I've proxied our votes for the AGM, so I can go.
I'll log hours, or rescue, or playboat, or all three.

If more rescue becomes available and it's possible for me to go to the AGM I would like to  represent us and see that/how our votes are used.

Where's the trip going this week?

If your heading to the liffey I'll probably be going to sluice for 11 again if anyone is interested in tagging along before the trip. Will be staying at sluice though and not heading down with the trip so you'll have to sort your return journey and dry clothes. Also have a solid roll as I don't plan on spending the morning doing rescue.

If the trip is elsewhere I'll still be going to sluice if anyone wants to come.

It looks like we'll only hear if Wacko is cancelled on Thursday, so we may have to re balance the trip then anyway.
What about if you convinced someone to throw a party on Friday night and then stayed at their house?

Hmm that does sound quite tempting. Would go well with polo also, meaning i wouldn't have to go home after that either.

We've enough participants to make three groups, but only one instructor so far, so it would depend on what he said.

I think they're announcing whether Wacko will run tomorrow, not sure what time though.
I'm suspicious that they'll wait til Friday...or just run it dog low.

The club trip is on the Liffey, Wacko on the Jacko is the name of a separate competition run in Wicklow including a feature called Jacksons.

Hey Maryanne, my car started acting up today so will be robbing Sue's fiat 500 to head to sluice, don't have a roofrack for it so I'll have to squeeze the boat inside. Doubt there will be room for a passenger so you'll probably have to make your own way over for early sluice.

I'll be aiming to get on the water at 11ish so I'll see anyone who's interested there.

Hey guys,

Due to unfortunate circumstances and in spite of huge efforts (Bill probably rang all the instructors in Dublin at this stage), we were only able to find one instructor for this Saturday's trip and as such can only bring 8 participants for L3/L2 training.

The fairest way to decide who goes is to take the first 8 who signed up, which is:
Steven Mulrooney
Deividas Rainys
Conor Mohan
Aoife Sheridan
Garbhan Gorman
Kate Barry
Paul McNally
Naddy Jones
...Could you all confirm that you're coming?

If anyone can't make it the next people are:
Micheal O'Brien
Ellen McGrane
Ciarán Dunne
Michelle Carty
...If you wanted to come to the boathouse in case someone can't turn up on the day, that's fine.


Sincere apologies about this guys, with Wacko on this weekend most of the instructors from the greater Dublin area are competing or working.

On second thought, I think I'll stick with the club tomorrow morning, hopefully this will only amount to wussing out, but for fear midterm week continues to take it's toll (haven't slept much) I'll try and save energy for the club trip.

I might jump on early while the groups are warming up and get in a bit of a play...

I plan on heading out to sluice over the break though.
