Title: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Tiny Tim on March 03, 2011, 18:10:05
Thats right guys its level 3 training!!!

I texted people earlier but ill post here too.
So who would fancy doing some level 3 training over the break? It would be a two day course but what days would suit you? If you could shout some days at me before saturday evening, so i could get to work at making it happen, that would be great.
Post hear or give me a shout if youve a problem or queries,
Dave 0876612534.

Based on the dates that have been ruled out in this thread, the possible days are:

FRI SAT MON TUE THU FRI
11  12   14    15   17   18

The 17th is Paddy's day, so that might have plans made already.
Other than that, everyone in the thread said they were free the other days, so whichever suits yourself Dave.
Nick Prendergast said he was interested too - I think he's in Madrid on a class trip at the moment though.
Hope that's helpful!

I could provide a bit of rescue if it was needed? Or moral support.

MON TUE THU FRI
14    15   17   18

Kieran McKevitt is running a flatwater session on Saturday, it seems to overlap with a lot of the people interested here.
That leaves four days in the break.

The ICU had a L3 training course on this weekend that got cancelled due to lack of interest, if you guys are keen and (very) quick and the 7/8 of you rang up, you might be able to get that?
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Maryanne on March 11, 2011, 16:46:39
Just rang them, they said they need
-minimum of 6 people
-the cost (for 2 days) is €140

Dunno if that's any help, it's fairly late notice, I was on the phone to them anyway and enquired.
It's possible that if we organised one in advance we'd get a better rate. And you may have made other plans!

Post by: Livia on March 11, 2011, 17:16:30
Quite last minute, but I would join but it crashes with Kieran's rescue training.

Though I would be in for some other time! :)
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Eoghan on March 11, 2011, 17:30:49
I imagine daves training will be quite cheaper than that...but if anyone is very keen the instruction will be very good...
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Maryanne on March 11, 2011, 17:50:02
Yeah, looks like Kieran's training is the way to go! €140 is steep, and you need 6 people, so go Kieran! I tried to text/ring anyone who posted here to tell them about Kieran's, my phone's being weird though... If anyone has Micheal's number, I couldn't get through to him.
Have fun tomorrow guys!

Sorry I kinda let this slide a bit during the week. If you guys wanna do an ICU course thats fine too, i dont mind.

If you wanna do it with me however, monday and friday suit me or wednesday aswell.

What do you guys think?
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Livia on March 12, 2011, 20:59:39
Monday or Wednesday, because apparently Tuesday I might have team meeting... and then it depends on the time.  If it would work I would also like to join at least for one day :)
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: micheal h on March 12, 2011, 21:22:16
Monday and Friday would be good but I have a dentist appointment in Navan on Wednesday so I wouldn't be able to make it that day.
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Maryanne on March 12, 2011, 21:28:52
Cool, so based on the dates everyone has said that's

Monday 14th: Dave, Livia, Micheál, Jon ... confirmed
                      Rachel, Gareth, Leighton (rescue)

Friday 18th: Dave, Livia, Micheál, Jon ... confirmed
                    Rachel, Gareth, Leighton (rescue)

so if the people who are interested confirm if they're still free we'll let democracy decide!

I'm not free on Monday (a friend of mine is having her first art exhibition!) and I have a 20% presentation, 6% midterm and 10% assignment the first week back, ( :o  :-[  :blank: ) so I won't be able to help out with rescue on Friday either.

Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....

Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Carla! on March 13, 2011, 12:14:54

Post by: Ley-Ley on March 13, 2011, 12:26:54

Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Gareth on March 13, 2011, 12:31:07
I wouldnt be able to do Monday, Friday would be best for me
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: finch on March 13, 2011, 15:50:26
I can do rescue on monday if needed
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Eoghan on March 13, 2011, 15:52:40
what would be the times on monday??

I'll be off skiing on friday  8)
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Maryanne on March 13, 2011, 18:16:41
MONDAY: Dave, Livia, Micheál, Jon, Carla, Finch(R), Eoghan(R)*
FRIDAY:   Dave, Livia, Micheál, Jon, Carla, Gareth, Leighton(R)

*depending what time

Both day's safety ratios are pretty sweet!
Based on the number of trainees who'd be attending, Friday wins 5-4.
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Rachel on March 13, 2011, 20:21:49
I can do either or both i guess

But if we're just picking one day I'd prefer friday
Title: Re: training for that level... you know the one after 2 but before 4.....
Post by: Tiny Tim on March 13, 2011, 20:32:54
Ideally a level 3 course would be 2 days so if i can get cars well do tomorrow and friday. If not lets go for friday and ill sort out a second day.

So if u can drive and would like to come along post up.

I'd like to do the L3 training, but I got no car  :(

Alrighty gang were good to go for friday!!! Meet at the boathouse at 10. With the fact that youve done so much of the safety and rescue stuff with Keiran well be able to keep it to just one day. If you could just bring a few quid for petrol for the guys driving thatd be great.
