Ok so its 25 minutes past Thursday but if there is any chance I could still go I would love to! It'd be L2 training :)

Ok guys, here's what you need to know for this weekend:
L2 training
Sarah Keogh
Stuart Campell
Here's the L2 syllabus: http://canoe.ie/en-us/awardsqualifications/skillsawards.aspx#_Toc286832618
One change: low brace turn has been replaced with turning on the move (no biggie at all)
Have a look over it, see how much you recognise and how much sounds new.
Maybe pick 2/3 familiar things you can aim to polish and 2/3 new things to ask about.
You can direct the coaching on the day to cover what you want to learn, keep in mind that there are two pool sessions a week and more river trips to come so you do have time, so make the most of it!
L3 training
Conor Mohan
Garbhan Gorman
Kate Barry
Eva Du
Micheal O' Brien
Here's the L3 sylabus: http://canoe.ie/en-us/awardsqualifications/skillsawards.aspx#_Toc286832619
Have a look over it, see how much you recognise and how much sounds new.
Maybe pick 4/5 familiar things you can aim to polish and 2/3 new things to ask about.

For L3 skills time on the water outdoors is especially important, so if you're serious about assessment (and skills development in general) get out on the Saturday trips!
Rescue

Diarmuid Ryan

* L3 intro to rescue *
Conor Mohan
Garbhan Gorman
We have weirs to set up specific rescue for as well as maintaining group awareness the whole way down the river. Here's the beginnings of a template of guidelines.

Logging
Niall Finch
Cillian Totterdell
Niall Bouchier - if the instructor can only log two people as the last to sign up you're out
We'll only have one instructor who we'll be asking to run L2 and L3 training. As L2 trainees you are all allowed to instruct L2 and L3 skills, as long as it's on grade two water. Look over the syllabi above and be prepared for the questions the L2 & L3 skills trainees will have.
Decide between you how you could run this, one trainee with L3s and one with L2s with/without swapping, where do you want the instructor, which group will need how much rescue, what will the L2 trainees do while the L3s are surfing etc. Paddy had a good set up last week using two separate groups, keeping them at the same locations but working them on different features.
Playboating
Maryanne Doyle
If more rescue is needed I'll help with that of course, but letting rescue develop is very important!
-
If I could be back in UCD before 5 I can go... If not I can't :/
-
Myself and Amanda are joining you but since we are completely private regarding gear we won't be in your ratios. I can now sign log books up to 10 hours for level 2. Hey Diarmuid can give you a lift back if late but last week you where off the river before 3:30.
When dealing with pool hours please tell me you want hours logged and I will hang out near you in the pool to observe and I would like to do a debrief as well.

it is with great regret i must inform that i am withdrawing my intention to attend tomorrows trip. Unfortunatly, unexpected happenings have arisen
-
Amazing trip.
It snowed gently the whole way, there were only two capsizes all day, the L2 (all refreshers no less!) and L3 training groups got on fantastically and both rescue and the instruction was designed by second years.
Fantastic to see all the skills that have been developed over the last two years (and in the last month for the refreshers) have resulted in a group that handled the trip so competently and made the club look so good.
The feedback form the instructor (John) was that he felt that he hardly needed to be there, that we were able to run the trip ourselves safely.
Lets do the next one even better.
-
Craicin trip guys - well done to all !

Cillian is bent !

Did Cillian in some way point out that whoever edited his post may have taking a little out of boat experience in wrens.
