Freshers Trip
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, and Stu
The first weekend away with Warwick Canoe is almost here.
It is a trip to North Wales for a whole weekend to sample some easy whitewater. All are welcome, from complete beginners to whitewater pros.
The trip is on the weekend of week 3, leaving late afternoon Friday 18th October and returning Sunday 20th in the evening. WeÔÇÖre staying in a Scout hut both nights and will venture out to nearby rivers during the day. We'll provide all the paddling kit you need, but if you have your own feel free to bring it.┬á
We also recommend you bring a waterproof jacket, sleeping bag, roll mat, old trainers that you can wear while kayaking and all the warm clothes you can find! If you need any help with bringing these things let us know ASAP and weÔÇÖll try and sort you out.
The price will be £40 for transport, accommodation and BOOZE, we will also organise a group meal on the Saturday night which will cost something in the region of £2-3, but will be optional.
So how do you go about signing up for this wonderful trip?
Firstly - you must be a member of the club and have attended a pool session (the pool session on Monday week 3 will be aimed at preparing you for the weekend, so make sure you come along!)
Secondly - Make an account on the website (if you have not already done so). I'd suggest doing this now rather than tomorrow, let us know if you have any problems. HereÔÇÖs a link to set up your account: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/register/
Finally - Be on this web page at 5pm tomorrow. A trip called "Freshers Trip" will appear under future trips and be available to sign up for. Simply fill in your details and click sign up. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Signups for this trip will close on Tuesday at midday and confirmation emails will go out early on Wednesday to let you know if youÔÇÖve got a place. (Unfortunately we are limited to the number of people we can take, so itÔÇÖs first come first serve)
Lots of small Welsh love

12th October - Stoke
11th January - Stoke

Sports Fair
Afternoon ladies and Gents
As you will probably have noticed by now the freshers have arrived and many of them will no doubt be wondering what the hell we're talking about when we say canoe and canoe polo, so the time has come once again to advertise ourselves.
With that in mind, the sports fair is taking place tomorrow at the sports centre from 10:30 to 17:30 and it would be great to see as many people as possible popping down to the sports centre to help us explain our clubs and hopefully get lots of new members. Even if you can only spare an hour to man the stands please come down!
Welcome Freshers
Welcome to the University of Warwick Canoe and Canoe Polo Clubs!
 
Our pool sessions are free to attend and aimed at people of all ability levels, from kayaking experts to complete beginners. Each session all you will need to bring is yourself, swimming kit and a t-shirt we will supply the rest.
 
The sessions are:
 
Canoe
Monday 9:00-10:00pm
Wednesday 9:00-10:00pm
Thursday 3.00-4.00pm
 
Canoe Polo
Tuesday 8.00-10:00pm
Friday 9:45-11:00am
And after every evening session we go to one of the pubs on campus.
At your first pool session you are required to swim 2 lenghts and then do a capsize drill while supervised and guided by one of our experience members.
 
River Trips
Each term we do several white water trips to different places around the country. Currently we have 3 weekend trips planned for the first term with a 4th one being a possibility. If you're interested in signing up for any trips you will need to be a member of the club and have attended at least one pool session although more are advised.
 In addition to club run trips members will sometimes try to find other people to go to HPP  (an artificial whitewater course in Nottingham) and other popular paddling spots with them by posting on the website or asking around the people at pool sessions.
Tournaments
Throughout the year, the canoe polo club hosts a range of friendly tournaments against other universities for cater for all ability levels. We also play at externally hosted tournaments since playing against members of other teams lets you pick up new skills and generally makes everyone a better player.
The year builds up to the fantastic BUCS Canoe Polo Tournament, where university teams from across the country come together for a weekend of polo and drinking (and not necessarily in that order), and of course to find who can field the best team! We have had a lot of success here, with the A team coming in 2nd, the Ladies took 5th, the BÔÇÖs 3rd, and the old members 4th last year.
Socials
In addition to visits to the pub after sessions we also run a wide variety of socials throughout term time with some of the highlights being pub golf, Christmas meal and our big end of year party. Just in the first 5 weeks of this term we have multiple pub trips, a 3 legged bar crawl around Leamington, circling at Pop a kit trip to a local kayaking shop and a cocktails night.
Sign up for trips and tournaments will be through our website so if interested please make an account for this website. To make an account on the website, follow this link: link
 
Looking forward to seeing you at a session soon!

Summer circuits
Good Afternoon all,
Are you trying desperately to get yourself in shape for the beach this summer or trying to fit into your favourite little black dress to no avail? I know I am, and that's why I plan to run a circuit training session every tuesday evening before polo.
I have arranged to have the activities room 1700 - 1800 hrs on tuesdays every week over the summer starting from next week (9th July).
The session is open to anyone who is interested. Bring friends and family, the more the merier. It will involve a warm up then 3 circuits comprising of 10(ish) excercises such as sits-ups, press-ups, planks and other lovely manoeuvres before a gentle warm down all done to music. We are going to take it inturns to pick the music so bring an ipod/mp3 device if you wish.
See you at polo tonight
Blackers
Summer Holiday Polo
Is the fact that campus already looks like something out of a zombie apocalypse film getting you down?
Are you desperate for a distraction from the fact that you don't seem to have the 3 month long holiday this summer that you used to have?
Are you just around campus and fancy laughing at those of us still here?
Well you're in luck, holiday polo starts today 19:15 to 21:30
Hope to see as many people as possible there.
