Pre-Christmas River Trip
On Sunday the 14th December Rockhoppers Canoe Club and LIR Canoe Club invites all paddlers to join them on a river trip on the Liffey from Lucan down to the ICU Training Centre. This trip is being organised in association with the Liffey Centre Kayak Club. At Lucan weir a competition will be run to set a new record for the largest kayak raft over the weir.
The trip will be suitable for any Level 2 paddler. The Training Centre can supply some boats and gear if necessary.
The trip will be starting at 12 o clock (noon) at the Training Centre to allow for anyone out partying on the night before. The trip will be followed by a raffle and a pint (maybe) in the Straw Hall. The Straw Hall can provide a free shuttle bus service to Lucan or Chapelizod to a taxi rank for those who want to have a drink.
Each participant will be asked for a €20* donation to go to the fund for Liam Emery from Donegal Canoe Club who became ill during the Liffey Descent and is still recovering in hospital.
* €10 for Students & OAPs
Prizes will include
• €250 Voucher donated by Canoe Union
• Hamper donated by the Irish Dairy Board
• Outdoor Jackets donated by Great Outdoors
• Canoeing Gear donated by I– Canoe

So come on out and support a fellow paddler on what promises to be a fun day out.
