Nene Trip
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)

Film Our Tournament
This Sunday 14th of March is our Tournament.
First Aid Course
Good morning!
Warwick Sport have [finally] organised us a First Aid course. I'm still wringing the details about it but will add them to the news post as soon as I know. (see this website for the canoe news threads: http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/news/ )
Not going on this course because you're afraid of responsibility is a shit excuse. Don't think because you have been on a first aid course you are responsible if someone hurts themselves, it just means you've got more idea about how to help them if you want to. A little knowledge can go a long long way.
Currently confirmed:
Date: Saturday 13th March
Sign-up: Tuesday 9th March, 10:30
Ambiguous details, to be confirmed:
Location: Campus
Length: 6/8 hours
Price: cheap - either partially or fully subsidised by WS I hope
So, please sign up tomorrow (pronto) if you want to get on it: space will be limited.
This course will be useful for almost all people! Whether it's your first First Aid and want to get some background knowledge, or whether you're a coach and need the certificate.
See you at the pool session tonight!

Team RAGE! Tuesday 9th March
Hello all you polo legends,
Next Tuesday we'll be doing a team RAGE tournament as a bit of a warm up for the Warwick tournament.
Teams will be A, B, C, Ladies, Old.
Handicaps will be arranged to even up the games.
A sign up will go up on the website shortly, please sign up before Monday if you want to take part.
I know that whenever I propose a team RAGE with handicaps some people look as if I've just proposed urinating on their leg. Those with the Dunkirk spirit think "Ha, I will use my handicap to try and put the willies up the opposition and most of all I will learn from the experience, after all I won't be playing against teams like this in the real competition!". Having spent 6 years of university previous to a couple of BUSA bronzes losing everything, I can tell you that losing is character building. If you don't like losing, either do something about it, or get over it!
Get signing up!
