Yup sounds good

Yep interested

A few of the WIT crowd help organize this, they were asking if we are going?
I'm thinking about heading along too, depending on college work!

anyone who is interested get your entries in, they are reaching their limit.

What is the difficulty of this? I was thinking of giving it a shot

I'm in ! I've heard its ok difficulty, level 3-4 should be fine for you Catherine.
There will probably be excessive rescue available on the day.

Hi all final call for entering your name into the Colligan Gorge Games. Teams are entered in groups of 3 so if you want to form your own group post the 3 names here or email me at catherine.farmer2@mail.dcu.ie If you dont have a group formed just post your name and we'll organise something! Entrants can be entered individually so if you'd prefer to go it alone let me know. We're entering the teams on thursday at the latest so if you want to compete with DCU get your name in!

Do you have to be a student to enter on behalf of DCU or is it year of grace or can anybody associated with the club enter?

You don't have to be a student to enter on behalf of DCU! We just want to get names together asap so that we can submit the entry forms asap to reserve our places:)

If you havent entered yet, and want us to do the donkey work for you just post your name up here saying if you would like us to enter you as part of a team or individually!

I'd be up for entering in a team for the banter

right so the teams we have so far:

Alan Barrett??
Orla Croarkin
Catherine Farmer
Henry (frostie)??
Ken??
Andy??
Ger??
John Judge??

Can you all please confirm you're definitely interested and if you have a particular team already formed.

Yes

yeah

Yup - teamwise not sure, Ken mentioned something about me, him, and Judgey if Judgey is going of course.

F Y Everyone's I

"Ciaran,

Men's Sport is for novice to intermediate paddlers. Men's Expert is for the more experienced White Water kayakers.

Hope this helps,

CGG Crew."

BTW, are people planning on staying there? (Sorry I was just talking to Ken, and this is what we were chatting about!)

Just browsing hostels, and this was the cheapest I could find (Very quick search)

There's a party isn't there? It would be rude not to stay

Only just noticed that the party is Fancy dress!!

Them is Nintendo Characters:)

Fancy dress?! ah for f*cks sake! At least it's a mildly creative theme

All those going to Colligan, post up here if you want accomodation for the Saturday night! I need to know asap.....

Yes please

Yes

Myself and Aileen are heading down, booked into Portree Guesthouse on the saturday night. which is just next door to the hostel as best as I can make out.

We will be visiting relatives in the area, so can carry boats, but may not be able to bring bodies, is there enough cars heading down ?

Bodies shouldnt be a problem as we can get the bus if theres not enough cars! thanks for taking boats!

Hostels Booked!

Its going to be EPIC:D

Ok booked the hostel for the Saturday night.....but then i google maps the place!

It's going to take just under 3 hours to get there....and registrations from 8-9pm in the morning.... Do people want to stay the Friday night as well?? Let me know and i can book it:) (might be a good idea........)
