Hi all,


Bristol Polo Tournament on Saturday the 12th of Feb, the day before the Warwick A Team Tournament. It starts at 16.30 and it is in Bristol at their heated indoor pool. We are thinking of entering an open team or two, depending on the numbers interested. Does anyone fancy it?


If so, sign up is up now.

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.

Movember last day

This could be your most important sign up ever.
To mark the last day of Movember and to promote the TPCC (The Prostate Cancer Charity) Einstein will be conducting prostate examination before and after Polo on Tuesday. Sign up now.
Apart from the main object of promoting menÔÇÖs health, there is another serious reason to participate as Professor Shipman (EinsteinÔÇÖs med school  tutor) explains:  Before clinical training in the wards our students have to satisfactorily conduct 35 PMEs (Preventative medical examinations). Richard Beckett has 32 to complete before the Christmas break, which is quite a challenge. Other students are better placed, but unfortunately RichardÔÇÖs PMEs during breast cancer awareness week were disallowed for reasons that will be the clarified during the fitness to practice hearing in January.
So help yourself, and help Einstein ÔÇô sign up now.  
(Unfortunately for some reason I can't create a sign up so just post here if you want Einstein to slip you a digit)

Winter tournament - please help set up

Hello everyone,

As you are all no doubt aware, the Warwick Winter Canoe Polo Tournament is taking place on Sunday the 5th of December. The tournament starts at 10am, but we will need help setting up from about eight thirty. Also, we will need hands spare to assist the ushering of teams and their kit to the poolside. I'd like to propose that all players picked to play for any Warwick team (Einstien excluded) attempt to be at the Sports Centre for nine at the latest whereat I shall meet and allocate a role to each of you. Anyone not picked is also welcome to make a hero of themselves. Just for my own peace of mind, could those of you who intend to attend in order to help at this early hour please write their names below. 

Cheers,

Alfie x

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.

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
