Title: Paddling wknd
Post by: meabh on November 16, 2004, 17:07:46
Hey guys,

just a line to let you know that there's a training weekend provisionally organised for the weekend of the 4th and 5th of December. This would be in wicklow and would be aimed at people who are doing their level 4 assesment soon.

Will have a lot more details in the next few days depending on interest so just wondering if ppl could email me so that i'd have their email addresses if they were interested.

smilaha_me@hotmail.com

Thanks
Meabh

Post by: cormac-3D on December 06, 2004, 16:37:09
Meabh,
Will the training weekend be like the weekend greg did around the same time last year covering general safety and rescue techniques?
What will it cost? are we staying overnight in the hostel in Laragh?
If it is a more advanced weekend you can count me in!

I am available on the Saturday, but not on the Sunday. Let me know if you need me........ I know you want me Meabh.

P.S. A video camera would be a great asset on the weekend if it can be arranged.

Post by: bambi on December 09, 2004, 21:05:05
Right the story is that we're going to meet at the boathouse at 9 sharp so that we can get a good few hours on the water - it gets dark at 4.30 at this time of year remember :cry:
We're staying in some hostel in Wicklow that Meabh told me the name of but that I can't remember. Sorry :?
It'll cost about €35 and that'll include petrol money, accomodation and food for the weekend.
Any other questions gimme a call 087-9427999 :lol:  :lol:
See ya then

Hello boys and Girls.....see that Girls with a capital G. (hehe sorry)

ahem....

want to apologise to everyone for the rain gods not looking kindly upon us last wknd, hopefully we'll have better luck this wknd, but either way we're heading to wicklow.

i sent most of you an email/pm about this don't have everyone's email address or mobile since it was stolen so just in case anyone missed the info:

We're meeting at the boathouse at 10 heading to wicklow for the weekend staying in Glendalough Youth Hostel, where
a) dinner and breakfast shall be provided
b)there is a tv and video so slapper if you have that video thing that'd be sweet as it was very useful last year
c) thats about it.

the cost of the wknd will be E40, sorry, i know i thought it would be 35 but its gone up slightly due to the change in plans.

The list i have at the moment is:

ado
jenny
myself
caoimhe
sara
fergal
aodhan
kieran
dave cox
cheesy (dave)
louise skelly
blá
cormac smith
cormac lynch
mark chambers
greg
brendino
slapper
colin
mick

Could everyone on this list email me (smilaha_me@hotmail.com)/ring me (at home as i have no mobile 01 4922120) to let me know for sure whether they are coming or not.

See you all bright and early saturday morning.

Thanks
Meabh.

Hey. I'd love to come down and help out on the Saturday... but I can only make it to the Saturday. Obviously, this makes me less important in terms of who gets car-space but if anyone has spare room for just that day, could you pls gimme a buzz.

What is the plan are we going ahead or are we doing just another day trip? Since we have lost two drivers and more imporantly two instructor types.Just wondering cause if we are just doing a day trip I might do some christmas shopping on sunday. I know more than likely you could get more drivers.
