Dinnertime Destress

Posted 4y 4mth ago by Claudia Perry

Dinnertime Destress is BACK

 

It may be a new year, but we’re still here every Monday evening for some dedicated chill time

 

This week's theme is a simple one - catch up cuppa. After the Christmas break I’m looking forward to catching up with you all over a hot (or cold) brew. And with all this extra time on our hands I’m looking for comfort drink inspiration, so bring your best beverages. (This is your advanced warning to stock up on that new hot choc powder you’ve been eyeing up (treat yourself, it’s 2021)). 

 

We’re talking anything from a hot chocolate explosion, to a delicate herbal infusion - whatever takes your fancy and will help you unwind. 

 

Looking forward to seeing you all at 7pm on Monday 11th Jan, at this teams link.

 

Relaxing canolo vibes,

Presidents’ Post and Merry Christmas

Posted 4y 4mth ago by Claudia Perry
 
Hi everyone!
 
We hope you’re all looking forward to Christmas and taking a well-deserved break
 
First off a huge thank you to everyone this term - for your patience, cooperation and positivity during what has been a term like no other.
 
Despite everything, we’ve got plenty to look back on:
 
Both clubs successfully held several covid-secure taster sessions (remember pool sessions!!) and leam training was back in full force. The canoe club ran a brilliant white water trip to the Peak District, and canoe polo had their best-attended ball throwing session in recent memory.
 
In addition to this, we launched weekly Dinnertime Destress, our lovely social secs kept us entertained every Thursday evening, and our strava lockdown challenge got us moving in the fresh air!
 
With next terms’ plans as definite as everything else at the mo (aka up in the air), we will keep you all updated with the clubs’ happenings in the new year.
But rest assured, as soon as restrictions allow, we will be back on the water with a splash.
 
Until then, Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, and try not to miss us too much,
 
Canolo love from your canolo presidents,
 
Owen and Claudia

Posted 4y 5mth ago by James Hickmott

We are excited to announce that we are running secret Santa this year!!!!!

Due to the uncertainty surrounding restrictions after lockdown, we can not book Christmas meal currently.

However, we will still be doing a secret Santa. If you would like to take part, please sign up using the link at the bottom of this post. You have until Tuesday 24th November. After that day you will not be able to sign up and take part.

On Tuesday 24th everyone that signed up will get an email telling them, who their secret Santa is for.

We are asking everyone to have their gift ready by the end of lockdown, 3rd December. On the 3rd James and I will come and pick up everyone's gifts and then deliver them. Just make sure you put their name on it!

If you are looking for an excuse to go for a walk during lockdown and have your gift ready, then feel free to come and drop your gift of at our house.

Any questions feel free to message one of us,

Social love,

Dan, James and all the exec.

Lots of activities still happening!!

Posted 4y 6mth ago by Owen Kelly

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re all keeping safe and well!

To reiterate Owen’s recent post - I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone for your patience throughout our sessions this term. Despite the circumstances, we really enjoyed the sessions and meeting all our new members - so hopefully it won’t be too long before we can all be back on the water together (returners as well!!).

In light of recent government announcements, the Sports Hub is now closed, so until you hear differently from us please assume all sessions are cancelled 

In the meantime, we want to direct you all to activities that are still happening :

Within Warwick Canoe and Canoe Polo 

Weekly virtual socials: every Thursday evening, continuing tomorrow with a games night, and more activities to follow (did somebody say Harry Potter……)

Dinnertime Destress: every Monday evening at 7pm on teams. Join us for a chilled out relaxation session - previous activities have included making flapjacks  and animal origami 

And see Joe's message about an exciting new club announcement - Strava Palava - to keep us all moving….

If you do need any support or just someone to have a chat to, please reach out to any of our exec who would love to have a natter and offer our advice, especially our welfare officer Lara. 

Warwick Sport 

Since the beginning of lockdown 1, Warwick Sport have been posting a variety of at-home workouts on their website https://warwick.ac.uk/services/sport/together/ and on their Facebook page Warwick Sport

Some are live, but others are on demand so you can enjoy them whenever you fancy.

If you have a Warwick gym membership, you should be able to join this group which has regular live-stream workouts: Sports and Wellness Hub - Members group

AND there is a new Facebook group available to all Warwick Uni Students which is also posting live-stream workouts: Keeping Students Moving

Keeping moving is super important for our body and mind - two things we’re all going to have to take extra special care of over the next few weeks!!

Warwick Wellbeing Support Services 

There are a variety of resources to explore on their website here https://warwick.ac.uk/services/wss/students/

Feel free to take a peruse through them at your leisure, but please reach out to any of the organisations listed on the website if you think you might need a little extra support at the moment.

Be kind to yourself,

Lots of love,

Claudia, Owen and all the exec xxxxx
