We’re really looking forward to you all joining us in Knockadoon this year. Here are some important reminders and notes before you make the trip to Cork!
Bring your Gather book with you
If you have been in Knockadoon in the past 4 years, you will have received a complimentary copy of GATHER. YOU MUST BRING THIS WITH YOU. If you are attending for the first time you will receive a FREE copy of Gather. If you have attended in the past and have lost your Gather book, you can purchase one in KAD for 15 euro. Also, we are short on Piano and Guitar accompaniment books for Gather so if you have an accompaniment edition in your choir, could you please bring it with you. It’d be really helpful to us.
Bring a plain black tee-shirt and denims with you.
We are singing at public Mass in Youghal on Thursday evening at 7:30pm with a short concert afterwards. We will dress in a uniform of plain black tee-shirt and denims – you need to bring these with you. Do tell your family and friends about the concert as all support is welcome.
Bring your instruments with you.
Don’t forget to bring whatever instruments you play (if you play!) with you. You will use these during tutorials and in general sessions for the group.
Bring your sleeping bag, pillow and sheets with you.
Knockadoon is a camp facility. You will need your own bed linen, pillow and/or sleeping bag. We have communal showering areas etc... so bring flip flops and all your own toiletries.
Bring your swimming gear.
Knockadoon is beside the sea! We have free time each afternoon and depending on weather, sea conditions and tides, you will be free to have a swim if you so wish.
Bring yourself!
The camp officially begins with registration on Saturday 16th at 4pm. Please plan your arrival for around that time. Also the camp finishes on Saturday 23rd at 1pm. We will have a final liturgy at 11am and ask that you be present for that.
For those of you travelling from Dublin, a special bus will leave St. Mary’s Priory, Tallaght at 10:00 am sharp on Saturday 16th. Please be on time for this bus!
For those travelling from Cork, a bus will pick you up at the railway station at 4:30pm on 16th August. Cost is €10 return. If you need to get this bus and haven’t already done so, please contact Sinead Fallon at 087 954 0091.
Any other questions or queries - call or email me and I’ll be happy to help you!
See you all real soon…
Tricia
