Club BBQ

The club BBQ went ahead on Sunday the 20th of september at the boathouse. Cyril Jinks, formerly a member of the original kayak club in Sligo (and a damn fine cook) was contracted in. Thanks for the feed Cyril! The weather was chilly enough, but thankfully stayed dry. If anyone has some pics of the event, please email them to me. I was too busy eating to take any.

We also had a chance to show off the new Sligo Kayak Club clothing (as modelled below by our fine modelling talent....and me). Hoodies, polo shirts and t-shirts will be available. The main order is in with the printers and should be ready for sale within a week or so.

Lough Key Triathlon (6th Sept)

Sligo Kayak Club braved the elements and horrible earliness of the hour on Sunday the 6th of September to provide safety and support boating at the Lough Key Triathlon. It was a large event with about 300 participants. Our contribution to the event was small but important, and ended quite quickly. So after (free!) tea and muffin time we went whitewater boating on the Boyle. We made some new paddling friends, and met up with some old ones too. Namely Kevin Currid and his gang from Lough Allen Adventure Centre.
Well done to Alice Reynolds for her work in organising the water safety, and a mega big thanks to Susanne, Gunner, Caroline, Micheal, Shirley, Sean and Seamus for coming out under such tough conditions and doing the job.
