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.

Exciting news!

WeÔÇÖve been invited to Cardiff University polo tournament which will be taking place on 24^th and 25^th March. This is the weekend of the 1^st week into Easter holidays. WeÔÇÖd have to be leaving on Friday. ItÔÇÖs a two day outdoor tournament so excellent pre-BUSA practice!

There is apparently a massive Dirty Disney themed party in their union on Saturday. Cost is 15quid per player, including accommodation with breakfast and entrance to Saturday party (although Frodo will see if some of it can be subsidized, and tell you soon about transport cost).

Please post here if you will be around and would like to come! ItÔÇÖs open to everyone. At the moment IÔÇÖve got a form that lets us enter up to 3 teams (A, B and Ladies), but IÔÇÖll phone up and check tomorrow. They need to receive the form with numbers and payment by end of Feb though, so do post now if you are interested, and there will be more details soon.

Due to being a lazy social sec i have suggested a quiet pint or two at the pub before either hitting the dance floor of evolve or passing outin a street gutter outside viallis after closing.  Which ever way if any would care to join me i will be in the jug and jester in leamington, prob from around 8:30ish. 

Hope to see someone else there otherwise its a slow fall to being an official alcoholic!

Saturday 3rd of March - Getting steeper

The rivers youÔÇÖve started to paddle are getting steeper and youÔÇÖre still not quite sure what a boof is? The aim of the day is to develop some core concepts to allow you to develop your paddling style on more demanding rapids.

Well that's what the blurb says anyway, A day on a venue suitable for the group and prevailing weather, working with Myself and Tom Laws, developing the skills needed to run more technically demanding sections of white water. This is offered at no cost to you guys.

Sunday 4th of March - Progressive White Water

Class II ÔÇô easy ÔÇô its time to move on and push yourself on more challenging rivers than before. We wonÔÇÖt just be running down rivers but going back and looking at ourselves, the water and how we interact with it ÔÇô empowering you to place yourself anywhere on the river, giving you the necessary skills to be truly a class III paddler.

Or taken out of management speak, you are happy cruising down grade 2/3, and are looking to improve your technique, to get yourself making every eddy, and truly working the rapids. Again working with me and Tom Laws, and again offered at no cost par petrol and a beer!

The aim is for these to run parallel to the club trips on those days. Places are limited to 3 people on each day, so if you can let me know if you are interested, that would be most excellent!

Sign up online if you are free, those who have already signed up the days have been designed around you to a certain extent again both days starting and finising on campus or my house!

Cheers

Chris and Tom

A great deal of us are heading to Nene a week on Wednesday.  You should have all got the email from Ben asking for money - it's only £9 pay before we go.

The plan is to meet at the Sport Centre at 1230 and we shall start the general faff that is required to take the club anywhere!

We shall get there in time to get on the water as soon as the pumps turn on and stay for 2 hrs and then head back to campus.

You will need your normal boating equipment so shoes, wetsuit, cag, warm jumper thermals etc bring a set of warm set of clothes to change into afterwards & they have nice showers and changing rooms.  No doubt we shall head to the bar afterwards for stories i.e. my swim was worse than yours!

Any problems ring me

Chris

PS there would be a cool picture in this post but the website is being gay...

Don't forget to come to Coaching on Thursday Session, this week the focus is on moving sideways and the coaching team will be headed up by Noj and Rich 'Einstein'.

The last session was week was lots of fun, everyone learnt something including those sat on the side and a few people found it actually useful on the river.

This image has nothing to do with coaching or the pool but is here to get your attention.

The time is here, Im scared and my liver is trying to emmigrate to a muslim country where alchool is illegal, if you havnt guessed by now, Pub Golf is upon us!
Pubs + Golf rules =  (some one else will have to tell me becasue I cant remember anything from last year). It is one of the best socials of the year and you dont have to drink (as long as you dont mock me or Nicky in the morning), but you wont be in contention for the title of Warwick Canoe Pub Golf champion. Heres the deal:

When:    thursday week  6   starting in the  graduate  at 7

Where: start on campus  then we shall be heading to Earlsdon and the many pubs it has to offer

Finish: ............ Who knows but lots of buses back to campus and floors to sleep in

Fancy dress:   ITs crazy its mad its mmmm Golf themed! SO whack out those tweed shorts, Flat caps and polo shirts and get ready for a calm peacful night

ask any old people about the rules if ou are not sure and check out last years pictures

cheers

TV and Nicky
on the behalf  of that $%#@ Pebble
