Evening all! You know the drill, read on...
(apologies for the completely random photos that have nothing to do with the info next to them!)
CONGRATULATIONS
Firstly some congratulations are in order to the skydiving club who raised over £20,000 for charity last weekend, to the ladies hockey 1st team who won their BUSA final against Loughborough today, the Aikido club for organising a huge seminar, to all those who took part in Varsity (full results here), and to everyone else who has had something to do with sport this term- it's all run really smoothly and successfully! If you're going on tour over Easter enjoy it, you all really deserve it.
CLUB AWARDS- do them over Easter
Club Awards are due in at the end of week 4 term 3. These can take quite a bit of term so i recommend you do the application over Easter so it doesn't interrupt your exams. We changed the process a little bit for some of them and added a new award (the Warwick Volunteers Community Award) so please make sure you read on the information carefully before making a start. All the info is here: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/warwicksport/officer/colours/ Loads of you have done really well this year so i really recommend a lot of you go for things. If you want any advice jsut come and have a chat with me.
SPORTS COUNCIL TERM 3- early warning, put it in your diary
Sports Council will as always be on the first Monday of term 3. It'll be in the Chancellor's Suite in Rootes Social at 5pm. Your president or one other exec member must attend the main meeting, all newly elected treasurers must attend Managing Your Money at the same time in the same place (don't worry if you haven't had elections yet, there'll be another session at the beginning of term 1 next year). Registers will be taken so please send apologies in advance if you can't make it.

NAKED CALENDAR- let us know if you want to be in it
Right To Play is a humanitarian organization using sport and play programs to encourage the healthy physical, social and emotional development of the world’s most disadvantaged children.
In order continue to raise money through Warwick Sport for this fantastic Charity, Warwick Sport is going to be producing a "Naked Sports Calendar" for the next academic year. We will need the support of the Sports Teams to "get their kit off" (in a tasteful way with strategically placed equipment) and help us raise as much money as possible. Please email Gemma Morris (g.l.morris@warwick.ac.uk) as soon as possible if you want to take part because the photos will be taken in week 1 next term
