I wanna be a zillionaire so frickin bad....
..well perhaps not a zillionaire, but a bit of publicity ain't gonna do us any harm now, is it? We got word some time back that RTE were filming a new Sports Quiz show for primetime broadcasting in September and that they were looking for sports groups to come along and be a part of it. Right, says us ...we'll be having some of that ...so we duly threw our bright orange helmets into the ring and were subsequently picked for stardom. 19 of us are now descending on RTE studios in Donnybrook on Monday 8th August for our moment in the sun ....and we'll naturally report back on just how badly we mucked it all up once we return ! |

If it's the fourth weekend of July then it must be Ardmore in County Waterford, and the return of the cats to the great Ardmore Pattern Festival. This is the third time we've been here and the event (and the weather!) just seems to get more enjoyable with each year. This time out we had seven thundercats setting fire to Ardmore Bay and the event was run with a bit of a twist. To make things a little different we ran a thing called a 'Rummy Run' ...based loosely on the cardgame Gin Rummy. In the middle of the bay we placed a 'Dealer' boat and the cats had to go to the Dealer to collect two cards during the course of their time on the water. The winning crew was then decided by which crew's cards came closest to 21. We expected that it would offer an interesting 'spin' on proceedings and it didn't disappoint ....with chaos ensuing as the cats all headed to the dealer at the same time. All in all though it was another great Pattern Festival outing, and another great opportunity for crews to come together for a bit of craic. Photos from the day can be seen here and videos are on our video gallery page. |

Early June saw five Thundercats arrive at Clifden boat club for what turned out to be a thrilling afternoon on the water. This was our first real get-together of 2010 and a combination of exciting conditions and great hospitality meant that this will be a venue we're now looking forward to returning to again and again ....albeit some of us may wish to stay in our cat the next time around!! Pictures from the day are up on our gallery and you can view them by clicking here. |

 We're all eagerly looking forward to the Global Gathering of P750 Thundercat minds in Amsterdam on Monday 16th of May. This is all about how we, as individual communities, can start working more closely together to improve our great sport. Big thanks must go to Phil Stacey for his foresight in making the event happen and we're looking forward to putting faces and accents to the names of fellow catters from across the globe. At the moment we're having a healthy debate here in Ireland among the racers on what our views are on certain agenda points ....and if you'd like to be involved in this discussion simply get in touch.
UPDATE
Hugely successful event with Ireland, UK, Sweden, Norway, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa represented in the room.... and Poland, Iceland, Canada and many others involved through the wonders of technology (big thanks to Peter Sweeney!!). Really positive attitude and everyone is now embarked on a course to make our global sport even better. Stay tuned for updates!! |
