Title: KERRY 2015-2016 :D
Post by: Poohy on December 03, 2015, 17:24:51
So guys, tis that time of year again when we part our merry ways for a few weeks, not to see each other for a month *sob *sob  :'( :'(

* note change to prices!

Wait hang on... THERE IS KERRY!!! WOOHOOO!!! How could i forget! (well, i didnt.. but YOU might have! )

So what is kerry i hear all you freshers say, well sit up and get reading cause its CLASS!! Best week of your life!

So basically kerry is a week where all, that right, ALL the college Kayaking clubs in Ireland come down to Glenbeigh for a week of paddling, partying and fun


This year is a bit different to previous years where we stayed in houses. We are staying in A hostel called the sleepy camel and are being joined by UL and possibly GMIT!


WHen?
From the 28th of december till the 2nd of january

Prices!
1 night: €30
2 nights: €50
3 nights: €70
4 nights: €90
5 nights: €100

*Note change to prices!

And as per usual UCDCC fashion, these include your dinner, and accomodation :) possibly even breakfast :O

Make sure ye dont miss out on our very own QUIZ NIGHT which will be held in the OLD GELNBEIGH HOTEL on the 30th and of course who could forget NEW YEARS!


So for all you freshers:
What to bring???

- Clothes (obviously…) and GOOD WALKING SHOES (There will always be impromptu hikes with Peter O'Sullivan arround)
-LOADS OF THERMALS!!!!!
-Sleeping bag and pillow (You are not guaranteed a bed, so if you appreciate staying warm and cosy at night, a sleeping bag and pillow may be required! :P if you have a ground mat too…more the merrier!!!)
-Money (We’ll cover the dinner and breakfast but you’ll have to supply your own alcohol and if you want snacks too!  You’ll also have to cover petrol costs for the drivers too!)  The nearest ATM is in Killorglan!
-Snacks! (These are handy to bribe people into letting you squish into the already packed bed, bringing you for a breakfast roll when you can’t stay vertical, and many other briberies :D)



No way of getting there? DOnt worry, we have that sorted to! Pop over to the lifts thread located here: http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,12399.0.html

Anyone heading down in time for some paddling the 28th?

When is the hostel going to be open to us actually?
Title: Re: KERRY 2015-2016 :D
Post by: Poohy on December 23, 2015, 19:06:08
What time would you be hoping to be there at Ross... I would be interested in paddling the 28th!
Title: Re: KERRY 2015-2016 :D
Post by: Ross on December 23, 2015, 23:26:40
I could be there for 11 or 12 handily. Would be looking to go to the hostel first though, what's the story with that?
Title: Re: KERRY 2015-2016 :D
Post by: Sexual Swan Healy on December 23, 2015, 23:43:33
I'd potentially be up for paddling early too Ross! Not definite yet but we'll probably have use of the hostel in the morning
Title: Re: KERRY 2015-2016 :D
Post by: Andy J on December 24, 2015, 03:54:24
I'm definitely out for most if not all of Kerry now, the car has further issues which will not be resolved until after Christmas. The boat I was to be carrying need to be taken car of, the people whose boats they are know already the issue. So anyone going from Dublin Keep an eye out please. Enjoy guys, might catch you all towards the end of the week!

Post by: sara griffin on December 24, 2015, 14:38:22
The hostel will be available to lodge into from around 10:30 onwards so it's all good in that front
Title: Re: KERRY 2015-2016 :D
Post by: Ross on December 24, 2015, 15:34:41
Sweet, do I need a committee type to open up and sign shit or can I just show up?
Title: Re: KERRY 2015-2016 :D
Post by: sara griffin on December 24, 2015, 16:19:45

Post by: Zog on December 25, 2015, 10:54:22
Howdy, I'll be leaving Dublin at 7am, should be at the hostel for 11am or so. I'm game for the upper carragh too 👌

Post by: Ross on December 25, 2015, 19:15:57
You'd be doing very well to be at the hostel at that time, I'm leaving Thurles at 8 to be there for 11. You could always just meet us at the get on anyway depending on how you are doing on time?
