Leam training wk 4
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.

Circling week 4!
GreetingÔÇÖs guys and girls,
Congrats to those who made it through the WANK challenges to the end of pop last night.  Me and Stabby were very impressed with your stamina and dance moves.
┬áSo hereÔÇÖs some more fun for week 4! WeÔÇÖre circling on Wednesday (24th┬áto those of you still in real time) meet outside the Union at 7pm sharp for 3 hours of consummation games then pop at 10pm to throw some more shapes/stare longingly at Disco Dave. The theme is HI VIS! The brighter the better, weÔÇÖre expecting lots of neon and glow sticks and hi vis jackets.
Look forward to seeing you all there!
Love your social sex

Bath Uni Polo Tournament
BATH UNI POLO TOURNAMENT Yup, its another polo tournament that's coming up round the corner. Its a one-day tournament on the 10th November, Saturday of Wk 6 weekend. Final details will be released closer but expect to leave on saturday and be back late. There's a Open League and as well as a Beginner's League for Freshers so please do sign up! IT IS the same weekend as the Ladies Cheltenham tournament so, ladies, please join the Ladies league and only sign-up if Jo says yes (: So, there's a sign-up on the website (www.warwickcanoe.co.uk for those who have yet to find it). Ask any questions here and sign-up under Trips if you would like to go. We would need both drivers and players. This tournament is only going to be possible if we have enough of both!!
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.

Freshers trip
The moment you've all been waiting for...
The first weekend away with Warwick Canoe looms. You may be sick of us oldies bang on about it, but that's because it never fails to be a legendary trip and is so good it will define your life thus far.
It is a trip to South Wales for a whole weekend to sample some easy whitewater. All are welcome, from complete beginners to whitewater pros, but the trip is aimed at newbies to the club, but if you're even remotely interested, put your name down.
The trip is on the weekend of week 3, leaving on the afternoon 19th October and returning 21st October in the evening. We'll stay at a bunkhouse for both nights  and venture out to the rivers during the day. We'll provide all the paddling kit you need, but if you have your own feel free to bring it. 
The price will be £35 for transport and accomodation, we will also organise a group meal which will cost something in the region of £2-3, but will be optional.
How do I sign up?
Firstly - you must be a member of the club and have attended a pool session. 
Secondly - Make an account on the website (if you have not already done so). I'd suggest doing this now rather then tomorrow. There is a guide here: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/login/
Finally - Be on this web page at 4pm tomorrow. A trip called "Freshers Trip" will appear under future trips and be available to sign up for. Simply fill in your details and click sign up. Done.
If you have any problems or queries email me or any other members of the exec.

Leam Trip and Socials!
Hello All!
Slight essay, but itÔÇÖs all important stuff!
Firstly this Thursday (11th) weÔÇÖre going to Varsity (on Campus) for some food and beverages, probably ending up in Kelseys. Table is booked for 6pm but IÔÇÖll be getting there about half 5 because IÔÇÖm super keen. If you could leave a comment on the website or something to let me know if youÔÇÖre coming so I can warn Varsity.
Secondly this Saturday (13th) weÔÇÖve got a trip to the massively dangerous (jokes, itÔÇÖs totally flat) river Leam. ItÔÇÖs great for fresherÔÇÖs who havenÔÇÖt been kayaking much before to get used to being fully kitted up and on a river. For those of you living on campus meet at 10am at the sports centre and for people who live in Leamington meet at about half 11 at Leam Boat Centre in Jefferson Gardens. You can sign up to this on the website (http://warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/ Leam Trip, NOT Leam training).
Thirdly our week 3 social, the WANK Challenges (Warwick Association of Noble Kayakers, obviously) will be on Wednesday (17th). Meet at Varsity again at 7pm for a fun filled evening before heading to pop (so get your tickets now! Not circling tickets, just normal ones). Also the dress code is a plain white t-shirt that you donÔÇÖt mind getting ruined and bring some marker pens!
Finally WeÔÇÖll be circling week 4, but IÔÇÖll send out more details in another email next week because most of you probably stopped reading .
Lots of small Welsh love
