right guys as everyone may have realised there are more people than we anticipated wishing to stay in the club house for kerry this year....half the club seems to be planning on staying in the club house!
the committee has decided to limit the numbers by giving priority to freshers and those ucd students who have already paid membership and who have contributed to the running of the club this year, ie been on the saturday trips, helped the committee on weekends away(ha) etc. this is in an attempt to keep the club house hospitable for members who wish to paddle over the holiday and its the only fair way we can think of sorting it out as it isnt possible for so many people to stay in the same house.
its filling up fast so get your money to pia or any committee member asap
i know its a royal pain in the ass but its the only fair way to give the few spaces we have.please dont shoot the messanger! :-*

blah it was better in my day ;D

blah it was better in my day ;D
Well sure there was more room back in your day, but you had to sit in candle-light, had nothing but warm beer, we were still part of the Brittish Empire, nobody knew what a tootbrush was, canoes were made out of deerskins and parties had to be stopped 2-3 times a night to burn witches.
Actually things probably were better, apart from the lack of oral hygiene...
-
The penny isn't dropping here...
Crowded club house. People having to sleep on top of other people. 3 to a single bed, 5 in a double. Nothing to eat but Tesco 12c noodles...
What's the problem? Reminds me of my fresher Kerry.
Which house does the club have anyway?
-
Diarmaid wasnt youre 1st Kerry the one where the houses had underfloor heating??? Yeah youre really hard core ::)
-
That kind of hardcore would suit me just fine...
Seeing as this is that canoe club though, I have to ask if you only discovered that there was underfloor heating after someone ripped up the floor because they thought it might be fun?
-
im sorry diarmaid but where is this dilusion of your fresher kerry coming from? i remember underground heating having our own team gt room and no tesco noodles....how come you got so shafted?!
-
What are the chances of us having such salubrious confines?
I wouldn't eat Tesco 13c noodles even if you were able to magically turn them into real food.
-
Just add water-magic!
-
Well I had to sleep under the kitchen table after Team GT, couples and foreigners* took all the bedrooms.
*Alex and Megan
And 12c noodles are actually really nice. ish.
I was unaware that there was underfloor heating but looking back it seems plausible.
But aren't you guys in the big swanky houses behind the Ross with the big windows overlooking the beach?
-
Are you's taking credit card/paypal ;)?
-
theyre in the home we had last year if that means anything to u. the 2 story one beside the landladys house - JACKPOT! ;)
-
Ok -i can't designate spaces for people so its only once you pay that your space is secure. Arrange to meet me somewhere or call into my house- whatever you need to do to get the money to me. Priority will be given to freshers and active paddling members who've PAID MEMBERSHIP!!!
The following people have not paid:
Asho, Becca, Dave Cox (and byrne but he's in Nepal), dave dave, diarmaid (shame on you ex treasurer!), Emmett, Clarkey, Gracie, Jimmy, Jenny, Joey, julie, kylie AND lisa!, maeve, MARK AHERN!!, Pia, Ritchie, Rurgay
Did you really think i'd forget your names?
Let the race begin.....
-
Why do I owe you membership money? ??? I never paddle.
And I still stand by my policy of being as disagreeable as possible to the club this year, financially. I think everyone should get to be completely unhelpful to their successor the year after their committee year. It's only fair.
-
PIA you wrote your name very small there why did you bother including it??? foolish so your not staying in the club house then????
-
*gasp* This is the only way committee members can avoid having to stay in the club house! They're deliberately not joining the club so that they'll be "forced" to stay in warm comfy private houses with loads of booze and committee significant others!
devious...
-
if only i was on the committee all kinda of deviousness would be going on!!!
last years kerry was sweet - imagine i was on the committee and staying in a private house - (big sigh) if only :)
-
Rurgay, Joey and Dave byrne are no longer in college, niether is Kylie and lisa doesn't paddle anymore so why should they pay membership. Having joey, dave and rugay on rivers is worth a hell of alot more to the club than 15 euro a head.
Dave cox is an ex captain and as such,honoary membership. Unless someone is using club facilities, club house or boats then why should they pay membership. It just means that associated with us and can't vote in elections. The only people on the list who should pay are the three committee members.
-
Jesus Kmck- i was only messing. That's the reason why these people haven't paid. cos i know they don't have to. My god- next time i'll just keep quiet. Diarmaid, don't worry-you don't have to pay but i am bitter cos i can't be unhelpful to my successor cos i'll be on erasmus!
Towel- you could try stealing my bank card to make me pay!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjxY9rZwNGU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjxY9rZwNGU) Pia watch this educational video. Kieran shakes hornets nest, kicks it and then sticks head inside.
-
eh excuseeee me I did pay, and I dont paddle so I'd like a reembursment. Im hurt by these aligations!
-
I thought you had but you weren't marked down in my book-MY BOOK ASHO!!! The book never lies! I'm sorry and the book apologises too for wrongly accusing you...
Ok to clear things up: The 15 euro does not just go towards paddling, it goes towards keeping the club runing-this involves all the social events, the odd bit if free booze, the weekends away! You don't have to paddle to enjoy all of those things!! You are paying a measly 15 euro for the friends, adventures and ambience that ucd canoe club provides. Sheesh-open the purse strings!
-
Hang on Kieran, weren't you the person who suggested that all non-college types pay an alumni membership of €20 each year for the benefit of the club?
-
Sounds like some kind of crazy idea I would have but I can't claim it as my own. It was one of many ideas tossed around over the years as a means of making money.
-
Good point Pia, €15 is probably the most you will ever contribute to any thing in you miserable life.
-
eh excuseeee me I did pay, and I dont paddle so I'd like a reembursment. Im hurt by these aligations!
And I'm hurt by these alligators

... sorry. it's not even 9 yet. I'm tired.
-
Hang on- Kieran you DID say that! I remember you saying it at some stage at the board! I think the exact words were: "15 euro is nothing to people who are working full time" and then something along the lines of: "I happily pay the 15 euro membership to keep the club running and i think people working full time should contribute more"
Just shows-no matter what the committee do people will moan! The amount of work we actually do and its not all for paddling. We've already organised loads of fundraisers and social events- who do you think bought all those presents and wrapped them for Santa's grotto (during exam season?)? They didn't actually come from the North pole! So its not just Fresher's and paddlers who have to pay-if you want to be involved in the social aspect of the canoe club you should do the decent thing and pay a measly 15 euro that will help keep the club running!
Dave cox- don't worry, you don't have to pay. I mean, you've broken so many boats in your miserable life that i doubt you have any money left at all. Actually, maybe you could pay as you haven't broken a boat in a while. Oh no, you didn't just break one there on the Anamoe, did you?
-
Dave Cox has 10 years' honorary membership.
Anyways. Don't pooh-pooh €15. €15 will buy you a slice of cheesecake and a newsreel, with enough left over to ride the trolley from Battery Park to the Polo Grounds.
-
I'm not giving out to Pia cos I know she has a hard job collecting money off all you students but I really dont think its fair to ask me, Rurgay and Dave for membership. The three of us are on many trips during the year and provide rescue without being the instructors, despite me and dave being qualified instructors. There has also been times when me and dave have lead trips in the past when Former Committee members where too drunk or hungover. I have been in Kerry twice and both times i have brought trips out paddling when committee members wouldnt, and dave done it last year and even with the carnage that resulted and the hassle that it made for him he still helps out this year.
Like i said Pia, I know you have a hard job to do but i do think that we def cover our fifteen euro membership in the work we do for the club. (this feels like it could be the start of another debate along the lines of Jevons 'radical Islam......)
-
Joey seriously-the reason i have not asked you or Rurgay or dave for membership is cos i know that you do lots of works for the club. I wrote down everyones name at the start of the year and marked off everyone one who paid and i only put your names on the board to stir shit cos you weren't marked down as paid. I didn't think it would work this well!!
Believe me-if i wanted your 15 euro i would have asked you for it before now-Anyway, none of you are staying in the club house so it makes no difference
-
wow pia that joke was not taken well by the people maybe you should write 'JOKINGLY' after you make a joke like that!!
-
I really should have! Just to set the record straight-anyone who is no longer in college does not have to pay but any contribution will be greatly appreciated. For example- Killian and Lorcan are also instructors and they both paid membership. Anyhow-enough of that!
Ok the list of jokes we can no longer make:
Jew jokes
Money jokes
Nazi jokes
Total 'Mare' jokes
Emmett birthing jokes
-
i for one am also hurt by the culchie joke that i am subjected to. not to mention the limerick jokes, poor spelling jokes,
in fact
I HATE FUN
-
aww i thought me giving birth to emmet was HILARIOUS! and ya got to see emmet naked which is OBVIOUSLY a plus!
-
what???? but thats all my prime material :(
-
The Emmett birthing was hilarious! I just don't think many people will find it as tastefully done as we did so i put it on the banned list just to make sure.
Also added to the banned list:
Fat jokes
girls are stupid jokes
ritchie is stupid/dyslexic/has a vasectomy jokes
political jokes
culchie jokes
bad spelling jokes
fun jokes
and i think anything of a sexual nature should also be banned- just incase we offend anyone
-
on top of all those i think we should all be really crabby all the time and never have any fun.
-
good call, cian. I liked you much better in first year.
-
zaaaaaaaaapppppppp
-
don't worry, don't worry. if we're very crafty we can work around it by making a series of cunning puns.......which actually won't be very cunning at all-in fact, they'll be pretty obvious.
watch this space.
-
oooh I love puns!
Einstein, masturbating. It's a stroke of genius.
-
stop screwing up my topic with yer shite
-
can't do that Dee....
-
Impeach Dee...oh now we're screwing up YOUR topic, so wha?????
-
Yeah Impeach!!
Or else we could just sing a rendition of "Dee is a Whore"! Anyone?
There's no one who dee will not score
She'll do it till she's sore
Cos Dee is a whore!!
She will even do it while you snore
She's always wanting more
Cos Dee is a whore!!
[*sung to the chorus of yellow submarine*]
-
Impeach Dee
not till the second monday of next term. ;)
-
Dee won't score me, we have a deal. If I don't score dee this year, I get a bottle of really expensive whiskey from Kylie. Thank god he was drunk that night cause he thinks I have to score her to win it.
