Hey guys, benny Cullen is looking for people to do rescue at the liffey descent on Saturday the 26th of September.
Rescue crews will get a t-shirt, food and event after party access.
So, who want to do it, and which weir would ye like to be placed at? Anyone can provide rescue, you dont have to be level three (as far as i know).
-
I might as well, but am not 100% sure I'll be around. When do they need to know?
-
he said that they just need an estimate now and that you can confirm at a later date. i am the same, i would do it but not 100% sure if i can :)
-
If we ask Trinity to join up with us we could probably have Sluice covered?
-
Not sure if I'll be racing or not, but would do it if not. Sluice is where all the fun is! I'm sure if Benny knows we're short he'll move things around, probably no point joining with Trinity yet

Lazy people can give directions Aoife
-
So will i put your name down Aoife? ROss i will put your name down anyway... well, its a number. We can change it if we want later on :)

Hi guys,
Thanks so much for signing up to help us out with this year’s Liffey Descent. As you are all aware the Descent is on this Saturday 26th September, we have around 500 competitors this year and full 4 Megawatt flood coming from the ESB. I have attached a draft rescue brief which outlines your positions, times and numbers. If you have any questions or if your crew numbers have changed please get in touch to let us know.
We have tried to accommodate you in areas you requested as best we could, unfortunately due to the nature of the race and some of the rescue points we have not been able to put everyone exactly where they wanted to be, hopefully you are all happy with your positions. That said we will probably be moving some teams around between now and then so we can still do a bit of tweaking if required. As you can see from the list we are still missing a few crews, around 10 people in total to cover Castletown Rapids, Ghost Weir and Glenaulin Weir, if you know of anyone who might be around and available please ask them to fill out the rescue recruitment form and we’ll slot them in. Thanks again for all your help and support, we’ll send a final Rescue email on Thursday with final positions.
Regards
Benny Cullen

Below is the file with details for the day

If you need a hand gives us a shout! :D
-

Yep I've no problem doing it. Can either do bank or boat don't really mind tbh. :P
-
If you're looking to borrow club gear for rescue can you let the committee know.
-
I'm up for rescue again :D
-
I can help out if they are still looking for more people :)
-
Is there a plan for drinks after the race?
-
England Wales match is on at 8, I'd fancy watching that in the student bar? Means we don't have to trek back out to Islandbridge again
-
Looks like I'm doing rescue at Sluice and going to the after party.

I might meet ye in the pub if i am finished/ suitably into my project by then :)
-
I'm in the mind of watching the match too. So that's a lift back.
-
Just to say, any rescue at the after party wearing their rescue Tshirt gets entered into a raffle for 1 of 4 €100 Great Outdoors gift vouchers
-
You probably have to stay for quite a while at the afterparty though for the raffle to happen.
-
You wouldn't go out to it for a short while, too much of a trek. I'm still in favour of a nice pub somewhere with the match on anyway
-
True, they'd probably play the match there?
