Its still a while off but with all thats going to be going on over the next few weeks I've started the ball rolling on the October bank holiday weekend.

Plan is to going diving in Killary Harbour which is sheltered from pretty much every direction except due westerlies and offers a range of diving from simple shore wreck diving to island hopping and deep cold dark stuff.

Because its going to be October and its going to be getting cold and wet after the blistering summer we've had we're going to be staying in Tully Cross Village in lovey thatched cottages.

The Cottages sleep 7 people in each and we have 4 of them at present more can be got.

-1 twin

- 1 x3 single beds

* = Not to be confused with 1 Million, one hundred and eleven thousand, one hundred and eleven - that kind of mon lives in a cave wearing aran banana hammocks, ABLJ's and fetching cutlasses lashed to his/her barnacled thigh. Nope just 1, dragged out all long again (goes with the song).

Snorkel Weekend the 2nd!!!!

Night out / Fundraiser, Wednesday 18th February (TONIGHT)

Portobello (downstairs) - we will charge a small entrance fee on the door - as usual 50 % of all takings go directly to the RNLI

Bring all your friends! This will be a great night, with the best of sub-aqua antics

On 31^st January, 9 hardy members of UCD SubAqua braved the elements and took to the water to snorkel (against the current!) from Bulloch Harbour to Sandycove Beach, raising almost €1000 for their club and the RNLI.

S.O.S. Day is a UK-and-Ireland-wide RNLI fundraising event which takes place at the end of January each year - anyone can get involved and organise an event. Dublin events this year ranged from "Salsa On Saturday" and "Sample Our Sponges" to "Sailors On Saddles"!

We would like to thank everyone who kindly supported us, including shore-marshals, soup-makers and sponsors. Hopefully we can make it an annual event!

Hi guys,

the EGM for tomorrow is taking place at 8pm in AG 118 in the Ag building. The changes to the constitution and election of new officers will take place.

Afterwards can I suggest we go out for a drink or two in the local?

Hope to see you all there

Ian
