It's that time of year again everybody! Who's excited for one of the highlights of the year!
Fresher's this year is going to take us to the exotic coast of Tramore in Co. Waterford.
The banter begins on Friday the 7th of October at 6pm in the Student Bar for some pre-tramore-tipples. You'll find us to the left of the trophy cabinet.
We'll be saying goodbye to UCD at 6:45pm and hello to the session train for the rest of the weekend.
Attempts at sanity, normality and sobriety shall only be accepted once we return to UCD once again on Sunday evening.
So you aren't left disappointed get your €50 to a committee member ASAP to secure your place. Let me reassure you that this is incredible value for a whole weekend away.Cmmittee will be accepting money at lunch times, any pool session or otherwise give one of the committee members a text. Our numbers are on all the membership cards.
The weekend is to include:
- The banter bus to Tramore on Friday followed by a good ol' fashioned UCDCC fresher's-warming party
- An afternoon of surf kayaking on Saturday
- Get your Fancy Dress ready for the session on Saturday night! (We take fancy dress very seriously afro.gif and any dry shites will be made to feel awkward, uncomfortable and no-craic)
- A hangover cure shall be provided on Sunday when on the return home we shall be stopping off to do a River Trip
- Breakfast will be provided on both mornings and dinner will be cooked by our in house chefs on Saturday night. This year, we can guarantee that our chefs are proficient and capable at cooking rice at least ^-^
To get kitted out for the weekend, there will be a Boat Pack held on not one, but two days this year! Find your way to the boathouse on either Thursday the 6th of October between 4:30pm and 8pm OR Friday the 7th of October between 4:30pm and 5:30pm. If you cannot make the boatpack, send our lovely quippy Andy a text on 086-3785026, otherwise you will be boatless, gearless and hopeless for the weekend #shitecraic
Now, in case your mammy is no longer packing your suitcase, please bring:
• Money for any snacks, chocolate, alcohol, or last minute costume props you may need :police:
• 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!!!
