kerrrrrrrrrry again

[Diarmaid]

*gasp* This is the only way committee members can avoid having to stay in the club house! They're deliberately not joining the club so that they'll be "forced" to stay in warm comfy private houses with loads of booze and committee significant others!

devious...

[Towelyey]

if only i was on the committee all kinda of deviousness would be going on!!!

last years kerry was sweet - imagine i was on the committee and staying in a private house - (big sigh) if only

[kmck]

Rurgay, Joey and Dave byrne are no longer in college, niether is Kylie and lisa doesn't paddle anymore so why should they pay membership. Having joey, dave and rugay on rivers is worth a hell of alot more to the club than 15 euro a head.
Dave cox is an ex captain and as such,honoary membership. Unless someone is using club facilities, club house or boats then why should they pay membership. It just means that associated with us and can't vote in elections. The only people on the list who should pay are the three committee members.

Jesus Kmck- i was only messing. That's the reason why these people haven't paid. cos i know they don't have to. My god- next time i'll just keep quiet. Diarmaid, don't worry-you don't have to pay but i am bitter cos i can't be unhelpful to my successor cos i'll be on erasmus!

Towel- you could try stealing my bank card to make me pay!

eh excuseeee me I did pay, and I dont paddle so I'd like a reembursment. Im hurt by these aligations!

[Pia!]

I thought you had but you weren't marked down in my book-MY BOOK ASHO!!! The book never lies! I'm sorry and the book apologises too for wrongly accusing you...

Ok to clear things up: The 15 euro does not just go towards paddling, it goes towards keeping the club runing-this involves all the social events, the odd bit if free booze, the weekends away! You don't have to paddle to enjoy all of those things!! You are paying a measly 15 euro for the friends, adventures and ambience that ucd canoe club provides. Sheesh-open the purse strings!

Hang on Kieran, weren't you the person who suggested that all non-college types pay an alumni membership of €20 each year for the benefit of the club?

[kmck]

Sounds like some kind of crazy idea I would have but I can't claim it as my own. It was one of many ideas tossed around over the years as a means of making money.

[david]

Good point Pia, €15 is probably the most you will ever contribute to any thing in you miserable life.

[Diarmaid]

eh excuseeee me I did pay, and I dont paddle so I'd like a reembursment. Im hurt by these aligations!

And I'm hurt by these alligators





... sorry. it's not even 9 yet. I'm tired.

[Pia!]

Hang on- Kieran you DID say that! I remember you saying it at some stage at the board! I think the exact words were: "15 euro is nothing to people who are working full time" and then something along the lines of: "I happily pay the 15 euro membership to keep the club running and i think people working full time should contribute more"

Just shows-no matter what the committee do people will moan! The amount of work we actually do and its not all for paddling. We've already organised loads of fundraisers and social events- who do you think bought all those presents and wrapped them for Santa's grotto (during exam season?)? They didn't actually come from the North pole! So its not just Fresher's and paddlers who have to pay-if you want to be involved in the social aspect of the canoe club you should do the decent thing and pay a measly 15 euro that will help keep the club running!

Dave cox- don't worry, you don't have to pay. I mean, you've broken so many boats in your miserable life that i doubt you have any money left at all. Actually, maybe you could pay as you haven't broken a boat in a while. Oh no, you didn't just break one there on the Anamoe, did you?

[Diarmaid]

Dave Cox has 10 years' honorary membership.


Anyways. Don't pooh-pooh €15. €15 will buy you a slice of cheesecake and a newsreel, with enough left over to ride the trolley from Battery Park to the Polo Grounds.

I'm not giving out to Pia cos I know she has a hard job collecting money off all you students but I really dont think its fair to ask me, Rurgay and Dave for membership. The three of us are on many trips during the year and provide rescue without being the instructors, despite me and dave being qualified instructors. There has also been times when me and dave have lead trips in the past when Former Committee members where too drunk or hungover. I have been in Kerry twice and both times i have brought trips out paddling when committee members wouldnt, and dave done it last year and even with the carnage that resulted and the hassle that it made for him he still helps out this year.

Like i said Pia, I know you have a hard job to do but i do think that we def cover our fifteen euro membership in the work we do for the club.   (this feels like it could be the start of another debate along the lines of Jevons 'radical Islam......)

[Pia!]

Joey seriously-the reason i have not asked you or Rurgay or dave for membership is cos i know that you do lots of works for the club. I wrote down everyones name at the start of the year and marked off everyone one who paid and i only put your names on the board to stir shit cos you weren't marked down as paid. I didn't think it would work this well!!

Believe me-if i wanted your 15 euro i would have asked you for it before now-Anyway, none of you are staying in the club house so it makes no difference
