The time is approaching for all you budding exec members to start thinking about what you want to run for.

Yes, the elections are nearly upon us. Thursday week 10 will witness a new elite team elected to head the canoe and canoe polo clubs next year. Your current social secs will inform you of the details very soon, but it is certainly a social not to be missed, even if you don't want to run for a position. It's not just about the elections but it also a good old knees up and meal with tons of the club members there to reminisce about the year gone by.

For now here's a list of the positions up for grabs.

Canoe Club:

• President
• Secretary
• Treasurer
• Coach
• Kit Sec
• Tour Sec

Canoe Polo club:

• President
• Secretary
• Treasurer
• Coach
• Kit Sec
• League Sec *New for 2007-2008*

Joint positions:

• 2 x Social secs
• Webmonkey

If you would like more details about what each each position entails have a look at the following link,   http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/execpositions/ , alternatively ask any member of the exec for the low down of their role in running the club.

What you have to do at the elections:

1. Say a poem / sing a song
2. Tell a joke

Its as simple as that, so get your thinking caps on.

If you would like to run please email either president@warwickcanoe.co.uk or president@polo.warwickcanoe.co.uk  stating which position you would like to run for. You can also run on the night but if you know you want to run for now please email.

Good luck to all of you who run.

Next weeks polo session (Tuesday 13th March) will have some time devoted to a taster session for Sports Week.  As such, this will mean that there will be less time for last minute training before the BUSAs.

As a result of this, we will be concentrating primarily on the BUSA teams (Mens A and B, and Ladies A) at this evenings session.  This does not mean to say that you should not come along if you are not in the BUSA squad - just expect that you may have a little less game time than usual.

We will also be running a training session for BUSA teams ONLY on the Friday morning before we leave for BUSA.  This session will run from 10am-12pm on Friday 20th March in the Main Campus Pool.  This is likely to mean that you will have to return to Warwick slightly earlier following the Easter break than you may have intended.  Please make every effort to attend if you are able.  Just to reiterate, the BUSAs are the weekend of the 20th-22nd March, which is the weekend BEFORE the Summer Term starts.

My apologies for the short notice.

Ahoi!
If anyone could come along to the pool tomorrow at like 4.30pm and give me a hand with taping over paddles that'd be much appreaciated. We certainly need some people to help take boats down and set up goals at 5.15pm before sports centre shuts at 5.30pm. I recon you'd even deserve shotguning kit for your first game! Let know... and now off to Ale heheyey

I'm going to be ordering the Canoe Club hoodies this week. The back will be printed with the design as above. The front will have a small logo embroidered on the left and then whatever you want as your name/nickname embroidered on the right. They will be £24 and you can choose from olive, black, ash, navy or chocolate. They\'re the same make of hoodies as last year which as far as I know everyone thinks are really good quality.

If you want one you need to email me by Thursday evening. I\'m going to put the order in early Friday morning so I won\'t be able to order one for you if you miss this deadline. Basically in your email tell me what size and colour you want and what you want embroidered as your name. Then you need to put a cheque to UWSU for £24 in the envelope on the club noticeboard (upstairs in Union North) also by Thursday.

Email me if you\'ve got any questions.

Elections for Sports Fed Committee are coming, if anyone's even vaguely interested i'd recommend you go for it- it's only voted on by Union Council so an eye- catching manifesto showing you've actually played sports while you've been here should get you a place (and you don't have to do any campaigning)! It's not as boring as the title sounds, basically you get to oversee all sports at Warwick and have a bit of influence in how they're all run.
The committee meets once a week to organise the KPMG leagues, Sports Week, and Sports Fed Ball, etc.
The good bits:
You get free entry to the Varsity Match  (Rugby: Coventry vs Warwick, week 10- and you get to sit in a box and drink wine :-) ) and Score week 10 (featuring hte Vengaboys this year), and free entry to the Sports Fed Ball next year.
How to stand:
To stand all you have to do is go to this page, scroll down to "Committee Elections" and click "Stand in Election." Print out the form and take it to the Democratic Services Officer in Union North before 12pm Wednesday THIS WEEK.

If anyone's got any questions just ask me.
