UCD Canoe Club

This Friday
15:00 - meet at the boathouse to pick your weapon (fancy boat, warm, waterproof gear)
17:00 - rally in the forum bar
18:00 - embark from the boathouse
Sunday - victorious return to Dublin!

Other concerns
* the trip costs €50 (two nights accommodation, two breakfasts, one dinner, gear, instructors)
* bring warm clothes (it's a bit chilly these days) hats, scarves, hoodies for day wear
* fleeces, wetsuits tights and thermals for paddling time, wimpy "I'm cold" faces will not be tolerated
* fancy dress: the theme is the letter L (very important costumes must be exeLLent, Trinity cannot out-L us)
* nightwear, well, that's up to you 

Post your name up if you want to come, and please cross our mythical Midas (Finch)'s palm with orange (€50) ASAP!

You'd be safer heading to pennies and picking up a fleece or two, they are pretty cheap there.

a fiver to be precise

Really? Not €4.99?

All I'm gonna say is onesie, that is all.

Dunnes stores and pennys do termals! Better than running the risk of getting a nasty skin disease from older members of the club, they are paddlers after all and their termals can sometimes come with biohazard warnings. These are not bad termals, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between them and helli hanson ones I have as well. So for around €20 euro you'll have a set for yourself that you can use paddling, hiking or even just to keep you warm on a cold day.
From personal experience people may not forget about the cag they borrowed but sometimes forget about termals, I've lost over four sets of cheap termals and two sets of not so cheap over the years especially at freshers and colours.
It may seem as we have a fetish for tights by the amount of time we mention them as cheap alternative to termals, they do the job really cheaply. Work well under a wetsuit especially on day two when it is wet and cold. They can be cut to make a top or if your feeling really stylish as a skull cap as diarmaid use to do.

Ok... Dumb question, but what's a fleece? -fashion illiterate-

(http://www.northcoastpets.com/pics/pics_on_site/muttopia_fleece.jpg)

That's a fleece. I don't know what they are made up of but they look like that but human size.

Anything that's not cotton that keeps you warm. I'm sure you have a fleece, everyone has a fleece even if they don't know what it is.

i have a onesie!!! afro.gif

If you have a onesy, bring it to lahinch!!! As it says in the topic title "This is not a drill!!"

Hey guys,

We've got ourselves a bigger bus for the weekend so there's still loads of space left if you haven't got your money to Finch already.

It's shaping up to be a good weekend! Latest surf forecast has a swell of around 2m - lovely for freshers - on Saturday, with the winds dropping for us around mid-day, and sun expected, though this could change.

Ok, I'll drop by Pennies tomorrow and see if I can find some... Though I doubt I have any, and if I did, I definitely didn't bring them with me.


Would bringing my laptop be a bad idea? I don't really want to print out all the stuff I need to study (Hilton and his 411 slides *headdesk*) but I need to get something done.

wub, wub Jonathan Faull will be there

Study, ahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahaha. Don't bring a laptop, print out 4 slides, you might get to glance over them.

I'd print out a lecture or two, avoid bringing valuables - they might get lost.

definately dont bring your laptop, and to be honest you really wont get a chance to study its not worth spending money printing

WOO CANT WAIT! about to leave my house, costume idea sorted! SEE YOU THERE!

you might get some work done on the bus home...but don't bring the laptop...unless its a party laptop!!  afro.gif

will ya put me down if its not too late ;D

Your laptop will be eaten.

Be good lads and have a ball!

Yeah, hope everyone has an amazing time!!!  ;D :D

Wish I could be there... so you better have extra fun for me!!!
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Awesome weekend guys!!! really really good, well done to everyone

brilliant time!!!!!

If you judge a weekend by how much everything hurts afterwards, this was a good one.

Good hussle guys 8)

Well, there's no real rain due this week, and the rivers in Wicklow are hardly honking at the moment, so we'll see..........

And Rog, bring it on

In that case I will make my own wicklow with hookers, booze and blackjack!

Fairly sure there was shit loads of rain in wicklow last night.

I'll prepare the hobbling post.
