8th June 2015 at 2:44 pm #7403WilloParticipantHi All
Weather is forecast to be amazing for Hook or By Crook so it promises to be a great weekend. I hope you are excited!
This is the list of 15 who I believe are staying down in the Sea Cliff houses in Dunmore East this weekend. There has been a bit of black market trading in beds for the weekend so the below may not be 100% accurate!
Piranha Member Friday Saturday Note
Marie Moran Yes Yes
Antje Yes Yes
Ger F Yes Yes
Siobhan Yes Yes
Catherine Yes Yes
Laurajmoy Yes Yes
Anthony Mulholland Yes No Contact Steven Moody for Saturday bed
Stephen Eustace Yes Yes
Laura Coughlan Yes Yes
Bernard Hanratty Yes Yes
Jennifer Madden Yes Yes
Peter Sweeney Yes No Contact Giolla Carroll for Saturday bed
Daireen Gill Yes Yes
John Kearney Yes Yes
Siobhan C Yes YesI believe there maybe a few beds free on the Saturday night so if you want to contact the Steven or Giolla they maybe able to help. Beds cost them roughly €40 per night just so you are aware. Also if anyone doesn’t think they can make it down Friday night, please post up here as there are a few people still looking for beds so you could recoup some cash!
I received an email from Trident Holiday homes this morning confirming some arrangements for the accommodation which is posted below. I have clarified / negotiated the following with the Property Manager, Maria Doherty, though:
– At least 2 of the houses will be ready Thursday evening so if anyone wants to head down then they can. These houses will obviously be ready of an early Friday check-in either. If anyone is going down Thursday or early Friday, please contact Maria to confirm as per the instructions below
– Check out on Sunday is usually 10am but Maria will allow you check out at 12pm instead. Please vacate the houses then and leave them as clean as possible as there are other bookings checking in at 4pm Sunday
– The houses will be pretty sparse so I would advise to bring food for Friday evening, food for breakfast (including tea, coffee, milk, sugar), extra loo roll, chocolate and alcopops
– I promised you were responsible adults so Maria will not ask for the €200 security deposit per houseSome other points to note:
– Each house has sleeps 5 with 1 Double, 1 Twin, 1 Single. I haven’t allocated people per house so I will let you figure that out as you are all grown adults
– There is a couch if two people don’t want to share
– Post race dinner and celebrations will be in the Spinnaker Bar at 7:30. Please don’t be late. I’ve reserved an area for 20 people. That should cover the above people and a few others who have emailed me separately expressing interest for this
– I will not be going down to the race as I’ve a big weekend of training to do for IM Austria in a few weeks. If you need anything or need to clarify anything on the booking please don’t hesitate to contact meThink that covers most things. Post up with any questions or contact me directly.
Thanks
Will

9th June 2015 at 5:23 pm #7437WilloParticipantHi All
Some information on the race this weekend has been posted as a news story and is available at https://www.piranhatri.com/uncategorised/piranha-national-series-strategy-race-2/
The weather is looking nice for Saturday (16 degrees and little wind) so its sure to be a great day. There will be over 50 Piranahs racing so I would ask those finished first to hang around and encourage your fellow Piranhas who are finishing behind you. Remember there is a Piranha v Belpark Face Off and every position counts!Thanks
Will
