Title: Level 2/3 Assessments Saturday 11-4-15
Post by: Vettie on April 07, 2015, 13:54:02
Assessments have arrived! Pop by the pool this week to brush up on your skills and to ensure you’ve got everything covered!  afro.gif
Also make sure that you check out the syllabus for the Level you plan to go for! Level 2: http://canoe.ie/generic-skills-awards/ (http://canoe.ie/generic-skills-awards/) Level 3: http://canoe.ie/river-kayak-skills-award/ (http://canoe.ie/river-kayak-skills-award/) . If there’s anything you’d like to practise make sure you ask someone in the pool.

When: This Saturday April 11th
Where: The Liffey or the Boyne (water-dependant)

The plan:   Meet at the Boathouse at 10am

What to bring:    
• €15! This covers the cost of the bus and instructors. Note the extra €5 to pay the instructor if you pass with flying colours!


• Warm clothes!!!! (avoid cotton at all costs! It makes you very, very cold when you’re wet). Anything made out of 'poly-' materials is a good bet!  Fleeces are great! Fleecy pyjamas are even better! Tights make a good layer, especially to pop over your fleecy layers before trying to put on a wetsuit (even the lads should consider investing!!) If you have a wetsuit bring it! If not, the club has a small selection of them...try to get to the boathouse on time to get first pick!

You can never, ever have enough layers!!!
So here’s your essential guide to keeping nice and toasty on the river ; http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10222.0.html  (http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10222.0.html)

• A pair of old shoes with a small heel! (Or wet booties if you have them). For this trip socks won’t work...the water is going to be low, so if you come out of the boat, you'll be stepping on rocks (which is not fun in socks!) If you don't have a pair, pop into your local Penneys or Tesco and pick up a pair of cheap shoes!

• Towel and warm, dry clothes for afterwards!

• Some hot stuff! Flasks of tea, soup, hot blackcurrant...they'll all be much appreciated on the bus home!!  And chocolate bars or cereal bars!!  Nothing better than some sugar after a fun day on the water  ;D (avoid things that aren't in wrappers though, cause you won’t want to wait to wash your hands before eating them!)

Note the change of sign-up close to 2pm Thursday.

Level 3

Level 2
