I'm probably going to head to sluice early on Saturday for a freestyle session.
I've space for 3 more in the car if anyone's interested I'll only be going to sluice then heading around 1 as I'm off to Barcelona after.:-)

I mite be able to go but if I say yes now can I still pull out later in the week if I can't make it?

If you have to pull out then you have to pull out, but make sure to let us know.
I'm assuming that since you're signing up it's unlikely that you'll pull out?

There are three trainees this week, so you have the option of taking a group each (1 x L2, 2 x L3)
Read over the L2 and L3 syllabi to prepare and as (trainee) instructors be prepared to take a proactive role in organising rescue, prioritising using 2nd and 1st years.

I'll be available to consult about rescue and will go where I'm told, however I plan on being ruined from playboating

When would you be arriving at sluice? And are you going from UCD?

Yeah I'm not working! Ill be there!

Just to clarify: do you want to work on L3 skills or would you prefer to rescue?
We could put you in a group where you could do both fo course.

Briain · February 28, 2013, 08:29:55

Whichever really. I think I'm ok for level 3 stuff!

Steven Mul · February 28, 2013, 09:21:39

On which river do we plan on holding the actual level 3 assessments? Is the liffey classed grade 2 or do we need to go to wicklow?

QuoteWhen would you be arriving at sluice? And are you going from UCD?

I can come down and collect anyone from the boathouse. Plan on getting to sluice for 10:30-11:00.
So would be at the boathouse for 10 quickly tie up boats and leave at 10:15 no faffage, no waiting for anyone who's late. Though I will need directions to the boathouse as the last time I was at a boathouse it was in the services yard.

Laters,

Stephen

Ye it's unlikely that I'll pukll out just checking that it's ok

Scabidas · February 28, 2013, 09:42:53

I assume we're going to Liffey this Saturday seeing as some people are going to sluice before hand yes ?

kmck · February 28, 2013, 10:13:18

Driving might go into sluice this time and fall over.

The assessments will be on grade two water, so the Liffey or the Boyne most likely.

I actually just assumed that without asking...we should have a definite answer by this evening.
