Merry Christmas and next term

Hi guys!

Just to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hope you all enjoy the holiday break and come back in January ready for more canoeing action.

 We've got a lot lined up for you, running 3/4 weekend trips next term (likely to the weekends of weeks 3,5,7 and 9)  including more rivers, slalom and surfing, so make sure you keep an eye on your emails and on the website to find out about sign up for these. We'll also be offering those of you who want it opportunities to pass your 2* and start training people up on 3*. Hopefully we'll also be running some more day trips for people to practice their skills.

All of this will build up to the much anticipated Easter tour to Scotland, which is simply unmissable and a definite highlight of the year.  

Off the water we've also got loads of plans, from ice skating, pub golf, and the canoe clubs very own barn dance social, plus loads more.  So there's something for everyone to get involved with next term.

Once again, enjoy the holidays, see you in 2007!

As the days get shorter and the end of term approaches, it is that time of year again for the annual Christmas Dinner!!  This will be taking place on Wednesday Week 10 (6th December)!

Once again we will be going to the Farmhouse in Coventry for the event.  In order to make the night run smoothly and allow enough time to get back to the union for sash at score we need you to pre-order your food. 

So if you could go to their online list (http://www.pub-explorer.com/h&h/mainmenuA.pdf) and select a starter/main course/pudding (you do not have to have all three) and then email it to pebble@warwickcanoe.co.uk

before Friday 5pm that would be perfect.

Your merry social sec,

Nicky
