BUCS Canoe Polo - MUST READ
Posted 15y 0mth ago by Some Old Git

Alright fitties,
Alright fitties,
BUCS Canoe Polo is on the 24th-25th April 2010 (weekend of week 0).
We'll be meeting at the Sports Centre at 15:00 on Friday 23rd April to load boats and kit. Arrive on time or i'll strangle you with my lasso.
We are headed to:
Hatfield Water Park,  
Old Thorne Road 
Hatfield 
Doncaster 
DN7 6EQ
We are camping on the fields behind the game lakes (so bring sleeping bag, roll mat/thermorest/insulation etc.).
Bring your own tent or sort yourself a space with somebody else on the forum thread.
If we can avoid taking the club party tent, that means less faf and a quicker get away on Sunday evening.
Bring appropriate (warm) clothes/kit. If you have cooking stoves/pans bring them. Make sure you cover all bases and bring cutlery/plate. Full kit list is on the website.
There is a meal included on the Saturday evening, you'll need a meal ticket to get this. Meals tickets come in the captains packs that Rich, Alex, Madi and G will get on Friday at 21:00.
Games start at 08:00 on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
On Saturday evening at 21:00 there's gonna be a  "Wild Wild West" party  taking place in the on-site Marquee. That means you need to get a costume ready, cowboys, indians, sheriffs, etc. etc. - be creative!
We'll arrive back late on the Sunday evening.
A Team = BUCS Open
B Team = Reed (Non-BUCS)
Ladies = BUCS Ladies
Old Gits = Old Boys (Non-BUCS)
There should be a referees course taking place over the weekend. This is a great chance to properly learn/refresh the rules and will improve your game skills. We don't have details yet, but email me if you're interested
Freshers, if you don't move back into halls until the Saturday make sure you've figured out how to get to the Sports Centre for 15:00 on Friday. Either get on the website and find a place to crash on Thursday night or get dropped on Campus on Friday.
There is one last BUCS training session on Thursday 22nd April 20:00 - 21:30
FINALLY: We're getting classy white polo shirts (like the black ones you'll have seen us modelling all year) - your captains have already spoken to you about this. If you are getting one, please bring a cheque for £12 made payable to UWSU, either to the session on Thursday 22nd April or on the Friday 23rd at 15:00 when we leave. (I'm sure Alex (Yellow) will love carrying your cheques round the whole weekend).
I look forward to seeing you on Friday 23rd April at 15:00 for what should be an awesome weekend.
Cheers,
Nige

Elections

Club elections are coming up in week 2 of next term. Details of the positions cane be found here http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/execpositions/ . If you want more info on a position feel free to talk to, e-mail, (sexually) harass the current person (or someone else on the exec or past execs as they may be able to help as well). If you are thinking about running for a position I cannot recommend it enough. It's a great way to contribute to how the club is run and give back to the club what you have got from it. You don't even need to be a good paddler (look at Fred!) If you are going to run for a position drop me an e-mail for polo and Snowman for Canoe just so we know if some positions have no-one running for them and need more publicising. I'm happy to answer any questions I can or can put you in touch with people if I can't. Wet (eastery) Love PGL

Hello everybody
Hello everybody
I have no friends or food in my house, so I propose hitting wetherspoons at around 8:00pm tonight for a bit of pre-tour banter and food. Obviously, some of you are at holiday polo, so cannot attend, but you can perhaps come along later if we are still around. Of course, you don't have to come ie if you live in coventry, but I will be there!

Hello!
As we're all feeling our moving water paddling is a bit rusty, we're organising a trip to the artificial white water centre at Northampton.
As it's artificial, it's about the safest, easiest and best way you can practice or have fun for the afternoon. If you care, their website is:
http://www.nenewhitewatercentre.co.uk/
The most important thing to know is that if you have a lecture on this last Wednesday morning of term, this is a valid reason to miss it! It'll be wicked =)
Date: 17th March 2010
Times: meeting on campus about 11:00, returning before 18:00
Who: anyone who has been to a pool session!
Why: practice moving water skills before Scotland, try some playboating..
Signup: Tomorrow (Wednesday 10th March), 9:30 in the morning
Also, first aid signup is up if you didn't notice.

Film night

There is a first time for everything!
So the Canoe club is having its first ever (I believe) film night!
When: Wednesday 10 March (week 9) at 19:00
Where: R3.41 (Ramphal Building)
There will be a selection af paddling videos on display, maybe a real film too. You can order pizza and bring drinks and stuff, but sort this amongst yourselves!
Also next week is the cocktail party, exact details to be confirmed, but this will cost £5 in advance (give to scamrass) to pay for booze to be made into cocktails by our own very lovely cocktail waitresses!
Right that's all from me for now, I'll fill up your inboxes with spam again at some other later date,
Peace out (did i really just say that? Oh dear)

This Sunday 14th of March is our Tournament.
This Sunday 14th of March is our Tournament.
We've got great teams coming and the standard of polo should be immense.
We want to be the Warwick Sport One To Watch this week (wicked publicity for the club)
BUT
We need you (actually two of you) to spare some time and  film the tournament using Warwick TV's cameras.
This is open to everyone in the club and I can't emphasise enough how good an experience seeing such a good group of players will be.
Post or talk to me in person.
Nige {insert Mexican National anthem here and something about Taco's. Hmmmm this will do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCgtqAsHwAE}
