Trailer packing for Kerry!

[Maryanne]

Hello everybody!
Happy Christmas!
And very soon...MERRY KERRY!

Just in case anyone was wondering how boats and gear were getting to Kerry, they'll be hitching a ride on the trailer so no need to worry!

Just in case anyone was wondering how boats and gear were getting on the trailer, they need your help!

GAME PLAN:
- meeting in UCD at the boathouse
- at 13:00 on the 27th
- throw gear in boats and lash them on the trailer
- listen to cheerful Christmassy music, so you could say it's a party*

If you need gear (helmet, BA, cag, wetsuit, boat, paddles) in Kerry please attend and help out getting them packed

If you live across a glacier from UCD or your house or method of transport is buried under more than two meters of snow please post up here or on the facebook page and let me know what you need.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE
The weather is cold, being outside is cold, being wet outside is super cold, so please make sure you bring plenty of warm things!
Not just hoodies and fluffy socks for lounging around the clubhouse, but fleeces, wetsuits, more fleeces, shoes, fleecy hats, fleecy gloves and all other things conceivable under the banner "thermals".
If there's paddling to be had down there we're going to go for it!
Kerry won't be warm, so you have to be!

See you all soon!

*but you'd be overstating it just a bit.

NOTICE:
Due to finite trailer space and the impressively large group of freshers comin' on down to Kerry, we can't fit everyone's boat on the trailer. To help logistically, if you own your own boat and are getting a lift, ask the driver if they can take your boat first. If you're driving and have a free spot on your roof that could be filled, let me know. Thank you!

hi,

I might not be able to make it up for this unless the snow melts pretty soon after Christmas so if someone could  be super cool and pack all my stuff for me that would be great i.e. helmet, BA , cag , wetsuit (size large), boat, paddles. Drinks will be provided for whoever packs for me oh and the nicer the gear the more drinks that will be bought. so cheers and  Happy Christmas!

Roger that Micheal, I'm knitting a bobbly hat to go on your helmet right now*...

*Lies, but I'll sort you out

[Karen]

Woot Kerry!

[kmck]

Bring stuff you wear when the stuff falls from the sky but isn't white and fluffy. In other words look at the weather forcast on monday and make a plan then.

[rog]

Might drop alone and put my brand new(ly repaired) nomad on the aul trailer.

[Eoghan]

look at the weather forcast on monday and make a plan then.

if that were the case i'd probably end up just putting shorts and t-shirt in the bag! met eireann don't have a clue!!

I'll hopefully be able to drop in too but at the moment snow is being a bitch...

I can't make it to trailer packing, as im in kerry (waiting outside in the cold of glenbeight to see someone i know)
but i need, you know, the stuf for canoeing....i did get my own wetsuit boars though  .

(also i'm not in glenbeight, i'm the opposite end of kerry so its not that easy, especially if buses dont run)

[kmck]

They haven't been that bad about a 80% accuracy out to 36 hours which isn't that bad. It could be wet or it could be cold and wet or it could be just cold. This maybe a sign that I have too much gear to choose from, I love jobs that let you keep the equipment.

[Jer]

I might be late/not able to make it. Could someone throw the wank tank on the trailer please? Thanks!
