Summerhill College Kayak Club Grand Opening

Summerhill College are pleased to announce the grand opening of our new kayak facility at the Glasshouse Hotel on Friday, 15th of September at 2pm. Summerhill Whitewater Kayak club tells a story of the goodwill that exists within the Sligo community. The club had almost everything it needed: support from the school, kayaks, equipment, qualified instructors, a great river, lots of rain and of course a bunch of lads eager to get on the water. One important component was however sorely lacking; a place near the river to store kayaks. Cue Michael O’Hehir of the Glasshouse Hotel. Alongside his hotel, he operates a busy underground carpark. Michael not only provided a secure place within the carpark to lock up boats but did so free of charge. In fact, it involved considerable cost and effort on his part to make it ready for use by the school club. The club’s unique location on the Garavogue is among the best locations in the country for a whitewater kayak club. With access to the water at the slipway at Quay Street, it is perfectly situated between a tidal estuary and a fast flowing rapid. The rapids range from a trickle of water to a raging torrent depending on tide and rainfall. Sessions can be timed with the tide so that the novice paddler can paddle up the river without having to negotiate standing waves or whirlpools. On the other hand, experts can travel a little further (or let the tide go out a little more) and surf one of the many great waves that begins to appear. All the while, bemused residents of the Glasshouse hotel look on from their warm, dry vantage point as they finish their breakfast. There is a massive acceleration of the water as it squeezes through Hyde Bridge. This means that at the right tide & river levels it is an exhilarating adrenaline kick to paddle into the flow and feel your kayak hurtling downstream. If it all gets too much and you capsize, swim safely to the calm water below the rapids with a massive grin on your face. There will be an opening ceremony on the 15th of Sept to showcase the refurbished premises and to thank the many people that made it possible. This will be held in the View Bar of the Glasshouse, at 2pm, with a school kayak session taking place in the water below at 3pm. Summerhill College Kayak Club wish to sincerely thank: Michael O’Hehir, Glasshouse Sligo John McHale Timber yard, Hazelwood Eamon McGauran, Electricians Chris Gonley & Frank McGourty, Leader John McPartland Jason Kennedy Construction Barton Smiths, Lock & Safe Also a massive thank you to Mr.Alan Moore, Mr.Pat Tuohy and Mr.Barry Convey for all their efforts in setting up and running this club.

A massive well done to TY student Luke Hamilton who represented Summerhill and Ireland by competing in the MOS competition yesterday in Reading, England. Although Luke got a maximum score of 1,000 points in his competition, someone else had a slightly faster time. The Irish team also took part in another competition while they were there and they had to prepare and present numerous documents, all through Office software using Word, PowerPoint and Excel. They won this competition overall and each member of the Ireland team (3) got a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 laptop worth STG£1,500. Congratulations Luke on this fantastic achievement!
Good Luck To Luke Hamilton
