Title: Fresher's Weekend!!! October 9th-11th
Post by: Eoghan on September 30, 2009, 17:36:49
FRESHERS WEEKEND!!!!!!!

I'm fairly sure that most you, by now, will have heard of this EPIC weekend of fun, frolics, kayaking and drinking.
 
So here's some of the facts:
 
 
COST? 50 yoyo's
 
 
WHAT DOES PRICE INCLUDE? accomodation, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, Dinner on Saturday evening, lots of legendary club hooch on Saturday night, all the transportation, kayaking gear, fully ICU certified instructors
 
 
WHERE? We are heading off to Kells in Meath!! WOOP WOOP!!!
 
 
WHEN? We will be meeting at the bar in UCD (probably Student Bar) at about 5pm on Friday the 9th of October & getting back sometime in the evening of Sunday 11th
 
 
IMPORTANT: FANCY DRESS!!!  On the Saturday night there will be a fancy dress party!!!! There's no theme but everyone is expected to bring something fancy dress-ish!!! If any of the girls need any help thinking of costumes i'd be more than happy to lend some suggestions 
 
 
WHAT TO BRING:  Booze, Sleeping bag, warm clothes, layers for under your wet gear, costume, some food for your lunch,  some money for more booze , your party hat and anything else that you would usually plan on bringing to a weekend away! (not the kitchen sink!)
 
 
SIGN UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS PLACES WILL BE LIMITED
 
 
HOW TO SIGN UP: Talk to Finch(the Treasurer), and only Finch, for getting on this trip of a lifetime! He will be at the Pool session on Thursday and Lucan on Saturday. If you want to come and can't make it to either of these trips you can post up here about how you can get the money to him or get his details on the committee page of this site.

You need to stress the costume more Eoghan, I don't think these freshers know what they're getting themselves into.

Don't know if I'll be going or not, I'll see how I'm feeling coming up to the event, which means that if there's a costume involved, it will almost certainly include a lot of cardboard and duct tape.
Title: Re: Fresher's Weekend!!! October 9th-11th

Yea guys, fancy dress is essential!!

No more vooooom rah rah from me, I think I got it out of my system.

Post by: kmck on September 30, 2009, 21:23:20
I can only remember one theme for freshers, when we stayed in a castle. The theme was medieval. So one theme in ten years, for ideas look at some past pictures if the gallery is working.

It's the yellow statue beside the HE stairs in the Arts block. Our club notice board used to be there, but it was moved during the summer. We still use that spot to meet up though.

Also: WOOOOOO! FRESHER'S WEEKEND!

Just to remind everyone that if you come down with flu like symptoms within the next two weeks, go to your doctor and let them that you were out kayaking in a river. It would most likely just be the flu but just to be safe!!
