Our very own Nigel Markey has an entry in this years Kayak Session Best Short Film Awards.

http://www.kayaksession.com/best-short-film-awards-2012-vote.php

They're all worth a watch but I genuinely think Breathless in Chile (Nigels video) is the best. So vote for it! Also all the others are pro kayakers so its pretty fukken cool that Nigel is alongside names like Steve Fisher

Vote for Nigel!

Reply to this email/comment on the website if you want me to wait for you! Also there's a cost £5 per person as a donation towards the fireworks. Bilbo xx

Nudity, Kayaking Kit and Cocktails!

Posted by: Bilbo

So a standard Thursday with Warwick Canoe.

Reminder to be at the pool 3pm on Thursday for the Right to Play Naked Calendar, itÔÇÖs for charity so if you donÔÇÖt go youÔÇÖre a horrible human being.

Then if youÔÇÖre not too exhausted thereÔÇÖs a kit trip to Leam Boat Centre where they have kindly given us the shop 6-8pm with special offers, 15% off everything, beer and cake. So if youÔÇÖre tired of wearing our pissy club wetsuits or want some decent thermals to keep you warm on the river make sure you come! Greg will be meeting anyone who wants to come at the arts centre bus stop 5ish so let him know and heÔÇÖll wait for you.

THEN itÔÇÖs on to Hoe HQ (my house) for a Halloween themed cocktail night! ThereÔÇÖs a papa johns on the corner so weÔÇÖll order in some pizza, or if youÔÇÖre feeling cheap and dirty then you can grab food from Viallis.

IÔÇÖve put up a sign up for cocktails (┬áhttp://warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/┬á)so I know how much booze to get it. It should come to around ┬ú5 per person.┬á For those of you who canÔÇÖt make kit trip/donÔÇÖt need anything then arrive at mine from about 8, my address is 5 Tachbrook Road.

Welwn ni chi gyd ddydd Iau!

Morning all,

Just when you thought I'd forgotten about you. I am training on the Leam again this week on Wednesday afternoon. Usual drill:

Sign-up

Meet outside sport centre with kit ready at 1550.

Suitable for all abillities.

We will be back on campus in time for the social and some well needed rehydration.

Make the most of this resource while the air is still relatively warm and the nights are not too drawn in! The last two sessions have been good fun, don't take my word for it, ask James or Stabbi. We will be concentrating on passing and moving this week while we still have the light.

Any questions?

See you all tonight.

Leam Training wk3

Good evening polo people, I'm running another training session on the river Leam this week with the intention of returning to campus in time for some well earned drinkies at Varsity. Usual plan: Meet at sport centre with kit ready at quarter to 4, Drive to Leam and get on river around half 4, paddle for an hour or so focusing on speed and manoeuvrability this week, then pack up and head back to campus. This trip is open to everyone but there is a limit on numbers due to logistical constraints. First come first served. Sign up is up in the usual place. Would be good to see old faces as well as new.
