Canoe Polo Hoodies
Always wanted a hoody which shows your love for the canoe polo club? Jealous of everyone who's already got one? Well now is the chance for you to have your own!
The hoodies will be zip-front ones, much like the ones some club members have at the moment. There will be a printed canoe polo logo on the back, the university logo embroidered on the front along with a name of your choice (also embroidered).
The cost is dependent on the amount we order but will be roughly £20.
The sizes are: S-36ÔÇÖÔÇÖ M-40ÔÇÖÔÇÖ L-44ÔÇÖÔÇÖ XL-48ÔÇÖÔÇÖ *XXL-52ÔÇÖÔÇÖ (chest size).
The colours can be found here: http://www.justhoods.co.uk/cs_jh050.htm (clicking on the hoody colour shows a picture).
I will be ordering hoodies at the start of next week with the hope they will be here ready for next term. If you want one please post your size, colour choice and name you want on the front (and your full name) below. If you have any questions/random babble please post it on the news thread - this thread is for ORDERS ONLY.
Love from your secretary.

POP!!!
Good afternoon canoeists!!!
ItÔÇÖs that time again (already)
Canoe club is going to POP next week, and we will be rocking up in bin bags.
If we can make canoe gear look sexy (questionable) then we can definitely do our best to make some sexy bin bag outfits.
I think this could be interesting, so there will be a prize for best costume.
As per usual, be there for 7, sitting down with drinks for 7:30.
Alice/AA/Road kill
AND just a quick note to say it is a POLO session at the pool tonight, be there for 7:30, everyone welcome.
Access to Sport Centre
 Hi All,
Me and Yellow where summoned to see Gemma Morris this morning following more reports of people using the side door to gain access to the sports centre. This is unacceptable. The side door can only be used to move kit in and out.
So from now on, if you wish to use the side door to move kit in and out you must ask the staff at reception first.
Anyone caught using the side door when they shouldn't be will be sent to a University Disciplinary hearing (This comes from Terry Monnington, and applies to all clubs not just us)
Clearly this shouldn't be a problem as you are all members of Warwick Sport and the Club anyway so you shouldn't need to use the side door, and Old gits returning for one off sessions can pay, most of them have jobs and earn plenty of money.
Rant over, have a good weekend
Mofo and Yellow
RAGE! Tournament
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
So most of the freshers have settled in now and know the general idea behind Polo... So it's about time we had a RAGE Tournament.
For those of you that don't know, RAGE is our internal tournament we have once or twice a term to give everyone some tournament time. The teams will have subs and the refs will be refing properly...
If you want to play, and of course you do, sign up now! Everyone that signs up can play, but please sign up if you want to come to Polo next week so we can arrange teams and a playlist.
Rules presentation week 7
Good evening Lads and Ladies
Now that we've been playing this game called canoe polo for 6 weeks some of you may be wondering what the referees are talking about when they furiously blow their whistle at you...
Well never fear your club is here to help. If you look at the website you will see that there is a polo rules page where they are set out simply here http://warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/polorules/
For those of you that prefer your rules less distilled there is a fuller version here http://warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/polorulesbook/  also on this page is Dr John's rules quiz which is an easy way of checking your understanding of the rules.
For those of you that are far too lazy to read web pages there is an alternative... G and Dr John will be giving a brief presentation before polo next week in the ramphal building details of which are:
Tuesday 16th November 5-6pm
Ramphal building room R1.15
This is a really good opportunity to get the rules explained to you by people who know what they're talking about
They could also give you a few hints on how to bend the rules...
much love
Coach Clough
New Years Tour & Club Jackets
I bring you two pieces of exciting news! Firstly! Signup for New Years Hardcore Tour is now open! This year we will be venturing to the Lake District for some epic paddling (lets be positive!). The dates of tour are 30th December ÔÇô 7th January. This trip is intended for experienced paddlers. If you are unsure if it will be suitable for you, still sign-up and we will get back to you (or just ask an exec member). Do hurry though, as there are limited spaces. Provisionally the cost of the trip is ┬ú170 but this is likely to drop. Provided we get 12+ people the bunkhouse is offering us a great discount. Also, the journey is much shorter than last year, so cheaper fuel costs should bring the price right down. For those interested, the bunkhouse we are staying in is Mains Farm Bunkhouse (www.edenvalleybunkhouse.co.uk). Secondly! This week we're doing a jackets order for the Montane Extreme Smock. These are the same jackets as were ordered last year, back by popular demand! They will cost ┬ú65, which is an amazing price considering they usual sell at ┬ú100. IÔÇÖm sure most of you will have seen them on older members, but if not take a look:http://www.facebook.com/l/11d92rBNzI9yUqkC9K_FV8btUcA;www.montane.co.uk/products/men/extreme/extreme-smock/99 WeÔÇÖll be getting them in black, with your name and warwick canoe embroidered on the front, and warwick canoe printed on the back. The sign up is on now, and will be closed at the end of the week! Sign up under trips, and send these details to e.m.dunn@warwick.ac.uk: - Your name - The name you want to be printed on the jacket - Size (S-XXL) That is all folks! LSD (Tour Sec)
