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.
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.
I'd be up for doing the Marathon races - I won't be around in July but I could make all the other ones
i'm interested in everything, should be around most, if not all summer
Definitely interested in the freestyle training stuff especially. What is the significance of ranked marathon races versus non-ranked?
Remind me to send you on BOB's contact details from the Canoe Ireland executive, he's big on developing marathon.
@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?
Wow. Looks like we have some catching up to do.
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.
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 :-)
Just throwing it out there - while plans are still being made - I'd be up for any playboating or river running training that goes on....interested in the other stuff too :)
Yup, Lots of everything I hope. I don't want to go too crazy when people are still doing exams and what-not.
I'd like to do some of this! Just not this week, I've a fair bit of work.
turns out ill be working in meath for the summer so depending on hours and whatnot i may actually make some of this stuff! ^-^
