We had another great edition of our annual Spring Gathering last Sunday. The weather stayed fine and everyone had lots of great food, kayaking and prizes! The 250m time trial gave a chance for everyone to measure the effects of their winter training and set a benchmark for the season. The duck collection challenge was great fun for the younger members and our unique Kiwi kayak Tug-of-War was a fantastic spectator event!
A huge thanks to Sean for organising the event. Thanks also to Tim, Carmel, Jean, Morgan, Vincent, Brendan, Niall and Matt, and others for help with the preparations and running of the event on the day.
Thanks also to Naoise for preparing the wonderful video above from his drone footage!
We also got a nice writeup in the Liffey Champion!
