Jackets 2012
Feeling cold? Alone? Afraid? Sexually humiliated? Of course you are. Look at you, in your very average outerwear. That fashionable coat couldn't withstand a slight draft. No wonder you're a gibbering wreck. Don't worry - as ever the Canoe Club has come to your aid. Each year we buy Montane Extreme Smocks to repel that harsh winter. It's a trade secret what they're made of, but it's probably unicorn feathers or something to be quite so good. Not only that, they're incredibly windproof and unlike nearly every other jacket on the market are 100% effective when soaked. Some members have even swam in them and say they still retain their properties (this makes them excellent for pulling over wet kit and keeping you warm between polo matches etc). The website is here: http://www.montane.co.uk/products/men/extreme/extreme-smock/99 The price is £91. I know this is steep, but it is the warmest thing you can own and, treated well, will last the rest of your life. They come in Blue, Red, Black and Green. One of the colours is for people who like BDSM, but I wont tell you which. Sizes are fairly standard (Small - XXLarge). Older chaps and chappettes will be wearing theirs around for sizing (I'll be wearing my medium to Christmas Meal tonight). To place an order, go to this page: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/jackets/ The deadline for an order is 2nd January. See you at the Christmas Meal! Skrummer
Dates - Scotland Tour
Hello people of Warwick Canoe, It has come to my attention that some of you may have recently laid your eyes on Brice dancing the Tango. I would therefore like to cheer you up by bringing the thought of Scotland Tour to your attention. For those of you who dont know, Scotland Tour is our yearly tour, which happens in the Easter holidays. Recent tours have included emotional hangovers, crashing university vehicles, a naked chair, ketchup-covered bodies and certain events that must never be mentioned again that have mentally scarred myselfoh yea and some kayaking. I would thus like to invite you to keep the dates from Saturday 16th March to Sunday 24th March free. This is the first week of the Easter holidays. I would like to thank everyone who expressed their opinion regarding their preference of the dates of tour and apologise to those who have been disappointed. The decision was a unanimous exec decision (arse covering = tick). That is all for now See you all at POP tomorrow LG

Bryce dances the Tango
As most of you know in less than two weeks I am dancing the tango for charity. I'm not sure which charity - cancer research and guide dogs have been mentioned.
I need your support as I am representing Warwick Canoe and Canoe Polo! As such if no one turns up it makes the club look bad. The event is on the 27th November, Tuesday week 9. Doors open at 6.30 the show starts at 7. Yickets cost £5. Buy your tickets here:
http://www.warwicksu.com/ents/event/9282/
If you're no longer a member of the uni get someone to buy a ticket for you.
As it is a charitable event, if you don't go then the blind, cancerous dogs will die from the polar ice caps melting as holes in the ozone are made by constant pollution. If you let this happen you're a bad person!!!!!
Cantankerous Love
Bryce
Socials!
Shwmae
Fireworks were a success, no casualties (except the tree and that rat..) and Im sure Im not the only person whos feeling a little delicate today.
Next week weÔÇÖre having the Polo socials so look out for another email letting you know whatÔÇÖs going on. Men folk youÔÇÖre going to have to sort yourselves out, women folk weÔÇÖll probably do the usual pillow fighting in our underwear.
Some forward planning for you, sort your lives out and buy your Skool Dayz Week 8 circling (24th November) and Pop Week 9 circling (28th) tickets. Get them NOW!
Small Love

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!
