Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare for one of the best socials of the year (I know I say that a lot, but this time it's true)

Not got a date for Valentines day? Then spend Thursday drowning your sorrows with over 100 ales, ciders, fruit wines, tasty mead and delicious hog roast. Got a date for Valentines day? Sack them off and come drink MORE BEEEEEEERRRRRRRR.

Yupp, this Thursday it i once again the great and mighty Warwick University Real Ale Festival.

As well as all this glorious food and drink we will also be graced by the presense of the legendary Dr Busker.

Be warned, there is no advance ticket sale so to guarantee entry to the very best night on campus all year make sure you are there when the door opens at 6pm.

See you Thursday!

The National Student Rodeo 2013 is here! For those of you who don't know, NSR is the largest event in the kayaking calendar worldwide. Technically, it is a student freestyle competition, however it is actually so much more then that. Inflatable sofa races, duels in duos, synchronised drysuit dancing, attacking a man in a giant bunny suit etc. It's the Glastonbury of kayaking. Everyone must go at least once in their lifetime, or they're not a true kayaker. Party theme is circus, so get your thinking hats on. For the more boring details, it is weekend 8 (1st-3rd March), staying at the artificial whitewater course in Nottingham (this means you can laze around in bed until 3pm if you'd like, a canoe club trip novelty). The cost will be about £45, but depends a little on numbers. For this you get transport, camping, a meal on saturday, party ticket and entrance to one event (K1). Don't worry if you're a rubbish kayaker like me, more points are awarded for doing silly things and generally being a prat then anything else. There are optional extras listed below, email me if you'd like to buy one: Extra event* - £5 Hoody - £21 T-shirt - £10 Food on Friday night (beer & burger) - £5 *extra events are C1, Squirt, Topo Duo. The Old Skool competition is a turn up on the day event, just bring a pre-2000 boat and kit. If you would like to come along to this majestic event, sign up here: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/265/ For more info, look here: http://www.nationalstudentrodeo.org.uk/2013/ Skremos

As you may have heard on the grape vine, Pick and Mix are venturing into the pool for a spot of canoeing this Friday (8th) at 1:30pm - 2:45pm

To make it the best possible session for them, we'd like the help of members to go through the basics - running swim tests and capsize drills for people and showing a little bit of how to get around. After we have everyone moving around in boats a bit we'll run a few fun games, bulldog, silly races and the like.

Anyone can come help out - you only have to show people what you yourself did when you joined and we want people to see what a fantastic friendly club we are, so the more the merrier. It would be great if the Pick-and-mix-ers had such a good time they all want to come join us!

Please post below if you think you might come along so I have a rough idea who'll be there.

Hugs and Kisses.

Hey all,

I got this email from sheffield hallam:

"I would also like to mention that Hallam have organised an inter uni canoe polo comp. Nothing big or too serious just a few polo matches and training to get us ready for Varsity and BUCS. It will be held at manvers water centre (outdoors) on the 24th Feb from 11 onwards. Ladies, open and B teams are all welcome to enter.  Confirmed so far are hallam, uni of Sheff, notts trent, uni of notts and you are more than welcome if you want to enter teams? We are asking for 2pound a head to cover the cost of manvers."

who's interested? it's the day after a div 4 tournament.
It would be a great opportunity to play outside before BUCS!

As tournament organiser: who wants to go
As lady ;) : can we get a ladies team together?

Hello all

Polo hoodies will be ordered Monday 28th (next Monday). This means you have until Sunday night to POST ON HERE what hoodies you want, what name, what colour and size. If you send me an email I will ignore it because it's easier to keep track of one thread than 20 emails.

Fancy being a part of Warwick Canoe history? Warwick Canoe are going to the Lake District for the first time in years. Since Refreshers was cancelled due to poor weather, this is the best oppurtunity to get an introduction into whitewater this year. So get on it! When? The weekend of week 4, i.e. 1st - 3rd February. Leaving Friday evening returning Sunday. Where? Lake District. Idiot, it's in the title. Who? Everyone, from novice to these lasses: http://vimeo.com/57485367 (Note, paddling will be distinctly more tame then in this video) The price will be somewhere in the region of £35-40, depending on numbers. How do I sign up for this magical adventure? Sign up is already open, here: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/263/ Remember our motto; trample the weak, hurdle the dead. Skremos

Hi, BUCS Canoe Slalom is fast approaching and is once again being held at the tees barrage white water course up in Teeside. The dates of this are the 15th -17th February which is the weekend at the end of week 6. As this is a BUCS trip this is generously subsidised from the university meaning we only need to pay for part of the accommodation and all the transport is subsidised. The exact cost of the weekend will depend on numbers but should be no more than £15 (getting cheaper the more people we have), plus any food and drink that you need for the weekend. This is open to people of any experience and is good fun from what I have been told about it. A sign up is now live on the website if you want to go and I need to have entries in by the 29th January so please sign up on the website before then.
