Hey folks, The new season is almost here! (although apparently the last season didn't have the decency to stop while I was away). And that means a truckload of new freshers which means we need a truckload of boats and gear! So, if you have any club gear we need it back as soon as possible so we can count it and work out how many freshers we can bring paddling. If you have any club gear on you please post up here so we can at least know what's where and then I'll give you a shout to arrange a a time for you to drop it out to the club house.

In other news we now have solid dates for all of next years main events!

Freshers weekend is on 12th,13th and 14th of October!
Venue is the otterholt in carlow.

Colours is on the 16th,17th 18th November
Venue: Lahinch!

Venue: Killarney

The intervarsities will be 22nd,23rd,24th february (subject to change)
Venue : Limerick, the club have yet to book accommodation for this.

Intervarsities in November? Carlow let's not do that stretch I suggested last year. Kerry in Killarney? Hopefully limerick will just do what they did last time we stayed at a hotel.
Thanks by the way.

Jesus I made such a balls of that...

What happened to freshers weekend in kilkenny in the scout hall?! We have to weed out the shit freshers early so a messy vomit filled beer hall would be the way to do that, no? Apart from that carlow sounds cool but there is no way i'm paddling that 3 hour flat stretch again!

Scout hall under renovations

kmck · August 30, 2007, 18:18:11

The part about that stretch is that it is shorter than graighnamana to st mullens, which is about a mile between weirs and it is about 45min to an hour from carlow. It only took two and a half hours but shit weirs. I apologised enough for it.

seriously mark the committe didnt even discuss these things you propose. pia and i decided at superhole, we want the scout hall. organise it!

IM NOT HAPPY!

JODY · August 30, 2007, 19:11:13

The otterholt was a crap venue! Is there the option of a scout hall anywhere else?

kmck · August 30, 2007, 19:24:57

Little hint do not air committee laundry in public. It works better cause everyone thinks your brillant instead nearly killing each other.

Mark · August 30, 2007, 19:33:37

Kmck, I think mention of "superhole" may indicate that she was joking.

I looked for alternative venues, and there aren't very many. The amount of places that get suddenly angry when they hear mention of kayakers from dublin is alarming.
