Where would be a good place to meet up? Anyone have opinions on this? We ALWAYS seem to be going to the Old Oak so perhaps its time for a different starting place :-)

Hmm, old oak is always good... then again probably one of the most jammed places that day.. as is everything around patrick street/oliver plunkett street...
Im guessing should still start somewhere there, also those places easier to find for newbies usually... maybe after that in evening we could go to some (hopefully) less crowded place...franciscan well... umm... whatever:P anywhere is good for me

I love that place, going there at least every second weekend myself..
But yeah, anyway, we can actually just decide starting point and then decide later what we do:)

I'd also be keen on the well.

Or maybe the Abbots Alehouse.

mudokon · 15-03-2011 8:41pm

Before we start arranging meeting places for drinks, who is coming out before the pub?

I'll be heading in for the race anyone coming along to that I would suggest meeting up around 11:20ish outside Merchants Quay shopping centre.

If anyone is going to the Parade and wants to meet up as well we could say in the same place around 12:30.

If the weather is good then somewhere with a beer garden (Franciscan Well has a good one) would be a plus but we'll see that on the day.

I'd be up for the Abbot Ale house as well as I've never been there.

LenaClaire · 16-03-2011 10:23am

I'll meet you for the races

oeb · 16-03-2011 12:17pm

I probably wont be coming into town till after the parade. Can someone PM me a number so I can text someone to find out where ye are?

Cheers.

PM sent, if anyone else needs a number they can PM me.

Wispyman volunteered his number too so you could pm him also. Not sure what time he'll be out though.

corkcomp · 16-03-2011 3:39pm

You might be the only one able to stand up;)

So where is the first port of call after the parade?

wispyman · 16-03-2011 10:00pm

I will probably come in for the parade and then look to see where everyone is after that. I still have your number Mudokon (still never done the 3am heavy breathing thing - YET) so I can see where you all are.

Anyone who is coming out AFTER the parade is welcome to PM me for a contact number if your worried about not finding anyone. Not much point if your wanting to find people BEFORE the parade though so I am sure someone with those plans will volunteer:D

brainyneuron · 16-03-2011 11:14pm

Am painting shamrocks on people for suas (charity) for some of the day (I think 12-4) not sure where I'll be but i'll be around the city somewhere anyway! Will hopefully see you guys afterwards!

I'll see you 11:20ish outside Merchants Quay shopping centre. Is the race you want to watch taking place on the Nth Channel?

Abbot Ale house [...] I've never been there.

Nor me! I'd love to pop in for one or two at least. Does that suit people?

The race is from Brian Boru bridge to Patricks bridge. We could go to the Abbot Ale house after the parade and move on from there after.

Pfft I was awake at twenty to 6 & in work by 8.

Not unless Lukin went elsewhere on his own.

Nah man, I headed home; I texted someone to see if they were out but they weren't (probably just as well seeing as I had work in the morning). I bought a current scone in the Centra on Oliver Plunkett street,took it home and eat it with a nice cup of tea before hitting the hay.
I was actually pleasantly surprised to be able to get a scone at that time of night...

footieguy · 27-03-2011 6:38pm

Hey guys

I would be interested in meeting up for a social night if that would be ok? Are new people welcome? Do people meet up once per month or more often?

Thanks

LenaClaire · 27-03-2011 7:21pm

Hi,

We are always open to new people

We usually meet up about once a month or so. A new thread will probably pop up soon for the April meet-up so just keep your eye out!

Absolutley footieguy; the Cork boardsies always love to see a new face at a meetup. We usually meet up once a month but there have been a few times where we've had them twice a month.

footieguy · 27-03-2011 7:39pm

Thanks for the replies jujibee and lukin. I'll keep an eye of for the April event then and hopefully I'll be able to make it.

Thanks again

Daegerty · 27-03-2011 9:13pm

If I'm around in april I'll come down for a pint or 10.
