Personally, I would suggest the Friday the 19th of December, just before the main boards beer bash on the 20th [link]. Would people be up for such an event?

I would suggest GUBU or The Front Lounge, and taking it from there. Alternatively, if there is demand, we can have it somewhere else in the country, for example Galway or Cork. I don't know either city well enough to comment on the likely venues though.

Dublin might be best as people will be winging their way (yes I'm flying) to Dublin around then to go to the Boards Beers.

Venuewise, the Front Lounge is great. But due to the last messups we should all agree and then have someones number if we are not turning up.

Still a-go, AFAIK. I've only suggested the venues, but unless there are any objections, we'll go with them for the night. I'd imagine we'll probably meet up at The Front Lounge at around 8pm and probably head to the George later (unless anyone has any other ideas).

Details will be confirmed closer to the date, I'll definitely be up in Dublin that weekend, so if anyone wants my mobile no, just PM me.

I'd definitely be up for it myself. Flounge would be good venue-wise too, GUBU's a bit small, the clubs are a bit loud for conversation, and Out on the Liffey is - well, it's Out on the Liffey, and good luck to anyone who goes in there IMO. PS I agree with Oneweb, this should probably be a sticky . . . anyways, here's hoping it goes ahead.

Just wondering would people just prefer meeting up at the boards beer thats happening the following day in the White Horse instead ?

Or do you prefer our own separate event ? It doesn't bother me as I'm in Dublin both days.

I'll try to get there from 7 to reserve space down the back for us.

As has been stated, please get someones number if you don't know what we look like. I should be easy to spot. I'll be the gay guy sitting down.

Which one?

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.

I'm still going. Granted, I have no idea where I'll be staying up in Dublin *cough* *cough*, but I'll still head out for the craic. azezil, if you don't turn up, you are clearly straight. yellum, sorry to hear you've got the flu - try to make it up if you're feeling up to it (also try to can the sarcasm please).

Should be a good night out. Again, if anyone is unsure of who any of us are, private messages are your friend.
