More correcting for you, lets face it your sick, very sick, and it will take more than a few days to fix that mind. See you at the liffiy then off intime for the french game maybe.

For once i like the sound of tea & cake instead of paddling  :) I was at Sluice last Sat & it was FREEZING!!!

Lets go drinking 2night & have a hang over day in Kylies  :) I havent been drinking since Kerry!  :o
Title: Re: This Weekend, Saturday 7th, February.
Post by: Nuala on February 06, 2009, 14:41:45
Are you volunteering your house for the drinking or is that just a general suggestion?
Title: Re: This Weekend, Saturday 7th, February.
Post by: JODY on February 06, 2009, 14:50:37
Nope my house is currently being redecorated so its a no go... twas trashed enough after Asho b-day & nobody helped clean up except Amanda... in fact the garden is still full of broken glass, no more open invite parties i'm afraid!!

I have heaps of booze for drinking in a house but i wouldnt mind even going to town  :)

Isn't that the canoe club party way? You host a party, people come, people get wasted, people make a god-awful mess, then they get up and go paddling the next day.

Thats the way it seems to have become, tis a pity. We have a hell of alot less parties these days because of that!

Post by: kmck on February 06, 2009, 18:28:27
All I remember from my first few years is, party like mad till about five in the morning, grab some floor, wake up start sorting bottles and cans then start the cleaning. Do breakfast and then leave. It was most of the people who stayed there that did the cleaning as well not just one or two reliables.

You can all see the snow and ice right? RIGHT?! seriously people, there's enthusiasm and then theres just insanity.
Title: Re: This Weekend, Saturday 7th, February.
Post by: Ley-Ley on February 07, 2009, 18:55:35
You missed it Lucy, it was a great day!!! The snow was frozen solid so it wasn't so bad!!! Plenty of swimmers too, Rodge, Karen, Cian, Nuala. Great day lads!!!

Post by: Evan on February 07, 2009, 18:59:51
Don't forget Shirley doing a t-rescue on Finch. This is the part when I would normally say thanks to the instructors and the rescue...so thanks Dave and Greg. You guys were great instructors. And also to Matt, Clíodhna and Shirley for being fantastic rescue:D
Title: Re: This Weekend, Saturday 7th, February.
Post by: finch on February 08, 2009, 10:47:43
And also the Eoghan and Aengus for rescueing Leighton

4/6 rescue swam versus 2/6 freshers (1 saving me - thanks shirley)
Something doesn't seem right  ??? :P
Title: Re: This Weekend, Saturday 7th, February.
Post by: Ley-Ley on February 08, 2009, 10:53:53
Eoghan rescued me but only because him and Aengus couldn't get the X-Rescue!!! I only swam because of Dave. Damn reverse ferry-gliding.
Title: Re: This Weekend, Saturday 7th, February.
Post by: AENGUS! on February 08, 2009, 12:30:30

Rodge was at Sluice!! Don't know about Nuala now but Cian and Karen at Lucan Weir, Cian's blades went for a bit of a swim!! The thing is, none of the freshers swam on the features!!
Title: Re: This Weekend, Saturday 7th, February.
Post by: Eoghan on February 08, 2009, 15:01:24

Title: Re: This Weekend, Saturday 7th, February.
Post by: AENGUS! on February 08, 2009, 20:16:57
Ha no no, just surfing at the bottom! I think Karen at sluice is also on the list of swims if I'm not mistaken?!! ::) :D
Title: Re: This Weekend, Saturday 7th, February.
Post by: Ritchie on February 08, 2009, 22:20:54
i think the club should introduce swim beers, would make the bus ride back even more interesting!!!
