Do you think the pool is just a tad too small for kayaking? Tired of only being in a boat for half an hour? We have the trip for you...

This Saturday (16th October) we are going on a trip to the great town of Leamington; it's where most of the non-freshers live... We'll be meeting at the Leam Boat Centre at about 11, where we shall have use of the changing rooms. We'll get changed and be on the water nice and quick. All the boats the club have will be there and a couple of us might even be in canoes. (Just me at the moment...)

Anyway, sign up is open now on warwickcanoe.co.uk; let me know if you can't log on. We aim to get everyone who signs up on the trip. It will cost just £3 for use of the changing rooms and transporting the boats to Leam; please bring £3 on the day.

We supply all the safety kit, just bring swim shorts, t shirt, old trainers and a fleece. If you need any more info, drop me an email or ask on the forum.

If you live on campus, we will arrange a meeting time on campus for you guys. You will then need to get the bus to Leam, which is about £3 return.

This man-made river stretches for 300 metres of fun but safe rapids and even forms a horseshoe to make walking back to the top easy (which is good because thereÔÇÖs nothing worse than walking). This trip is the best introduction possible for whitewater and is aimed at people of all abilities.

┬áThe date is set for Wednesday 13^th Oct, meeting outside the sports centre at 11.30am, returning to campus at about 5.30pm, costing ┬ú5 for the whole trip. You will need swimming gear, shoes you donÔÇÖt mind getting wet (old trainers are perfect) and a towel, the club can provide everything else, however if you have your own kayaking kit feel free to bring it along.

You will need to be a member of the club. This is for insurance purposes and IÔÇÖm afraid there are no exceptions. This costs ┬ú5 as well, but that is the cheapest and (in my opinion) the best canoe club membership out there. ┬áThis can be done at the sports centre or on the Warwick sport website. In addition we need you to have been at a pool session, to ensure you know how to swim and exit a kayak etc.

To sign up:

After joining the club, log in at www.warwickcanoe.co.uk by entering your uni card number and Warwick sport password in the boxes on the left, then click on trips, then Nene trip then click sign up. After this is it will say your sign up is awaiting confirmation. Once itÔÇÖs confirmed we will email you.

Confirmations will be given on a first come first served basis, although priority will be given to new members.

Any more questions feel free to contact any members of the exec on the website, by email or at a pool session (theyÔÇÖre the ones looking confused and incompetent).

See you on the river!

Hi Guys!

Sports fair is on this Tuesday (5th) from 9am-4pm.

If you could be around in the sports centre to encourage freshers to join that'd be great, even if it's just for half an hour.

Cheers,

Mofo
