I'd like to go, unless it's a hard river or I'm not good enough. I'll be real quiet. I want to paddle a bit more to get my skillz up. If you don't want the burden or if there's no room I don't mind. :(

It all depends on how much you turst, roger, lambe and matt. You need your level 3 to borrow gear according to the code of practice.

Post by: caz on January 26, 2009, 21:54:03
curses! i just remembered i have work at 5 on friday. count me out so  >:(
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: rog on January 27, 2009, 10:50:31
You don't need ur level 3 to borrow gear, i don't think anyway
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Ley-Ley on January 27, 2009, 11:00:20
So can I go? What river is it? I'll clean up after myself aswell, no foolin.

I don't have the car though. Unless we are going at 2, ha!!

Post by: fityounggranny on January 27, 2009, 11:50:28
Hey guys, i have an assignment in at 3, can we go then.

Or maybe you guys can drop all the boats to wicklow, then come back and collect me!!

Im actually finished at 10, so DIBS!
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: kmck on January 27, 2009, 12:02:30
roger code of practice states you need your level 3 to borrow gear, and that the river is appropriate to your level. Surfing is a very grey area as I think this is where you may have gotten confused.
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: rog on January 27, 2009, 12:06:09
So far we still need another driver to do a full river, at the moment it'll have to be sluice
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Lucy on January 27, 2009, 13:13:39
You can borrow gear once you get all the committee people to sign stuff. Clarkey you can do some driving right? So there...we have two cars. I'm up for trying some Sluice...never had a session at sluice.
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: kjt on January 27, 2009, 16:52:55
Clarkey is carless Juice
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Monkey Loving Bob on January 27, 2009, 17:16:52
carless or careless?
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: kjt on January 27, 2009, 17:27:20
Car-less but you decide ;)
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: rog on January 27, 2009, 17:34:59
Maybe, she's carless as a result of being careless??
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: kmck on January 27, 2009, 18:01:04
Unless you have rewritten the code of practice you can't lend gear to anyone without them having a level 3, I strongly advise you guys to read it since you have been allowed to lend gear again.

Were you ever in my car when i was in a rush??
definitely sounds like you were!
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: rog on January 28, 2009, 11:06:40
No but I was in the car while u were driving from o'neills to doyles one night, killian was turning the steering wheel left and right turning the hazards on and the likes, and u didn't seem to mind too much...
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: JODY on January 28, 2009, 11:14:06
Why the hell were you driving from O'Neills to Doyles??? Thats just pointless!

Have you walked it lately, it's like 50miles away!!!
You stand a chance of getting a little sober on the walk  ;D
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: JODY on January 28, 2009, 11:20:18
No i haven't... I haven't been in town since before Christmas... maybe they moved it since then!
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: fityounggranny on January 28, 2009, 11:47:43
Jodes, i was on my way home, just passing that way and gave 'em a lift.

Anyway
That would have been my mammys car..... i do not take risks in it.

No, i mean PROPER RUSHED, like the time i did................actually public forum, i wont admit to anything!!!

Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: JODY on January 28, 2009, 11:50:13
Ahh ... ok, its just a bit unlike you to be going home on a thursday night instead of to Doyles. I guess thats what final year does to you  :P

Post by: Douchier on January 29, 2009, 10:08:07
Hmm, is anyone up for a bit o' Sluicage a little later in the afternoon, about two maybe?

Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: kjt on January 29, 2009, 10:14:14
I may be up for sluice but it would be around 10/11
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Monkey Loving Bob on January 29, 2009, 10:24:57
It's Eng day people - no water on Eng Day!
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: finch on January 29, 2009, 10:50:33
Seconded

I'll see you at 10 in Stephan Green or around there  ;D

(Or just come to the bar after enjoying your paddling for the day - either one is good ;))
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Lucy on January 29, 2009, 12:02:40

Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: kjt on January 29, 2009, 12:07:13

Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Matt on January 29, 2009, 12:11:50

Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: rog on January 29, 2009, 12:15:45
I might have a driver... Still up for wicklow?
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Matt on January 29, 2009, 12:21:26
I dunno rog, i wouldn't mind a bit of a sluice session. I thought you wanted to try the new boat at sluice anyway??
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: rog on January 29, 2009, 12:24:32
Ah yeah i supppose ur right mat, we'll hed to sluice
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Dave B on January 29, 2009, 12:53:58
i might make it to sluice... if i fix my bike... and there's definite water, not cycling three hours for flat water!!!
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Douchier on January 29, 2009, 13:00:35
That'd be hillarious dave, watching you curse your way thorough flat-water loops.

Anyway, I think that after lunch is definataely the way to go.
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Ley-Ley on January 29, 2009, 13:12:04
Don't know if I'll be able for Sluice. Might give it a miss!!!

kieren, how sure are you about that? is it in the main body of the document or the appendices?
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: kmck on February 02, 2009, 09:01:28
Well two reasons, I was there when it was voted in and that was the agreement, now if someone wants to go to dun laorghie or sandycove I'm sure the level 2 would do, however you need your level 3 to go on the boyne and rivers like that because you follow ICU guidelines. If you put yourself in the position of assessing the level of a paddler yourself you really are opening a can of worms for yourself.
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: Monkey Loving Bob on February 02, 2009, 09:53:44

Woh, you were talking about a can of worms!!! If it isn't explicitly stated, well 'nuff said - you might get away with it by quoting ICU guidelines. Jeez, you would imagine by agreeing a minimum compulsory assessed personal proficiency level to borrow club gear you would have at least said what the bloody level was.

Edit: sorry that reads as a bit personal, that wasn't directed at you Kieran. It was more general disbelief...
Title: Re: Fantastic friday paddlin!!!
Post by: kmck on February 02, 2009, 10:04:20
Edited due to the fact it was a big rant, huge and in the end won't solve anything. Simply put if you chose to lend gear you make yourself responsible for them. If you use your governing bodies rules as your guideline you are following best practice. So if you instead make up some system its yours and yours alone. Feel free to ignore this advice and my interpretation of the code of practice. Since we adopted the code of practice, this has been the way it has been run since then.

pretty sure all the lads have there own stuff.....
