Following the success of the last

Canoe Polo Cancer Challenge (2004) York University are organising a bigger, better, longer event in June this year to raise money for Cancer Research.

What : 26 hour long, continuous Canoe Polo match

Where : Hatfield Water Park, Doncaster [where the BUSAs were]

When : June 9,10,11 [friday to sunday, end of week 8]

Details in more detail : link

Minimum individual sponsorship : £10 ie not much at all (inclusive of entry/camping fee);

overall target is to beat the £17,000 raised last time. Sponsor forms here 

Entrants do not have to play in pre-formed teams: the single match works by

continuously rotating substitutes throughout the 26 hours.

So far two people have asked about borrowing club kit for the weekend. This is fine provided it returns! If enough people are interested we can look into minibuses etc, otherwise its cars.

Please post if you are going/want to go but need transport, so we can think about numbers of people/spaces in cars/tents etc etc.

Questions to j.bonell@warwick.ac.uk / 07950733855 or post on the forum,

maybe some old gits will remember from 2004...!

If i remember correctly, Becca, Pete, Jenna, Jill and Pete and myself (possibly others, but i don't know who!)were there in 2004. It was good fun, but there was a 'small' amount of drinking involved.

The biggest group of people to raise the most cash between them won a whole polo teams worth of BA's last time (ULU!)

I'm also supplying one of the prizes for this years event.

Hope to see some of you lot there.

(its important to highlight

IMPORTANT

bits of information to make them

STAND OUT,

especially if it gets people noticing doing something worthwhile ie for

CHARITY)

But yes, point taken: it is!

(Funny how that 'P' word only ever comes out of hibernation for may and june...)
