Refs course at BUCS - please read!

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 ;) )

So it's the last week of term, just enough time for one more social!
This Friday (15th) we're having a film (definitely with no food and or beverages.......) in S1.69 from 7pm. 
If you dont know where it is: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/about/visiting/maps/interactive/
For those of you going on tour it's a good chance to see what we get up to in Scotland as I believe some of the footage from last year will be making an appearence. 
Lots of small welsh love

P.S bring some money, we ordered Dominos last year

Soooo... Next week on Wednesday we will be returning to the dark and scary alleyways of Cov... but not for long cos at the end will be the light of the Harvester followed by Ice Skating :D.
We shall meet at the Arts Centre Bus Stop at 5:30 on Wednesday and head to Cov for some lovely Grills at the Harvester and then Ice Skating in Planet Ice. The Skating is from 8pm till 10pm so if you want to come for just that then head over later and weÔÇÖll see you there :). Ice skating costs ┬ú7.70 inc skate hire.
Remember it doesnÔÇÖt matter if you canÔÇÖt skate... iÔÇÖm really bad :S, but itÔÇÖll be a good laugh :).
ThereÔÇÖs a sign up as well so I can let the Harvester know roughly how many we will be so theyÔÇÖre prepared.
See you there!!! DonÔÇÖt be late (and iÔÇÖll try too... :) )

Evening All,
Hope everyones recovered from Real Ale, I think I've broken my liver.
Anyway, this week we're heading to Laser Quest in Coventry on Thursday!
It's 4 games for only £10 and so much fun! We're booked in for 7pm so meet at the arts center bus stop at 6:15 to get the bus, or meet us there.
There's a sign up on the website so I can warn them of our arrival (http://warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/) and we'll probably head to a pub after.
See you Thursday!

Scotland Tour 2013 - Sign up
Posted 12y 3mth ago by Some Old Git
Posted by: Long Game
ÔÇ£IÔÇÖve never seen anything quite like this in all my life. The excitement is growing so much, I think the Geiger counter of Scotland Tour 2013 is going to go zoink ÔÇô off the scale. ÔÇ£People are coming from around the world, and theyÔÇÖre seeing us, and theyÔÇÖre seeing the greatest Canoe Club on Earth, arenÔÇÖt they? ÔÇ£There are some people who are coming from around the world who donÔÇÖt yet know about all the preparations weÔÇÖve done to get Scotland Tour 2013 ready in the last year, and I hear thereÔÇÖs a guy called Dr Busker who wants to know whether weÔÇÖre ready. [...] Yes, we are. The bunkhouses are ready. The Transport is ready. The T-shirts are ready. The Ale is ready. The Timmy is ready. The police are ready. And our Team Warwick Canoe athletes are ready, arenÔÇÖt they? ÔÇ£ThereÔÇÖs going to be more Swims, emotional hangovers and red light roulettes than youÔÇÖd need to bail out Greece and Spain together. Let me ask you in conclusion: can we, final question, [...] can we put on the greatest Scotland Tour that has ever been held? [...] Are we worried about the weather? WeÔÇÖre not worried about the weather! ÔÇ£Can we beat last year? Yes we can! Can we beat the year before? Yes we can! Can we beat Germany? I think we can. ÔÇ£So I say to you people, sign up for Scotland Tour 2013 and be part of history!ÔÇØ ÔÇ£Sign up will go live on Wednesday 20th February at 3pmÔÇØ ÔÇ£Thank you very much everybody. Have a wonderful Real Ale festival tonight and be sure to sign up. Thank you for all your support.ÔÇØ Tour will be a price of ┬ú185 (cheaper than last year as well). We will leave on Sunday 17th March and return on Monday 25th Any questions ÔÇô donÔÇÖt hesitate to ask Your trusty Mayor of Tour LG

Canoe Hoodie Logo Competition
Posted 12y 3mth ago by Some Old Git

Good evening kayakers,
I'm sure you've all noticed some older members sporting super cool canoe hoodies, well we're going to be putting an order in for this years lot.
BUT FIRST.....we need a logo!
That's where you lot come in, there's going to be a competition for desiging the new logo. Keep it relatively simple, it's going to be printed in one colour (probably black or white) and needs to include 'Warwick Canoe' on it somewhere.
Whoever designs the winning logo will get a hoodie for free!
So reply to this with your entries, or post it on the canoe site, by the 19th Feb (so I'm giving you a whole week).
Good Luck!
