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

Hate to do this - those of you who owe polo money need to pay me back before the end of term. The exec decided that you wouldn't be able to sign up for surf trip otherwise.

"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 10y 11mth ago by Some Old Git
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):
Friday morning: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/308/
Friday evening: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/309/
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 10y 11mth 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 is here: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/307/
Sign up deadline is Monday mid day (but please sign up sooner than that) so we can finalize transport arrangements.
Lots of love,
Gabs
