><>><>Taster sessions<><<><

Posted 4y 4mth ago by Dan Collier

Hi Everyone,

At long last pool sessions are returning. We have 2 weeks of taster sessions coming up during weeks 4 and 5 of the term for both clubs. Each club will be running their sessions slightly differently so here is a brief guide to help you sign up for the correct sessions. We are having to use a pre-booking system with Warwick Sport.

Canoe Sessions:

Canoe has 2 sessions each week. The first session is on Saturdays from 4 - 5.20 and is open to anybody. The other session is on Sundays from 7-7.50, however, this session will be open to members only to allow everyone the chance to use the pool and this is a joint session with polo.

To sign up for the Saturday session please fill in this form:

https://forms.gle/q5cdgR4uDvouYX859

To sign up for the Sunday Session please fill in this form:

https://forms.gle/vXjfsHoJGd8vCcYf9

Polo Sessions:

Polo sessions are on Saturdays from 5.30 to 6.50 and are open to everyone. The other session is on Sundays from 7-7.50, however, this session will be open to members only to allow everyone the chance to use the pool and this is a joint session with canoe, so please use the link above.

To sign up for the Saturday Polo session please fill in this form:

https://forms.gle/XzT53kogyYPYbrx48

Sign-ups will open at 1 pm today and will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once your place has been confirmed you will receive another email asking you to sign up on the Warwick Sport website, this is essential and without it, you won’t be allowed to join the session.

If our first session fills up don’t worry as you’ll automatically be signed up for the week 5 session.

If you cannot make a session, please contact an exec member ASAP so we can allocate your space to another person.

On the day

In order to facilitate social distancing, we will be staggering start times, you’ll be given a time slot to arrive, please be on poolside for this time slot, there will be some exec members there to give you a hand. We’ll have an NHS Track and Trace QR code to check into the session. We’re also asking everyone to bring their own hand sanitiser and use it before and after handling our equipment, there will also be some sanitisation stations set up around the pool for you to use.

Canolo love,

Dan and all the exec

Posted 4y 5mth ago by Dan Collier
Good evening all,
 
I bring some exciting news following recent government announcements, pop is back and we will be going in week 9. 🎉🥳🎉
 
Now you may be thinking why I am telling you this so in advance. Tickets go live for sale on Monday 17th May at MIDDAY on the SU website. This means everyone will need to buy their own tickets, and they will sell out fast! So don't miss out!
 
Social love,
Dan, James and all the exec

Dia dhuit all,
 
Stress levels are understandably high at the moment, so this week, we will be playing a few light-hearted online games🎮 to give everyone a chance to take their minds off of everything else.
We'll be on the club teams channel at 7 this Thursday, feel free to bring a couple of drinks🍻 and your comfiest pair of slippers🧦, and we look forward to seeing you there!

ELECTIONS DAY

Posted 4y 5mth ago by Claudia Perry

CANOE AND CANOE POLO ELECTIONS DAY

 

(although apparently there are some other elections happening today too…..)

 

Today is the dayyyyyyyyy!!

 

This evening from 7:30pm, Warwick Canoe and Canoe Polo Clubs will be settling down for our annual elections, this year hosted at the teams link here: https://tinyurl.com/CanoloElections, and we’re looking forward to seeing you all there!

 

Voting will be held in the same way as last year. For those who weren’t with us, this means the votes will be virtual, and counted and announced by our favourite trusted third party.

 

We are looking forward to hearing all the candidates’ parody canoe/water-themed parody poem/song and joke. If you’re yet to apply for a position and being on the exec next year takes your fancy, then it’s your lucky day - you are able to run on the night, just make sure to make yourself heard when the candidates are called for the role you’d like to run for!

 

Most importantly, it is imperative all attendees remember the formality of the event, and as such the attire that is required. Can’t wait to see some glitz, some glamour, but crucially, no jeans - it’s an exciting event so dress for the occasion!!

 

From Owen and I, all that leaves us to say is a hugeeee thank you to all the club members, but in particular to our fantastic execs who have helped this past year be the best it can be. In a year when the odds were stacked against us, both clubs have thrived in unique ways, and this is down to the creativity, dedication and positivity of every exec member.

We think it’s been a great year for both clubs, so thank you!

 

Lots and lots of presidents’ love,

 

Claudia and Owen 💜💜

We are excited to finally be able to share that we have formed a new partnership with Esquires Coffee Leamington, who will be supporting our clubs through the rest of term and into next year!!
 
Esquires Coffee is an ethical coffee franchise, serving high quality coffee ☕️(and tea/hot chocolate🍫/cake🧁/you name it!), whilst supporting ethical and sustainable business practices💚. The Leamington branch is on Warwick Street - so if you’re in the area, pop in and see what they’ve got to offer 🤩(they have student discount!!) - and don’t forget to mention you’re from the club - there may be some extra perks involved….👀👀
 
Esquires Coffee Leamington have already begun supporting us, providing the prizes for our last Scotland Charity event, for the winning team Bluebell Band, and, proving the government’s planned restrictions-lifting goes to plan, keep your eyes peeled for some exciting coffee-themed-social-announcements coming later in term…..!!
