Canoe club Ball

joxer · January 19, 2007, 23:41:11

Just to let everybody know that the canoe club ball will be held in Lyhnams of Laragh on saturday 3rd March from 7pm. Myself and Niamh will post more information on price next week once we do some sums. It will be similar in nature to last year, with a couple of new competitions to help you earn free drink and get pissed.

So dust off the suits guys and ladies start shopping for new dresses as the only event in the clubs calendar that people are not in fancy dress is on the way.

Wheres Laragh?

Diarmaid · January 20, 2007, 19:51:29

Laragh = Glendalough, give or take. Leave the N11 at Kilmacanogue, go through Roundwood, through Annamoe, into Laragh. there'll be all sorts of drivers etc so if you'll be getting a lift the location isn't all that important. but just for your information... yeah. glendalough. ish.

Although a boaterX would be fun it took the lads invovled an awful lot of work to do and was seperate in organisation from the ball, so we have to wait and see. We had a static on Jacksons the year before. Before that the tradition was a pre ball meeting in someones house then collection to the ball.

the ball used to always be on a friday night which meant there was always a hungover trip the morning after. i've puked my way down the glenmacnass and annamoe and other rivers after the ball.

big up to the gang organising the ball. unfortunately i won't be there as i'm away that weekend....

Good on yiz, Team Nixor, or Joimh...Yea I think it's Team Nixor to the rescue! Looking forward to it...Fav night of the year I think, and if it's anything like last year it'll mean burnination all around!

PS, I don't mind looking after Billy's room key this year.

There'll be a club trip in wicklow the day of the ball. pre ball paddleing is a wonderful tradition.

joxer · January 23, 2007, 19:17:20

Just a reminder that the event will start at 7pm sharp. It will be a tight schedule so the club trip must be finished on time so that people can get changed

With a preference for a shower cold or hot! So that you don't have helmet hair!!

For anyone looking for posh accomadation.
For the rest of us I think the IMC still kicks serious arse as a place to party the night away.

The club will book the Hilton (IMC Hut) and will organise Limos (taxis) for Whoever wants to stay there. We'll also pick up (Bill you later for) the room service (sausages) tab.

Generous, (tossers), aren't we?
