But the gear used by them might not be ;-) We'll need to know in advance if there will be and whose gear they will be using, but there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

ya most non-club climbers will probably have their own gear anyway? so an informal invite-all type thing you reckon? i can't seem to get a discussion going on our forum on it so hoping the emailing method will catch on (next week i'll be back at the wall and be mentioning it round then too). But last week/weekend in june sounds good (it'll probably be weekend for me too).. it's good to have a date anyway to be thinking about, makes it more definite whoo!

a quick text to a few of your climbing friends around there is all you'd need really, five or six from each.. if you have 5 clubs thats 25 people like and thats a grand sized group.. each having a bit of gear can mean some of the guys leading an E3 or whatever can even afford to leave it as a top rope for people who would like to give it a lash.
So the Burren, June 24th to 29th? does that seem good? I'm not gonna kill myself now doing this so if anyone would rather set part of it up feel free. I will just extend the invitation when i have set dates and such. i wont organise hostels, guide books or gear that can be up to yerselves.. If i make it, i will obviously pitch in with the craic, the climbing and a few other bits and pieces.
Has anyone got contacts in other collleges?

An obvious thing to do to overcome the issue of communication between multiple clubs would be to set up a facebook page specifically for this.
woodsy: Is there a reason your dates go from Saturday to Thursday?

No reason but I know in my own case that i cant do anything but the weekend and that there might be a few more people the same.. If you wanna suggest something else do of course and that maybe people wont be able to hand over that much time. Possibly including the two weekends wouldnt be bad but i dunno what people would think..
I often find that word of mouth can always help but the more mediums we use the better

sorry been bad for keeping up, thesis calls at mo
how about just doing a long weekend of it (maybe thurs/fri to sun - 24/25th to 27th) to see how it goes, if successful it could be done again next year and extended?
anyone into kayaking? reckon it could something like kayak kerry trip, everyone goes down on their own bat as groups of friends and borrow gear from own club for own use, whatever way it works with own club.. just spread the word to meet there and then group together?
