    So was wondering would anyone have interest in an A/R beers? Last year it was held on the same day as the Jingle Bells 5k which worked out well so maybe the same day (06/12/14) would work this year as well. I know that the Waterford 1/2 is the same day and some people are running that so maybe the day is not ideal. But there should be a good few running the JB 5k so maybe those interested could meet up for a few beers after the race? We met in Ryan's last year which is near the park for a few drinks and some food and it was good fun. So if you're interested stick your name below!

    Interested

    EDIT: So this is not an official A/R beers, just a thread for anyone interested in meeting up for a few scoops after the JB 5k on the 6/12/14.

    FYI that wasn't last year's xmas beers, we went to the Palace on Fleet St, meeting around 8pm until very late. It was great craic and there were about 15 of us I think.

    6th Doesn't suit me this year, as you say a crowd of us are heading down to waterford and having a night out down there...

    Jeez meno, pedantic much??! ;) It's the only part of the beers that I was on so that's why I mentioned it. It was people from here having beers so that's good enough for me!

    Saturday 13th, Palace Fleet St for evening beers anyone?

    6th during the day doesn't suit me.

    Last year we had polls for dates
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057074490
    and polls for venues
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057082001

    T'was all very democratic :pac:

    In situations like this the person organising needs to go down the dictator route and pick the date. Those who can make that date can, those who can't cant. Doing the whole "what day suits everyone" thing results in division and about 10 different days on the table for consideration. A headache.

    In any case, I'm good for the 6th. Away the following weekend.

    might join yis for one, before meeting up with an altogether better class of people for a proper party later :)
    Presume there's a raid on the cake table in Donore first?
    Would a pub in Chapelizod be handier?

    Not sure where you heard that! If we are in the pub from 1 after the race, 6pm is going to be pretty late! :pac:

    Cake, absolutely (especially if RQ is making chocolate biscuit cake and doesn't bail like last year!).

    I'm open to any venue, don't know the area at all so whatever you guys think suits me! Ryan's was just handy last year as you could get some nice food in it as well.

    I was planning to take the day off on the 5th to spend the day baking but I missed the boat on that :(

    edit: However, I plan to have CBC, brownies and cookies (my three specialities) since they can all be made in advance! :)

    Either look good to me, what does everyone else think? Have any preferences?

    I'll be in waterford so can't attend but you would be mad to stray from Ryan's. Sure you can get a bus at donore to drop you outside if the walk is too far (pussies). Mullingar house is ok but will be lacking atmosphere.

    Must admit that Ryan's would be my preference too (for selfish reasons, it's easier for me to get back into the city from there to make my way home). Maybe a poll with a few options is the fairest way?

    I think we should stick with Ryans. We jogged down there last year and it was a great way to get a cool down done and it's nice in there and the food is good and if I want to get the train it's very handy :D

    +1 for Ryans. No point complicating things. Democracy is overrated :)
