We’re coming into the last few weeks of pool sessions, river trips and parties. SOB. Make sure you come along and have fun before the long summer stretch without all of us
Friday Trip This weekend’s trip is the
last river trip before assessments! Make sure that you check out the syllabus for the Level you plan to go for! Level 2:
http://canoe.ie/generic-skills-awards/ Level 3:
http://canoe.ie/river-kayak-skills-award/ . If there’s anything you’d like to practise make sure you ask someone in the pool this week or an instructor on the river trip!
Assessments will be held at the end of
Week 11 on
Saturday April 11th. Make sure you sign up early next week as demand is always high!
When: This
Friday April 3rd Where: The
Boyne is looking good !
The plan: Meet at the Boathouse at
10am What to bring:
•
€10! This covers the cost of the bus and instructors.
•
Warm clothes!!!! (avoid cotton at all costs! It makes you very, very cold when you’re wet). Anything made out of
'poly-' materials is a good bet! Fleeces are great! Fleecy pyjamas are even better! Tights make a good layer, especially to pop over your fleecy layers before trying to put on a wetsuit (even the lads should consider investing!!) If you have a wetsuit bring it! If not, the club has a small selection of them...try to get to the boathouse on time to get first pick!
You can never, ever have enough layers!!!
So here’s your essential guide to keeping nice and toasty on the river ;

A pair of old shoes with a small heel! (Or wet booties if you have them). For this trip socks won’t work...the water is going to be low, so if you come out of the boat, you'll be stepping on rocks (which is not fun in socks!) If you don't have a pair, pop into your local Penneys or Tesco and pick up a pair of cheap shoes!
•
Towel and warm, dry clothes for afterwards!
•
Some hot stuff! Flasks of tea, soup, hot blackcurrant...they'll all be much appreciated on the bus home!! And chocolate bars or cereal bars!! Nothing better than some sugar after a fun day on the water (avoid things that aren't in wrappers though, cause you won’t want to wait to wash your hands before eating them!)
