Weekly Update 15 - 02/01/2022

It’s the part of 2022 that you were all missing, but never fear, weekly updates are back for the 2nd term as we all go again in this fine year. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and didn’t get too silly over the New Year…

As ever we start with 2nd term dates for your diary:

  • 15th Jan - Charity Tournament

  • 19th Jan – Barts to The London

  • 16th Feb - Swimathon

  • 19th Feb - Alumni Day

  • 24th Feb - The Derby

  • 26th March - UH

  • 30th March - Swimming Merger

  • 31st March - WP Merger

  • 30th April - Birthday Dinner

STASH: Please get your stash orders sorted ASAP. Deadline is 23:59 on Sunday 16th January. Payment will be due later so if you are a wee bit broke now, never fear, do not let your bank balance prevent you from splashing out on the beautiful garments on offer. (Stash happens once a year, and next one may not be until March 2023, ENSURE YOU HAVE ALL YOU NEED FOR THE NEXT YEAR). POLOS (which are your social tops) ARE ESSENTIAL FOR AVOIDING FINES AT THE TABLE.

Charity Tournament: This is NEXT SATURDAY. 15th January. 4-7pm. At Poplar. Will be followed by an outing to Club de From (of course). Please please please assemble yourselves into teams and let me know! Reckon we have room for 3x WP-based teams, so far I know SGP and Tadpole Mack are captaining two of them. Please ask them if you don’t have a team/start your own as I need at least one more brave person to captain. I will help allocate you all to teams when I have a final captain. This is an event not to miss, we have confirmed attendance from Hockey, Running and Volleyball, with Tennis and Boat also looking to form teams so would be great to have a massive turnout and show them what a fun sport WP is. It’s v relaxed, v informal and all round just a great laugh.

 

A relatively short one from me this week as we ease ourselves back in.

On Wednesday we have a Return of Tables, Miracle-Flo and Piscivore are salivating at the prospect of making your 2022 more lubricated than ever before so please do indulge their desires.

Thursday sees us grace the Poplar Paddling pool for the first session of the term, 8:30-10pm. You know the drill.

Sunday. Poplar. 3:30-5pm. It’s just muscle memory at this point.

 

Have a beautiful week,
