Ladies and Gentlemen paddlers,

I don't mean to alarm you, but there are only four club trips left this UCDCC kayaking year  :'( before we all hang up our helmets and devote ourselves to study and exams and then scatter to the four winds for the summer.

Let's make these last four trips the best and most rewarding ever!
And by that I mean, let's have all the craic we can AND come away with something concrete to show for it!

Let's do some assessments!

Here's a link to a sign up sheet, give that an aul click and sell me your soul.

And here are some of the excited comments I made on facebook:
(I've used smiley faces as bullet points in an attempt to convey my excitement!)

 :) Did I mention I think everyone should do an assessment?
 :D They're excellent opportunities to have an amazing day's kayaking, learning and a reward at the end!

 ;) Having a L2 or L3 especially is looked on very favourably if you ever wanted to borrow club gear...just sayin'

 ;D Getting a L2 or L3 in your first year in the club is rare, because normally we don't have enough people at the right stage to run them, this year we have oodles of freshers and second years who are deadly!

 ^-^ Going on Erasmus or an exchange next year? Do an assessment now so when you come back the committee of 13/14 will know what level you were at!


Preliminary training and assessment calendar

24/03 - L2 pre-assessment training
            - L3 pre-assessment training

31/03 - L3 assessment
            - L2 assessment
            - UCPL matches

01/04 - UCPL matches

07/04 - L3 assessment
            - L2 assessment

14/04 - fun and banterful last trip of the year

I mean seriously lads, who could turn down an offer like that?

But genuinely, it's astounding just how much you can get out of an assessment day, I really encourage all of you to give it a shot and give it your all!

I did this ages ago and I haven't regretted it once...and I didn't even get an assessment out of it!

If there is any chance of a level three assessment on the 14th I would be delighted to log hours on it - not around till then.
