Enjoy one week of your Easter break in style with the superb company offered by (us) the Warwick Canoe Club, DSCN1241.jpgnot only can you have that but also you can PADDLE! A trip in case you haven't guessed- to "Bonnie" Scotland. Lilley

ÔÇ£Hooray!!ÔÇØ I hear you cheer! Anyhows enough,

here are some facts:

 



How to sign up:

SIGN UP ONLINE (exclusively), do this at 7pm on Monday 29th January (week 4)
I hope this is fair warning for you all:)


Dates: 29th March until the 5th April ÔÇô 7nights
(Week 3 of the holiday)

 

Accommodation:
On the nights of 29th until the morning of the 2nd we stay a Rucksacks Braemar (this place has a sauna!!!)
then we follow on to the prestigious Linhe Lochside Caravan Park (where we stayed last year) between the night of the 4th and the morning of the 5th.

 

Cost:
The cost should be around £125, requiring:

NO OUTSTANDING DEBT TO THE CLUB- speak to Ben if this may be you?
A deposit of £70 paid before the 5th of February (a week after sign up opens), no negotiations BEWARE if this is unpaid your trip maybe lost to another member, competition is fierce!
A final instalment of £55 paid before the 5th March (Monday of week 9).

Bargainous

 


Am I good enough to come?
The Scotland tour isn't as such a beginners trip, basic competency on grade 2 really is a prerequisite: if you have been on a couple of trips this year then you have this! (even if you don't believe it) speak to the exec if you are worried about it.  If you haven't been on  at least a couple of trips then  talk to the boy who wears a Scarf.... and come to thursday sessions?

Hopefully these are were enough details to really get your teeth into! If there are any questions I assume they are silly- post here or email....

Sign up opens Monday 7pm
so be at a computer then (or thirty seconds after then) to avoid any unnecessary disappointment!

 

See you on Wednesday (tomorrow) for some ice skating frolics (7pm the Bar).

Final Ice Skating Details!!!!

As has been promised for the past few weeks, Ice Skating is finally happening this week!

Due to time slots open to the public, we will be going this Wednesday, 24th Jan, to the 20:00-22:00 slot. 

The cost of this will be £5 with a £1.50 skate hire fee.  We can waver the skate hire fee by turning up as a group of 15 or more so the more the merrier(this includeds housemates, friends, family and the chavs that shouted at you whilst you were waiting for the bus!)

Now onto the timings of everything!
The Bar: Meet 7:00pm
Coventry: Here is the link for Cov ice rink and where to find it   http://www.planet-ice.co.uk/arena.php?abrev=cov
If you would like to meet us there then arrive just before 8pm to find a queue just insde/outisde the door depending on number of people.

So as a final note, remember to wrap up warm and wear those thermals!

The mighty Pebble!


CANOE CLUB HIP FLASKS!

nelson_small.jpgEver been on a kayak trip and wanted that little boost of Dutch courage to do the next waterfall, wanted to relax, sit back and celebrate that meaty rapid you just ran perfectly with a swift swig of the hard stuffor just look swanky with a limited edition Warwick Canoe hip flask? Well nows your chance!

For the first time ever, we are offering you the opportunity to buy a Warwick Canoe 6oz Hip Flask for the VERY cheap price of £12.50 (and you get a choice of colours!)- they are usually £15- £20 + in shops.

The hip flasks will have a leather case which will be embossed with the Warwick Canoe logo. The choice of colours for the leather case is navy, green, tan, brown or black.

If you want one, the deadline for payment is FRIDAY WEEK 4. I will have an order form at the canoe and canoe polo sessions on week 3 and week 4 if you want to sign up and pay up (cheques to UWSU as usual).

Contact me with any questions, and please spread the word to all old gits!

Polo Goals

Posted by: Frodo

Parts of the polo goals are being re-altered.

One goal is currently mid-way through repair and probably wont be completed before tuesday - its NOT dangerous and shouldn't be any more likely to break than before (which it never did anyway) - but please BE CAREFUL when handling it. You WILL NOT get cut or anything, but there are "lumps in unusual places" ;-) around the bottom corners.

The other goal has not been started yet and is fine to use as normal. Hopefully it will be done during next week.

Polo Tournament TOMORROW (Saturday)

There is a Polo Tournament being held in Stratford on Avon tomorrow.

Warwick entered one team - you will already know if you are playing in that team.

However another team has now pulled out and the organisers (Birmingham Uni CC) are looking for extra players from which to build a "scratch" team.

Meeting at 3pm, Sports centre, returning tomorrow evening. Cost will be £4 (four), transport included.

Post here if interested in playing for this extra team.

The tournement is OPEN/MIXED.

ADVANCED Outdoor Activities First Aid

Dear all,

Following the success of last weekend's Outdoor Activities First Aid course, there is talk of an Advanced Outdoor Activities First Aid Course being organised. The weekend's course which just ran IS A PREREQUISITE.

While only a handful of people were able to go at the weekend just gone, I am sending this email to everyone because I don't know exactly who else would be eligible (ie people who did it before last weekend). If you have done it before, you will be eligable provided it was within the last 3 years.

However, the cost this time would not be free - the subsidised cost would be £115 [one hundred and fifteen] (a saving of £30) [thirty] providing all 12 places are filled.

Dates are not mentioned yet, but if you are interested and eligible [and have (or can beg, steal or borrow!) the money], please let me know so I can pass a list on to Gemma Morris.

Hi guys!

Sign uo for the week 3 trip is going up tomorrow (wednesday) at 12 noon.

The trip is aimed at beginners / intermediates and there may be opportunities to pass your 2*, so if you are intrerested make sure you sign up ASAP.

To summarise the details of the trip:

When = 26th-28th January (week 3), leaving friday evening and returning sunday evening

Where = Breacon Beacons in Wales

Cost =  We're staying in a bunkhouse but there will be limited spaces for camping so cost will be approx £20-£30 depending on whether or not you stay in the bunkhouse. I will sort these out once the sign-ups have been confirmed, but it will probably be first come first choice.

Cool, any questions feel free to email me. Hope to see you all at the social on wednesday and on the sign up list (hopefully the email system will have stopped being crap and you will actually get this).

See you soon,

Louise
