Hi all
The trip will be from lucan down to the I,C.U center and will be looking for a donation to help Liam Emery who is still in hospital after the Liffey Decent
What I also hope to do is organize the largest raft to go over lucan wear . A €5 charge to do this and set a new raft record
All Money goes to the above
IT will be a 12 o clock start to allow for the night before and to the Straw hall afterwards for a pint (or two) . The Straw Hall can provide a shuttle bus service to Lucan or Chapelizod to a taxi rank for those who want to have a drink. (Free)
Cheers Niall

More than a head cam. I think it would be a good idea to get the news people involved. Maybe even get some sponsorship and raise even more money.

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
• Prize donated by Lucan Motorcycles for Best attended Club
So come on out and support a fellow paddler on what promises to be a fun day out.
Further information from Niall Power (087 9081732) or Conor Ryan (087 2263432)

Hi all
Great turnout on Sunday thanks to all.
You will be happy to here that over 2200 euro was raised.
The final raft had 34 people in it but did break on the way down
22 or 24 did make it successfully which is the record?
Hope to have some photos tomorrow
Thanks again
Niall
