[PR] Dublin "Port Tunnel Opening" Bicycle Christmas Party

.

Dublin "Port Tunnel Opening" Bicycle Christmas Party: 6.30pm til later, Monday 11th December, "The Pod", Harcourt Street Station.

The Dublin Cycling Campaign, the voluntary lobbying organisation "Working to Make Dublin A Bicycle-Friendly City" (www.connect.ie/dcc), is organising a Christmas Party for Dublin's cyclists to co-incide with the opening of the Dublin Port Tunnel (in late December). The tunnel has the potential to transform the city by finally freeing the city centre streets of many of the Heavy Goods Vehicles which have dominated the capital for many years. All cyclists, and anyone interested in transforming Dublin City into a safer and more convivial city, are welcome to the party on Mon 11th December - 6.30pm-11.00pm. Music will be provided by bicycle messenger DJ Seán Ó Tuathail and other DJ's. Food will be provided for those who arrive early and a bicycle-related slide show will illuminate the venue. Only €5.00 on the door. Looking forward to meeting you at what will be a very sociable and lively night! Details / poster found at http://home.connect.ie/dcc/events/Xmas06Flyer.pdf Spread the word to all.

They often do this in new sections of U-Bahn n German cities believe it or not. I know Munich and Dortmund have definitely held U-parties in newly bult stations just before the official opening to service! I believe Student Unions hire them out sometimes for a one off novelty.

Yes, but there they hold the parties in the stations, not somewhere far away in the same city.

You can hire one of the derelict tube stations in London complete with an old train in situ. It is mainly used as a film set.
