The most fantastic weekend of the year so far is here. Lahinch is on it's way and I know everybody wants to go. This amazing weekend of drinking and surfing and drinking and Trinity slagging is all set. All we're missing now is YOU.
We leave UCD on Friday the 21st (if you can't figure out how far away that is just look at the countdown timer) and we come back on Sunday the 23rd. The theme for the Saturday night pub crawl and partying is Board Games so I hope you all have lots of ideas for your costumes.
The weekend will cost €60 for those who pay on or before this Saturday. We will also take a deposit of €30 to secure your place at the lower price. After Saturday the price will go up to €70 so make sure you have that extra €10 for your bottle of Bucky.
Pay me and me only. I'll be at the board at 1 on Thursday and Friday and everyday next week as well as at the pool sessions and this Saturday's trip.
Oldies, this part is for you:
Bus only - Full price
Bus 1 way - Full price
Hostel only (2 nights) - €35
Hostel only (1night) - €20
No other combinations of hostel/bus payment will be considered.
This is a fantastic weekend and was my favourite last year ;D
So let's go win colours
-
And who made you Karen?
-
A boy can dream can't he!
-
Dreaming is one thing...
-
I don't like what you're trying to imply here Bill. The only posts that should be appearing on this thread are
Oh Evan! You're post about Lahinch was so informative and entertaining. Please take my money. Take it all from me now.
and that's not what you've written Bill. Let this be considered a warning that next time you decide to go to Kerry with your family instead of coming to Wicklow paddling with us we're going to do something really really fun. I just don't know what yet. >:(
-
So you say, Evan.
And besides, every single one of the words in your original post was coherent English. What's the use in that?

-

-
I thought Freshers was the best weekend. Does this mean I have to go to this too? Now I know how you get people to go to the weekends.
-
forget lick a local. you have to trump phil grabbing a guards boob last year.
I thought we were going to try NOT to get any of our club arrested this year...
-
phil didnt get arrested and we got rid of the real trouble maker.
i just hope trinity can control themselves and not bring disrepute on ucd as a result of our association with them during this event.
-
I just hope we can throw some more of their boats off the cliff.
-
............and maybe do some surfing too?
-
we stole those boats diarmaid, remember!
-
excuse me??????..............i shall forget i read that and hope you were lying!
lahinch will be AMAZING!!!! :D :D :D :D
i cannot wait!
-
forget that we stole your boats? that is probably for the best beacuse we didnt even know we took them untill you guys told us.
-
I'll be at the board at 1 today if anybody wants to give me money. Don't forget that the price goes up if you don't have at least your deposit (€30) to me by tomorrow at the latest.
-
will you be around for the rest of the day?? cos lying on the couch watching tv is gona take up a lot of the early afternoon!!
-
You could always come paddling
-
thats an interesting proposition!! ill think about it :P

-

Not gonna be around till next weekend.
-

-

-
yessir
-
I transfered my €60 to the club account, I'm gonna be on the bus on Friday so might drop my boat over for the trailer during the week if anyone is about some evening.
-
I'm in college until 5 tomorrow so I can hang around for a while if you want to drop it over then.
-
No can do, busy on Mondays. any other day should be ok
-
Just to let everybody know that if you haven't paid me any money for Lahinch by now, the price has gone up to €70.
-
Woot.
Hope the waves will be better than Rossbeigh.
-
Pop me down for Saturday night Evan!
-
i transfered to the club account ..............on sat!!
-
Nice vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J-B4Fbx03c)
-
Hmmm, there's been an interesting development - anyone feel like starting for Lehinch on wednesday evening (though prolly thursday morning) ?
I think an early trip to work up on the old surfing appetite, accomodation will be sorted.
-
Will anyone with a boathouse key be around 2m evening around half 6 to let me drop my boat in???
-
Whats boats are going to be brought? If it's possible, could the Perception Java be brought? The T-Canyon too. ;D
-
Trailer tying will be happening on Friday for EVERYBODY (including you Leighton) who wants a boat brought down on the trailer.
Watching trailer tying will be happening on Friday for everyone who feels smug in the knowledge that they have their own boat and their own car and their own racks and their own straps. Smug bastards
Both will be followed by drinking.
-

Sweet!!
-
What time is this trailer tying going on ??
-
What's with the insatiable thirst for knowledge on this forum today? All I'm seeing is question after question after question.
-
Why aren't you thirsty Evan?
What's your middle name?
When's the last time you downed a bottle of water?
How many eye lashes do you have?
What age to you think you'll get married?
Are you going to lahinch?
Where you really on the committee the whole time?
Is your left pinky toe actually pink?
ANSWER ME THAT EVAN, this is only the tip of the iceberg!!!!
-
The trick is to make up the strangest wrong answers you can and see if people believe you :P
(I'm working on Friday but still want a boat brought down)
-
Whats boats are going to be brought? If it's possible, could the Perception Java be brought? The T-Canyon too. ;D
You could, but you won't want to. While you'll be able to surf it a bit, it won't be a fun, frolicking, surftastic experience!
-
ANSWER ME THAT EVAN, this is only the tip of the iceberg!!!!
You know Kyle, it's quite disappointing that you couldn't finish it off with a question. Now you'll get no answers.
-
No one has faith in The Big T. For shame.
-
Well it can be fitted with a sail.
-
im gonna try get off work on friday just to be smug and watch you guys tie the trailer from my car
i wish i could go on friday :(
-
Okay, I'm leaving my house at around 2 on friday if anyone wants to bum a lift and start early? You will have to get a bus to carlow though.
-
One other thing, if you have practicals on friday evening cian can write a letter saying you're competting at colours.
-
can that letter get me off work? :D
-
Not really, as work would like to know why you where competeing in a college competition.
-
damn technicalities
-
They make the world go round
-
No, the sun makes the world go round.
-
no, the sun makes the earth go round the sun.
the earth goes round because of the intrinsic momentum that existed in the early solar system as the planets coalesced. in the case of Earth, that's heavily modified by an early impact with a large body that caused the formation of our moon - in fact, I think maybe the earth even goes round the wrong way? or at least too slow. can't remember now...
-
leighton got owned :D
-

No one likes a smart arse. Anyways, the sun still makes the Earth go round, I just didn't specify what it makes it go round.
-
actually I suppose technically my last post was why it goes around. what makes it go round is its own gravity combined with its prior liquid state.
-
And give it a few million years and it will stop going round altogether due to friction with the tides, winds and such!
-
There are 45 people coming down to Lahinch from Trinity!! It's gonna be epic guys!! :)
-

can he really do that?
-

Some of them are girls too!!

Yeah because you'll be representing UCD in a competition
-
I'll need to get my boat into the boathouse also. Will anybody be at the boathouse thur eve getting the paddles etc and what time?
-
Shotgun the green G Force!!! ;D
Oh and what time is it at....if you don't tell us evan then no one will show up! Could be fun for you tying the whole trailer!! :D
-
You have to get to the boathouse to call someclaim something. Also there'll probably be a good bit of boat swapping as people come and go.
-
no shotguning unless you can see the boat and that means turning up early to help tie the trailer. standard house rules. also if you have gear you want on the bus from the boat house please turn up to the boat house (on time) to get said kit. the committee are NOT your personel pack mules.
also for this one lets meet in the forum bar. it is closer to the boat house which is where the bus will be picking us up from so we dont have to carry all of out gear to the bus at the far end of campus.
-
so wat time do we hav 2 be at the boat house for?
-
I'm not sure they know themselves, Eoghan!
-
get there early and drink!!!!!
-
ha rite!i no im gonna turn up n be told im late anyway so its irrelevant really :)
-
so wat time do we hav 2 be at the boat house for?
Boathouse? Just be at the Forum bar for when it opens!
-
jeez just ring someone on committee when you get to collage n see what the story is or
just to the fourm bar and if / when they need you they'll come get you!!
p.s. if your too drunk they wont want you to help :)
-
p.s. if your too drunk they wont want you to help :)
your not supposed to tell them that, they have to figure it out for themselves
now nothing will get done
-

Surely that would lose most of the workfoce?
-

nah, see the committee can't drink until the trailer is tied.
the system works.
-
I beg to differ Diarmaid. I was drunk many a time last year before the trailer was tied
Then again the one bonus part of being treasurer is that your always too "busy" collecting money to tie the trailer (take note Evan)
-
Is the Canadian being brought down? I want a shot in that tank!
-
p.s. if your too drunk they wont want you to help :)
No, we'll just tell you what to do and laugh at your feeble efforts. We need our entertainment too.
Ok, trailer tying is at three o'clock. If you want a boat on the trailer you must be there to put it on yourself. We will head to the pub afterwards. If you have a really good excuse for not being there and ask me really nicely or buy me a pint I might be able to get boat on the trailer for you, but those who help tie the trailer get first pick of the club boats.
-

Myself and Riona along with Skelly Lolly and Caoimhe (and now Sara) hehe are by far the most pro canadian paddlers in the club... and in my pro opinion - that YOKE is not getting off the shore.... sorry bout ya! It doesn't even go in a straight line
-
the bus is piking us up at 5 at the 10 bus stop ergo we shall not be in the fourm we shall be in the STUDENT BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Aww, I love that boat, even though I've never been in it.
-
SURF'S UP!!! (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7739711.stm)
-
You sure? the fabled magic seaweed isn't giving the greatest of reports
Oh I see, it was a link!
Silly me!
-
Surf is looking like it's going to drop for Saturday. Swell height is at 3.5ishm today and tomorrow, drops off to around 2.7m for Saturday, and rising all day Sunday, if anyone is there on Monday they are talking about 7 and 8 metre swells.
-
Sweet, anybody interested in staying till Mon?
I got space for 3ppl in the motor vehicAL
-
the swell is fine. the wind could be a problem.
-
Wooooooh!!!! Can't wait!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
atleast we wont have as many freshers geting sweapt out to sea as we did last year.
-
Did we ever find them?
-
Scare mongering doesn't work! Oh, by the way, I want a rescuer all to my self. ;)
-
What's this rescue of which Leighton speaks?
-
Fine then, I'm going to stay with TCD, I bet they look after there freshers!
-
nope
-
Fine then, I'm just going to do something that takes my fancy when the time comes!
-
You will all be doing self rescue in the surf. it is as easy, if not easier for you to get all of your gear in to the shore as it is for a rescue boater to do it for you.
-
oooooooh well have fun guys, sounds like its gonna be the bees knees!
(hm, i cant find an sufficiently jealous looking smiley face... guess this ones gonna havta do: :-\)
-
me too :-\
-

Ah well, i guess ther'll be other trips..... wistful sigh

GO!
Yeah I'm with juicy on this one, i wanna hear it all!!!
-
well if you want to know - go back in time and actually come to lahinch!!!
how'd you like them apples :P
-
I agree no gossip for people who don't come, except at the message board in college. Not on a public forum where parents can see.
-
Good craic people!
-
i would like to know who got the most points though... and also who won/lost spoon in the crotch.
-
"what goes on tour stays on tour".
you have to go on tour to find out what happens. that is what you all get for not comming. :p
thanks to everyone who made lahinch this year. now roll on kerry. it is going to be savage. i for one cant wait to get down there.
cian.
p.s. i totally won spoon in the crotch. i came late to the game but i made up for it by getting everyone back. even one or two innocent bystanders... oops!
-
Who got it the worst? Same winner... ;-)
-
It was quite amusing to walk into the common room to see everyone holding a spoon, covering their crotch, eyeing each other suspiciously, and then have someone lob a curved piece of metal at your midriff.
-
I avoided that area as much as possible, but was quite amused to see people come into the kitchen and spend 5 minutes bent over double from the pain.
-
Some kind, caring, compassionate committee member you are. (Actually come to think of it, are any of us?)
Freshers this is the part where you jump in and say how absolutely wonderful we are as a committee and how we're the best, kindest, most caringest committee you've ever had in your life.
-

That's slightly unfair, you being the only committe we've had so far!
-

It doesn't mean you can't tell us that we are super fantastically amazing, unless you're telling Nuala in which case you have to put -tastic at the end of every word.
-
You don't want to know what I think. ;D
-
I'm caring! But you guys are idiots. :D
-
i think i got the worst single blow from pencil but that trinner was pritty pissed off at me so it could have been him either...
-

yeah....i remember someone from our club giving out quite a bit about you.....dont think he had played sppon in the crotch game before!!
-
I don't think he was trying to play at the time, I think that he just go caught in the cross-fire.
-
Tell him to man the fuck up, I mean if he took a full flight spoon in the crotch and was still able to give out for ages, well he needs all the masculinity he can lay his hands on. Pansies...
-
caelin wasnt too pleased with me either and i didnt even spoon her in the crotch. i dont know what it could have been;)
-
Tell him to man the fuck up,
The person may no longer be qualified to do so..
-
well then if they are a woman what are they complaining about. moaning wont get them anywhere.
-
Doesn't matter if they weren't apart of it, the golden rule applies.
-
i also love how much trash has taken notice of one of her freshers pains.
as if they are some kind of inconvenience.
-

how about stop being a bender and spill the fucking beans!
because i've heard some things...some baaad things. and i'm not beyond posting them RIGHT NOW.
what i've got is probably better then the truth...Kmck...
oh and don't think i've forgotten you ali....
i havn't heard anthing yet but by god. if there's anything to be had i'll find it.
-
what i've got is probably better then the truth
I'd probably agree with you there becca
-
im afraid to disappoint....
Ali really let down the side this year.... The trinners were warned in advance thus massive cock blocking ensued...
-
but how do you block against a target so gaping?
that's gotta be like a 5-man wall or something
-
caelin wasnt too pleased with me either and i didnt even spoon her in the crotch. i dont know what it could have been;)
thats cause you walked up to her, ate her food without asking, went "eeeeeurgh thats disgusting, your nit doing anything right"......and then abotu 10mins later offered to buy it off her.....
and i love my freshers....i cant be blamed for my memory loss over lahinch....i have as much memory loss when horrendously hungover as when i drunk!
-
i know i was winding her up .i was also being sarchastic when i said i didnt know why she was pissed. also i think she was more anoyed by me walking off with the pot of food and telling ucd that their food was cooked.
p.s. i dont think i ever said it was disgusting but i could be wrong.
-
You weren't, it was.
-
becca
oh and don't think i've forgotten you towel....
i havn't heard anthing yet but by god. if there's anything to be had i'll find it.
asho
towel really let down the side this year....
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ;) ;D
-
So who won????
-
who do you think? of course we did! we had a slight advantage of having more spoons.
also we won the rugby and they got trashed (no pun intended) by south africa.
-
And by a show of hands of everyone in the living room UCD were unanimously the winners. It helped that the Trinity bus had already left
Also we were the only ones paddling on Sunday.
So clearly there's no question that we won.
-
and we resceued more of their freshers (which apperaently they care so much about).
-
I was told it was self rescue!!
-
it is for boys.
-
We do please to aim ;-)
