Oh God. that is this sat. where bouts were we having it? I may be a maybe now due to a hape of unforseen costs

Annasopra · 25-03-2015 1:00am

I can probably only stay an hour or so on Saturday

Ash885 · 25-03-2015 2:50am

Well with the 5 people who did put their names down and two of which potentially not going I'm going to lay my hand down here and say I'll be in town that night somewhere in Panti if anyone wants to go for a pint. But good luck with the meetup if it goes ahead.

babysock88 · 25-03-2015 1:19pm

Hey. May I ask what age group is the people that are going tomorrow? Just don't want to be the youngest by quite abit and feel uncomfortable...thanks

Annasopra · 28-03-2015 8:49am

Folks apologies I cant make it.

From what I can see there will be around 7 or 8 people there. There's a few +1s there.

I would urge everyone to go ahead with it. Its usually in JW Sweetmans at around 8pm and someone usually prints something clearly showing boards.ie.

I couldn't be 100%. But the gamut of ages on here is run between 18-30+

Don't worry about being uncomfortable. This is my first time going and my first time I'm going to something like this "out" to strangers. Plus I'm bringing a straight female friend as well just to make it less uncomfortable for me.

Anyway, I'll be there about 830. Hopefully earlier. But defo for 830. Whoever gets there first make sure you post a message on here that you're there so we know.

Can't wait.

BonnieSituation · 28-03-2015 9:08pm

BonnieSituation · 28-03-2015 9:49pm

There could be. But i cant find them. But I'm here so...
Buzz up and we'll hunt them out.

BonnieSituation · 28-03-2015 10:44pm

I think that's that. No idea what happened. Pretty disappointed.

Only so much wandering and searching and pming one guy can do.

I'm off.

imme · 29-03-2015 9:07pm

had to go to a funeral, couldn't make it
sorry

ninty9er · 29-03-2015 9:39pm

Haven't checked in in a few weeks. Did bump into Ash in the George lastnight, I'll have to keep a better track on the thread next time.

Ash885 · 05-04-2015 9:15pm

In my view the main reason these last few have been a bust is people commenting that they'll be there and then adding the "But maybe not". Instills a bit of doubt that ultimately puts a lot more people from going. I know things crop up and can blind sight ye. A simple yes and making a good effort to be there wouldn't go unnoticed. I know that might seem a bit ironic given I backed out too but that was off the reaction 3 people canceled so close. Some of us travel a good bit, book places to stay etc. and don't really want to be ferrying the Titanic into the lonely corner of a pub when it's after a hard week at work ^^

Equally there could be no need for them? Doesn't seem to be much demand for them as of late. They did help me originally and if someone feels that they're missing out on this PM me and always welcome to come along with my mates for pints when it suits.

And good God the George was packed that night -_-'

Annasopra · 05-04-2015 9:38pm

I did genuinely intend on going but couldnt in the end.

I think there is a huge need for them but people are nervous about them.

Bonnie - I'm really sorry this was such a mess.

coolperson05 · 06-04-2015 12:15am

Hey guys,

Long time 'boardsie' but haven't really followed the LGBT forum. I love this idea of meetups. Sorry to hear your recent one was such a bust, but would love to be included on a future one.

hdowney · 06-04-2015 12:23am

I was genuinely planning on going then life went tits up - and has continued in that vein since

That's terrible to hear. Hope you're doing better.

Lads, to be honest. All is grand about it. In the end I went to a birthday party I had been going to after the meetup so it was no biggie. Just a pain wandering around like a fool for an hour was not cool.

There's definitely a need for them to be honest as it does help in the "outing" of oneself to be with a group of fellow LGBT's.

Hopefully there's another during the summer.

Bobby42 · 09-04-2015 11:23am

Hi,

I've been too nervous to attend these in the past but if there is another meet up I will go if I can.

Been trying to bury my sexuality for years but I'm coming around to accepting it and plan on coming out soon.

I'm nearly 30 so its about time I started meeting other men.

Ash885 · 13-04-2015 3:06pm

Well I'm after getting a few lovely messages about interest in the meetups and to be honest would be a shame to see them go as they are a right laugh and a help. Would be healthy for like minded individuals to meet for a chatter.

So maybe call me stupid but should we try for a May one then before the ref? All I ask is if you're willing to suggest ideas and dates please for the love of Panti stick to them.

hdowney · 13-04-2015 4:30pm

I don't know duberland very well, and I certainly don't know the gay scene up there so I'd be beyond hopeless (like a straight man in a sea of lesbians!) with suggesting, but I will do my darndest to be in attendance when a date and venue is decided upon

Daith · 13-04-2015 6:47pm

Saturday 16th May?
There's a March for Marriage on Sunday so ppl could go to that too if they're staying up?

yer man! · 13-04-2015 7:01pm

I'll def go to one in May if there's one on, I'm in the states until the 30th April.

playedalive · 13-04-2015 9:24pm

I'd love to get to a meet up in May. I am officially moving back to Dublin from France at the start of May. Let's make this happen

Well it's been an 'interesting' year abroad to say the least. We'll see :pac:

That sounds like a smashing idea btw! So should we start a new thread...don't want to be spamming the place but this seems like as good a date as any and a new thread might clear out all this.

Annasopra · 14-04-2015 10:52pm

Yep

Start a new thread
