OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING ITS FINALLY HAPPENING!
Assignment due? unlucky. Deathly ill? too bad. Mother's Birthday that weekend? Tell her to meet you there. You are going and you will enjoy yourself ok?!
This year we're heading away to the besht of the Wesht, Lahinch.
It all kicks off on
Friday the 11th of October at 5:30pm in the Clubhouse Bar for some pre-Bus-pints. You'll find us to the upstairs in the clubhouse.
We'll be waving goodbye to UCD at 6:30pm and hello to the session for the rest of the weekend.
This price is great value for money and includes:
-Accommodation. This will be tight so be prepared to share beds, ayy lmao.
- The banter bus (drink allowed) to and from Lahinch on Friday followed by a good ol' fashioned UCDCC fresher's-warming party
- A morning of of surf kayaking on Saturday
- Fancy Dress ready session on Saturday night! (Anyone not dressed up will be forced to sit through a completely improvised but incredibly thorough 3 hour presentation on what is and is not coeliac by Blathnaid Kelly.
- If you're still alive on Sunday morning we will be doing some more surfing/swimming before we head off.
- Breakfast will be provided on both mornings and dinner will be cooked by our in house chefs on Saturday night.
In between all the gettin wheh there'll be banter, a light sprinkling of lovely cans, and further banter. So, get your names down below, and your
€60 to a committee member ASAP to secure your place. Committee will be accepting money at lunch times, any pool session, paddle fit or River Trip. If you would prefer to transfer the money the IBAN is: IE10BOFI90410639168177. If you are transferring the money
make sure you sign your name on the transaction or I will come for you.
Again this includes your transport, accomodation (REAL BEDS), breakfast x2 and a dinner on Saturday
Now, in case your mammy is no longer packing your suitcase, please bring:
• Money for any snacks, chocolate, alcohol etc
• For kayaking: 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!!! Remember to bring enough gear for TWO days' paddling.
So here’s your essential guide to keeping nice and toasty on the river ;
http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10222.0.html • A pair of old shoes! (Or wet booties if you have them). The water is going to be low (on the beach), and those stones really aren't the most fun!! If you don't have a pair, pop into your local Penneys or Tesco and pick up a pair of cheap shoes!
• Towel(s) and warm, dry clothes for both days!
NB if you have not been at a pool session you must attend one before going to Lahinch to do a capsize drill and swim test, but a river trip is not a pre requisite to coming.
If you have any questions at all feel free to message the page on fb or email ucdcanoeclub@gmail.com
