Canoe Hoodies
Hey everybody!
The day you have waited for is finally here, and you can order yourself a canoe hoody to parade around in.
The cost will be a miniscule £23 (a whole £2 cheaper than the polo hoodies, not that it's a competition or anything). They will come in the following 4 colours, of which you may pick just one.
- Navy
- Cornflower
- Candy
- Lime
You can see the colour chart at http://www.admdirect.co.uk/product.aspx?id=3805
So, you say, how do I get myself one of these hoodies? Simples!
1) Signup at http://warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/143/
2) Email me (secretary@warwickcanoe.co.uk) with your size, colour, and desired name.
3) Pay myself or smacrass via cheque or cash.
You have until monday evening next week to signup, email me and pay me. Cheques should be payable to UWSU, and cash is also good. Give it to me or Smacrass, and if you can't find me/him, email me and we'll sort something out.
Your always-humble secretary

I wish they called it Foundation Aptitude and Rescue Training.
This may be pretty premature, but women the world over won't be surprised with that coming from me, so here goes.
POSSIBLE TRAINING THINGS HAPPENING AT SOME POINT MAYBE
Trying to organise a couple training days with the leam boat centre before easter tour. Don't have dates yet, but should be during the weekend, and I know none of you lazy layabouts are doing any work.
Hopefully we will be able to organise an afternoon of ropes/pinning training, as well as a full day's FSRT training. For those of you who don't know what that means, it stands for Foundation Safety and Rescue Training. For those of you who don't know what that means, welcome to the club.
Shouldn't require too much expereince, and would be very helpful, especially for those going on tour. Prices are dependent on number, but we will be getting a discount from the boat centre as well as being able to claim some back from various training subsidies, so looks like it could work out very cheap.
So, boys and girls, maybe PGL's impressive rope skills have awakened a long dormant knot and bondage fetish in you? Perhaps you need to learn a few rescue tricks so that when that ruggedly handsome coach you've had your eye on gets in to a bit of trouble you can be the hero and steal him away? It's even possible you might just want to make use of a really good opportunity to develop your canoe skills for a fantastic price, though personally I reckon this is far less likely than that madly in love with the coach option.
Whatever the reason, an idea of numbers would be very helpful, so anyone interested should definitely make some noise.
And just to cover my ass, no promises! Whilst we're doing our best, there's no a huge amount of time left, and this whole idea could very well just end abruptly and anticlimatically, with no warning or explanation, and leaving everyone involved very dissappointed. I think I hear the sounds of unsurprised women again....
Tuesday Polo Training!!
Evening all!
This Tuesday, we're going to continue the training theme, and try a set piece attack that I've called 'Clear-out', seems a good a name as any, and since I'm making them up, live to love it or... else? Explanation found on the training pages at the link below:

Please read this before the session so you have a head start when I try and explain through my crippled jaw.
As always, please turn up a bit early to help set up. I would like to start as close to 19:15 as possible so we can fit in as many games as possible, on top of the training.

Ice Skating on Wednesday!
This really is happening! Sorry for the late notice!
Jackets
Jackets are here!
Steve will be giving them out at the pool session at 3. If you get there early please DO NOT just take your own as it makes keeping track of who has collected them a nightmare.
G
As some of you know, G was injured yesterday at Score. He suffered a broken jaw and a missing tooth, and is now in Coventry Hospital.
His surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning and he is currently on painkillers. I've got a card which I will be taking to canoe this afternoon for people to sign, and will be going to visit him with Snow tonight. I'll be around on campus until just after 6:00pm so if people want to sign the card or anything just give me a call.
Huge amount of thanks to Jen for going with him last night (and de-smurfing so very fast).
Cardiff Uni Canoe Polo Tournament

The National Student Rodeo 2010 is here!
The largest playboating event in the┬ácountry (apparently) returns to destroy our livers and dignity. You might get in a boat, but the onus is definitely on ludicrous costumes and inebriated frivolity. If you're not sure what itÔÇÖs about check out this video, featuring a cameo by┬áour own Herr Dunphy, heÔÇÖs the one looking dazed and confused.
It will be held at Holme Pierrepont in Nottingham, on the 5th - 7th March, and the party theme will be ancient worlds, so think togas and gladiators. Or maybe just turn up naked and call yourself the Statue of David.
Cost will be around ┬ú40 for the weekend, with an extra ┬ú10 for a t-shirt and ┬ú5 for a ÔÇ£gourmetÔÇØ burger and pint on the Friday night. Because IÔÇÖm a simpleton and I wonÔÇÖt be able to remember who wants what, there will be three sign ups, one for each, so remember to do all of them.
Sign up goes live at 5pm (assuming I remember), so get to it!

Polo training on Tuesday
Afternoon all.
It has been decided that this Tuesday we should focus on keeping a strong defence, which is what we will do.
People have different ideas about what defence they like, they are all similar in ways, so we'll try focusing on just one to simplify things, the two and two defence.
Please read http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/polotraining/tactics#twoandtwo
then I won't have to explain it to for the first time on the night, and you can spend less time thinking "This is rubbish, he's such a dick-head, this doesn't work, I don't understand the point".
The format is likely to be: two teams get on the pitch, practice attacking and defending against eachother in some sort of slow motion. If this doesn't take too long, then a game will follow. Swap with another two teams, do the same, and so on. Then games when this is finished.
As always, please turn up early to help set up, or at the very least on time! Please help clear away at the end too. It's only fair.
