so, do we priviliged few in DIT have a decent training time(s) this year at all or stuck with the same as last year?

or a website/message board of our own at all?

toxof · 04-10-2005 12:06pm

Training is on today 430 till 10
Thats 5 1/2 hours!!!!!

Kadeshh · 04-10-2005 12:09pm

are ye mad, 5.5 hours!? well i'll be in ucd today as thats where my bow currently lives. is that a regular thing for the year then?

toxof · 04-10-2005 1:32pm

Yeah, Every Tuesday.
The official time is 4:30 to 7 but when either Myself, Keith, John or Sinead are present we can stay longer. We are the official coaches for the club!

also still have the monday lunch thing 4 beginners and then wednesday n friday with dublin archers in st pauls...

baggins · 04-10-2005 11:31pm

Just for the sake of sayin, should the beginners not get a little bit more than just monday luinchtime. remember the fact that we got no beginners last year because we had no evening training time. just a thought. 5 and a half hours might seem like a great idea for spud and toxof, but, for any less archery-nerdy (if anyone gets offended it only re-inforces my point) people it's a bit much.

hey. yea tuesday's good. we seem to have a good crowd going already, with old and even older still there...... :-) newbies are welcome too as we've said, we had no beginners last year.....

Kadeshh · 07-10-2005 10:30am

but we didnt need beginners last year anyway!

thats one of those comments that'll come back to haunt me wont it?

baggins · 09-10-2005 1:57am

I think on account of Kadeshh's reduced intelligence we can let that one slide. Just remember, college clubs are a lot more transient than you might think.

God I hate being reasonable, i wish i could just go back to rubbing people up the wrong way

MuchSavage · 09-10-2005 12:37pm

but u do!!!!! :-)

only messing....... club's and soc's on this tuesday and wend for us, so come next week, hopefully (fingerscrossed) we will have members!!!! new ones that is...... :-)

Panserborn · 09-10-2005 2:18pm

We got about 70 newbies turning up to the first shoot after clubs day in NUIG - quite a drain on resources! Ya gota take them in though, future of the club and all that ..................... :rolleyes:

MuchSavage · 09-10-2005 9:25pm

oh god we know...... wouldn't refuse them!!! would be very grateful......... just have to attract them first, sholdn't be a problem this year!

trig · 10-10-2005 1:00pm

The way things are set up at present, we could have beginners 4.30 to 7 on tuesday as well as the monday and use the last 2 hours (7-9) for just the more advanced people.
On quieter nights, ie after mid november when numbers are smaller there'll be more time to train cos one or two people can supervise beginners while the rest shoot.
Either way things are much, much better then last year for us.

Plus we have a new ace up our sleeve with a certain former schools archer

"In order to coach, one must first attend training"

baggins · 11-10-2005 11:37pm

i love it, i dont post here for ages and the one time i do i send it into lunasy...again

but more on topic, i will be doing a course on motorbike mechanics in dit this year (tuesdays nights and sat mornings) so i might pop over now and again to shout and hurl abuse :-) i also might pop down to sportslink some night as i have been volunteered into the team event in january so i better dust off the old bow :-)

baggins · 12-10-2005 9:30pm

hold on a second here....

Madrab, are you somehow denying my cuteness??

Ye all know you love me deep down.

toxof · 14-10-2005 11:09am

How many beginners did you get this week?

Kadeshh · 14-10-2005 2:43pm

around the 120 mark last i heard

trig · 14-10-2005 4:54pm

Thats pretty decent, at least its close to last year. Any news on the budget front?

trig · 14-10-2005 4:59pm

oh and madrab training? I'll believe it when I see it

There's more bad news madrab:

Please be advised if you are entering and have not registered any scores at any of the indoor shoots (FITA 18 metres), either this year or last year you will be assessed on a handicap based on a score of 540 out of 600. So please make sure you go and support the shoots held between now and Christmas. Handicaps are based on official results provided by the clubs to Keith Hanlon, IAAA records officer.

So if you don't want 540 (not that you're usually that far off) then you have to go to an IAAA shoot as well.

mr potato head · 15-10-2005 5:24pm

Well thats the last time i let noel or lou near my account!!!
yes lunacy is a good general description of DIT.

So Madrab returns, back to some good old fashioned loud dress sense!
And just cause i didnt write the baggins is cute doesn't mean people don't find hobbits so!
And yes toxof i do like spuds!

so they would assume i get a score of 540, thats close enough i suppose

well at the moment all my free time has kinda dried up, i have my bike course on tuedsays and thurdays, juijitsu on wednesdays and fridays, so im going to try and go to sportslink on of these nights...possibly...maybe...wellll.....damn it i cant do it on my own!!
