I was just thinking, didn't Zog join BEFORE refreshers last year???? :o Sorry man, you're definitely not a fresher!!!
Zog:
Firstly, thanks Marie ;) but I began paddling last year in the second semester, and as such am regarded as a refresher, it has been stated that refreshers can fill the fresher slot. I don't see what the point is about my gear, I bought my own stuff so what? or my paddling ability, I'd like to remind everyone that Joey and Briain both competed in the fresher category last year and indeed Joey was part of the winning team. Both of these guys are most certainly better paddlerswas joey an instructor or trainee instructor at the time? than me and there was definitely a wider gap in skill level and ability between them and the likes of my brother or Deividas.
Steven Mul:
But they were technically freshers. You did join before the official refreshers day which puts you into a limbo position between fresher and refresher. Personally I think having your own gear and having your level 3 doesn't make a difference in this scenario but I do think that because you competed last year (where a lot of other refreshers didn't) and because since then you have run Jacksons on private trips you should be counted as a college type.
MarieH:
A fresher is by definition someone who is in their first year with the club, regardless of paddling ability or stage of college they are at.
As stated by you last night, you first paddled with us in January 2013. It is now March 2014 so your golden days of being classed a fresher have well expired. It's time to move on to greener pastures.
Steven Mul:
...anyway you'll probably just end up swimming on the run in and ruining your teams chances so it probably wouldn't make a huge difference.
