Club championships - Longford 28-29th July UCD Stars

[Maryanne]

MARYANNE! can I have a lift please...

Bring cake, smear cake on driver.

Edit: not you though Maryanne

Sure Jer, feel free to bring cake too, I'll just eat it.

So I've got Jer, Niall B (assuming) and myself, leaving 2 spots for people.
Departure time to be confirmed.

[Matt]

Could I please grab one of those spots Maryanne?

[Maryanne]

Could I please grab one of those spots Maryanne?

Yep sure thing.

That leaves one spot.

The drive will take about 2 hours, the timetable for the competition isn't up yet, but I'd say we're looking at needing to leave at 08:00.

I'll be leaving from Deansgrange, getting straight on to the M50 at Leopardstown.

Warning: if I find someplace to throw up a tent for Friday night, I'd prefer to drive down then.

[HelenaC]

Diarmuid is in the wilderness of Kerry and has space in his car, hes also taking boats, and shall be leaving friday evening...

ill be leaving from meath so if people are really stuck i could pick ye up in maynooth or kilcock....
who has tents and whatnot??

(for  the record there is rain forecast so Diarmuid does NOT have a tent... )

[Douchier]

Oh Jeez, Friday all the way!

There's loads of place to camp beside the pitches and there's showers and toilets too. Did I not mention those? I though I mentioned those...

There's a pub right there too.

Longford, which has supermarkets and what-not is not too far away at all.

I'll drive Maryanne's car, so that Jer can smear cake on me...go team!


More info here!

[CormacR]

Ah, Niall's driving.

Diarmuid, can I have a lift please?

[Niall Finch]

It's looking as if I can't make it guys  - mon apolgies, though if yous were staying down on Sunday night I'd see about getting it off and coming down on Sunday morning.

[Kater]

anybody leaving Saturday morning?  Marie, are you driving up from Cork?

And since I'll likely be a spare for the Ladies' team since I haven't played before, does that mean I don't have to worry about getting a boat there?

[EllenMcG]

Maryanne any chance of that final spot if you're heading down Friday?? Otherwise I'll get a bus out to maynooth  I was texting Marie today and she is in fact coming from Cork on Friday evening! So no Dublin lifts from her!

[Douchier]

Why Kate! You're not a spare, you're a valued member!

You should really come down on Friday, there'll be loads of fun to be had.
If you have to come down on Friday then you could just get a train or bus to Longford and get someone to pick you up there? It's only about ten minutes away. You don't need to worry about bringing a polo boat...we don't have any and we'll be bringing all the polo gear that we have. Just bring stuff like shorts, swim-suit and plenty of thermals/rash-vests.

Otherwise if Lorcan is coming down then he'll probably be coming down on Saturday midday. Timetables would be useful here...

and a sleeping bag!

Ellen, I'm sure that Maryanne would love to have you! The Doyle-wagon might have to make a bit of a detour to pick up some boats in Cavan, adding about an hour.
Diarmuid should have loads of room too! and I believe he's driving down on Friday and leaving from the boathouse.

Maryanne's car:
Matt
NiallB
Jer
Ellen?

Diarmuid's car:
Cormac
Roisin?

Helena - driving herself
Marie - Driving herself
Lorcan - presumably driving himself?

[Kater]

okay perfect I'll just take the train in to Longford on Saturday morning cause I have a thesis meeting late on Friday, I'll contact/bribe a driver to pick me up and I guess the time will depend on the schedule of games slash driver preference.  Should I pm my ICU number to you Niall?

[Douchier]

You have an icu number? yes absolutely!

We probably won't be leaving until latish on friday, Maryanne's car won't anyway ( she has to finish work and all that) what time does your meeting finish?

[HelenaC]

continuing on with my summer of never knowing from one day to the next where im working, i am currently in kildare and unsure how long that will last.... whoevers short on lifts itll prob be last minute when i find out where im driving from so stay in touch ellen, and whoever else is stuck!

[Maryanne]

You have an icu number? yes absolutely!

We probably won't be leaving until latish on friday, Maryanne's car won't anyway ( she has to finish work and all that) what time does your meeting finish?

Yup, I can't go til I finish work (probably 19:00) but more importantly the car can't go til mum's done with it.
Saturday 08:00 is definitely free, I'll get back to you if Friday evening is free.

[HelenaC]

I was right, my boss IS a pain in the ass!!

 turns out im in UCD now on Friday, so ill be leaving from there, possibly around 4? maybe 5?

so if anyone would like to leave around then there is space (not trying to steal people off anyone else, but if this is someones preffered time then im ok with it....)
