Dartmoor Trip

***Dartmoor Trip***

Hey paddlers!

Our next trip will be from the 4th to the 6th Nov (weekend of week 5) to Dartmoor!

We’ll depart Friday afternoon and return to campus late Sunday evening. This trip is designed for people of all abilities so it doesn’t matter if you’ve never been on moving water before.

Signups open on our website this Thursday at 12:00. In order to sign up you need to make an account. It’s best to do this in advance as places go fast! https://warwickcanoe.uk/ You must also have Canoe membership to sign up for the trip.

Once you’ve signed up your place will be confirmed by the exec a few days after signups.

The trip itself will cost £45, which includes transport, accommodation and kit. Once sign ups close your place will be confirmed by a member of the exec and you’ll be given further details of what you need to bring.

Remember spaces are limited so sign up fast!

TIME TO BUY MEMBERSHIP +BURSARY

Posted 2y 11mth ago by Adi Cormack

TL;DR- Buy membership to continue to come along to sessions, both clubs need an 'on-campus' membership, the sports officer bursary is an opportunity for those struggling financially to still be able to participate in sport

Hey everyone it's me again talking about memberships...

It is really important that you have bought membership if you want to keep coming to the sessions. Without it, you will be refused entry into the pool.

Both clubs are 'on campus' sports and so require you to buy:

Sports Federation Student Membership
Club Pass Membership Fee (ON CAMPUS)

Afterwards, it will just cost £6 to buy the standard membership for both clubs. We recommend you buy both to ensure you can make the most out of your paddling experience at university and all we have to offer!

We do understand however, that this is an expensive cost and so the SU Sports Officer (Emma Birch) has a bursary set up designed for those students who face financial hardship but demonstrate a passion for sport and want to be able to participate. More information can be found here: https://forms.office.com/r/8V7MZxS815

If you require any more information feel free to contact me, Sam, our club welfare officer Toby or any of the other exec who will be happy to help!

><> ><> Nottingham Polo trip cancellation <>< <><

Posted 2y 11mth ago by James Hickmott

Hi everyone,

We're sorry to announce this, but unfortunately our polo trip to Nottingham next week has been cancelled due to dangerous levels of toxins in the water. We were all looking forward to this, so we're currently trying to organise a smaller, friendly tournament with Birmingham Uni. The good news is that this would hopefully take place in our normal pool session on campus, so you'll no longer need to worry about the early mornings!

This should still be a good chance to practice some of the new things we'll learn in our snacktics session, with proper rules, so everyone will be welcome to come along.

We'll give you all know more information as soon as we have it.

Polo love,

James and all the exec

Week 3 POP!

Posted 3y 0mth ago by Emma Hymas

Hello Everyone,

Week 3 POP! is fast approaching and with that comes the announcement of a theme!

We’ve chosen to kick of this year with something we feel will allow you to really get to know one another.

‘We’re famous for’ - Come dressed as something your hometown/area is famous for. Whether the best thing you’ve produced is Greg Wallis or perhaps the first ever Cheese & Pickle sandwich. We want to see the best (and maybe worst) your area has to offer.

You’ll need an Event only ticket for week 3, as we will be circling in Claycroft before making our way over to POP! (more details of the location will be on the facebook event shortly).

Make sure to buy BEFORE THEY SELL OUT!!! We don’t want anyone sad the morning of. https://tickets.warwicksu.com/ents/event/22902/

><> ><> Snacktics <>< <><

Posted 3y 0mth ago by James Hickmott

Ciao all,

Seeing as we're almost at the end of our taster sessions, it's now time for a snacktics session. For those who have never been, it's a relaxed session where we will be discussing the various rules of canoe polo, as well as a few basic tactics commonly used in the game. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone new to the sport to hopefully help you have a better idea of what's going on in a game as we are fully aware it may seem quite daunting to anyone who's never played. as a bonus, there will also be free snacks for everyone to enjoy throughout!

The session will be held in S0.20 (Social sciences building) from 19:15-20:00 next week on Tuesday the 18th, afterwards, we will then all head over to the pool session where we can hopefully try out some of the things we discuss.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Polo love,

James and all the exec

In week 3 we will be heading to this year's Nottingham Canoe Polo tournament. We will be entering an Open A-Team, a Ladies' Team, and a freshers team. A freshers team is made up of entirely new players to the sport, who will be playing against other university teams that are also new to the sport.
