    I’ve just realised that I have work events on the weekend of this race and have already taken a slot in the one of the houses that Will booked. Let me know if anyone would like to take my place in the house.

    The work events have changed again. Anyone driving down on the Friday or Saturday morning with space for a bike and human? I live in Dundrum but can travel. Thanks

    Jimmy:

    I’m driving down, either 7ish Friday or v. early Saturday. Plenty of room for one other and a bike if you need it.

    Not sure about accommodation – I’ve only committed to this myself over the weekend so I’m looking into options.

    John.

    Hi 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 Yes

    I 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 house

    Some 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 me

    Think that covers most things. Post up with any questions or contact me directly.

    Thanks

No invoice or letter of confirmation can be dispatched to you until the booking deposit has been received. Trident Holiday Homes reserves the right to request full payment for bookings for special events or festivals at the time of booking. If this is applicable on-line customers will be contacted after an on line booking is made to pay the balance of the booking deposit required while callers to our Reservations Office will be required to pay the increased booking deposit at the point of booking.
    2. Balance of Payment: Full payment of holiday home rental must be made to us, no later than six weeks prior to the rental commencement date. Upon receipt of the balance due, clients will receive arrival instructions. Late payments may result in the holiday Home booking(s) being cancelled without advance client notification. In the case of special offers the balance due date may differ.
    3. Change of Location / Dates: In the event of you wishing to change the date or location of a booking, should we be able to facilitate you, there will be an administration charge of €50.

    • Less than 2 weeks before arrival date – 100%.
    • We strongly advise that clients take out travel insurance to cover any costs associated with having to cancel a holiday
    6. Utility Charges: Heat and electricity are extra charges and are normally based on set daily rates depending upon the time of year. These are normally payable together with your balance payment. At some locations they are based on a meter reading done on site and payable on departure. Should utility charges not be paid on departure, they will be deducted from the security deposit without further notice.
    7. Security Deposit: A refundable security deposit of €200 must be paid on arrival. We reserve the right to charge an increased security deposit at certain times of the year or certain types of bookings which will be notified to you prior to arrival. The deposit will be refunded within 7 days of departure once the supervisor is satisfied that the terms and conditions of rental have been compiled with. Failure to leave the accommodation in a clean and tidy condition may result in the loss of all or part of the security deposit. When a rental is for longer than one week, cleaning of the house during rental must be requested from the on-site manager and a fee may apply.
    8. Arrival and Departure Times: Specific arrival and departure times are outlined on the direction sheet. These times must be strictly adhered to.

    9. Right to Decline: Trident Holiday Homes reserves the right to refuse, alter or cancel a booking, even after receipt of final payment. In addition, the company is relived of all liability should reserved accommodation not be available due to circumstances beyond our control. In such an instance, alternative arrangements will be made in similar accommodation, or a full refund will be offered. However, no refund or liability will apply to a situation where a client is requested to vacate, or leaves of their own accord, prior to the expiration of the booking.
    10. Behaviour: Trident Holiday Homes reserves the right to terminate this contract if the behaviour or conduct of the Consumer either prior to or during a holiday is likely to endanger the safety or well being of other consumers in the party or that of the consumer himself.

    12. Pets: We do accept pets at a limited number of properties. However there is an extra cleaning charge of €25 per pet payable to the supervisor on site.
    13. Liability: Trident Holiday Homes, its employees or agents shall not be liable for any damages, loss, or personal injury which may be sustained by persons or property at any time during the reserved stay.
    14. Complaints: In the unlikely event of a complaint concerning your accommodation, it should be brought to the attention of the site-manager immediately. Failure to register such a complaint while on site may invalidate a future claim. Failing a satisfactory solution, you should contact Trident Holiday Homes and a written complaint should be logged within 14 days of departure.

    Hi 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
