So - what  can you do for RAG week?

Every year we organise a Bungee Jump and every year you answer that call.  For your plummeting pleasure, for the very first time ever in Ireland, SCAD Freefall! SCAD stands for Suspended Catch Air Device and is, simply put, a freefall from 150feet onto a giant net suspended above the ground. There’s a significant amount of science behind the whole system that allows you to experience pure freefall for around 3 seconds. No bungee cord; just a big net for you to land on. Now, granted, you’ll experience g forces of around 4 Gs but we’re reliably informed that the landing is a soft one!

Sponsorship cards are available now, from your local Students’ Union office and the minimum amount will be €100 as usual. As always, feel free not to stop at raising €100. The record from last year stands at around €1400 for one bungee jump. Apologies for resurrecting the memory, as I’m sure any of ye who witnessed it have long since banished it from your consciousness, but dearest Eamon raised the €1400 last year and did the bungee all but nekkid with some very poignant messages written on his buttocks.

The freefall is not the only new departure for RAG Week 2010. Following swiftly in its rather sizeable footsteps will be DIT students going Zorbing!  We will be transporting ourselves into the not too distant future and shall Zorb in Grangegorman, the future site of DIT. It’s not far away, it has a load of green space and a hill and we may even put on a bus or two to get ye there if ye are that lazy. It’ll be well worth it, we assure you! Zorbing will be fun. It’ll cost ya a mere couple of quid and the mere couple of quid will go straight to charity so you’ll get the warm fuzzy feeling. And that rocks.

We’re going to take a shot at bridging the gap between college time and the night time events. We call that evening time and we’ll be putting on some entertainment in a couple of Dublin’s finer public houses to get ye all warmed up. And yes, we know it’s not strictly speaking a NEW departure but still, it deserved a mention.
