COLOURS 24TH-26TH JANUARY
To kick things off this year we've got our TOP SECRET, MYSTERY, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE KNOWS WHERE WE ARE GOING colours trip.
The trip will kick off at the clubhouse at 5pm on friday 24th Jan where we’re going to meet for pints before we head off. You’ll find us on the left as you come in the door of the clubhouse. We'll be waving goodbye to UCD at 6:00pm sharp and hello to the session for the rest of the weekend.
This price is great value for money and includes:
-Accommodation. This will be tight so be prepared to share beds, ayy lmao.
- The banter bus (drink allowed) to and from *secret location in Donegal beginning with B* on Friday followed by a good ol' fashioned UCDCC Seshwan
- A morning of surf kayaking on Saturday
- Cable tie competition on Saturday evening withoutstanding prizes
- Breakfast will be provided on both mornings and dinner will be cooked by our very own Jamie Oliver and Gordan Ramsey on Saturday night.
In between all the comradery, there'll be a light sprinkling of lovely cans, and further banter. So, get your names down below, and your €65 to a committee member ASAP to secure your place on the most seductive weekendof your lifetime.
Committee will be accepting money at lunch times or any pool session. If you would prefer to transfer the money the IBAN is: IE10BOFI90410639168177. If you are transferring the money make sure you sign your name on the transaction or you will be hunted like the animal you are.
Note: Cost raised from 60 -> 65
Again this includes your transport, accommodation, breakfast x2 and a dinner on Saturday
Now, in case your mammy is no longer packing your suitcase, please bring:
• Money for any snacks, chocolate, alcohol etc
• For kayaking: 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
• A pair of old shoes! (Or wet booties if you have them). The water is going to be low (on the beach), and those stones really aren't the most fun!! If you don't have a pair, pop into your local Penneys or Tesco and pick up a pair of cheap shoes!
• Towel(s) and warm, dry clothes for both days!
NB if you have not been at a pool session you must attend one before going to *REDACTED* to do a capsize drill and swim test, but a river trip is not a prerequisite to coming.
If you have any questions at all feel free to message the page on fb or email ucdcanoeclub@gmail.com
