A short but informative email/news post... 1) Week 8 - REAL ALE! An event not to be missed! For 3 nights a year only...look out for an email from Mofo shortly telling you all you need to know about anything. 2) Week 9 (Wednesday) - Warwick Canoe's first ever FILM NIGHT! Brought to you by your loving social secretaries. You will be treated to an evening of entertainment involving...a kayak movie!....a non-kayak-related movie!....domino's (at your expense, not ours, we're not that loving). This spectacle will most likely take place in the maths department, but destination to be confirmed. Time will be pm, again, probable from 7pm onwards (so leam training is defo on the cards if you're up for that). Requires sign up. 3) Week 10 (Thursday) - End of term / pre-tour COCKTAIL night! See the term out with a bang, let's get pissed and have a wicked time. Definitely requires sign up. Time: to be posted nearer the time. Place: dependent upon numbers, but at my house in Leamington Spa. I live in central Leamington, behind the church. I will send out the precise address in an email in week 9 containing all the other important details to those who have signed up. Cost: £5 - to cover spirits and mixers. This must be paid in advance, preferably at the film night in week 9. [ Disclaimer: As usual, drinking at socials is not compulsory, soft drinks are welcomed with open arms (though good luck with real ALE and the COCKTAIL night). ] Jen & Mofo xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tuesday training

Right my pedigree chums,
This Tuesday will be similar to last Tuesday, where we have a go at a set piece attack, before more games. This time it will be slightly different, and take place from a corner.
Please read this before the session:
http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/polotraining/tactics#setpiece2
If not you will fall foul of my inept explanations of what makes sense inside my head!
Once again, beginning to sound boring, please turn up on time, but preferably a bit early to help set up goals and get gear out.
Want it, be the one,
G
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
Steve
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:
http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/polotraining/tactics#setpiece1
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.

Place: Planet Ice @ Coventry Skydome
Date: Wednesday, Week 5
Cost: £5.40  - arena admission, £2 - skate hire, & bus fare if you don't own a bus pass.

It is likely there will be a group travelling via bus from the campus bus stop. If anyone knows which bus to get and when please post it on the forum as I have no idea about Coventry buses.
Also, if you will be driving and have free spaces, it might be good to advertise them on the forum also.
Lot's of cold and icey, yet still wet love.

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.

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).
