22 April Boyne Bash Development Day
Development day? Is that just a large training day? Sounds great except for how close the exams are.

The marathon stuff sounds great. I'd love to learn how to fix fibreglass cracks. As a general thing, but also for the hull on Lawrence.

Post by: Douchier on April 15, 2012, 16:12:27: Yep, that's about it. I'll ask them exactly what they have planned. Their website is now even working again (kinda).

Is the hull on the Deceptor not water-tight? hmmm...
There's a Gola-sprint and a Gola that certainly need some help.

Post by: Ross on April 15, 2012, 17:38:15: Definitely interested in the freestyle training stuff especially. What is the significance of ranked marathon races versus non-ranked?

Post by: kmck on April 15, 2012, 17:59:12: Remind me to send you on BOB's contact details from the Canoe Ireland executive, he's big on developing marathon.

Post by: Douchier on April 16, 2012, 23:06:47: @Ross: When you compete a ranking competition you get a certain number of points depending on how you do. At the end of the year these points are added up. The top paddlers in a division get a prize and the competing clubs are ranked, which looks like this (http://www.irishmarathoncanoeing.com/files/CLUB%20PTS%202011.pdf)

@kieran: He's the chairperson of the marathon committee isn't he? You know him well?

Post by: Ross on April 17, 2012, 00:04:39: Wow. Looks like we have some catching up to do.
Title: Re: Competitions over the Summer - LOADZA STUff TO DO!
Post by: Nuala on April 17, 2012, 00:38:51: Well that score was based on one race Niall, Karen and Matt entered over the summer (and maybe varsities last year, not sure, ask Niall).
The hope would be that a few people in even a few races and our ranking would rise like a toddler's helium balloon released from its restraints.

Post by: Anne-Marie on April 17, 2012, 20:50:37: Definitely up for loads of competitions over the summer as well, as long as we are talking weekends, since I will be doing that boring library and dissertation writing during the week! Already looking forward to trying out all the skills we've learned in the club :-)

Title: Re: Competitions over the Summer - LOADZA STUff TO DO!
Post by: Douchier on April 17, 2012, 23:06:23: Yup, Lots of everything I hope. I don't want to go too crazy when people are still doing exams and what-not.
Title: Re: Competitions over the Summer - LOADZA STUff TO DO!
Post by: Nuala on April 18, 2012, 00:39:06: I'd like to do some of this! Just not this week, I've a fair bit of work.
