Hello everyone,
This Thursday 4th November is the Gear Trip and Fireworks (and KelseyÔÇÖs) night!!!
The gear trip is to Leam boat centre to solve ALL your gear needs; there will be a 15% discount on all gear, from nose clips to dry kit.┬á If you are considering buying any gear, or just want to have a look and see whatÔÇÖs available, this is your chance.
The plan is:
+ freshers are to meet on campus at the bus stop by the arts centre at 6:15pm to meet other campus people/Canley dwellers and LSD.  You will then be heading to Leam boat centre together for 7:00pm.
+for those that live in Leamington and are unsure of where Leam boat centre is, meet at the church by the sculpture at 7:00pm and weÔÇÖll walk there together.
After everyone has taken advantage of the gear trip at Leam boat centre we will be heading to my house (2 Southway, Leamington Spa, Warickshire, CV312PE) for some awesome FIREWORKS at the cost of £5 per person, aiming to be there at 8:30 for anyone not needing or being able to afford gear, they can meet us there.  Please have £5 with you, or your social sec might just be too poor to attend socials...
After an amazing firework display we will head to KelseyÔÇÖs!!!
If anyone gets lost at any step of the way (improbable- this seems foolproof) or has any queries, contact me on my mobile: 07905903249
See you all there,
Alice

Also there will be NO FRIDAY POOL SESSION THIS WEEK. 
 Hi guys! (oh i hate saying that)
As of this Thursday (week 3), the 3-4pm session on a Thursday will be for BEGINNERS ONLY. This gives all you beginners a fantastic chance to come along and have some structured coaching rather than the haphazard help that has been going on so far. The more advanced paddlers will be allowed back in the pool in about 6 weeks time.
Alex(Yellow) and myself will be running the coaching sessions. Any helpers that wish to come along may do so, but the priority for boats will be to the beginners.
So do you count as a beginner? If you have done none or very little paddling before then yes, this is you! We will be taking you from 'zero to hero'. For paddlers who have done a bit more, but feel like your basic skills are rusty, then come along too!
This week we will be covering the basics of forward paddling, backwards paddling and stopping. I will post up on the website every week as to what we are planning to cover in the session.
Tomorrow (Woho) Those of you coming from campus there is a bus at 10:19, make sure you don't miss it! Otherwise meet at Leam boat centre at 11am. Bring some lunch and dry clothes, some old shoes you don't mind getting wet is a good idea too. Cost is £3 and you'll need some money for the bus as well. Sign up on the website - see details below
Just what it says on the tin! Thursday week 3 (21st) Millenium Balti in Leamington meet there at 7:30. If you're not sure where it is you'll find it on google maps. We'll most likely go to Kelseys bar and evolve after. It's a great night out and the perfect opportunity to get to know others in the club better.
You definitely don't want to miss this one! A weekend trip to South Wales. We'll be leaving on Friday week 3 (22nd) at 4pm and returning on Sunday evening. This is a great introduction to whitewater kayaking, anyone can come as long as you have been to a pool session before and done a swim test and capsize drill.
Cost will be around £30. This will be confirmed in the next couple of days.
