Paddling on the 21st/22nd/23rd

[Sick Boy]

jucy just because you got dragged down jacksons in your first few weeks as a fresher dosent make it the norm on top of that i had no knowledge fo you taking the boats. if i had have i dont think i would have let you take the gear out.

  Practice run for Kerry



Oh & my car is full for Friday now!!

[Jevon]

fo' real Committee... What's the Dilly?? Let us Live...  you don't hear about the leaders of the Badminton club check ing credentials before someone uses their Birdies... You don't have to pass any test to use the Athletics track... 

Do you guys really want to be known as the oppressors in the most uptight club on campus?!?  Now, I'm not saying its gone that far, but am starting to hear whispers... the finger pointing has begun.  Even Trinity is laughing... It started with the cessation of drinking in the boathouse, then Tuesday drinking.  When was the last full scale Saturday house party??  Can we really let this pattern of conservatism spread to the rivers?!?! 

Seriously though, when were Freshers ever offered a chance to get their level 3?? I've asked if I could do it on the past 3 river trips...
If it really is a serious problem, call it a club trip where we provide our own transport... (like Kerry) There is obviously the demand.  What better way to wind down after finals and prepare for Kerry (or Uganda)?

On that note...  What are the plans for post exam fiestas???

[Lucy]

I know I'm not the only to have been dragged down Jacksons, caz was on the same trip. Nuala was brought down in the duo, pretty sure pia wasnt long after us an d Dee said it was her second river trip. 
Plus, I do believe it was the Captain (dave) and training officer (Mark) that dragged me.

[Fuzzy]

Do we need to have this debate every year? Is it mpart of the Kerry preparations or something.

[caz]

i understand that the rule makes sense but everyone knows it has clearly been broken plenty of times last year, its not fair to make exceptions for a few people then not let others _{(male freshers)} use club gear. at least not so blatently anyway.

[Lucy]

Someone be my kayak jedi master....... ...meloveyoulongtime...

every fresher does indeed need a Kayak Jedi Master.

[Simon R.]

good thing i found my shit stirring spoon i'll need it for kerry....

[Towelyey]

back to jevons point when does ev eryone finish their exams cos im done on monday and would very much like to get hammered on campus like the old days!! who's with me???

ps i will also be available for other finishing of exam parties for anyone that wants me!!

[SafeDee]

jevon as i said, paddling is a dangerous sport and having your level 3 before we give you our gear isnt too much to ask.

also,talking about bringing freshers down jacksons isnt something that is going to help your arguement seeing as I broke my helmet on it last week!

this isnt up for debate.

[Towelyey]

your all losing sight of the important things:

lets go boozing lets go boozing on...........MONDAY!!!!!!

jazz hands!!!!

[Diarmaid]

the point is moot for the likes of Johnny and Jevon anyways, since it's only ever cute fresher girls that get dragged off on these early-year private wicklow trips.

[Lucy]

Right, this is a case of shit circumstances where both sides have a good argument. Committee are right in saying that it's a safety reason and also I'm sure it must have something to do with preserving the equippment of the club aswell as the freshers' lives. Whilst on the other hand, its shit cause you're not gonna get anywhere fast in the sport without more opportunities.
As for taking freshers down Jacksons, it just seemed to be the most common example of 'above ability' trips...even though those that were dragged faired pretty darn well.
C'est la vie.

that's a whole other pile of shit you're throwing at the fan there Diarmaid.

[Simon R.]

jevon not to be bad but a level three is usually organised when the instructors and training officer think people will pass......the fact that one hasnt been organised therefore means........ well you'll figure it out im sure.
