Pool sessions over the summer

Also does this money come through the club or straight to the pool.. Is there any left if it comes to having to pay?

We're not charged for our two sessions a week, but if we increased that we would need to pay for the extra.
I found this out when we were starting in the pool and I was trying to establish occasional Sunday pool sessions using the whole pool for things like full pitch canoe polo tournaments.
Turns out that that was prohibitively expensive since paying to keep the pool open late for an hour or two cost well over a thousand euro.

Nope that wouldn't have been an issue at all!

The gear borrowing policy is pinned at the top of the resources section of the board, good reading to do before the summer :)

Kilcock Canoe Polo Club only have the adult membership rate (€100 I think it was). If you paddle with them more than once, you have to pay it, no messing. Probably the best spot to go to to learn Canoe Polo, they're ridiculously good. I paddled there for the whole summer at the end of first year.

Seriously all males should consider this place, just look at the difference in Diarmuid between first year and second year.....

The Dodder's a grand spot.
Downstream of the bridge there's a nice stretch that's wide and plenty deep.
If there was a will to have some kind of polo or freestyle training over the Summer, it'd be ideal.
It's something that we tried to get going when polo was just starting in the club, but we never really had enough numbers to make it happen. There's A LOT more people playing polo now though, so maybe?
FYI, many years ago(2008/9?), we (mostly Benny and Tom I think) set up a polo-pitch and slalom course down there. Unfortunately local anglers took exception to this and it all got destroyed. It could be worth trying again if there's the will, you'd definitely manage polo goals as you could just put them up and take em down (the stuff is still in the boathouse).
