Hi guys,
Here's the dealio with what's going down on Saturday.
Everyone has to make their own way to the Wildwater Kayak Club [WWKC] in the Strawberry Beds.
Here's a map I've made to get ye there by car/bus -> MAP! (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=200531671079097350549.0004a3810ecf81ee5e90e&msa=0)
There are Fun Facts in the map notations that are fun aaaand educational ;)
There will be some people driving from UCD with a few boats. If you want a lift, contact them and be in UCD to help them with the loading of boats on cars.The rest of you can use public transport which is outlined in the map.
We are actually heading to the ICU training centre which is under the M50 toll bridge. When people get off the bus and head towards WWKC, car folk will ferry you the rest of the way.
Try to be at WWKC for 11.30am please.
See ye all there. afro.gif
Sign up below for this weeks river trip so we can have a rough number of people going
Next week is
Refreshers Week where we rope in some new blood to the club, so tell all your friends, family and anyone you happen to stumble across in college about how amazing we are and that they should join :)
Finally, as I'm sure you've all heard, the
UCDCC 35th Anniversary Ball is coming up!
The ball is one of the highlights every year, great craic is had by all and I thoroughly suggest you buy your ticket as soon as possible! For all the info Roger has kindly made a facebook event (https://www.facebook.com/events/189223991175246/) where you can ask questions, see who's going and exclaim how excited you are to attend the rare occasion where you can see people out of their wetsuits and into their finest formal wear!
Hope to see you all very soon!

You all have to start practicing for the BoaterX as well! so whenever your next to someone on the next river trip push them over! remember the more aggressive you are the better your chances of winning.

Shannon
FULL!
Would very much like a lift Bill, will bring sweets for the ride :-D Where are you driving from?
From el boathouse! Meeting there for 10 I believe.
Can I hop in the Bill wagon as well? These seats are going like hot cakes.
ill drive but i cant take boats currently space for 3 (i assume derv is coming with me... :D )
leaving from the boat house!

I would have called it "The Bill Mobile", mostly so I could mispronounce it as "The Bill MoBill"
I don't approve of that kind of humour, Maryanne.
Is this gonna be a river trip or are you staying at WWKC?
Our plan is varsities practice at ICU Strawberry Beds. Boats will be paddled up from W/Water
Helena any space left there? :)
Ok! Enjoy that!
I'll hold off till next week to try get out :)
... Can I put on some dubstep? (Have you got any stickers?)
Are some playboats being brought up for a bitta freestyle practice (hopefully ^-^)? If so then mine might be a grand one to try out for people and such. Sure I'll probably head up to UCD for 10 and help pack and get my paddles in with someone.
Can I hitch a ride with you, Bill? :o
http://youtu.be/dKXlgISd3iA?t=20s (http://youtu.be/dKXlgISd3iA?t=20s)
Bill could I get a ride with you as well?
Helena could i get a lit with you please if you're still driving, please ?
Helena are you full now or may I jump in toooo?
I don't know if you mean three including Derv or three plus Derv....
Anyone else driving who has room? If not, does anybody want to make a group to take a bus there, to make sure I don't get lost which is very likely
wait so is it the liffey centre or wild water?
I'm driving too...room for 4 or 5 bitches!! afro.gif
it'll be based out of the ICU centre...(not wildwater) but some boats will be probably (car ferried) up from wild water
Quote from: Bill C on January 19, 2012, 15:22:19
I don't approve of that kind of humour, Maryanne.
Bill disdains puns and prefers being called a wagon.
I might see ye, I'm logging hours with some of the DCU guys so should be passing.
i can drive people down but have no room for boats! space for three as i see it!
Helena's car should fit me + three, however, Luíse's getting a lift in it too; already promised ^-^.
Can I take a lift with you Eoghan please, I assume in UCD at the boathouse, yeah?
Hey Cillian.... may I claim a space in ur car please... :D
We could make some kind of joke involving Bill's surname and a comic from the 70's and through to the present day?
(http://www.ronniecorbett.co.uk/uml.jpg)
My car meet at the boathouse at 10 as per usual. And a strong hint: we will be playing the "Give Bill Biscuits" game.
Eoghan!! Mother may I have a spot in your car por favor?
i would like to go, but am in need of a drive.
Eoghan, could i have a drive?
I'll be there.
-G
Ross, Kate, Rory...ye all have a space
still got 2 more too afro.gif
i may or may not need a lift
depends whether i go home tonight or not :o
weepee, i was just about to edit my post to inculded a picture of a puppy begging.
Thank you Eoghan.

Quantum physics Matt? Us too! ^^

is dead?
I'll be driving too, with a dishwasher in the boot, but room for 3-4 passengers (let's say 3 cos there'll be a reduced amount of boot space for gear)
25 attending - 3 don't need lifts - 6 drivers = 16 passengers
16 passengers / 6 cars = 2 cars with 2 passengers, 4 cars with 3 passengers
16 passengers / 5 cars = 4 cars with 3 passengers, 1 car with 4 passengers
CONCLUSION:
Evan, you needn't drive all the way out to the boathouse cos it's out of you're way and we can fit everyone in 5 cars.
Cillian, don't worry about boats for your car, we'll be using ICU/WW boats so we don't need to bring a bot per person.
To those on the river today, this is the video I was on about...
