This year we will be setting off to the far flung shores of Fundoran in Co. Donegal!!!
The banter parade will begin on Friday 9th October where we will meet in the UCD Clubhouse at 6pm for some pre-Bundoran beverages(left behind trophy cabinet). We'll be setting off at 6:30pm where the session will continue right through the weekend. We'll be returning to UCD on Sunday to watch the big Ireland vs. France game in the UCD Clubhouse. Get your best Fancy Dressout for the Saturday night😬( fancy dress is not a term we take lightly)
So you aren't left disappointed get your €50 to a committee member ASAP to secure your place :D This can be given at lunch times, any pool sessions or otherwise give one of the committee members a text. Our numbers are here: http://ucdcanoeclub.com/committee.html
Boat-Packing will be taking place on Friday 9th between 12-3pm at the UCD boathouse. Pop over between these times to claim your gear for the weekend and to help pack the trailer("such fun"!!!). If you can't make the pack then give Evan a text otherwise you will be boatless and gearless for the whole weekend :-\
What to Bring:
• Money for any snacks, chocolate, alcohol, or last minute costume props you may need ;-)
• For kayaking: Warm clothes!!!! (avoid cotton at all costs! It makes you very, very cold when you’re wet). Anything made out of 'poly-' materials is a good bet! Fleeces are great! Fleecy pyjamas are even better! Tights make a good layer, especially to pop over your fleecy layers before trying to put on a wetsuit (even the lads should consider investing!!) If you have a wetsuit bring it! If not, the club has a small selection of them...try to get to the boathouse on time to get first pick!
You can never, ever have enough layers!!! Remember to bring enough gear for TWO days' paddling.
So here’s your essential guide to keeping nice and toasty on the river ; http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10222.0.html
• A pair of old shoes! (Or wet booties if you have them). The water is going to be low (on the beach), and those stones really aren't the most fun!! If you don't have a pair, pop into your local Penneys or Tesco and pick up a pair of cheap shoes!
• Towel(s) and warm, dry clothes for both days!
NB if you have not been at a pool session you must attend one before going to Bundoran to do a capsize drill and swim test.
If you have any questions at all feel free to email ucdcanoeclub@gmail.com!!!

Sorry it took me ages to figure out how to work this thing (technology isn't my strong point) but I've got it know and just want to confirm my interest in heading to Bundoran at the weekend.

Please sign up me! I haven't paid yet as I am sick with a cold but I'll let youse know by tomorrow if I can make it if I'm feelinf any better! I'm really interested in going but would I have to kayak as I amn't feeling well atm and don't want to get too cold but at the same time I don't want to miss out on the great weekend :)
Aoife whatis't, you wont have to go in the water,
the plan is to not go kayaking on sunday
and to go kayak surfing on saturday, but you can just fuck about on the beech instead.

Some thing in life are bad,
they can really make you mad,
other things just make you swear and curse.
When your chewing on lifes' grizzle
Don't grumble, give a whistle,
and things will turn out for the best....."
