Bath Beginners Tournament

Gruess Gott (as in hi...),

There is very very exciting news - spaces for two teams have been confirmed and I've had a trip sign up created on www.warwickcanoe.co.uk for the University of Bath Beginners Canoe Polo Tournament.

It's all happening next Sunday 18th November. We'll be leaving campus very early on Sunday to be in Bath by 9am (should I have said this?) and be back 10pmish.

They define a Beginner as someone who's been paddling for less than a year and has not played in polo tournaments before. So if that's you, go, sign up! This is the perfect tournament opportunity and you'll get lots of games in a 50m pool! If it's somewhat like you and you look beginnerish you too will qualify.

If you are one of the rather experienced lot, still sign up if interested in coming, however we can only have one experienced player on the pitch at any time and I'll give priority to minibus drivers and team captains, and then see if there still is spaces.

Please sign up asap and by next Tuesday. If you haven't mastered the warwickcanoe website yet and need help e-mail me to tell you'd be interested to come to the tournament and e-mail webmonkey@warwickcanoe.co.uk with questions regarding your login.

See you all at polo hopefully today and on Friday,
Signe

Hi everyone,

The Tyne Tour signup will go up this Wednesday, at 11am (or thereabouts). The trip is at the end of week 5 (2-4 November). Details will follow nearer the time.

This is a great trip, and very popular. We paddle a section of the Tyne, along with many many other people, on Saturday, and camp with other unis on the river bank in Hexham. In the evening there is a ceilidh/huge party. We then paddle another river on the Sunday. Just ask anyone who's been before what they thought of it.

Sign up quick to avoid disappointment!

Canoe Polo Rules Course

Posted by: Latvia
Dear all,

there will be an "Introduction to the Rules of Canoe Polo" course for both people new to sport and those who would like a refresher of the rules held *next Tuesday before polo at 6pm in S1.66*. This is a room in Social Studies building, meet me 5.50pm in Piazza if you fancy a walk there together.

If you would like to attend, please drop Matt an e-mail (M.C.Gill@warwick.ac.uk, very nice guy who'll be holding the course), just so he knows the numbers.

The course is very advisable and especially advisible considering that we'll be holding several tournaments this term and you'll all have chances to play!

Provisional tournament dates for your diary:

10th November - West Midlands tournament (Sign up will go up next week. Would be great if you could make this considering half the club will be BUSA white water racing. Don't worry if you've never played, first time for everything! I swam numerous times on my first tournament, couldn't paddle straight, but look at me now.. :P)

18th November - Bath Beginners Tournament (our entry yet to be confirmed, more info to follow)

25th November - own organised Warwick Autumn Tournament (Mens B and Ladies B-teams open to everyone who'd fancy a game)

Thus, conclusion, rules come in handy, e-mail Matt.

First Aid courses

Posted 17y 1mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Latvia
Warwick Sport are organizing the following:

On Thursday 18th October at 4pm in the Westwood Lecture Theatre - Outdoor Activities Risk Seminar. 
 
On Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th November - Outdoor Activity First Aid Course from 9-5pm in the Cryfield Pavilion.

These are typically reserved for exec members, but I'm trying to get an extra space for anyone who might be interesed in doing them, prefereably someone about to be with the clubs for another couple of years i.e. not finalists.

Especially the weekend course is a valuable experienced, very professionally taught, gives you a 3 year certificate as a First Aider, who can work for the Sports Centre at various events etc., and it'd normally cost a fortune.

I can't guarantee that you'll actually be able to do it, but e-mail me (s.groza@warwick.ac.uk) if you're interested!

State full name, year you're in, phone nr and which one of the courses interests you. Will let ya then know whether you have a place.

Posted by: Fingers
Sorry for the unexpected closure of signups for the Freshers trip and the Leam trip. These signups are now open again.

There are still one or two spaces on the Leam trip if anyone wants to come. Details will follow soon.
The Freshers trip is full, but if you are a fresher, priority may still be given to you if you sign up now.

And just for clarification:
Please note that, in general, you will only have a space reserved on a trip if your signup is shown as "confirmed". If for any reason you cannot come on a trip, please tell us as early as possible so that we can give your place to someone else.
