Wk 1 Thursday 2nd  Oldies spoons meal social  
Mainly aimed at people who were here last year but everyoneÔÇÖll be welcome :)  7pm meeting down the jug in leam.  Smartish stuff ie jeans, a t-shirt etc as clubbing afterwards :)
welcome to just meal it if youÔÇÖre feeling anti-fun :p

 Wk 2 Thursday 9th  Welcome Curry :)  
I will meet people at 6.20pm outside the Costcutter on campus to catch the bus down to leamington to be inside King Babas for 7pm for a welcome curry :)
Then weÔÇÖll retire to a pub/bar/watering hole

Wk 3 Thursday 16th  Three legged bar crawl‼
Fun, gaffa tape-induced, threeleggedness!
A great way to socialise and traverse Leam. WeÔÇÖll be crawling/hopping/skipping our way round Leamingtons world reknowed drinking establisheries and inevitably ending up in the, fortunately, one-and-only kelseys :)
I will meet campussy people at the bustop at 6.20pmish to be down the Duke for 7pm.

just a reminder that at the end of week 3 there is the Canoe freshers trip from the 17th to the 19th :)

Wk 4 Wednesday 22nd  Hi-Vis POP‼‼!!1  ( BuY these tickets quick, make sure itÔÇÖs a circling ticket :) You will be prompted to inform them which club you are with, input ÔÇÿcanoeÔÇÖ and all will be shiny :) )
Club POP! Night in the su, with circling before hand :) meeting at 7 of the clock in the copperrooms on campus. The theme is Hi-Vis so be as creative as you can :) The brighter the better!
(friendly warning: the drink ÔÇÿpurpleÔÇÖ will be consumed and spilt in copious amounts so donÔÇÖt wear anything too posh )

WeÔÇÖll be heading down to the Leam Boat Centre in Leamington for an opportunity to browse kit, times tbc btw :) A member of the exec will meet campusside peeps at the bustop as per usual :)

Another reminder that at the end of week 5 there is the ever brilliant Tyne Tour‼ This is the trip to go on and is really fun and good and amazing and awesome and yeah. :)

Wk 6 Thursday 6nd November  fireworks night in Canley
The great idea of putting an explosive substance in the hands of the canoe exec and watching the results is a staple of the canoe club calendar and not to be missed! WeÔÇÖll drink and be merry in Sams and mines house in Canley. I will meet people at the sports centre at 6.30 for the 2 min walk to tesco, purchase fluid type nourishment (alcohol), then continue on for 2 more minutes(!) to our delectable house where frivolities shall commence :) With explosions later :)

Also potentially at the end of week 8 ┬â”CardiffInternatioanlWhiteWater? trip

Wk 9 Wednesday 26th Circling POP! Theme Time Travel

Xmas Meal! Club Christmas meal is an excuse to dress smart and wear suits and dresses and stuff :)

also canoe pool session tonight at 8.30pm in the swimming pool :)
bring towel and swimstuff, maybe a t-shirt.

I think thatÔÇÖs enough bombardment for today, we leave you in peace :)

Garage clear out

Hi all

Ever had that worrying feeling that your returning to Uni a week early and wont have anything to do. Fear not for I have an exciting oppotunity just for you guys. 

This Sunday (21st September) I will be having a big clear out of the Canoe Club Garage at Westword as kit has just been dumped infront of all the boats. I will be there from 10am so if you have a few minutes or hours to spare this Sunday your help would be highly appeciated. 

We will be checking equipment and thowing anything out anything which is no longer fit for pourpose, sweaping out the garage and then replacing the kit in a more organised mannor while making sure the nventory records are up to date. All in all im hoping it won't take too long and many hands make light work. 

Kind regards from your new Kitler 

Hadyn xx

First term socials

Hiya all,

Apologies to those of you to whom this doesnt apply.

This termÔÇÖs first few socials are all about snatching them young and retaining as many freshers as possible┬á┬áOn that note, could I ask everyone to be nice and accepting (you all are anyway, just reminding to learn names and faces and engage with freshers after pool sessions in pub etc)┬á┬áif we could all make a concerted effort to appear friendly juring the first few weeks then, once we have them hooked, you can reveal your ice cold hearts.┬á

Lets attend the duck after every session in the first few weeks (I know this is hard on those from Leam but please try and stay for one drink (soft or real) just so people get to meet you off the water  ) 

The plan so far:

Oldies Social Thursday 2nd 7pm at the Jug in Leam, with an eye on heading to Neon. So please wear decent clothing (jeans not trackies, smartish shoes )

Bar crawl of some description round Leam week 3 thursday

Hi-vis POP! Week 4 (nice and easy to identify everyone) BUY THESE TICKETS QUICK‼! Stating that you are from ÔÇÿCanoeÔÇÖ pretty please! BUY AWAY! They are selling out fast!

Week 6 fireworks! Venue tbc.

A few non alcky socials dotted around here and there

Timetravel POP! Week 9 

With pub sessions after pool sessions 

cannot emphise enough about the WEEK 4 POP! Ticket purchasing urgency!

Loads of loath,
Social secs Lauren and Jamie

"I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you pay me back now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you." - Bryan Mills, Taken, 2008.

Surf trip and Surf trip T-shirts

Posted by: Gabs
It is almost that time of year again when Warwick Canoe head down to the Welsh coast for some hard-core kayaking and a bit of drinking (may be the other way round, I forget). IÔÇÖve been informed that the campsite at Newgale has dried out and so that is where will be again. Dates for this trip are Friday 20th of June ÔÇÿtil Monday 23rd.

We are hoping to have enough drivers sign up so that we can take 2 buses with one leaving on the Friday morning at about 10am and a second leaving Friday evening at around 6pm. On the way back (again, drivers permitting) one bus will leave on Sunday and the other on Monday.

Therefore, there are 4 sign ups. Please sign up to one bus for the journey there and one bus for the return journey. Signups wills close midday on Wednesday 28th of May to allow us time to organise the faffy transport.

Journey there sign ups (sign up to one):

Return journey sign ups (sign up to one):

Please be aware though, if there are not enough drivers/people to make one of the journey options viable we may have to remove it. But we will do our best to accommodate everyone!

The costs for this trip will depend on what you need but a quick breakdown is:
Around £20 for transport (to be confirmed depending on what transport actually happens).
£5 per person per night for camping


T-shirts:
If you would like a surf-trip t-shirt with everyoneÔÇÖs funny names on (whether you are going on the trip or not), you must buy them direct from the SU website (http://www.warwicksu.com/shop/product/10067170/). You select your size option in the checkout. Signing up for the trip on the canoe website does not order you a t shirt! Everyone that wants a t-shirt must buy it through the SU website!!

Thanks,
Gabs

Doggy Paddle, Woof Woof

Posted 11y 1mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Gabs
Sunday Week 4 (next week), or Sunday 18th May for those who shun the Warwick Week system, sees the return of Doggy Paddle.

Doggy Paddle is a yearly event in which canoeist of all ages paddle the 18 miles from Leamington to Stratford to raise money for the guide dog's association.

It's a largely flatwater paddle, with a few weirs and one compulsory portages (around the trebuchet of DEATH!!!).

Beverage is often close to hand in an buoyancy aid pocket (Although I could not possible condone an alcoholic beverage being consumed on this day trip).

It's a relaxing, fun break from Exam/Revision stress and a great opportunity to take the duo!

The Cost:
-£10 in entry fees which goes straight to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
-Final transport costs will be worked out when we know numbers, but the last three years it has been £5

Sign up deadline is Monday mid day (but please sign up sooner than that) so we can finalize transport arrangements.

Lots of love,
Gabs
