There will be 3 tables and if you have any problems with the info, i.e. im really a veggie, reply to this email asap or text the head of your table as the deadlines for everyone is 3pm today.  As i cant access groupwise to double check stuff, there maybe a few mistakes.

Table 2:

Hey Guys n Gals

Guess you all know by now that Nicky, Louise n Me have done tour shirts for the surf trip this summer. They're pretty simple tour t-shirts with a huge list of names (with personalised twists) of everyone who's been on a Warwick Canoe Trip (see the forum post for who's featured and to check your name) this year on the back, think they're going to look good, mark 2006 as a memorable year and be a bit of a laugh as well.

Struck a deal so they are only going to cost a bargainous £4 a shirt - S, M, L, XL and anyone can have one. Thats the cost of 2 pints (if you buy them in a reasonably priced (non-union) environment) so it's gotta be worth it even if you only wear it this one trip.

If you want one send me an email (A.Hurd@warwick.ac.uk) saying S, M, L or XL and i will order you one. Only catch is orders must be in with me by SUNDAY NIGHT as got to get them printed.

Cheers Guys

See you at Sports Fed if not before

Pebble has some important nuggets of infomration for the canoe club: If you want to sit with the canoe club at the sports fed ball then you have to send Nicky your ticket number by THURSDAY NIGHT and preferably before that. There are still tickets fro sale up to the 9th but you will be randomly seated! so if you are still not sure, make your mind up quickly! I havent been but all other members along with pebble say its an awesome night, although I dont trust Nickys opinion due to her lack of memory!

Also Paintballing: Still plenty of places for you and your friends but I need to know by thursday the latest as im sending the deposit then, just email me if you want to come

Cheers

Ladies and Gentleman, the time has come to sort the men from the mice, the rif from the raf, those who can paddle strait and those who can shoot strait (im not bitter!) and those who have balls and those prepared to reciev balls. Yes the dates have been booked for canoe club paintball! Not only will there be canoeists, but you can battle yourselfs against my rootes b block floor, those members of real ale gutsy enough to face us and any and I mean any friends you want to bring along bar ex SAS (I dont want to hurt them). Ok the plan is:

Date:    Monday the 12 of June
Price: 15 pounds which includes all rental entrance fees and 100 paint balls , after that it is 5 pounds for every 100 paintballs, these are VIP tickets and are cheap compared to other places
Where: Delta force paintballing , Prince William went there so I hope its not too soft! G said its good but then again that means nothing! : http://www.deltaforcedirect.co.uk/ Looks pretty good to me
Transport: Hopefully get a minibus but any cars would be much appreciated

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:    within the next five days you need to sign up on the paintball trip list where the normal trips are, this is due to the fact that I have to pay them a week in advance! Plus if u sign up you are paying for it whatever ( sorry but has to be like that)

Once again all people are welcome and they can accomodate 300 people so friends are very much Welcome!

Yes you can still buy Sports Fed Ball tickets!!!This is the perfect opportunity for those who were unsure or hesitant to go buy one.  You have had the opportunity to gauge who is going and realise that lots and lots of people are and how awseom the event is!!!

Having said that, there are lots of you who have said oh yeah i am going but havent sent me their numbers.  If you havent picked up your ticket then, DO IT! It's a perfect procrastination opportunity.  Could even just pop along to advance on your lunch break, or maybe on your way home, it is open til 6pm.

For all those who have emailed/text/told me their ticket numbers, thank you and you can have a free sweetie on me for your efficiency and enthusiasm, woohoo.

I might even be tempted to give a free sweetie to all those who reply to n.woodcock.2@warwick.ac.uk or social@warwickcanoe.co.uk with the following details by the end of the week:

- Full name

- Ticket number

-Veggie or other dietery requirements

Hope revision and outfit shopping is going better then my efforts!!!

Following the success of the last Canoe Polo Cancer Challenge (2004) York University are organising a bigger, better, longer event in June this year to raise money for Cancer Research.

What : 26 hour long, continuous Canoe Polo match

Where : Hatfield Water Park, Doncaster [where the BUSAs were]

When : June 9,10,11 [friday to sunday, end of week 8]

Details in more detail : http://www.cancerchallenge.org.uk/

Minimum individual sponsorship : £10 ie not much at all (presumably inclusive of any entry/camping fee: am checking that); overall target is to beat the £17,000 raised last time. Sponsor forms at http://www.cancerchallenge.org.uk/docs/sponsorform.pdf 

Entrants do not have to play in pre-formed teams: the single match works by continuously rotating substitutes throughout the 26 hours.

So far two people have asked about borrowing club kit for the weekend. This is fine provided it returns! If enough people are interested we can look into minibuses etc, otherwise its cars.

Please post if you are going/want to go but need transport, so we can think about numbers of people/spaces in cars/tents etc etc.

Questions to j.bonell@warwick.ac.uk / 07950733855 or post on the forum, maybe some old gits will remember from 2004...!

Ok due to popular demand and pebbles desire to reek havoc among the canoe/polo members, I am (as pebbles representative) trying to gauge interest so that I can send an email to various companies and get them to give me the cheapest price possible. Im hopefully going to book it in the last two weeks of term at a healthy interval between sports ball surf trip and 3 peaks, although being hungover may result in a numbing feeling, and as a result less pain. All are welcome and if you have friends who are definately keen the more the merier, and the cheaper!

Right so here is the emotional rollercoaster that is the social calendar for this term:

27th may: Piazza social= Doesnt take a rocket scientist to get this one, more details will fellow shortly but keep that date! Webbo I know its the day of your last exam so no execuses, not that you would make any.  And pebble deams the occasion is fit for the paddle!

Paintballing: OK so I need those interested, and I mean will come, to write me an email with an intersting fact about the  Oceans aqautic life
plus confirming any friends who are keen

Sports Fed Ball A.K.A THE BIG ONE: Ok Nicky would like to have tickets numbers of member/ plus guests who want to come ASAP so she can sort out tables, plus if you dont have tickets, WHY NOT? The pebble wants to see as many people as possible and if you play your cards right ladies you may even get to meet the man himself!

Cheers all

Hey guys n gals, Good weekend think we all learnt lots, cheers to paul, jo and chris for the coaching all weekend (and the swimming all of sunday!) As per usual the boats need cleaning before canoe. Can anyone with a car meet at the garage at 7.30 please (bit earlier than usual as the garage is a STATE and we need to hang suff up to dry etc too) and can everyone else that came either Saturday or Sun meet us at the pool at 8pm (if you beat us there can you open up and get the hose out please - sure someone'll know how - it's not rocket science.) Maaarvelous. Good weather for paddlers today - shame its may and exams :( See everyone else at 8.30 Angie Elle Pres

Does anybody want to do the Outdoor Activities First Aid Course? It's really good, respected by companies etc and counts if you want to do any coaching awards. It's running from 9am- 5.30pm this Saturday and Sunday, and is FREE. It's run by a guy who is as unlike st john's ambulance people a you could get.
Anyway, we have ONE SPARE PLACE for it due ot people dropping out. Please text me NOW (07929 145308) if you want the place, first come first served.

YAY! It's that time of year again, the weather's heating up, the sunburn lines are appearing and everyone and their uncle's cramming in the library... Ooh and the Surf trip sign up's up.

18th - 20th June Warwick Canoe Summer Surf Trip

The Surf trip is legend. Every Year we go to the Sports fed ball and party the night away (email your ticket nos in!) and then get up and going agin Sunday morning and head down to NewGale, St Davids for 3 days of Sun, Sea (definitely), Surf (hopefully!) Sand (everywhere) Beer and BBQ's. Its a huge event (40 of us last yr) and we camp literally metres from the beach. Any surf trip virgins just ask one of the oldies and sure they'll tell you the stories. It's a chilled 'do what you want when you want' format, so it doesn't matter if you're a beginnner, hardcore surf addict or just there for the party. But what does matter is that you're there.

Go sign up. (and check out last years photos... way better than that revision you're 'doing' right now!)

Any questions grab one of us at the pool/give us a ring

Angie & Louise (07709490303 & 07984974172)

PS a transport sign up in online seperately, so if you want us to transport you there and back better go sign that list too.
