We will be hosting a trip on the river Leam on Saturday week 2 (15th October). The plan is grab as many boats as we can and take them to Leamington, get on the river and paddle on it for an hour or two. We will do some teaching and this is a great trip for you freshers to have an experience of paddling a sensible distance before our upcoming Freshers trip. Details of times and a small price for van hire will be sent in an email on Monday and a sign up should follow shortly after. Any problems or questions, post up on here or email one of the exec, our addresses are on The Exec page to the left of the screen

On Friday the 8^th July Greg and I picked boats up from the balcony and it was in a reasonable state and we took boats and left it in a reasonable state.  During the course of my holiday I received complaints about the balcony from canoeists trying to retrieve their boats from behind a mountain of polo boats, piled up in a ridiculous fashion, on all 3 steps.   Moreover, the middle step polo boats were left precariously untied and the paddle bin moved in front of the fire exit (despite the fact there was actually room for it on the steps).  Therefore, when we returned from Wales Greg and I spent a good hour or more rearranging the balcony and securing the polo boats before we could put our boats back.  In light of this I would ask:

1) Holiday Poloists- please remember that canoeists are still accessing┬ákayaks from the pool even though we donÔÇÖt have pool sessions, so please try not to make them completely inaccessible.

2) EVERYONE tie up the all boats- donÔÇÖt be lazy.

3) Poloists: 20 polo boats on the balcony, 7 in the cupboard at the pool- excessive much?  The 4 plastic ones should be moved to the garage.

4) Anyone using the balcony do NOT block the fire exit there is no need and it will get us in trouble

Not impressed that I had to waste time sorting out the polo boats.

Surf Trip is finally here! (This is the last email I promise) We are meeting at 9am outside the sports centre tomorrow morning. We are not going via Tesco at campus because there are supermarkets at the other end we can go to. Party tent is going so there will be space to sleep in that. Looking forward to tomorrow and see you all then!

Well the end of term is fast approaching, but we still have time for one more social before that horrible moment where you realise those exams have results which need to be given to you.

SO next Wednesday (that's the 22nd Bryce) we will be having a barbecue, followed by a last visit of the year to pop. If you come down to the field behind Tocil from 1 o clock onwards we will be sizzling meat on some grills into the afternoon, accompanied by rounders and a few beverages. From 7 onwards we will circle, possibly moving to the piazza at some point. After today's stirling performance by certain members of the club in raft building the theme for the evening will be onesies. Un-onsied people will be punished.

Pop looks as though it may be busy so buy your tickets in advance; circling will be outside (with contingency plans for bad weather) so you wont need to buy the circling tickets (not that they're any more expensive if you did have some strange urge to go in early).

See you there!
