Wasn't aware of any email, prob cos kev signed me up. There is no chance that I will be attending any training sessions in the squash courts.. It's just not right. I'll prob head down to Kevin st club if I feel the need to train more than once a week, wont at the beginning cos I be seriously unfit at present..

Pet you have Claas Rover!!?? You poor poor boy... I pity you so much. Not only can he not teach, he has a habit of messing up the exams. The chap has had so many complaints against him from the student body, the SU and the faculty. For the schols last year he had to re-mark ALL of his papers as people were getting ridiculously lower marks in his course than the other two maths courses. In the resits he I hear he completely changed the layout of his paper and removed a question so the students had to answer 8 out of 9 instead of 8 out of 10 questions.

Who do you have for 1S2 btw?

When I heard about the squash courts again I decided to give it a miss, though I signed up anyway.

Oh great. I drop geog for full maths, and now it seems I'm screwed that way too.

As for IS2...I actually fell asleep today when Timoney was giving the timetable, so I ain't so sure..

Again just to clarify, it was never the intention nor the ambition for the judo club to train in judo in a squash court (DUCAC calls it a Training Hall (?????)).

The college seems to have the attitude that judo is like karate or something and we jsut stand in a line and kick air and it doesnt matter about the dangerously close walls, the broken mirrors and all that. This isn't the place to fully vent our frustration with DUCAC and it's staff.

Anyway, the lads are doing their absolute best to try and get at least one proper training time in the main hall with our coach but it appears that early signs are proving promising.

Finally, for the next week or two (hopefully not more) there will be no training in Trinity Facilities. All people are welcome to come down to DIT Kevin Street for 6.30 o'clock training on Tuesday and and 20:00 Thursday.

DIT unlike triinity don't bother swiping cards, strip searching and scanning for bomb making equipment like it's more prestigious (in the eyes of americans) universal big brother.

Just to confirm, all are welcome to this training, I'll be out side the Hamilton steps at 18:00 to meet anyone interested in coming.

Aye kev I'm def goin, and I'm bringin my mate.. Not arsed replyin to your text.

This was the email sent around:

Hello everyone and welcome to the TCD judo club.

Firstly my apologies for the delay in the commencing
of training as we have had various issues within the
club which have delayed training, fortunately most of
these issues have been resolved at this stage.

Training will commence this wednesday the 20th October
in the Luce Sports Hall on the main sports hall at 5pm
and will last until roughly 6.50pm.

The first session will consist mainly of an
introduction to the sport and breakfalling techniques,
followed by the basics of throwing and groundwork
techniques. These are the basics of judo and
imperative to know for both safety and for performing
future techniques properly.

You should wear tracksuit bottoms and a rugby jersey
if you have one, but it doesn't matter too much for
the first few sessions if you don't.

For any experienced players who are new to our club,
we will not be doing any randori or advanced
techniques but we would appreciate if you would come
along and help with the introduction for the
beginners.

I hope to see you all on wednesday,
Graham Ruddle
TCD Club Captain 2004.

Lmao, I like the way it was also sent to Guy Incognito <123adress@hotmail.com>

Wow!! That was mega quick!!

Sorry I know nothing about Tae Kwon Do so did not realise. Is that a universal logo or is it perhaps for a paricular club?

Thanks again for putting me straight! Saves me looking down the wrong road any longer.

Kevin_rc_ie

Was the fact that it says taekwondo on it not a clue that it had to do with tae kwon do?

Since it says in the picture you provided "taekwondo approved" on it. It would lead me to think that it's a tag from a piece of equipment rather than specific to any particular club.
