Hello,

If you have bought anything this academic year on behalf of the Canoe Polo Club (ie gaffa tape, contact adhesive etc, including vehicle fuel, but not including car parking) and you have not yet claimed the money back please get in touch with an exec member before tuesday afternoon (ideally Samantha). You definitley need to supply receipts (VAT receitps if fuel).

Sam is s.c.pilgram@warwick.ac.uk or 07969703643

6pm on tuesday is too late: this is when we will sorting out how much money we have left, and deciding what needs to be bought. This is 6 days away from now and should be plenty of time to get in touch.

This is th best and most relaxed trip of the year, straight after sports fed ball. Sun Sea Sand Surf Beer BBQ's and Boats - what more could you want??

After months of endless emails the hoodies are finally here! They're in the Resources room (which is upstairs in Union North if you're not sure) so you can go and pick them up from there.

Also if you haven't paid yet make sure you give a cheque to either Ben or me ASAP.

Another good year at the BUSAs, solidifying our place as a uni to be reckoned with:

Final BUSA Positions

Old Boys Gits 9th (last year 4th - perhaps a little disappointing from their point of view)

B Team 5th (last year 6th)

Ladies 7th (last year 7th)

Open 3rd (last year 3rd)

Well played to everyone who took part and made it very easy to organise; packing up at the end was very quick!

Special mentoin to the B Team - for playing without any substitutes and still managing to finish 5th. Golden-goals a-plenty for the ladies, with at least two games being won at the death. Mens A thought they'd do it the hard way - rather than settle things with a golden goal - they took their 1/4 Final to penalties!

BOAT CLEANING TOMORROW

All BUSA people at the sports centre at 6.30 to clean boats before "training" please.

if anyone has any time free on mon/tues days/evenings this week and is at uni (and is slightly technically minded) your help would be immensely appreciated with finishing off fixing boats. in earlsdon.

blood, sweat and many many days have gone into the work - literally - from G, Stu and myself, but in order to be able to use them at the busas they need to be finished by tuesday absolute latest (so they can cure in time).

if you are able to help please please please say so, or we will be leaving boats behind on friday, meaning more games in plastics.

simple as that.

Doggy Paddle- 13th May (Sunday end of week 3)
Anyone up for it? The club did it 3 years ago and it sounded like a laugh (and a good break from a pretty intense term). Basically, it's a relaxed paddle for charity with lots of other kayakers that goes around Warwick Castle at one point. People could take whatever boats they wanted and swop with other people whenever cos it's not exactly hardcore whitewater! (anyone up for the duo or the open canoe?). As there won't be many trips next term except for the surf trip (that's KAYAK surf for all you freshers!) and maybe a few nene/ nottingham trips, i can't think of a better way to spend a summer's day.
Few extra details: entry is £7, it starts at 10am on the River Leam, and oh yes... it's 19 miles. But don't let that put you off- a little bit of distance should never stop a good day's paddling!

The oppertunity to be sitting within the proximity of Paul Merson is approaching so hang on to your seats becasue sports fed ball is approaching!
PAUL WHO? more to the point! However, the Sports Fed ball is an excellent way to finish the year among friends and a night Id definately recomend, there is allways a large contigent  of Kayakers/Polo players and we  try to get as many tables together as possible. It is the day before the legendary surf trip and makes an excellent prelude to the sunny beach of St Davids!
It is the one night in the year that a few of us bother to look vaguely smart, an incentive in itself! Feel free to browse the photos from last year and check out the surf trip while you are there!

Dates:   Sat 23rd of June

You can purchase your tickets online now and they do tend to sell out, although pricey it is a great night and a good way to say goodbye to those joining the real world!
