Hello everybody!
Happy Christmas!
And very soon...MERRY KERRY!
Just in case anyone was wondering how boats and gear were getting to Kerry, they'll be hitching a ride on the trailer so no need to worry!

GAME PLAN:
- meeting in UCD at the boathouse
- at 13:00 on the 27th
- throw gear in boats and lash them on the trailer
- listen to cheerful (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrAwK9juhhY) Christmassy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ymlnxMZkXA) music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1zWafQF1hc), so you could say it's a party* :)
If you need gear (helmet, BA, cag, wetsuit, boat, paddles) in Kerry please attend and help out getting them packed :)
If you live across a glacier (http://www.pentax.com.au/pentax/albums/Optio%20S%20Series/slides/Snowed%20in%20House.jpg) from UCD or your house (http://www.ferntree.ch/blog/images/20101124225532_snowed_in.jpg) or method of transport (http://media.dorks.com/content/pic/olddorks/Snowed-In-Car.jpg) is buried under more than two meters of snow please post up here or on the facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=155485937832389) and let me know what you need.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE
The weather is cold (http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/realtime/2010356/crefl1_143.A2010356112000-2010356112500.250m.jpg), being outside is cold (http://image59.webshots.com/159/2/67/1/2931267010095463846xdBOGW_fs.jpg), being wet outside (http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01789/russia-man_1789369i.jpg) is super (http://www.enter.net/~skimmer/images/colorgas.jpg) cold (http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01553/brockwell-woman_1553352i.jpg), so please make sure you bring plenty of warm things!
Not just hoodies and fluffy socks for lounging around the clubhouse, but fleeces (http://www.ubpinc.com/ubp5/images/8197Fleece.jpg), wetsuits (http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u38/mconridge/All-1.jpg), more fleeces (http://www.northcoastpets.com/pics/pics_on_site/muttopia_fleece.jpg), shoes, fleecy hats (http://kidcrave.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/dino_fleece_hat.jpg), fleecy gloves (http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00BvtEQekaahcN/Polar-Fleece-Gloves-SEF-9017-.jpg) and all other things conceivable under the banner "thermals" (http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/22001188/Images/2/thermals.gif).
If there's paddling to be had down there (http://ekstremsportveko.smugmug.com/photos/571674041_Yhp4a-M.jpg) we're going to go for it!
Kerry won't be warm, so you have to be!
See you all soon!

*but you'd be overstating it just a bit.
NOTICE:
Due to finite trailer space and the impressively large group of freshers comin' on down to Kerry, we can't fit everyone's boat on the trailer. To help logistically, if you own your own boat and are getting a lift, ask the driver if they can take your boat first. If you're driving and have a free spot on your roof that could be filled, let me know. Thank you!
