WHAAAAT. 8 euro and no FOOD.
UCD did it for 7 with food and very very nice medals i swear were being robed so we are.
and they say dublin prices are more costly, I think not.:p

Memori · 25-02-2008 7:31pm

UCD charged 10 euro per shooter not 7.

Renegade_Archer · 26-02-2008 12:05am

Also, it's their first intervarsity, give them a fscking chance John..

Best wishes to Dundalk for the shoot, don't listen to the complaints, your entry fee is very very reasonable, a fraction of the cost of each arrow that many of the archers are going to be shooting. Well done to you all

Here here

Fair play to ye, looking forward to this one. New college, new venue, big windmill thing to play with - will be a good one!

Hey if you guys need any help or want to ask any questions, fire away. We all remember our first intervarsity to organize. Stress stress stress for me anyway

Back in the really old days each IV was a tenner so wouldn't worry about the cost. You have to charge what makes ends meet

MicS · 27-02-2008 12:15pm

Can I also ask for directions? I've found location of DKIT on the map. But where is the shooting itself going to be?

Robinhood101 · 27-02-2008 1:56pm

Looking forward to this one....Bring on the fun...question which campus is it in????

Misch · 27-02-2008 6:15pm

Dundalk has only one campus, it's called Dundalk IT (or Dkit) and the shooting will be in the college sports hall.

Direction:

Arriving by car (on the motorway) take the exit Dundalk(south), after you passed Xerox, turn left (at the traffic lights) and the campus is straight away on your right side.

Arriving by bus from Dublin, the bus will stop in front of the college (before it drives to the town)

To get to the sports hall, you have to enter the main building, turn right and walk to the next building where you have a double door on your left which leads you to the sports hall.

and coming from belfast? sorry to be awkward...

Renegade_Archer · 28-02-2008 11:01pm

Same applies, streak down the M1 till the Dundalk South exit, and follow the same directions.. If you see Drogheda you've gone too far

olymacfoogal · 28-02-2008 11:10pm

from belfast on a bus? land in bus station. is it far from there?

Renegade_Archer · 28-02-2008 11:16pm

It's around 3 klicks - probably best to get a taxi - no idea if the bus goes past DkIT before heading on to Drogheda

Misch · 29-02-2008 11:41am

You have a few options:

You can ask the bus driver if he would stop at the college, most of them don't but I met already a few nice ones which did.

There are town buses which you can take at the bus station and they will stop at the side entrance of the college so you have to cross the campus or walk around. Dkit campus is very small so should not be a problem.

The easiest way would be take a taxi at the bus station.

The bus station is about 45 minutes walk away from the college (if you know the way), I would not recommend this with all the gear.

Are there any haute cuisine establishments nearby? Or a chipper will do me grand too.

MicS · 01-03-2008 8:50pm

Results are up at http://www.ucd.ie/archery

I did not have any categories in the data I've got, so all categories of people are my guesses. But I need more information on:
- Siubhan Leannan (GMIT)

Other questions:
- Davina Drujon (DKIT) counted in team but also marked as guest. Which is correct?

Suaimhneas · 02-03-2008 1:14am

- Siubhán Leannan (GMIT) is a Barebow shooter. thanks mics,v. quick work!
Class work for everything guys, really turned out well ... plus its always nice to hear dkit's Recreation officer singing archery's praises at the end! -but who'd blame him!

Renegade_Archer · 02-03-2008 6:08am

Props to James for taking the record - good to see some decent archers coming up the ranks..

Edgedinblue · 02-03-2008 12:11pm

Siubhan Leannan (GMIT) is not barebow anymore, she's sight.

Suaimhneas · 02-03-2008 1:41pm

ooh when did she become converted??:) she was still on the lads teamlist as a bb!

Misch · 02-03-2008 2:04pm

Davina Drujon was shooting for Dkit
Karen Dunne doesn't shoot recurve anymore, she shoot compound.

Panserborn · 02-03-2008 2:14pm

Well done DkIT - very well run, hall looked great and very snazzy medals and uniforms.

Here's to many more DkIT IV's!

Edgedinblue · 02-03-2008 2:48pm

she got converted about a week ago...iv tried to bring her back to the barebowness! but she done really well with a sight so we'll leave her with it.

Mogsey · 02-03-2008 4:51pm
