Warwick RAGE! League 2015

Hiya all Poloers,

After the BUCS event in the first weekend of term 3 (24th April) we will have little left to distract us from that living hell of studying our arses off to acheive.
We need a way to releive the stress and pressure.
Therefore I present to you the Annual Canoe Polo Warwick RAGE! League!
We sort out 4 teams based on how you rank each other as polo players so that the teams are as fair and equal as possible and this means that players of all abilities can play.
Then, each tuesday starting on the 28th April (week 2), each RAGE! team will play one game as part of the league, with the remaining pool time in the session being just for fun!
The winning RAGE! team at the end of the 6 weeks of matches will win street cred and a fabulous prize!

IF you would like to play in the RAGE! league, please sign up on the trips section of the website. Closing date will be tuesday 21st April.
 (It doesnt really matter if you cant make a couple of the weeks as there will be 6 weeks worth of matches, but dont sign up if you know that you will be away for the whole term. There will still be games for non-RAGE!-league players, just not as cool)

We will also be running a Fantasy Polo League!
You will be assigned a budget with which to purchase players to form a team from the people who sign up to the RAGE! League. The value of each player will be determined by the rankings you give each other for the RAGE! League. Players earn points for goals, saves, assists etc. during their RAGE! League games.  The cost of entering a team for the fantasy league is £2 and the managers of the teams coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd will receive 60%, 30%, 10% respectivly of the intake for the Fantasy Polo League. (dont worry about the Fantasy Polo League yet, more information will be emailed out on the Wednesday 22rd April)

So please sign up for the RAGE! League by 21st of April so that we have time to arrange teams and send out details for setting up fantasy league teams. We will start with the RAGE! league competition in Week 2 of next term (28th April).

Hi guys, Next Thursday 12th March we will be having our last social of term. This is traditionally a pre-tour social but obviously everyone is welcome. The plan will be to have a Spoons meal in Leam and then ultimately end up in Kelseys (as per)! Meet at 7:30pm in Benjamin Satchwell's (halway down the parade). I'm sure there will be a contingent of people coming from campus if you think you're likely to get lost!! See you then x

Sorry this is so late (somehow I managed to write an email but no news post). The plan for tomorrow is to meet at the duck for dinner at 5 (for those wanting dinner beforehand) or to meet in the queue at 6pm - no need to wait outside the copper rooms we'll congregate once inside. Real ale costs £3.50 for entrance. Once inside youre able to try hundreds of ales, fruit wines and ciders and experience the wonder that is dr busker. Theres even a hog roast!! Hopefully see you all there!!

Pop week 9

Just a reminder the next POP circling will be week 9 (4th March) and the theme will be Under the Sea (So get creative!). 

I would advise you to get tickets asap as you may have noticed today it's been announced that The Chuckle Brothers are coming to Pop week 9 so I imagine it'll sell out more quickly than normal!!

Howdy all,

Polo hoodies are ready to order, these are different to the canoe club hoodies you may have heard about however, ours are vastly superior as they have Polo written on them!

There are Varsity Hoodie and Chunky Zoodie (zipped hoodies) these come with the club logo printed on the back, the university crest & club name embroidered on the left breast and your name embroidered on the right breast. This is all included in the price of the hoodie. 

The Varsity Hoodies cost £21.45 and the Chunky Zoodies cost £26.95. You order and pay for the hoodies by following the link below to the online shop. This online shop will be open for just 2 weeks and will shut at the end of the day on Friday 21st February. Once the shop shuts the hoodies will be ordered and delivered in one go about 2-3 weeks later.

Rash Vests! The deadline for placing your order with your size preference is Monday morning (9th Feb) http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/news/thread/4313/ As I will be sending the order e-mail out on Monday these only cost £15 plus P&P and are the only piece of team kit we ask you to buy. And For Fuck's Sake please change your user name on the club website from your university number to your actual name if you haven't already, you can do so here: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/myprofile/

SCOTLAND TOUR!!

Posted 11y 1mth ago by Some Old Git

Hola amigos, ItÔÇÖs that time of the year again; Scotland Tour is upon us! From Sunday 15th March to Monday 23rd March (first week of Easter Holidays) Warwick Canoe Club will be heading up to Scotland for a week of serious paddling and hardcore Fun! Scotland Tour is our biggest and bestest trip of the year and for any keen kayaker out there one not to miss! We will spend the first half of the trip in a bunkhouse in Nethy Bridge and then will be moving on to a second bunkhouse near Fort William. Potential paddling includes: the Spene Gorge, the mighty Findhorn, the legendary Etive and many more besides. The trip will cost ┬ú220, which is a bargain for 8 days considering it includes accommodation, transport, all your kit for the week, a group meal one night and more! As if that wasnÔÇÖt enough: We will also be ordering in kegs of ale to the first bunkhouse just to add to the fun (for all those ale drinkers out there). The idea is we keep a track of how many pints each person drinks and then they pay for them at the end of the week! Simple! 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 speak to a member of the exec about your eligibility to come on the trip. In order to go on the trip you must sign up on the website. Sign ups will go live at 6pm sharp next Monday (9th February). This will be a popular one so I suggest being by a computer at this time ready to sign up!! (IÔÇÖve made it after most people finish lectures so hopefully everyone should be free). Once the sign up closes we will send a confirmation email to each lucky paddler that signed up soonest to confirm their place on the trip. If you get a confirmation email you are committed to paying for the trip. In the event that you can no longer go on the trip then email us ASAP and we will try and find someone to take your place. If you are unable to make the trip and you have yet to receive a confirmation email but you have signed up on the Warwick Canoe website then send us an email and we will remove your sign up. I hope youÔÇÖre all as excited as I am!!
