What time would we doing this? Have you guys contacted local papers? If you can get it into an issue you might get more volunteers. Also have you tried UCD's green party some of them do like to be green. Also might be woth contacting the school of biology and environmental studies as they might want to volunteer some people.

What time are we meeting, and is it boathouse or at the Clonskeagh house?

Matt · March 18, 2010, 18:12:05

Ok guys, just a few things before the clean up this Sunday...

Meet at Clonskeagh Bridge at 11am. From there we'll split people up to tidy different parts of the river.

Also, I'll need a few people to come to the boathouse for about 10, just to bring down some things to the site.

WEAR GLOVES!!! Bring some rubber gloves or something and wear them while you are cleaning.

We have been provided with bin bags to collect everything in, and I will be talking to the council tomorrow about collecting the rubbish at the end of the day.

Bring a camera to take loadsa pretty pictures!!

Hope to see you all on Sunday. Thanks very much in advance for everyone who comes out and gives a hand, any and all help is much appreciated.

Matt

FUCK! I've got to work this sunday. I was really looking forward to helping out with this. Sorry folks

We might need one or two people on the water for stuff that's hard to reach fro the bank, but I don't think everyone will need gear.

Hey guys, just as a thank you for all those who help out tomorrow, the clonskeagh house, right beside the polo pitch on the dodder is serving finger food for us tomorrow whenever we finish the clean up, so as soon as we finish the clean up, everyone meet inside the clonskeagh house for some free food
