What: The Club Championships is an event similar to Varsities, except that is is every club in the country that wishes to enter, and it is mass participation. The majority of events have no cap on entries unlike Varsities. There are 8 events instead of 5 too! It's a chance to try a different discipline that you've never tried before, or revisit some you haven't done in a while!
Where: Dublin, based around Sluice
When: 21st and 22nd of March, the weekend before the end of midterm
Cost: €30 for Adults, €20 for Students (that's us)
Timetable:- Saturday AM: Slalom at Sluice; Sprint at Salmon Leap
- Saturday PM: Wild Water Racing at Sluice
- Saturday All Day: Polo, location TBC, to be within 20 minutes of Sluice
- Sunday AM: Freestyle at Sluice; Marathon Race from Sluice to Palmerstown
- Sunday PM: Rafting Race at Sluice; Le Mans Race at Sluice
Sign up here if you are interested in competing, and in what event. If you are signing up to an event that has classes within it, e.g. Marathon, also post up what class you would like to compete in. You can find all the information on each event including the classes at http://canoe.ie/club-championships/
You have until the 13th of March to decide, after that it'll pretty much be too late!

Afraid you can't do all of it Diarmuid :P One thing per time slot (except for the Le Mans, and rafting I presume :) )
-
Le Mans: Line you boats up at the side of the river. Run to your boat, get in, launch and race to the bottom.
-

I actually noticed that an hour ago, and didn't bother changing it :P
-
so this is going ahead yeah?
-
yep!
also, for anyone who's under 23, the marathon is a great one to do as training for the Junior Liffey descent on the 23rd of May :) Pretty much the same length! (one extra weir instead of Leixlip Lake)
-
Not sure I'll actually be competing. Can we register on the day?
-
Not a bleeping chance Steve. Today would be the last day for registering since it involves a shed load of organisation on behalf of CI office. They'll kill you with forks
-
Ah I see. Like the club is registered. I just don't know if I'll be around to compete and won't know til next week.
-
Sure gowan - I'll do the marathon for the shits and giggles! :)
-
Oh god, dreading this marathon now.. :/ sure, burn off the home cooking :P

It's seriously grand! Just slightly longer than a club trip :)
-
If you're still stuck for a polo player I don't mind giving it a go! If not I'll throw my name down for WWR if it's not too late? Would be up for rafting too (if anyone drops out) and sure might as well go for le mans!
-
If not too late stick me down for WWR, Marathon, and Rafting or Le Mans. :)
