Doggy Paddle

Sup Boys 'n' Girls,

Sunday Week 3, or Sunday 12th 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 or the open!

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/277/
Please sign up asap so we can finalize transport arrangements.

Hugs and Kisses

Hello Kayakers,

ItÔÇÖs that exciting time of year again when you get to order the fantastic canoe hoodies!!
 
The hoodies will have your name and the Warwick crest on the front and the NEW CANOE LOGO designed by EJ on the back.
 
They will cost just over £20 each and you have a choice between a normal or a zippy hoodie.
 
If you would like to order a hoodie, please go on this website (http://www.originalhoodieco.com/) and select Warwick Canoe from the list at the top of the page. This will take you to the page where you can select the colour, size, type of hoodie and what name you want embroided on your brand new hoodie.
 
You then need to pay for your hoodie by following the PayPal link on the page. Simple. The price will initially show up as £18, as this is the price without VAT which will be added at the end, bringing the total to about £21.
 
The first deadline is on the 19th of April if you want your hoodie to arrive at the beginning of next term. 
 
If you\'d like to see what the hoodies feel like and what the sizes are find a climber, as our hoodies will be of the same type as theirs.
 

Polo Hoodies have arrived

Refs course at BUCS - please read!

Posted 12y 0mth ago by Some Old Git

Hey guys,

I talked to some of you already, but I'm making it official now.

There will be a ref's course at the BUCS weekend, on Friday morning (19th April).
The way it works is that there will be lectures on the rules etc first. Then there will be some sort of multiple choice test, which you'll have to pass to then be allowed to qualify as a ref (you'll have to ref at least one actual game and be watched by the officials before they then decide if you qualify).
Currently the club has two official refs - and they are leaving at the end of this year. To compete in eg the national league, we have to have offical refs. So please do it!
It's also really good because it will increase your understanding of the game!

there is a "small" cost attached:
£20 (or £12.50 without rulebook and cards)

we need to double check, but the university usually pays 50% of that if you're not a finalist and 20% is you're a finalist (that will have to be confirmed, it's just that it used to be this way...)
As you can see, it's really not that expensive, especially since we don't have to pay entry fees for BUCS etc. so please, please, please do it!
Post here if you're interested

Cheers,
Jo



Logistics:
Usually we take an "early" minibus and the van and drive to Doncaster in time for the ref's course - for those who don't want to attend the course and/or have to work on Friday, there will be a late bus leaving as well (this is NOT a signup for the busses, that will happen later, it's just to tell you that transport is not an issue ;) )
