Summer programme planning meeting - Tuesday, May 5th at 20:00

Hi guys,

we're having what will probably be one of the last meetings before the Leaving Cert this coming Tuesday at 20:00. We need to pin down a plan for a summer trip, suss out who's going to Oxegen and sort some accomodation out for Edinburgh while we're at it.

Also we'll try to get dates for a few boating sessions or something. I know Ethan and Flynner were asking if we could have a BBQ or something to celebrate the end of the exams so it'd be good to sort something like that out.

Hope to see you there.

Spud.

Oxegen 2009 - Scouting Ireland Festival Crew


Hi guys, just a heads up that I got an email saying that Scouting Ireland is teaming up with the organisers of Oxegen 2009 to provide a tent pitching and repair service over the weekend of July 9th-12th. A new service they're also offering is a tent packing service on Monday July 13th.

Scouts interested in taking part must be over 18, and it'll cost them €20 for the weekend. In exchange for 6 hours of work a day you get to see a load of acts and get a free camping pass. Demand is pretty high so apply ASAP.

Also, there's going to be a tent salvage on the Monday. Basically if a scout group registers they can claim any leftover tents when the whole thing is over. I heard some 12-man Vangos got left behind last year, and seeing as we're in need of gear this could be great for us. If anyone intends on attending Oxegen (either with mates or tent pitching) let me know if you're available for the salvage. Cheers!
