Paddling on the 21st/22nd/23rd

[kjt]

What a better way to celebrate your exams... Head down about 12 and go for a fun awl paddle.

I'm also thinking of heading out the sat or sun (OR BOTH). Possibly the Boyne as it's been a while.

Anybody interested?


P.s my cars full for the Friday 21st trip

just as a reminder and for those who did not know. it is club policy not to loan gear to anyone who does not have their level 3 proficiency. this is a long standing policy put in place for safety reasons.

[Canuala]

cian i swear u only started posting that as soon as u gt ur level 3...ooh-ooh-ooh! controversial!

[Simon R.]

or since he bought his boat!! nice one nuala......snap cian!! long standing my ass we invented that last year!

[Diarmaid]

yeah but the level 3 is a myth too. I spent 2 years of my life looking for it, and nary a ghost of a whiff of it to be found anywhere.

yeh it was made up last year and cause a hugeee debate. as far as i can remeber if u have an instructor with u its ok. no??

That's me: sheding a tear for the future of the club.

no its not ok. it must be an organised club trip where we have agreed with the instructors before hand that they are instructing for UCD canoe club. Its not ok to go paddling with a friend who is an instructor and use club gear if you dont have your level 3. its really important that people realise this! paddling can be a dangerous sport if you dont know what you are doing and it is the clubs responsibilty to make sure that our gear is used safely, and thats why you have to have your level 3 before you borrow our gear to go without the club.

thats always been the way and it isnt a matter open to discussion,people will always complain but if you are serious enough about your paddling to complain, get your level 3! then you dont have to listen to the committee bitch at you when you want to yoink club gear(thats what i did!)

jevon-if you want to get paddling before uganda give killian a call-i know he wants to go out on saturday. If you really wanna get out-you gotta harass people to take you out..............GO!
