Hi all,
The Winter Training Camp can now be booked online via the website (in the Member Zone as with swim sessions). There seems to be a lot of interest so book early to avoid disappointment..
Joe

Hi Chris and all, Sorry for the delay in posting, we had some issue with the venue double booking and had to find an alternative. After a bit of a panic we have secured TCD. I will confirm final agenda and timeline tomorrow, we will wait to see the forecast to make a call on the cycle. In the meantime I am looking for some volunteers etc for the camp: 1/ someone to collect Tanja from the airport at 9:30 Saturday morning 2/ someone to drop Tanja to airport on Sunday evening 3/ a projector 4/ a screen If someone could help with any of that it would be great. I would like to thank Laura publicly for providing accommodation for Tanja. I will post up again tomorrow, Frank

Hi frank, sorry you are having hassle. My parents always wanted me to go to trinity - they'll be delighted . I don't have access to a car to collect or return Tanya but I'm happy to chip in for a taxi for her if no one can. I'll ask in work tomorrow if I can secure a projector, I won't be able to get a screen as they are all attached to the ceilings not portable. Cheers Chris

Frank,
I should be able to get my hands on a projector and a screen! I'll confirm later this evening but most likely.
Will Tanja have her own laptop with her?
Arron

Chris, Eilish, Aaron and Andrew, Thanks all for you your offers. Andrew unless someone Northside steps forward could you collect Tanja, I will get on directly to you about the collection details. Eilish if you could drop her back that would be great. She will not have bike. Considering the weather we are having we are knocking the bike on the head. Chris/Arron whichever is easier to bring the projector. There will be no need for a screed the venue have confirmed that it can successfully go against the wall.
If anyone else wants to bring some baked treats for the break Andrew is assured to be grateful!

Hello All,
There have been a frantic few days finalising the logistics for the weekend but I can now confirm the plan as:
Saturday 8.00-9.00 Marian College Pool, Ballsbridge - we will film everyone here so have your best waterproof make-up on! Then we move to Trinity College Dublin. 10.00am - 12.00pm Hall 12-1 Lunch 1.00pm - 3.00pm Pool 3.15 - 4.30pm Hall
Dinner - is there an interest in getting dinner out on Saturday night, please let me know and I will book somewhere like Marios in Terenure?
Sunday (all day Trinity) 10.00am to 11am Pool 11.15-1.15 Hall 1.15-2 Lunch 2.- 3.30pm Pool 3.30-5 Ginger Man pub for a discussion and Q&A afterwards.
Gear: bring 2 x swim gear (unless you want to get back into wet togs). Bring Fins if you have them. If it is dry we may run outside but for the most part we will be inside. Bring packed lunch/snacks, alternatively you will have time to pop to a local deli/sandwich shop. You might want to bring a note pad and pen to make any notes. If you also bring a USB memory stick Tanja should be able to save your swim to it. There will be no biking so no need for bike gear.
I look froward to seeing you all there. Please post up if you have any questions. Regards, Frank

An additional note on the above regarding transport. Despite a plethora of free parking spaces in the college on the weekend, the sports centre cannot provide parking on campus. You can chance your arm getting through lincoln gate security but it's unlikely you'll get in and if you don't get a permit for the day you may be clamped! Can I suggest people car pool and find on street parking back towards erne st where some parking is Mon-fri pay and display. There is some parking closer on Boyne and Cumberland st but much of this is Mon-Sat so please check when parking on Sat!!
Also a word of warning not to ride your best bike in to tcd, there are bike racks which are cctv monitored outside the sports centre but bike theft is still rife so please no dogmas, tarmacs, shivs etc!! Make sure you have a good lock/cable ideally for both wheels.
I do have access to a swipe only bike cage near the front square so I can meet people there a bit early if they wish to avail of it. Please let me know at the pool at Marian in the morning. My number is 0866062983.
The sports centre is in the north east corner of the campus and there is pedestrian access from pearse st.
