Kerry!!
Yes sirr-ee!
Here's the low down:
The houses are booked from the 28th of December to the 4th of January!
Woor wooot!
The prices are:
Staying one night â,¬25
Staying two nights â,¬50
Staying three nights â,¬70
Staying four nights â,¬90
Staying five nights â,¬110
Staying six nights â,¬130
SEVENTH NIGHT FREE
Certain committee members have said that they can't be bothered trying to remember all of that when they may have had a drink or two say money to me and me only.
If you're looking for a lift or offering one post up here (http://www.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,7990.0.html)
Written by Evan, fantastictified by Karen
Can we just go down for the 7th night ?? ::)
Also I assume that includes the club organised canoeing down there and the boats and all.............
There can be up to two organised by the committee, there can be more but remember this is a holiday for instructors as well. On those there will be an instructor rescue and relatively sober people. They will also leave at around half nine to get to the rivers. It gets dark at around 3.
is the 7th night new years eve? if its free ill be there with bells on
You might want to post up here how long you intend to be down for and when you are arriving. It makes the logistics easier, particularly with regards to picking dates for club trips so that we have maximum numbers on them. Don't forget, even if you don't make the club trips there's surfing every day.
I'll be there all week.
The what, 4th night is New Years?, and it's being charged from whenever you arrive, so if you, say, arrive on the 3rd night, you still get charged 25 for your first two, and 20 for the rest etc. Your seventh night down there will be free, not the overall seventh.
thanks for ruining my christmas karen :(
Why doesn't the glow work on my computer properly???? It was grand on Karen's earlier but on mine its just half highlighted :( To those who had posted up here (and Aengus) and find their posts missing it was so people would actually talk about Kerry.
I spent ages trying to figure out how to word that so people wouldn't be confused . :( The price is, as Karen said, for YOUR 1st/2nd/3rd night etc. The easy way to figure out how much to pay is think "How many nights will I be in Kerry for?" and then look at the price beside that number in the list above. I hope that makes it as clear as mud for everybody
So Karl if you just want to come for New Year's Eve you'll pay â,¬25. That's the cheapest New Year's party that I've ever heard of.
Just noticed a problem with that post. For people staying 7 nights you pay â,¬130.
It's not free.
I assume we all buy our own food and stuff as well - just trying to get a price so i can beg money of my parents........
Club will provide breakfast and dinner. If you're around for lunch I'd be surprised. As Trinity said:
Quote from: Trinity Ashfrom past experience your either paddling or sleeping during lunchtime anyway
Cool. No, better then cool. Very cool.
And definatly a bargain.
Very good.
Excellent in fact.
Good work!
Sounds good, might go. Do we have to go to the boat house on the 28th to pick out our boat?
Wooh Kerry!!! ;D
So i'm still a bit confused... Two club trips, any ideas when they'll be yet? I should be there for most time maybe leaving one or two days early. And whats the deal with kayaking the rest of the time? Surfing every day I hear...with club gear?! But if we were to want to go on more river trips is that possible? Presume we have to borrow gear or whatever? Oh and whats the story with gear getting down there? We have to go to the boat house and get what we want? And is the trailer bringing boats?.....think that's just about enough questions for now!! :P :D
Can't wait to go paddling again!! ;D woooooooooh!!
Oh and what's the club breakfast gonna be?!! Better hope this pork crap is all resolved so we can have lots of sausages!! :)
Oh and p.s, go Leighton....know you want to!!! ;)
don't worry, the pork restrictions are likely to be lifted in a few days. that's plenty of time to look forward to tesco value corn flakes for breakfast.
If people can start to post up the dates that they will be down as well just so that we know how many we have in the houses each night. Places are limited...
the story with gear is a bit confusing at the moment.
right now the ucd canoe club gear may only be used on official club trips.
i have been talking to the appropriate authorities about this and there is a chance that we may be allowed to let people borrow club gear in kerry. this is still just a possibility, NOT a PROBABLILITY.
if you are in kerry for the fulll time there should be atleast two river trips, this however depends on availability of instructors, water levels, flat tyres, bruised bodies, hungover drivers, disease, famine, natural disasters and any thing else that you can think of.

just new years eve for me
Question: Im not staying in club house but will need some club gear (helmet, buoyancy and blades), do I need to pay anything for them??
as things stand you will only be allowed to use them on official club kayaking trips but i dont see why you would have to pay for them.
On kerry, budget, budget and budget. If you go large on the first night decide to buy drink for the entire pub and live on a loaf of bread for the week bad choice.
1:Buy booze from aldi outside killarney, cheaper than the local offie, rob from home.
2:Get mam or dad or a stranger in the street to buy you a good multi vitamin.
3: Bring warm clothes, I know a short skirt and heels with get you more attention but you'd be suprised how cold it can get.
4: The club house is only a short stumble from the pub, learn the way and bring a torch
5: Have a few 2 euro coins in your pocket for the meter.
6: Pay your driver before you start drinking, maybe pay them for the return trip as well. Pay for the house as soon as you get there, then you will know how much cash you have.
7: Kerry is a great week, loads of fun but a little forward planning can make it even better.
I posted this on the wrong thread earlier, apologies for that.
Can I jump into a club house for the week?
Is there anyone who can bring me and my boat? To Dee's mass and then Kerry, but not necessarily back?
Who do I give the money to? Would in Kerry be too late?
Cheers
Aodhán
no, dude i jsut ment that the house sign up is here, the asking for lifts in on the other thread. you have all your bases covered no though so ....
Im going to kerry but im not staying in the club house so you will get none you hear me NONE of my money!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYY KERRY I CANT WAIT - i may even be more excited about kerry than i am about christmas!! no... wait... i am i totally am!!
Right so, I might be able to go if I can get at least 1 person to go down with me and 1 person to go back with me from the 28th to the 30th!! I.E. Go down on the the 28th and come back on the 30th, early, around 11!! I'm driving by the way!!!
I'd take the lift down but I'd like to be there for new years... If no one else takes you up on the offer it would at least mean some petrol money for yourself. Why can you only take one anyway, very small car?
alison there'd be something very wrong with you if you were looking forward to Christmas more than Kerry.

At least one man, I might be able to take three but it's a Fiesta steel, not the biggest car on the market, lol. I need someone to come back with me too though, I don't want to fall asleep half way!!!!
you'll fall asleep whether there's anyone in the car or not.
at least if you're alone, you don't have to watch people sleeping peacefully in your car and then waking up at the McDonald's in Roscrea and saying they're tired.
my fresher Kerry I had to drive home in the dark in prescription sunglasses. that was horrible...
Lol, prescription sunglasses, nice!!!
Leighton stop getting distracted. Your mission is to find someone who will be going home from Kerry on the 30th. You already have the space down filled so thats have the job already done for you by Jer
I'm not quite sure exact dates yet...but will head down either the 28th or the 29th and will be leaving on the 2nd probably, or maybe the third....
So the days there aren't river trips we can use club gear to go surfing?!
And is the trailer bringing gear down?....or do we collect it or what's the dealio?
We are trying to organise a trailer down at the moment, which will bring club boats and some gear. As always, bring lots of fleeces and thermals and warm gear yourself, you are there for the week and it's new years, so not the warmest.
Any idea what dates the club paddling will be on ?? Or will it be sorted once we get down ??
If kerry had a santa we could just get rid of Chirstmas, it's only in the way really.
I won't be in any club house but will be there for river trips :)
Am i drunk yet?
OK.....Third time lucky! :P
Can we go surfing every day in club gear?! ;D
Oh and thanks for all the other answers guys!!

:P
You can always borrow stuff, there's bound to be someone too tired or hungover to paddle who might not mind lending their boat.

I know you guys mix up me and Aisling's names sometimes face-to-face... but how do ya do it on this? :P
Leighton, if you're driving, I'll take a lift. I'll probably have to come back on the 30th anyway, so that'd suit me.
I'll keep you awake with ghost stories, or singing or shouting or something. In fact, you might never sleep again...
do what I did my fresher year. get drunk, say loads of twisted shit in a game of never have I ever, and then your passengers will be afraid to sleep on the way home! and once they're awake, it's easy for the driver to stay awake.
If you are sure you'll be coming back on the 30th then that suits me!
its really great that we're all very experienced at making up damn good excuses for getting "stranded" at canoe club things ;D ;D
I'm a good boy, I don't lie!
excuses are not lies - they're white lies - we would never let you tell your family/friends that you just dont like them as much as you love the club that would be mean!! a little white lie here and there saves a lot of hurt!!
dont worry we'll take care of it ;)
I have a feeling that your car keys might go missing on some drunken night........ ::)
Ok, I know this is a bit of a long shot, but would anyone be driving back to Dublin on the 1st?

Dang you peepulz! Yous getta go!
I'm sick of you Mark, your always coming up into my shit and dissing me, well no more chump, no more.
On another note, I rolled twice today!!! And I only swam properly once!! Woo, I don't need any of you anymore, I'm setting my own club up. The T-Canyon Club for aficionados.
I'll be going to Kerry Leighton, don't worry, I might take that lift back on the 30th if it's still going.
Yea man, should be ok!
Epic work guys ;D 8)
Really enjoyed the week - thanks to all the committee for organising it and for aengus and matt for the lifts up and down
Only pity was the lack of rain but nothing you can do about the weather - thanks again guys
Yeah, have to agree there alright!! I t was amazing!!! Sooooooooo much fun!! ;D
And screw the lack of rain, that's no excuse!! All you needed to do was go to finnanas bay....... Ridiculously good surf!! ;)
But yeah thanks a million for everything! Lived up to the hype and then some!! Oh and hate to have left on the 30th! :P ;D
PS. Anyone by anychance find an i pod touch?! :-\
good hussle guys!!! one of my favourite kerry's yet.... close contender for my best me thinks! Although my first year kerry was pretty epic.... hmmmm! Just cant decide!!
xxxx
I agree, great week folks!
I've ended up with a whole heap of stuff thats not mine from our houses.
If anyone is missing anything i probably have it, will know better when i get a chance to empty the car.
Who'da thunk Kerry without rain could be sooo much fun! Definitely a contender for Best Kerry Ever!!
Sara
A very merry Kerry was it Ms. Hayden (raises an eyebrow suggestively)
Freakin awesome week, my body was crying out for mercy by the second day but thankfully someone knocked me straight off the wagon and back in to fun again (thanks Diarmaid, I guess)
Kudos and jock like ass slapping all round...
Just out of curiostity, did anyone pick up the mounds of craps I left in the club house? It really would be safe to assume anything left behind is mine.... I'm not a vert good 10 minute packer...
I think all that stuff got picked up by niall
Kyle had a load of stuff from the club houses, i'd imagine he dumped it at the boathouse with Niall
Great Week Guys! My best kerry so far. Our house Rocked!! And the lack of rain was not an issue, i still went surfing lots!
As seems to happen everytime i go on a trip away, i've ended up with a loads of different socks that aren't mine.

Thats a lie, I will, but i'll keep it to myself.
hahahahahaha.
no, no actually. I won't.
:-*
mmm....
Did anyone perchance pick up my wallet and keys? I was hoping they would materialise during the cleanup....
I took a load of stuff from the club houses and dumped it at the boathouse.
Great Kerry guys!! Good hustle!
Dear Becca,
Are you just jealous about not getting a 'jock' like slap from Kylie?
Kindest Regards,
Tom
yeah...but we all are.
right?
Tom will get one in due course, he has no need for jealousy and he knows it.
