 It's the trip you've all been waiting for!!!

 

BUCS Slalom will this year be at Holme Pierrepoint. We will be leaving the afternoon/evening of  Friday 25th February and returning on the evening ofSunday 27th. The weekend involves about 4 runs down the course. Swimming is safe and fun.

 

For more idea about what it is, have a look at http://warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/photos/canoe/218/ or ask someone who looks intelligent! If that fails, ask a member of the exec.

 

This is a free trip apart from buying your own food and copious amount of drink (non-alcoholic of course, I would never endorse large alcohol consumption).

 

Terms and conditions:

We will be camping. No moaners allowed.

There is a Cardiff polo tournament that same weekend, so if you are planning to go on that, don'y sign up for slalom.

You need to sign up on the website. SIGNUP OPEN NOW!

Pub golf

This Friday sees one of the biggest socials of the year.

an opportunity to pit your drinking prowess against the other members of the canoe club.

We will be starting at the dirty duck on campus at 19:00 then heading to costcutter and catching the 19:40 bus to Leamington. If you're late you will have to catch up at the next watering hole. We'll head through the cheaper pubs in Leamington, finally ending the night in kelseys, it's going to be awesome.

The theme is ages: so 1st years or canoe freshers come as babies/toddlers.

2nd and 3rd years as teenagers

4th years as grown up professional types

and those with a degree as pensioners.

Look forward to seeing you all on Friday.

Einstein, Alice and Cloughy

Posted by: Yellow
Next Sunday (Week 2, 23/1/11) sees the first Warwick B Team Tournament. Tournament experience is essential and this gives you a chance to get it without being blasted by Nottingham's A team!
Sign up is now up. If you played in the B team at the Winter tournament, sign up for the B team, otherwise sign up for the C/Ladies team as appropriate (girls sign up for both). The captains will pick the final teams and there might be some movement between them. Potter has agreed to captain and keep for the Cs.
SIGN UP NOW!

There was an issue with the C Team sign up, so if you tried to sign up and couldn't, please try again.

Refreshers Trip

ItÔÇÖs time to lose that Christmas holiday weight and don some tight latex material on this yearÔÇÖs REFRESHERS TRIP! We will be heading to North Wales on Friday 28th January (meet at the sports centre at 1600) and will be coming back in the evening on Sunday 30th January. We have a hired a great bunkhouse from a very accommodating lady called Miss Jones (Have you met herÔǪ?), which is very cheap. Consequently, the weekend will only cost around ┬ú30. This trip is suitable for all levels and for those of you who harbour ambitions of going on Easter Tour to Scotland, itÔÇÖs worth remembering that you need to have at least one river trip under your proverbial belt. This trip is excellent. Someone died of disappointment last year because they couldnÔÇÖt make it. DonÔÇÖt be that person. Sign up will be at 2230 THIS EVENING, there are only twenty places. . . Wet love, Buck Rogers Vice Presidente
