for you punters planning on going to the alpes next year, cormac lynch will be given a presentation on the alpes trips to date.
this is a must for all freshers as you may not be thinking of going to the alpes but when the band wagon gets going you will want to get on :lol:
hopefully this will be the start of the organisation of this glorious two week of paddling the warm, sunny, party till its bright (outdoors), go paddling everday on gaurenteed water in 30 degrees heat, the company the food . . . . . . . alpes! why wouldn't you go :dontknow:
anyhow all people rescue/freshers/intermediates etc etc are to be at the notice board for 7.30pm
-
What 2 weeks are the alps this year?
-
hopefully this will be the start of the organisation

Ask Jim
-
Sara knows.
June 6, 3:30 PM + 2 weeks = June 20, 3:30 PM.
Do not go to Cormac's talk - it is all unnecessary. You do not need to do anything. I have been busy teaching Kieran's helper monkey to load boats onto cars, cook pasta surprise, and speak invisible French.
Jim.

Is it really June 6th or will it be the weekend after that (10th/11th)?? June 6th is a Tuesday and the day after Easkey..
Eitherways I'm sure I'll end up jumping on the bandwagon n trying to go :D N maybe even for longer then 3 days this time :lol:
-
don't listen to them!
God knows when it is, but when they know I'm sure they'll post.
FYI the last 3 years it has been the second weekend in June, that we leave and come back 2 weeks later. Other people go earlier and some stay longer, but those 2 weeks were originally chosen as there are a number of working-types who can only take 2 weeks off.
-
I hope that is ernest as my other helper monkeys may leave presents in the boats if you know what I mean. Any fresher considering going, to get the best out of the paddling side now is the time to work on breaking in and out, push yourself on the club trips and annoy people to bring to the sluice or that to practise ferry gliding in fast flow. This advice is also for kieran as well before anyone else says it.

Provisional title...
"How To Get Lost, Drive Over One Of The Highest Passes In France, Freewheel To The Petrol Station Cos You Don't Have Enough Diesel, And Then Blame The Driver, Even Though I, As Navigator, Wasn't Doing My Job. Cos I Deepthroat Goats."
-
Mickle, it's that way
Tough shit, I've got the steering wheel.
-
I believe the conversation went like this
mickle:
Are we not the best car in the world because we have kieran in the back
Cormac:
I can't concentrate on the detour when you keep mentioning him
Mickle:
I just can't help it there is just something in the way he snores
Cormac:
I think we are low on diesel, will we make it
Mickle:
Don't worry Kieran will save us
Kieran:
Where are we, don't tell me you got lost again
So in fact it is my fault for being so wonderful, now both of you to your bedrooms and no supper.
-
your telling me you got lost and Maeve had nothing to do with this!!!???
-
Maeve was taking bets on who's directions were correct. She operates out of the boot of a red VW Golf. She gives good odds which adds a bonus to her Charisma.
Has a highly addicitve nature. Not to be allowed out with her own cash.
-
She will however be perfectly at home behind the bar giving people free drink, until the bastard barman stops her.
-
She will fit in perfectly well at home. She comes from a dynasty of gamblers.
Recently opened in Arklow - I read this in the Arklow Nationalist, of course I haven't been on the premises myself, certainly not for a looooooooong game of Blackjack. I digress - is a Casino Club run by the Godfathers of Gambling, the Cox Brothers.
I may be mistaken but I believe it is actually called The Cox Emporium of Colossus Gambling.
YOU have ben warned.
-
Twas a fine talk!
-
