Some long time members may have known Mark O'Connor. He was a very enthusiastic boater in Cork and was a regular volunteer. Cork Dragons are organising a remembrance paddle in his honour this Saturday. As the majority of current members may not have known Mark, I don't envisage the entire Saturday morning fleet taking part, but a boat or two may be interested in taking part. Anyone wishing to take part, please co-ordinate with those on duty on Saturday morning. Don't forget, this Saturdays row starts at 10 rather than 10.30 due to the parking experiment. 

They plan to depart from Lapps Quay in their dragon boat at 10.30 and row downriver as far as Shandon (if the weather doesn't allow they may decide to do the north channel instead) 

At 11 they plan to have a flower ceremony at Lapps Quay followed by a gathering in Tequila Jacks. 

Thanks,

Colin
