Title: Dun Laoghaire 20-9-14
Post by: Vettie on September 19, 2014, 19:34:36
When: Tomorrow (Saturday 20th) at 11am
Where: WEST pier, Dun Laoghaire

We’ll be off the water around 3pm, and then it’s off to Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club for a bite to eat – toasted sandwiches, paninis or pizzas – so remember to bring a few extra euros.

How to get there:
The DART will bring you right there!
If you're coming from campus, the 46a bus is your best bet and will leave you off at the Dun Laoghaire DART station too (last stop)!
Other buses that will get you there are: 7, 7a, 8, 45a, 46a, 59, 75, 111

What you need:
•   € 5
•   Some thermal clothes. Avoid cotton at all costs, it soaks up water and makes you very, very cold! Materials that start with 'poly-' are the way to go! Fleeces and tights (even for the guys!) are brilliant additions as well  Bring an old pair of shoes that you don't mind getting wet and if you have a wet-suit, bring it along! If you have an old light rain jacket that you don't mind getting wet, they work nicely to stop the wind giving you a chill!
•   A towel and dry clothes for afterwards!
•   Some money for some sandwiches/pizza/tea/coffee/anything warm that you may want!
•   Coins for the bus/ DART
For anyone who hasn't been to a pool session yet, you‘re still more than welcome to come along. Just let the instructors know that you haven't been and they'll organise for you to do a short swim test and capsize drill out there 

Hope to see everyone there ! afro.gif

Great, one fresher T-Rescued twice, one off my arm, but I'll count it. (Good man Finbar!)
