Hey Hey Guys,

As most of you already know it's our Fresher's Trip to Midleton in Cork next weekend (19th - 21st Oct.) Woop Woop !

We'll be meeting up at the boathouse at 1 on Friday to pack the trailer. If you get there on time you'll be much more likely to get the better gear ! If you 100% can't make it to pack the trailer, as a last resort Diarmuid (Equipment Officer) can be contacted and be asked nicely to put gear on for you. Though it will be best if you can do it yourself !

From there we'll go grab a bit of food, as the club won't be providing a meal on Friday because we'll get down so late !

We hope to be arriveing back on Sun. evening about 7-8.

The trip will cost 55 Euro !

Bring

For kayaking:
Towel
Togs
Old Shoes
Thermals (fleeces, tights work well for keeping your legs warm, thermal tops/trousers, NEVER anything woolen or cotton etc)
If you have a wetsuit or any kayaking gear, bring it! If not, no worries, the club has it all.

Other:
DRINK - The club will provide some drink for Saturday night, but you can bring your own for Friday and extra for Saturday if you so wish! (There will be shops nearby)
FOOD - Food will be provided, but not on the Friday as we will be getting there late so eat beforehand, but bring spare food incase you are likely to get hungry
FANCY DRESS COSTUME - Possibly the most important part of the weekend, more so than the kayaking, drinking and eating combined... The FANCY DRESS PARTY on Saturday night! You can dress up as anything you heart wishes, and it's some amount of craic!
Money - We will be heading out to the pub on the Saturday to scare the locals so bring a bit of money, or in case you want to get anything from the shop

Sleeping bag - optional. Should be beds and duvets, just if your worried they'll run out, or want to be extra warm...

Weather Forecast for the Weekend
> Wet Thursday, showers clearing Friday and set to remain dry for the whole weekend.
> Waves to be a healthy meter for Inch strand, pretty much perfect for what we want!
> TIDES: Low Water COBH 14:56, so will be dropping for most of the time we're there. Magic beach will appear!
> Banter forecast: Thursday drudgery will clear to the east to be replaced with glowy-anticipation costume preparation in Dublin Friday afternoon, later clearing to bus concentrated thunderclouds of banter Friday evening. Thereafter the fog will descend, any subsequent forecast is hard to predict....
