Greetings fellow wet ones,

We had an amazing freshers trip this weekend! If you missed out - DON’T WORRY as we have one more trip this term, here are all the deets:

Our next canoe trip will be to Hexham for the Annual Tyne Tour https://tynetour.co.uk/ on the 2nd-4th November (end of week 5), where we will paddle the Tyne and the Tees. Here’s a video of what we paddled last year:

These rivers are suitable for everyone, of any ability. The only requirement is that you’ve attended at least one of our pool sessions. They run on Monday and Wednesday 20:30-22:00 every week.

Saturday evening we will go into Hexham for the village Bonfire and Fireworks, followed by an excellent Ceilidh (essentially a Scottish barn dance) at the campsite.

The trip will cost £42 and signups will go live at noon this Wednesday at  warwickcanoe.uk/site/trips

See you Thursday at the Leam Boat Centre at 19:00, or at 63 Avenue Road, Leamington at 20:00 for our Kit and Cocktails Social!

(Don’t forget to sign up for cocktails or mocktails on warwickcanoe.uk/site/trips )

Much love,

Beta and the Canoe Exec

Sup Paddlers!

Quick reminder that tomorrow is the 3 legged bar crawl in Leam! For anyone off campus we will be meeting at the Antisocial for 7.30pm to be tied together, and any freshers please meet us at the bus stop for or before 7pm! We will be ending our bar crawl in Kelsey's and I will then be getting a bus back to campus if freshers would like to join me.

Hope to see you all there,

Head on to the website to sign up for our first weekend of whitewater paddling of the year. From 19th-21st October in the Brecon Beacons it’ll be a perfect start to a year of whitewater, and an ideal introduction if you’ve never done any whitewater before!

Week 2 Social -- Three-Legged Bar Crawl

Sup Paddlers!!

Fancy being tied up to a member of the canoe club. If so then the clubs annual Three-Legged Bar Crawl is for you.

TL;DR Moving water! Nene signups 12:00 Tuesday, Freshers signups 12:00 Wednesday warwickcanoe.uk/site/trips

Sup paddlers!

It’s been so good to see all the new faces at our taster sessions so far. There’s still another week of completely free sessions so come on down when you can!
However, it’s time to start thinking outside the pool and get paddling on the moving stuff.

This year, we’re getting started with a Wednesday afternoon (week 3, 17 Oct) trip to the Nene whitewater centre. Leaving uni at 12:30, it will be a great place to get started with all of us lovely people on hand to help you out. All before arriving in time for our Pop! Circling (get your tickets!). Signups for this will go live at 12:00 this Tuesday on warwickcanoe.uk/site/trips (top tip: make an account early).

But that’s not all! The weekend afterwards (end of week 3, 19-21 Oct) we will be heading to South Wales from Friday evening for two days of kayaking in the Brecons. It’s sure to be an amazing trip designed to introduce you to your first whitewater river - we’ve even got real beds! And at £38 a go it’s a bargain holiday too. Signups open 12:00 this Wednesday on warwickcanoe.uk/site/trips 

Remember, you will need to have been to at least one pool session before you go and have bought club membership (https://www.warwicksu.com/sports/clubs/canoe/), so be sure to visit next week (or whenever) to say hello first.

Canoe love,

Coach Dan and the Canoe Exec

It's the post you've all been waiting for, the first social post of the year!! As we have an extra week this term, we will be holding a returners social on Thursday 27th (Week 0)! This will be a kit fixing followed by a short walk to Liam's house for pizza and games. Keep your eyes peeled for more details!

We can't wait to see you there,

-Polo Kit Fix-

Calling all polo people, as welcome week fast approaches, we need out boats to be in perfect condition for all of the falling in that the new Freshers will be doing.

This means a good old kit fixing will be taking place at 2pm, Monday 17th on the balcony.
