Hey Boys n Girlies

I have a propasition (I'm pretenting to be a social sec - still doesn't mean i can spell - Bear with me!) Wednesday 26th (week 2) a day for sport i feel, and so we shall do what we do best (paddling and beer - not necessarily in that order)

We are going on an afternoon magical mystery tour meeting at Westwood at 12pm with paddling Gear and as many cars and drivers as we can. Proposed venues include Neme (if it's open) or Stratfoord or Mill end or wherever. Open to all.

If you want to come can you post on the forum so i know who to expect cars wise, first come first served as usual.

Then keep the evening free because i think i owe the club a post tour (/post busa/mid revision - delete as applicable) social. Will be a bbq either on campus or more ideally avec a house party (any offers??) but will tell you details on Monday. All you need to know for now is to keep Wed night free from revision and other social events, to buy cow (or veggie alternative) and beer - venue is trival.

Importantely the paddle (oh dear) and red book should be present - along with any rescue beers you still owe...????

Yay!! Party time. See you all Friday (at BUSA's) or Mon (at the pool) or Wed (beer and BBQ)

The final arrangements for the BUSAs.  Everyone should be aware by now that it's THIS WEEKEND.  We are meeting at 12.00 midday on Friday to load the van and we will be setting off soon after that.  Please be on time to help with kit.  If you can't make it at this time you need to urgently phone Jon (07702 083067) or Matt (07815 907522).

You will need:

Paddling kit (with a change if you have it), warm clothes (bad weather), warm weather clothes (nice weather), sun block/hat, a sleeping bag, roll mat, food for breakfast and lunch on Sat/Sun (we will run a trip to the chippy on Friday night, and food will be provided on Saturday), YOUR LIBRARY CARD.  There may be a bar on site, but the organisers are still not sure, so you may want to bring some liquid refreshment!  Feel free to bring anything else you so desire to make your life a little more comfortable, bearing in mind that there is limited room!

Tents - If you have a tent, please bring it, even if you know you are sharing with someone else.  Better to have too many than sleeping in the van!

One last, very important thing.  There is a trip form on the club noticeboard in Union North.  PLEASE SIGN THIS FORM - without it, we are not insured, and if you hurt yourself, we're truly screwed.  I apologise that it is such late notice, and also if your name is not there (I did it from memory!) - please add it in a space.  You may also sign when we meet to leave on Friday, but it is a good idea to get as many signatures as we can before then.

Any questions, post on the forum.

Thanks,

Your (Just About To Retire) Polo Exec

Hey, just a thought for scotland:

You all will need a SLEEPING BAG but will all also have a BED to lie it on so no rollmats etc needed. Sorry should\'ve stuck that in the original email

I apologise for the short notice, but the power cut on Friday has been giving me jip!

We will be doing REPAIRS on the boats on MONDAY 20TH MARCH from 5PM at the SPORTS CENTRE.

Any help will be really appreciated - even if you can only spare half an hour. We are likely to be there for a couple of hours, but if you are not sure whether anyone will still be there, give me a ring (07815 907522).

Please tell as many people as you can - the more people we get the easier and quicker it is! Any questions, give me a ring on the number above.

Cheers, Matt

Right then Boys and Girls of the Warwick Canoe Club:

Here it is  the one youve all been waiting on  my horrendously long, jam packed with important info (that Hayden will know nothing of)  drum roll please

FINAL SCOTLAND EMAIL

Ooooh where to start (IÔÇÖd go put the kettle on this might be Dickens Length)

MONEY: (where the power is) Simple this one ÔÇô if you havnÔÇÖt paid ÔÇô Why the hell not!!? IÔÇÖm giving Louise full right to come and break kneecaps, in fact IÔÇÖm going to come and help her (and if you thought Roberts and Whitbread were scary you ainÔÇÖt seen nothing yet) Sort it out people.

ACCOMODATION: Is as you all hopefully know in Linnhe Lochside Cavavans (see link.http://www.linnhe-lochside-holidays.co.uk/) In Four Static Caravans there. Please can you give your mom/auntie/the dog this info as mobile signal is dodgy as in wee olde Scotland. These Caravans all have such luxuries as heating, showers, stoves etc and the site has a drying room so all is good.

The Caravans are as follows:

The Dream Team: Ben, Iain, Frodo, Noj & Wen
The Brotherhood: Gham, Webbo, Strongman, Hayden, Ms Bennet & Art
RichÔÇÖs Bitches: Rich, Kath, Ralph, Emily, Ali
Caravan X: (substitute ÔÇôtreme ÔÇôcessive ÔÇôrated as you wish, although really stems from me running out of imagination) Me, Nicky, Tom, Louise, Katie, Scarf

People can obviously switch round up there, but that is how it reads at the moment. Any tears/hysteronics bout not sleeping next to your best buddie (like my 8 year olds) please donÔÇÖt bother telling me, I am over it already

The people in BOLD are El Boss for that caravan ie pls make sure it ends up in the state it starts in and doesnÔÇÖt spend the intire week in a sea of beer cans. There is an ┬ú85 deposit that needs paying per caravan, pls can someone from each (coordinated by el boss) give a credit card no for this. It wonÔÇÖt be cashed unless we screw them over.

THE RED BOOK: Cult. Who has it? If it doesnÔÇÖt come IÔÇÖll cry.

DRIVERS: are to be respected/sucked up to/ idolised at all times. Make sure you pamper to their every wish and some one map reads for mister Roberts whilst feeding him pie.

FOOD: guess youll cook in the caravans, well do a Morrisons trip on the way up and numerous in the week, so dont worry too much bout it. Itll be a long drive tho so make sure you have lots of snack food to bribe people with etc

RIVERS: Please can everyone be a little bit flexible. Compromise may well have to be the word of the week on this one, yes you can throw yourself off Grade 6 drop (Fort William is the nearest A&E everyone) and yes you can poddle down a grade 3 with losdsa safety but you cant do it every day. Sorted? Good. Everyone will be safe and everyone will be happy cos as G will tell you Safteys not just a word.

KIT: ThereÔÇÖs 2 ft of snow on the ground up there at the mo, so rule of thumb, if youÔÇÖve got it take it.

TIMING: Ah final point we will be meeting on Wednesday the 5^th April at 9.30 am outside our westwood garage. We will not be needing to do a sports centre run. Noj can you pick the van (Nk04 VVM) for me and G can you pick up the bus (Yx04 LHR). I am expecting Frodo, Webbo, Art, Hayden, Rich, Iain, Ben, Lou, Noj, Kath, G, Wen, Ali, Nicky, Strongman, Ralph and me to be there. If that looks wrong to you tell me know.

We will return home stupidly late/early in the morning on wed 12^th/thurs13th (ie like 3am) and will put you all on a floor till morning. No worries there, weÔÇÖre just trying to save you another ┬ú10 on accm in Scot.

Okay thatÔÇÖs all for now folks,

Ring me 07709490303 with your sagas or email me president@warwickcanoe.co.uk

Yay Scotland

Okay, important stuff- i will write a very long 'all the info you need' email asap (when the hangover dies) but for now IF YOU HAVE NOT FILLED IN YOUR DETAILS AND SIGNED MY TRIP FORM CAN YOU GO DO IT NOW. It is on the notice board in union north and will be till i take it down tommorrow lunch time.

There are actually a couple of spaces in transport so if you are now green with jealousy over this Fantastic opportunty having past you by you'd better ring me asap. By tommorrow it will be too late.

Finally we will be leaving 9am Wed 5th and returning very early thurs 13th in the morning, if you need to book trains etc. Any one needing a bed at either end pls post on the forum and we'll find you one.

Scotland is fast approaching  (Yay! i hear you cheer) but I need your money! Thank-you to the small number of you who have paid me everything but everyone else please bring your chequebooks tonight or at Polo tmw. Otherwise PUT IT IN THE NOTICEBOARD ASAP.  Everyone owes me £75 and Emily, you owe me £65. I want everything by Wednesday please, at the latest.

Thanks,

Miss Moneypenny :)  

p.s. please don't give me cheques at the elections social.  Chances are i'll be quite drunk so won't be in a fit state to look after money / myself etc.
