News
Lots of activities still happening!!
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

Sign ups open at midnight the week before the session (so sign ups for next weeks session are already open) and will be on a first come first serve basis.

Session booking
Its been great to see so many new people coming to our session over the past few weeks.
If you have a confirmed space at our canoe polo sessions from the official warwick sports page that means that you definitely have a space (YAY!!!). Please make sure you email secretary@polo.warwickcanoe.co.uk to let us know that you have a confirmed space.
If you can no longer attend unbook the session on the Warwick sport page as this will allow other people to attend the session. Please also email secretary@polo.warwickcanoe.co.uk to let us know that you’ll no longer be attending.

Canoe Polo Taster Sessions Week 3
Dinnertime Destress! Come Bake With Me!
Sup paddlers,
Tomorrow's dinnertime destress should hopefully provide you with a dessert after too!
We'll be making flapjacks using this recipe (https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/yummy-golden-syrup-flapjacks) which only has 4 ingredients! Feel free to add your own mix-ins - chocolate, fruit, nuts, whatever you like!
Whilst they bake we can do whatever, chat, play a few games, ask me some baking questions, discuss Bake Off - it's up to you!
See you tomorrow! The link to the Teams meeting is here: https://bit.ly/2T6NUr0
Polo Love,
Lara

Join us tonight at 7pm for our first Dinnertime Destress via the teams link below!
As mentioned in my previous post, this will be a super informal wellbeing session. We’ll have a bit of a chit chat on teams before starting this week’s activity – a short beginners meditation session. We’ll be turning cameras off for the meditation so you can follow along in complete privacy – but it’s nice to know that the group are all taking part together.
Everyone is welcome, old members, new members, friends, family, flatmates – the more the merrier!
The only goal is to take some time out of our weeks for some valuable self-care but it’s also a great time to meet some of our members and spend some (virtual) social time together – something to get you through Monday!
I hope to see you all later for a relaxing destress!
Claudia

Week 2 Social
<>< <>< <>< Week 2 Social ><> ><> ><>
It is now time to make a splash as we head to the Wave next week for our first in-person social! The wave is an indoor waterpark, with lots of things to do. For more information, the link is below.
Important note that this will be on Friday afternoon next week instead of Thursday. We will confirm the timing closer to the day.
As we will need to sort transport and groups for this social we ask that you sign up on our website on the link below. You will need to create an account on the website before signing up to the trip.
https://warwickcanoe.uk/trips/
Tickets cost £10.50 but if you have a Go CV go card it will only cost £8.00. So I would recommend getting a Go CV card as they are free, with the link on how to get one below.

If you have any questions or problems, please don't hesitate to contact myself, James or any of the exec.
