Hi all,

ULU are organising a Polo Tournament for the 21st/22nd October (end of week 3).

Games (on a lake, none of this swimming pool lark) all saturday afternoon, BBQ sat night, then games all day sunday. The weekend will run in the format of two separate leagues, both OPEN as not enough ladies teams showed initial interest.

Transport will of course be sorted, and camping like the BUSAs etc etc.

The only slight complication is that teh Freshers Canoe Trip is planned for the same weekend, so a fair few people will be tied up in that unfortunately. So, before we enter (hopefully 2 teams) we need to sort out who will be available (this cannot realistically include freshers as the entries need to be in very soon after freshers fayre.)

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLAY PLEASE SIGN UP ON THE WEBSITE, ON THIS THREAD.

to save confusion, PLEASE ONLY CONFIRM YES/NO IN THIS NEWS ITEM - ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE START A NEW THREAD in the forum - that way its easy to keep track of who can go...

Grand. See you soon,

Frodo

I have put two versions of the Scotland DVD online - both can be found in the Scotland album. The first is the full version (slightly censored), the second is a paddling and dancing-only version (suitable for showing your parents).

I've just done an inventory of the club kit, and it seems there is quite a bit missing. I'm hoping that this kit is currently being borrowed, rather that it having been stolen.

As such, could anyone who is currently borrowing any club kit email me/post and let me know - this includes wetsuits you 'forgot' to bring back, club straps in your car etc.

This is very important. If I find that anyone is borrowing any kit and hasn't told me I will start breaking kneecaps, and not just those of the offender - think of the children. It is also possible that any offenders may be locked in a West-county shit-house and/or publicly shat on.

Last day of term tomorrow. Woo. As pebble seems to be lying unconscious in a pool of vomit on the floor at the moment, it falls upon me to inform you that we are meeting at 2pm at Varsity for some lunch and goodbyes before venturing forth into the summer (or the real world, for some).

At this event I will also be distributing copies of the Scotland Tour 2006 DVD, as seen at the premiere on Saturday. These will be available at £1 each to cover costs.

See you there,

OK the time has come and the legend that is Webbo will once again be set in stone, Ive just returned from an advance previes o the tour DvD and the adjective mindblowing is not far off. WE are therefor having and advance screening before the sports fed ball in a meeting room in Union North. The plan:

time: 5.30 on the piazza if you want to see this momentous production
        6.30 at rootes bar if you dont but are coming to sports fed ball with canoe/polo clubs, We will then proceed, after a few drinks to the sports ball which opens at 6.45

Dress: Smart, I know its obvious, G has even washed his suit!

Finally if people want to come to see the DvD but arent coming to the sports fed ball then meet at the piazza for 5.30

Cheers all, any further issues just email the social email adresse

Final details for the surf trip people!

Meet : Sunday 9.00am WESTWOOD GARAGE.                                                                                            

 Please get their on time to help pack the van. We want to be leaving by 9.30am so we can get some decent surfing in and we're not waiting! Work through those hangovers! 

We'll be returning tuesday evening, and should be back for polo/football.

Kit to bring: See the Trip Kit List on the website for an idea of what to take with you. Usual paddling gear. The weather is a bit temperamental at the moment so make sure you bring stuff if it is hot/cold. Hopefully the sun will be out in full glory (fingers crossed everyone) so remember sun-lotion. There were some interesting tan lines last year! Also if you have any club kit lying around in your lives can you please make sure you bring it with you.

Tent wise - if you have one bring one. There's a thread on the forum about tent space ('sex on the beach') so post on this if you need a space / have spaces in your tent up for grabs.

We'll be stopping of at the supermarket on the way there for a booze and food stock up, so don't worry about bringing loadsa stuff with you.

Money wise:

• You will need £10 each in cash for two nights camping.
• If you are taking club transport you need to bring a £22 cheque made payable to UWSU. (Sorry its quite expensive but we haven't got much transport money left, and can't afford to subsidise it this year).
• If you ordered a T-shirt, add another £4 onto your cheque
• Scarf, Amy medic, Strongman, Katie, Beyts, you still owe £5 for the jackets, so add this on to the cheque as well.

Make sure you bring this money with you.  

Right, apart from praying for good surf and weather, think that's it. Any questions, let me know.

See you at sports fed (TV n Nicky will let you know the details of this.)

If you haven't already done so, sign up, sign up, sign up!

Just  to clarify:

If you are going - sign up on the website trip list 'Summer Surf trip 2006' and make sure you are a member of the CANOE club (*cough* Hatfield *cough)

If you want transport - sign up on the above list AND the 'Surf Trip transport list'. We're gonna be sorting this out pretty soonish so make sure you are on this list if you need transport, cos we may not be able to find space at short notice. So, go on the website and double check you've signed up (no-one is confirmed on this bit yet but, don't worry, it doesn't mean you won't have a space).

Cheers guys,

Louise :)

1) Term time polo sessions same as usual until week 10 (should be back from surf trip in time for polo, although england match at the same time so guess some/most people will be heading off to watch that instead)

2) Holiday Polo: Wednesdays 8-9.30pm throughout (Jon: thanks for for sorting that!)

3) This is a news item and so should be in bright and bold technicolourful wonder-fonts, but doing that a) takes ages b) takes ages, c) takes ages and d) i'm in dial-up connection, which e) takes ages
