What's Happening this weekend?

This thursday (18/09/08), we are meeting at 7.30pm at the main gates of Trinity College for the first pool session of the year. Bring togs, and towel and general swimming pool stuffs! After the session we'll be heading to the pub. I can never remember what happens then, all I know is I usually make it home eventually.

Then comes the first saturday trip of the year! We are heading to Dun Laoghaire!

For those of you that do not know how to get to Dun Laoghaire here are some easy directions.

Bus

The best bus to get would be the 46A to Dun Loaghaire Dart Station. Get off the bus and walk away from Dun Laoghaire past the Dart Station towards the direction of Salthill and Monkstown. You will come to a bridge on your right, cross over it and you should see us there with a lot of Canoes and more than likely hungover Committee members. Approach us with caution.

Dart

If you are getting the dart, get out and turn right and walk away from the station towards Salthill and Monkstown. same story applies there.

However, just in case you do get lost, at least one of the committee members will be standing at Dun Laoghaire Dart Station, probably Mark Egan - 0877450834, because he suggested it. If you feel lost, ring him and he will guide you safely there.

What to Bring

We provide all your kayaking equipment, but be sure to bring your togs and a towel. If you have a wetsuit and booties fantastic, otherwise make sure you bring a pair of old runners or something for your feet. Any thermals or old fleeces are also really handy. If you don't have any you can pick one up in Penneys for cheap. The important thing is NO COTTON! When cotton gets wet it gets cold; use fleece, nylon, etc instead.

See you there!

[tonshin]

What is happening for this week? Cannot wait to go 

[Nuala]

This week is pretty much the same story as last week:

Meet at Trinity gates at 7:30 on Thursday, proceed to the pool, practicing in the pool from 8 till 9, pub after, then Doyles if you so wish.

Saturday is Dun Laoghaire again, 10.30. See the directions above if you weren't there last week/can't remember how to get there.

Oh, and there's generally a bunch of us meeting at 1:00 by the yellow thing in arts for lunch most days (but especially mondays when there are biscuits). If any freshers want to come along you'd be most welcome - it's a good way to get to know people.
