Elections!
Good Morning! Next term we run our annual elections night (dates arenÔÇÖt set yet but it will be around the first few weeks of term 3 so keep an eye out at the beginning of term 3 for an email with more details about the night). So if you were thinking about running for a position on the exec I highly recommend it! ItÔÇÖs a great way to have your say in how the club is run and looks great on your CV. There are lots of positions available so you can pick the one that sounds best to you. The club needs an exec full of team players, people who are committed to the club and their exec position and who are generally not an arse! The positions are: Canoe President ÔÇô general organization and running of the club Vice President ÔÇô general organization and running of the club Treasurer ÔÇô looking after the clubs accounts and budgets Secretary ÔÇô take minutes at meetings and sort out club clothing Kit Secretary ÔÇô ensure all kit is in decent condition and order new kit as needed Coaching Secretary ÔÇô organize pool sessions and courses throughout the year Tour Secretary ÔÇô make sure Scotland Tour is amazeballs Polo President ÔÇô general organization and running of the club Treasurer ÔÇô looking after the clubs accounts and budgets Secretary ÔÇô take minutes at meetings and sort out club clothing Kit Secretary ÔÇô ensure all kit is in decent condition, fix boats and order new kit as needed Coach ÔÇô run drills and organize games at pool sessions, plan tactics talks Tournament sec ÔÇô organize Warwick Tournaments and external tournaments throughout the year Joint positions Social sec (x2) ÔÇô being fun Webmonkey ÔÇô keeping the website up to date and ringing Tom Jin/Greg/Webbo when it all goes wrong ThereÔÇÖs more information on each position here: http://warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/execpositions If youÔÇÖre thinking of running for president then youÔÇÖll need to submit a short manifesto of why you think youÔÇÖd be best suited for it (only a paragraph, 200 word limit). Also thereÔÇÖs a slight change this year, at the beginning of the evening weÔÇÖll hold a vote on whether or not to change the position of ÔÇÿwebmonkeyÔÇÖ to ÔÇÿmediamonkeyÔÇÖ. Mediamonkey will be the same as webmonkey, with the added responsibility of keeping the media side of things up to date, e.g making sure someoneÔÇÖs taking photos on trips/socials and uploading them to the website. If you have any questions about the positions then reply or ask the current exec (you can see who is who on the exec page of the website or on the facebook page). Also if youÔÇÖre planning to run for anything pleeeeease reply to this email and let me (or any exec member) know so we can make sure each position is filled. Iechyd da Bilbo x

BUCS Canoe Polo and Referee's Course!
Hello all!
BUCS Canoe Polo is on the 25th - 27th of April this year, held once again at Hatfield Water park nr. Doncaster.
This is a fantastic weekend of competitive polo, copious alcohol consumption (and not always in that order!!), and a cracking party. Last year, we had a great success with the A team taking home a Silver medal, the Ladies taking 5th and the B's 3rd, let's try for an even better result this year, and as far as I can see there's nothing to stop us achieving that!
So, to get involved (and you really should), all you need to do for the moment is reply to this e-mail or post on the relevant thread on the Canoe site to express your interest.
Now the important bit:
As well as having the opportunity to bring home some medals, you have the chance to become a qualified refereee for the very low price of only £12 (or £20 if you want a whistle and cards as well). There might even be some funding from the club for people this year because we are running short of referees at the moment and every team we take to a competition 'needs' to have a referee in order to play!
The long and the short of this e-mail is:
Reply (or post on the site) A.S.A.P if you want to do the Referee's assessment at BUCS and reply/post but-not-so-ASAP if you just want to play!
Let's win some (more) medals!
Nathaniel.
