Holey moley, that sounds fantastic

The workshops sound amazing, there are some about being on a committee and there's a rescue session aimed at college students...very nice

This looks class! Who's going?

Has there been one before? like what's the layout? (other than doing 4 workshops obvs

)

It's the first one that's been aimed at people from all ages, they said if it's a success they'll try to do one annually.
I think it's two workshops on Saturday, two on Sunday, dinner Saturday evening, a talk Saturday evening, a party Saturday night and there's camping nearby.

It's €40 for a student, and for that you get all four workshops, a meal, a t-shirt and free in to the party.
Apparently there's camping nearby that's not too expensive.
You can see a list of all the instructors and coaches who are going to be there on the website, there are more to come, but the line up looks class!

looks like a pretty class idea...

Looking at the Canoeing Ireland site it looks like it will be €50 for a student (€40 for a junior). It looks like a great weekend still.

Sugar! My bad!

You could think of it as €10 per workshop, €4 for dinner, €4 for t-shirt and €2 for party

Considering how great the instructors are, how much kayaking you'll get and the banter that'll be had, it's still an amazing steal!
