With term 3 on the horizon🌅 (sorry for the reminder😢), there’s no time more appropriate for a bit of sociable chill time to take your mind off things!!

This week we’ll be throwing it back to the first lockdown with the return of YOGA🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️!!!

We’ve got a short (approx 10-15 min) video for us to follow with a focus on self care/brain power/getting in the zoneeee, and of course we’ll follow up with a nice chit chat catch up☺️.

Looking forward to seeing you there at 7pm tomorrow (Monday) at the teams link here: https://tinyurl.com/yswa72x9 

Best of luck to everyone with the upcoming term - there’s light🌟 at the end of the tunnel!!

Chilled out love ✌️,

Claudia 💜

Our three groups, Team Tulip, Lily Legion, and Bluebell Band will try to complete as many of the following ten challenges as possible, from Monday 22nd-Friday 26th inclusive! If a team doesn’t do at least 7 each member will face a (pie/milk/marshmallow related) forfeit

Team Tulip:

Lily Legion:

Bluebell Band:

All the challenges are Scotland-related because its just that time of year

• As a group, run/walk/paddle the length of the Gary (35km) in one day
• At least 2 members of the group travel half the Etive (9k) in one run/walk/paddle
• One member of the group records 3 run/walks of Spean Gorge in the week (5k)
• Run 3 etive sections in the week (2.5km each)
• Stop and do 6 star jumps, 6 sit ups every kilometre for a whole run/walk that’s at least 3km (because right-angle is a 6m drop!)
• One member cycles half the Findhorn (50k)
• Spend 8 hours exercising between group in total (the journey time to Scotland!)
• Climb Cairn Gorm worth of elevation (1245m) in a week as a group
• 4 members of a group do the same activity simultaneously (it’s good to paddle as a group)
• Every member does at least 2 activities throughout the week

The team that completes the most challenges will be crowned champions and will win absolutely nothing because it’s all for charity (kidding, there actually will be some PRIZES on offer for the winning team, just in case you’re motivated by something other than helping people )

And most importantly of all, this event is once again in aid of our chosen charity Valley House who are doing amazing work helping people struggling with issues such as homelessness, depression, and unemployment to look forward to a brighter future: https://valleyhouse.org.uk

All donations should be made via our ongoing Just Giving page: https://tinyurl.com/WCCPJustGiving

Please spread the link with friends/family/everyone you know (don’t forget when we reach £500 Chris’ hair will be going PINK!!)

From some someone that’s excited about their first Scotland trip

Tonight is the final social of the term, and in memory of last years Scotland Trip 😢 we will be playing "Would I lie to you?" 🧐. If you wish to participate then please message James or myself a truth and then come along tonight at 7pm on Teams to find out if other members of the club would lie to you just to win the game.

Scotland Charity Challenge

On the 15th of March 2020, members of Warwick Canoe had a nice drive to Scotland for our annual trip to paddle rivers such as the Findhorn, Garry and Spean to name a few. Little did they know that a few days later the entire world would start locking down and now, for the first time in forever, the Scotland trip can’t go ahead this year 😢

But fear not, we have something (arguably better) than swimming in a freezing cold river :/ and that is our 🎉 SCOTLAND CHARITY CHALLENGE🎉

You have seen the exec make fools out of themselves for charity and now it is your turn to join in (minus the marshmallows, milk and mayhem that ensued).

This challenge will take place between Monday 22nd - Friday 26th March and will include a variety of walking, running, cycling and paddling activities that you and your allocated ‘river group’ will have to complete (some have said that the best group may even win prizes!!!)

Signs up are live now: https://warwickcanoe.uk/trips/trip.php?trip_id=71 so sign up to come and join in in the 2021 Scotland trip without actually having to travel to Scotland.

It is also all in the name of charity so here is the link (https://tinyurl.com/ScotlandChallenge) for you to donate/ get sponsored, again, all raising money for our chosen charity of the year: Valley House, a charity dedicated to helping vulnerable individuals including victims of domestic abuse and those homeless.

Canolo Love,

Adi and the rest of both execs x

CHARITY CHALLENGE UPDATE AND DINNERTIME DESTRESS

It's the last week of term 2 woooooo 🎉🎉

Charity Challenge Update

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who donated to our ‘Do we dare?’ exec charity challenge. In total we managed to raise over £340! This has lead to:

• 32 pints of milk being drunk
• 5 squirty cream paper plates to the face
• A whole lot of chubby bunny’s
• Tescos running out of brussel sprouts (thanks to Laura)
• Rowan’s dog getting the recognition he deserves
• And the exec just generally doing something a bit wild for charity

Owen donated the most and therefore will be receiving a home-made cake of choice from Sam.

And as ‘The Peterson Household’ donated the second greatest amount, they will have free reign over Joe’s meals for the weekend.

I hope you all enjoyed watching us laugh/suffer as much as we have!

Dinnertime Destress

Now, if you want to see a summary of all the best challenges from this weeks charity projects, then this destress is the one for you! Tonight at 7pm we will be celebrating :/ a year since the first lockdown/social distancing was announced by looking at some of the highlights/ funny moments that have occurred across the globe this year! This will also include Chris dying his hair live for your entertainment. 

Here is the link! So feel free to come and join in, whether it’s to watch Chris's incredible hair transformation or just have a final destress before the end of term!

Polo love,

Adi xxx
