Kit fixing!
Hi Paddlers!
With Scotland tour coming up soon, it's time for a kit fixing session! If youÔÇÖre going to Scotland, or have been on a trip so far this year it would be great to see you at this session.
The priorities are the boats going on tour, but with enough help the pool boats may also get some love. Join me on the pool balcony at midday wednesday, or later in the day at the garage.
Hope to see you there!

Getting Boats Down From The Balcony
Hi all,
- All members handling boats must be properly trained.
- Boats must only be passed up and down during allotted club pool time, and not whilst there are swimmers in the pool*.  The exception is when boats are being moved outside for trips or maintenance.
- Boats must be passed up and down as close as possible to the deep end.
- Two people must be handling the boat when passing up and down.
- The handles and cockpit area must be used when moving boats.
BUCS 2017
BUCS 2017
On 28-30 April, the mighty Warwick fleet shall descend upon Nottingham to compete in BUCS - the main student polo competion of the year!
Warwick has been highly successful over the last couple of years and we hope to keep this trend going.  Therefore we will be sending the best of the best (of the people who are free on that date).  We will be entering an A, Ladies, and B team (and the Old Gits will probably turn up as well).  Competition will be fierce so you should all aim to train as hard as possible over the last few weeks of term to impress your captains and win your place in a team (see previous rambling email).
IF YOU WANT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR SELECTION PLEASE SIGN UP HERE: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/434/
There will also be a ref course at the venue, starting early (i.e. don't sign up if you have labs that day) on Friday 28th April.  For only £10, you will get a theory qualification (assuming you pass the exam at the end) as well as your very own whistle and rule book.  You can also get your practical assessment done the next day but people aiming to do that should have done a fair amount of refereeing in club sessions beforehand.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DOING THE REF THEORY COURSE PLEASE SIGN UP HERE: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/433/
We will be ordering sexy polo shirts (no nipple chafing) to wear when we collect all those medals we are totes going to win.  We will send out more details about cost, design, etc. later and you can decide whether you want one (even if you're not going).
Nene Trip
Scotland Tour 2017!
Calling all Kayakers,
The rumours are true; Warwick Canoe will be returning to the infamous North this Easter holidays for our annual Scotland Tour.
We will be departing campus on Saturday 25th March and returning on Monday 3rd April (2nd week of the Easter holidays) for 8 days of fun filled kayaking, merriment and 2 days of minibus shenanigans.
For the first half, we will be staying at Nethy Bridge while we paddle the length of the river Findhorn over several days. We then move towards Fort William and stay at the Great Glen Hostel (borderline hotel) where we paddle a variety of rivers including the Arkaig, Garry, Spean Gorge, Etive and visit the best pub in the world ... probably. We will also hold a variety of socials in the evening so there is plenty to do.
To come on the trip, you must have been on at least one other club trip beforehand. If you have yet to be lucky enough to go on a club trip please speak to a member of the exec about your eligibility to come on Scotland Tour.
Signups will go live on the website at 7:55 pm on Monday 27th February following a 5-day countdown of the top 5 reasons for why you should go on Scotland Tour. 
Once signup closes we will send a confirmation email to each lucky paddler that signed up on time to confirm their place on the trip. The price will be a heavily subsidised £230, which will cover the costs of accommodation, fuel, transport, a limited edition 2017 tour shirt, a group meal, tour prizes and games on the social night.
Once your place is confirmed you will be committed to paying for the full cost of the trip. In the event that you can no longer attend the trip then email us ASAP and we will try and find someone to take your place. 
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or any other member of the exec.
Your Trusty Tour Sec,
Hadyn.
p.s. Its already 5 days to go until sign ups so my first of the top 5 reason for going on Scotland Tour is:
You get to paddle the same boat in the same river groups for the whole week. This gives you chance to become accustomed to the boat, by the end of the week itÔÇÖs like paddling your own personal boat. Because of this we see a significant improvement in the paddling ability of people who come on Scotland Tour. Naming of your temporary personal boat is optional.┬á
