>>>> Strava week 4 <<<< 

Posted 4y 7mth ago by Laura

Bonjour all,

 

Last week's challenge was to do exercise for more than 30 mins on different days. This week's winner was Tara clocking up 6 days! She was the only person to hit the level Etive this week 

Then Claudia, James & Grady all hit level Leven.

Finally Adi, Liam, Joe C and Joe P all hit level Usk

 

Nice work everybody :)

 

For Week 5 the challenge is for the most Strava awards. Don't worry you won't have to smash your PB every run, but consistency will be the key. Or find new areas to run/walk in and rack them up quickly and easily.

 

Usk - 3 awards

Leven - 6 awards

Etive - 10 awards

 

The challenge ends midnight Sunday as always.

 

Strava Love,

Laura and the execs xx

Posted 4y 7mth ago by James Hickmott
Morning all,
Last week's challenge was slightly different, Strava art!
people posted photos of their runs and whoever managed to get the best combinations of reactions will be the winner, and I am happy to announce that this week's winner👑 is Claudia, with a total of 12 points.
Both Claudia and Joe managed to achieve Leven level this week with Ivan close behind at Usk level.
Week 4's challenge will be more of a long game. The winner shall be whoever manages to get outside and do at least 30 mins of exercise for the most days this week, obviously with the highest score you can manage this week at 7.
The different stages will be:
😀Usk - 2 days
😁Leven - 4 days
😆Etive - 6 days (7 if you're feeling up to it)
The challenge will end at midnight on Sunday as always, and we hope to see you all on Strava.
Strava love,
James

🍻🍻🍻 Real Ale 🍻🍻🍻

Posted 4y 7mth ago by James Hickmott
Hujambo all,
Week 6 is almost here, which means... its time for real ale. So get your drinks ready for what is always a great night🍻🍺, albeit not entirely the same. Don't worry if you haven't bought your drinks yet, there's still plenty of time, many places offer delivery in just a couple of days, and feel free to order some non-alcoholic drinks, there will be no pressure, as long as you have something interesting to drink.😆😆
Looking forward to it, and hope to see you all there,
Social love,
James, Dan and all the exec

****Club Info/Meet the Exec event****

Posted 4y 8mth ago by Claudia Perry

****EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT - DATE FOR THE DIARY****

 

We know this year hasn’t turned out exactly how any of us expected, so we have decided to hold our first-ever extra-special Club Info/Meet the Exec event, on Thursday 4th March at 6pm at the teams link here. Our usual virtual social will follow immediately after.

 

This will be a great opportunity for you to hear about the events and activities the clubs hold in a more ‘normal’ year, and our exec members will be there to answer all of your questions.

 

We will be covering the key events we usually hold, highlighting the fun club activities we have been able to run even during this abnormal year, and, for those of you who are thinking of running for exec next year, the exec will be giving an overview of their roles.

 

I’d really encourage everyone to pop along for this informal event - to learn more about our clubs and to share your feedback on how your past year(s) at the club have been.

 

And with regards to running for exec: being a member of the Canoe Polo exec has been one of the most rewarding parts of my university experience. I can’t recommend running for a role enough. 

This year, the SU is looking to introduce a ‘Non-participation membership’ (for free!!). This will allow you to run for an exec position for next year even if you haven’t bought a full club membership. So please don’t be put off running for a position just because you don’t have a membership/haven’t attended many events this year. (If any pool sessions restart this academic year, you will need a full club membership to participate).

If you have any queries/questions about exec or any other aspect of the club then feel free to drop any of us a message.

 

Looking forward to seeing you all there,

 

Claudia and the rest of the execs xxxx

Merhaba all,
I hope you're all excited for tonight's social! Since none of our cars are exactly going anywhere at the moment, we figured we could just get some racing action in on Mario Kart tour instead 😆😆at 7.
Don't forget to download and set up before the social, trust me this can take some time.📲
Social love,
James, Dan and all the exec
