Hi everyone!
In a few weeks time DUO will be hosting the College's Training Weekend on 20/21st November (week 11).
The committee have already started getting preparations underway and hopefully it's all set up to be a memorable one!
Everyone will meet on Bull Island, in the Southern Carpark in time for training to begin at 12 noon, on Saturday 20th. A full day's training on these technical sanddunes will be planned from beginner to advanced. Please bring lunch with you as it will be late before we can head into town for food.
We'll all head out to a local pub (likely to be MacTurcaills) for a night of banterous fun with students from all around the country.
The next day everyone will travel out to compete in the nearby Leinster League event at the Vale of Clara. Here we can put our newly-learned skills to the test.
This is a great opportunity to socialise with fellow student orienteers from around the country, so please do come along. It'll be a bitta craic.
This once in a year-time opportunity costs just €10 each to cover expenses, so please reply if you're interested in coming along as we need to gage numbers in order to prepare maps. Please note accommodation and transport to Dublin are not included in this price. This price will be decided dependent on numbers.
Put the date in your diary!

The club as of yet have nothing planned that weekend, and I have a bit of interest from the Orienteering crew, so I'll see what I can do personally.
Thanks for posting it Yoda, if I had any sense I would of done the same when you originally sent it haha.

Hey guys,
So this was brought to committee. Not guaranteed to happen yet as I have to see what interest is like. I'm looking to bring around 15 people up for an all inclusive cost of €30. That will cover:
-The €10 fee -Accommodation -Entry and SI Card rental on Sunday -Travel -(Potentially dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday if enough interest).
This price isn't final, just a rough guideline right now.
Anyone who is interested please drop me an e-mail at orienteering@ulopc.com

Just updating people, I currently have 9 on the list out of a potential 15-20. I do imagine though that it will be full. People are slowly trickling in, as they realize they might have work done in time for it!
Need to find a decent hostel next.
