[Matt]

Me too

[Tiny Tim]

Im going, working though im not sure at what. Im heading down on friday does anyone want a lift?

[Kater]

I'm going, registered early cause I thought we had to before the 15th, then I found out I work on Sunday, so I'll only be there for the Saturday and will take the bus back to Dub on Saturday night I think - going sea kayaking on Saturday   what time are you driving down on Friday, Dave?

[Kater]

Also, it looks like I might have to fill out a form to borrow a club paddle and club cag and maybe spraydeck - can we use club gear for this and will someone be around the boathouse Friday afternoon? Thanks

[Diarmuid]

you can definitely use club gear Kate, just fill out the gear borrowing form and all will be cool

we'll be going to Polo friday anyway so the bh will be open for that

[Kater]

or boathouse tonight, before/after pool session? (I'm thinking about departing tomorrow morning maybe to check out Kilkenny town and act North American but not really b/c no working camera so not a super annoying tourist but kind of a tourist)
