jeff, from the sounds of darams appraisal of the trip, your in for a "great" time

jazzy_jeff

Daram, were you on the last trip? we had about 70 people on the trip, with between 60 and 70 of them actually getting into the water... ie. everybody surfed whether they brought their own boards or they took part in the lessons we provided.

We also had great craic on the Friday and Saturday nights with our very own dj playing in the local pub and i didnt get a single complaint, quite te opposite actually.

Whats the point in coming on giving out about something you havent experienced and actually know nothing about and deterring people who might have been interested in going from going and having a good weekend. We are here to get people into the sport and help out people who are already into it so please let people make up their own minds before telling them how bad something you havent experienced is.

If you were on the last trip (which i doubt you were judging from the negativity of your post) then a much more productive way of getting your point across would be to mention it to someone on the committee or to email us so we could look into fixing the problem for the next trip.

4 years of gradually getting more and more disappointed by the surf club is my reason. It's not your fault, nor is it the surf club's. It's just that I'm stereotyping people as usual. The best surf trip i was in was back in first year, and only 30 people went (I think it was lahinch). When the numbers got bigger, the amount of pretend people on the trips was too much to take, so I stopped going. I've been on my fair share of trips, I was supposed to be on the commitee last year with richie, but didnt go missed AGM.

yeah, i am quite bitter. i should sort that out.

edit - your post disappeared, which makes mine make no sense. either way, I took no offense, it was pretty much true. Apart from the social retardation bit.

jazzy_jeff

missed your post there daRobot, wat ya say?

daram

he said not to worry about what I said, and that i was bitter. if you're worried about people being discouraged from joining the surf club then i'll delete my first post. actually, i will anyway.

jazzy_jeff

There was no need to do that, now my very eloquent, well argued and passionate post defending the trip makes no sense.

daram

I felt bad. My sentiments about the surf club however remain the same. Do you argue with the fact that there are a lot of members who are quite simply posing? Maybe it's different this year.

jazzy_jeff

Yeah there are a few people who join the club who never have anything to do with the club. Whether this be posing or genuinely wanting to make more of their membership but not being able to go on the trip for whatever reason.

I actually have no problem with these "posers" they still pay the cash for the privilage which in turn goes towards the trips and events we organise. the more the merrier I say.
