    Anyone up for it? I've reclaimed my weekends and now I'm giddy for a get together :P

    Closed the pole. Just need a venue.

    Always up for beers, though the turnout the last time was a bit disappointing.

    Well there seems to be a few more newbies knocking around, especially from the Dublin area. I'm sure we could pool a few more together. I plan on making one myself for a change.

    put up a poll with dates. Make sure that people can tick more than one date and also that you tick the thing so that people can see who voted.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Yay! I love it when plans come together. Although, saying that, I'm honestly expecting some tragedy that will prevent me from going. It would be typical me to just die on the day of beers, just so I'd miss out.

    I'll put a poll up this evening. If people want to hold it some time by the end of this month or start of next, I'll put one together.

    I say we do beers for this time but the next one has to be different - Like paintballing or a picnic or something like that

    I'll have you guys know that I've come both 1st and 2nd in a bake off competition...
    I submitted a white chocolate cheesecake anonymously to see if I could get anywhere and had my named beside my caramel chocolate chip muffins with both milk & white choc ganache on top. :D

    This could be amazing! Where could we have a picnic though?

    If I participate, I'm not gonna cook, just cheat by taking some of my mums stuff down. She is amazeballs at cooking cakes, buns, desserts etc. Honestly, they are devine and people keep telling her she should be selling them at the local markets as people would clear the shelves. She has even been asked by people to cater their parties and they'll pay her.

    It's so on right now! (That sounded a bit girly, but I don't care!) :D

    Oh a bake off my opportunity to poison someone! Just kidding. I could supply Irish carbomb cupcakes. They're lethally sinful. Guinness stout n coco in the bun. A dark choc n Irish whiskey ganache filling and baileys frosting. Sinful.

    Beers works too. Or tea garden as that was fun last time!

    Should we combine the two? Have an official boards.ie bake off followed by celebratory beers? Or am I being an event management beast again?

    when we say beers do we mean BYOB to like a pic-nic, or that we meet in a public house and buy them from the publican therein?

    What about Grand Canal Dock (Fab day, eating cakes and chatting beside water being attacked by seagulls - bliss. Or Ringsend Park? Close to the Dart, near Ely which is not a gay bar but very gay friendly and is still in town? We could also reserve an area in Ely downstairs or something like that?

    Thoughts?

    I kind of like the idea of BYOB, keeps costs down, people can bring as much or as little as they fancy...

    Yeah... think we may have got caught up in the glitz and the glam of a picnic. Let's just get down and dirty with booze.

    Oh well I didn't think the picnic/outside thing would be for the next one, I was assuming April time. Weather can be quite nice around then.

    yes, forgot what month it was.

    Drinks in a pub in the next month or so? then pic-nic once spring has sprung?
