Barrow Descent - October 29th
Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:08 pm
Hi all,
This October 29th, the inaugural "Waterways Ireland Barrow Descent" will take place on a 23km stretch of the River Barrow from Goresbridge, Co. Kilkenny-St. Mullins, Co. Carlow.
With 12 weirs along the course, safety will be of paramount importance and while members from Thomastown Paddlers will be covering several of them, further volunteers will be needed. Any help you/or your members can be in assisting the running of this event would be greatly appreciated. We hope that this inaugural event will grow, possibly one day to be a sister event to the Liffey Descent itself.
We hope to have free camping with showers close by in Thomastown, and there will be an after race "Halloween Fancy Dress Party" that you and your friends are all welcome to attend. This has the makings of a great weekend
If you can help us out in anyway possible (or know of any other groups etc that can) I would be hugely appreciative if you could let them know and maybe e-mail me @: [email protected].
Looking forward to hearing from you all, please get in touch soon if you can be part of the safety team.
A Race notice will be published shortly on http://www.canoe.ie
Yours in paddling,
