Mark Hates You All.
But me, I'm gonna offer you free membership into our special, loving club if you can desgin a savage membership card for the club by the First of August. We bandied about a couple of ideas and thought about something different, like the new AiB student mastercard (see through with only three corners), having diifferent colours for boys an girls, having a bottle opener incorporated of some such functional practicality... Now, we know these aren't original ideas so we're passing it over to you. Paul Power came up with the discopaddler, Jim and Brendino set up nazifunrafring, what have youse dudes got to give back to your club?
Yeah?
Peace

Myself and Andy put a good bit of effort in a few years ago. Best to change the design, but the computer work is all done if you want to use it as a basis:

Well, we were looking for something a bit more exciting, we're gonna make them in hard plastic, same as a yer bankcard or whatever.
Any of you design/arty/creative types want to design something that'll really stand out? You have free reign and three months -go wild.

I'll deffo give this a shot over the comming month. Are we keeping the discopaddler logo?
-
We are
-
The only problem I can see is that you'll have to get these done in bulk
and thus nobody's name could go on them. I've seen a few places that
prints up plastic cards but none that do the strip on them
(like on credit cards where you sign your name).
-
Well, we're gonna get em printed up in bulk with numbers on em and then get people to sign the back, aiite?
-
Do you know anywhere that will do this? As that wouldn't really be bulk as every print would be different by 1digit. Just my opinion, could be wrong :-/
-
if it really comes down to it we could just rent one of the laser-card printers from admin. (the ones they used for stu. cards) and print each card ourselves!!
.... for the moment the competition is just looking for a basic jazzy design thats something different form other cards....
the detailing such as sponsorship logos, members numbers/signatures, committee contacts, etc will be added later once the winning design is chosen 8)
-
how about if they had a magnetic stripe that automatically records how much money you owe the club? :P
-
ye'ze can feck off if you think ill help you shower...the only reason this is a compition is cause you lot dont want to do any work, Mark delegated this to one of the commitee ,who then delegated it down the chain until there was no one left so it got delegated to the club. clever! but i saw through it all along.
-
clever!
is rather, isn't it?!
:)
We just thought there would be some of ewes out there who could make a really good job of this, but obviously yis aren't up to the task. We promise to make the cards, bring them into existence by physically giving birth to them ourselves if necessary, if youse guys can make em look good.
-
ye'ze can feck off if you think ill help you shower...
maybe we should ask Mark or Killian. they seem to be good at helping people shower. each other, anyway...

Does it have to be a plastic card? I was thinking a folded card with a list of rivers that you can get stamped. Shows progress and means you can see what rivers someone has done.

I hear you Kieran, A formalised ranking system is just what this club needs!!!
How else Will people know who they're better than?
-
Ps, I totally agree on simon on this one, this is just the sort of under handed laziness that we've come to expect from the Marx Leaders of this club. They're pretending to give the control over to the peole, But they're really just Bone idle. Why It reminds me of the dark days of the Bannon Administration!!!
Better in my day....Bitter in their Day.
-
Impeach the committee!
-
I say instead of plastic cards, we should each design a poster say A0 size and give them to the committee to decide which ones they will use. Just pick either a paddling or party picture and add a funny catchphrase. Only screwing beats canoeing! Sort of thing.
-
I have to say i think Kieran is on to something with a list of rivers on it. it would be nice to give people something to aim for. It might also be a good idea if we didn't have all the rubbish posted under a valid topic.
It is a good idea that people in the club who aren't on the committe have a chance to give input to whats going on, as in the past information and help have been offered and not taken.

Ps they were my last 2c i'm so broke.

Don't mean to be a spoil sport, but this could easily create a false perception of ability.
Hypothetically, a person could be invited onto a difficult river in mid-low water. Just because that river is stamped does not mean they would be capable of doing that river again the next day, different water level, different group of people.
Rivers change in difficulty very quickly, there's a lot more to it than what you've done before....
my 4c,
-
ICU certs can create the exact same false perception, however most of them are treated with more than a grain of salt, the idea of a 'river hitlist' isn't all that bad as it's, like Lorcan said, a bit aspirational for fresher's coming through. I don't think anyone will turn around and say well you have run X rivers and therefore I would automatically assume you are the sh1t... Most people know the ability of other paddlers in the club. It's not a score card or formal system suggested, just a more of a logbook for the hell of it. Might even encourage more people out regularly...
Pure Opinion.
Edit: Diarmaid's suggestion has considerable merit ;-)
-
jaysus, we are just looking for a CARD here people, NOT a frickin' treasure map or log-book entry or a what not.... JUST A CARD.... 40X60mm!!!
-
I call dibs on the free membership if an honorary member wins it.
-
Hey guys,
Just wanna bring this back up to people's attention, now that exams are over and yis have sooooo much free time ye probably don't know what to do with yourselves.
We have a had a couple of pretty cool submissions, but you still have another month and a half to express your innate creative genius.
Get to it!

date meant to be 2007/2008 obviously but couldn't be arsed changing it at the moment.
-
those lady padlers are awesome good job jucie!!! maybe you ould put the disco paddler in the middle of them if we wanted to keep him!!
-
Ok so I stole lucys laydee paddler idea cos it freakin rocks but could put a blue disco paddler there instead if she objects
Could have a different photo, pending ritchie's permission too (or whoevers hehe) but since the plan is to have them on hard plastic a photo could come out really well, and where the white boxes are ya could have it in that stuff that they use on the back of bank cards so u can write on it.
Needs to be fixed a bit, different font or whatever, but blah, here's my first attempt :) :D
Oh and 2006/2007 means 2007/2008 blahdy blah.....

I take it as flattery Asho...might sue you for plagiarism if I'm stuck for cash.
As Ali suggested, if we need/want to keep the Disco Paddler.....

cud use that one for a poster juicy
-
Great work guys - some people are obviously still not doing exams! ::)
Asho, I love the photo on the front!
-
... there's only about 5 people who'll get this, but I'd like to propose a motion that those girly paddlers get a bigger rack.
-
Ok Juice. Thats good.that's very good.
leave the get up get out get boating....
Ps. Piss off you lazy committee sods and do this your selves!!!!
PPs. Get bent World!!!
-
Is it just me or does Coxy's post seem to convey a sense of drunken mumble to drunken agression?
-
It may just be my withered eyesight but does the disco paddler above seem a bit small or is he just far away.
I looks like those two ladies may seriously break him.
-
But, as Diarmuid has pointed out, not with their racks.
-
Just wondering are we rewritng the little book we give freshers at the start of the year? Are we just recycling the old one with the copyright infirngement form william nealy's book kayak? An update on what to wear, advertise upcoming trips away with a freshers diary of freshers and of course committee introduction with pictures. At the end of it you could leave space for an informal log of rivers done. I am just saying this because it hasn't been changed except for the committe page since I started.
-
I never got a FRICKING BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
pending ritchie's permission
i have no prob!!
-
yah jucy, you never got a book because when we saw you coming twords the stand we all decided that we wanted your money but not you. that is why we didnt give you a book, we didnt want you to know where to find us.
-
& we were obviously fairly drunk at that stage if we let you join up!! ;)
-
screw you...I was cleaning out my room for the summer and I found the bag from the all the shit i collected on freshers week etc. and I found my book..so ha!
-
I hope all the freshers didnt treat these books with the same lack of respect Juicy did, they cost valuable club money! How could you Juicy!!!! :o
-
I'm sure other freshers like pia and becca went home and studied the book front to back...not all was wasted.
-
when is this competition over??
-
soon, probly start of semester
