Intervarsities February 6th – 8th
Wooooo we’re off to Galway in just over ONE week, February 6th – 8th, for an entire three days of Intervarsities!! It’s set to be a weekend of fierce and cut-throat competition between all the college kayaking clubs in Ireland. Claws at the ready! P.S. As always there will most definitely be plenty of partying and fancy dress/costumes  ;) ^-^ !!

First things first, we’ll meet in the UCD Clubhouse Bar at 6.15pm on Friday February 6th to get the partying underway. Then it’s off at 7pm for one hell of a bus journey!...think sing-alongs, craic and breaking in the Refreshers !! Feel free to stock up on the alcohol beforehand! There may not be much opportunity to restock on fuel for Saturday evening, so if at all possible bring beverages for both nights! 

What about the kayaking I hear you ask?!?
Friday morning/afternoon sees UCDCC’s whitewater paddlers and canoe polo team starting off the weekend. The whole club will then join up Friday evening with all the other College clubs for some social drinks  evil.gif
On Saturday morning is the long distance event, which is open to absolutely everyone - of all skills and fitness. No hangover is too great! Then we’ll all head over to watch the freestylers do their thing in the afternoon!
Sunday is another day of paddling for everyone!...it’s the BoaterX….an event that sees paddlers race each other down a section of water with little (or no) rules  ;)  :o

Throughout the weekend a Banter League competition will be run, which involves doing all sorts of team tasks and outrageous dares, all in the name of fun!  afro.gif let’s bring the win back home guys!!

In true kayaking style, it’s a Fancy Dress party (yes that’s costumes and face paint) for Saturday night. Note: Costumes are MANDATORY  evil.gif and competition is fierce!! In general the wackier and tackier the better !! This year’s theme is Fiesta Mexicana. Rumour has it a number of UCDCC paddlers are going as a Mexican Wave! ;-)

The cost of the trip is just €50, which covers your buses, two nights’ accommodation, breakfast both mornings, entry to all of your kayaking events plus all the gear you need!!
As ever pack plenty of warm/old clothes/shoes for kayaking (for TWO/THREE days).  Rule Numero One: NEVER wear clothes made of COTTON material. Anything made of fabrics starting with ‘poly-‘ are usually a great bet! Bring your own wetsuit if you have one. Tights are great, even on guys ;-) Any fleecy tops or bottoms are really nice too. Old shoes or small cheap pairs from Penneys (€3 or so) are really important.
Here’s your essential guide to staying warm on any and every river trip: http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10222.0.html

The money can be paid to ANY committee member at any pool session or send one of us lovely committee members a text. Paying is the ONLY way of securing your place and we do need to know numbers as soon as possible…..READY, STEADY, GO.!Find the committee members mobile numbers here: http://ucdcanoeclub.com/committee.html


Who's in? Sink or swim.
P.S. If you can at all give us an idea of what events you'll be doing and whether you need accomodation and bus transport.
