: Thursday 29th November
TIME:  7:30 till 10:00pm
What to bring: Scarfs
Should be a wicked social, Im personally looking forward to it, and I may even remember it!
cheers

Something new...
Hmmm.... what shall we do for our next social... I know (mostly to shut madi up) Lets Go LaserQuest!
We're aiming to get there for about 3.40, so we can play at 4, its in Cov, road called Hales St, which is not too far from the West Orchards shopping centre. I haven't booked a slot, so it doesn't matter if we're later/earlier than planned. The games should cost a little less than 4 pounds if we have the whole arena to ourselves, or £4 on the dot if we dont. Then its really up to us how many games we have :-) The one sore point is that the centre can only take a maximum of 28 people, so can you post on the forum to let me know if your coming or not :-) It shouldn't be a problem though! We'll probably meet in the bar, as usual, about 3.40-4.00 pm ish, but I'll let you know proper tiumes sooner the time!
Happy Shooting

Seal Launching
Hi guys
Im afraid we've been told by the pool staff that we're no longer allowed to seal launch into the pool as we are apparently damaging the tiles on the edge of the pool. I know this is really annoying, but we should do as theyve asked until they change their minds.

throwing practise
Hello, hello.
Nicky has booked the activities room in the Sports Centre at 11am tomorrow, i.e. Thursday, for us to have a little throwing practise. Anyone feel free to come along really, guys as well, and especially anyone going to the Beginners tournament.
The pitch at the weekend will be much bigger than what you're used to, so you might at times wish you could throw further and accurate passes will be essential. We'll probably also go over a few other things, like how you best block balls with your paddles, and some rules that you might have questions about.
Do come along if you're free at that hour.

Thursday coaching
Starting from next week, and continuing into term 2 the thursday 3-4 pool session will be specifically for coaching, we will cover basic 2 star skills among others, in the hope of organising a 2 star test next term. So please only come to the thursday session if you want to be coached, if you want to coach get in touch with me at coach@warwickcanoe.co.uk. The monday session is still for anybody, so if you want to go and play then you can and if your a fresher just looking for some practice and advice then just ask someone and im sure theyll be willing to help. Next Thursdays session will probably be T-rescues for those of you who haven't done it yet, or low and high braces if you have.
see you all tomorrow
