Title: Saturday 26th March
Post by: Matt on March 22, 2011, 14:10:02
Howdy folks,

I hope ye all enjoyed the break. This Saturday we'll be heading back to the river again. It looks like we'll probably be heading to either the Boyne or the Liffey. Woooooooo0000oooooo!!! ;D

You know the drill - sign up here if you wanna come on the trip. Meeting at the boathouse at 10.

Also, we're looking for drivers to come out this Saturday - we wanna see if we can run the trip minus a bus. If anyone with a car and roofracks is around on Saturday and wants to come out for the day, please post up.

If you want to come on the trip this weekend, please try post up before Thursday night to guarantee a spot on the trip. Anyone who signs up after Thursday, there may not be a space for you.

Cheers 8)

Matt

Have you tried rewriting it in Account Settings?
Or changing to "EnteHuehnchen" or even better, "EnteHoohnchen"!

Hey Rachel.

If you have any watersports gear like a wetsuit boots, etc bring them. Bring some thermals too although you shouldn't need too many!! A change of clothes and a towel is good too!!

If you don't have booties, bring an old pair of runners instead! 10 euro for the bus too and that's it!

Would love to see some of the videos that we talked about on the bus. Some screaming girl in a tandem kayak on Grade "2" water was one of them I think, might have been a few others... Something about Cherry and some guy downing a bottle of beer springs to mind as well.
