Title: Liffey Descent Rescue
Post by: Diarmuid on July 30, 2013, 17:10:21
The 2013 Liffey Descent will be taking place on Saturday the 28th September 2013 and we'll hopefully be put in charge of rescue at a point along the Liffey yet again.

Are any of you interested in doing rescue?

Every rescuer gets a free Liffey Descent Rescue T-Shirt, a free meal and a free party ticket for the after party.

Last year we were in charge of Sluice + Chicken Chute, it was great craic :D

Rescue:
Steven Mulrooney - M
Diarmuid Ryan - M
Deividas Raineys - M
Andrew Lynam - M
Oisin McHugh _ M
Rory O'Connor - L
Peter O'Sullivan - L
Conor Mohan - M
Marie Harrington - M
Aoife Sheridan - M
Nadine Jones - M
Bill Corbett - L

I will probably race this year. If I don't race I'll do sweep again, nice getting the 30euro vouchers.

I was thinking of giving the race a shot this year but if not I'll definitely do rescue. It was great craic last year and I can't argue with another paddling t-shirt :)

Everyone should try get involved in this.

Second years....This is a great opportunity to try out a bit of rescue and get your rope throwing perfected! Don't worry there'll be loads of experienced people to give ye a hand, a few tips and have the craic with :)

do you have to be good to do rescue?.....id consider doing it.

Post by: Peter O'Sullivan on September 08, 2013, 16:22:03
Seeing as I haven't done a single flatwater training session all summer good sense would be too to rescue instead of racing. Put my name down for sweep.

There's a nice spot on river right for helping people back into boats after the sluice that has had land based rescue on it before.
I'm with the oldies on wrens again this year.

Okay, so before this happens, are any of you interested in practicing a bit of Rope-throwing with Dave O'Reilly? He has kindly offered to take a group down at the boathouse.

If you're interested just say so, I think Tuesday would suit him best :)

I need to borrow a club boat for doing rescue. The gear borrowing form didn't see applicable so I didn't fill it out. More importantly I will also need a lift!

See you at four tomorrow at the boathouse.

Need I fill in a gear form!
Title: Re: Liffey Descent Rescue
Post by: Douchier on September 26, 2013, 12:47:13
Anything that isn't an official club trip is a private trip and requires a gear borrowing form.


An official club trip (ie. Saturday trips) is one where the committee has notified the College of an official club trip happening. These trips have to adhere strictly to CI course guidelines (ie. everyone has to either have the proficiency for the grade of water or be under a suitable instructor -within ratios etc.)
