Title: Level 3 Training Opportunity!!
Post by: Diarmuid on March 03, 2014, 21:49:07

Would anyone be interested in a free training day as part of a level 3 instructor assessment? Should be getting close to but not above level 3 skills. Will probably be run on the Inny or in Wicklow, so long day out.
They're looking for 18 people total on Saturday the 15th March.
It's a brilliant opportunity for anyone to get a really good days training for their level three, everyone available should do it!

I'd seriously recommend this, all the instructors who are being assessed will be trying to show off their very best instructing so you'll get a really good day's paddling. Probably sweets too.

You have your level 3 skills so I don't think you can do it!

Okay, they will meet participants at the canoeing Ireland training centre at the strawberry beds there at 9.30 am on Saturday.

Are you interested?
Anyone who does not have their level 3 and is looking to do it before end of year should do this!

If not Kilkenny, yes (so to be decided tomorrow). What about equipment?

Title: Re: Level 3 Training Opportunity!!
Post by: Diarmuid on March 11, 2014, 17:38:28

Equipment will be sorted by the ICU! Only recommendations are togs, a fleece and a packed lunch.

Strong tendency towards this instead of Kilkenny - think I might get the more suitable training for my current skills. It's also a shorter cycle than UCD for me ;) Would I need to sign up somewhere? And just seeing that you wrote Saturday whereas in the original post you said Sunday... both is fine, just need to know ;)

Changed to Saturday!

If you say you're going I'll let them know and you're good to go!

Does anyone else want to? Please sign up now

Do you remember the lift I gave you from the end of the liffey one of the trips. We left a carpark and went right. we passed the liffey centre a minute later. You're biking distance away from it just a huge hill in your way

Haha yes should be fine, I'll cycle through phoenix park and from the back exit I'll find it, thanks. The hill will do the warm up!

It's that one, right? http://goo.gl/maps/Dod5h
