Charlesland night out: 20th July 2007 - The Burnaby

foxy06

Hi everyone, Just want to get a few numbers for a night out in the cafe as suggested in another thread. Good way to meet your neighbours, especially if your a new arrival. Just post your interest and we will go from there. Also a few suggestions of which night suits most would be helpful and a few suggestions on how this should be organised.

Thanks:D

would have to be a friday or saturday as the cafe opens late those nights.
Definite interestX2 here.

Just read the other thread, Great Expectations.

Definitely a great idea to use the cafe for an evening meet and greet and also to BYO drink! I reckon a Friday or even a Saturday would be great. Pop a couple on the list here.

+2 depending on dates!

LMC

Fair play to you Foxy06 for organising something. Definite interest x 3

Tomato

Nice one

Depending on dates (honeymoon in 3 weeks!) count me in x 2

Sparks115

Count me in if I can get a baby sitter - x2:D

lorrie

If it's a Friday or Saturday night we'd love a chance to meet some neighbours.

foxy06

OK folks going to decide on dates maybe tommorrow and I'd say maybe have it in three weeks or so to try and inform as many as possible but just want everyone to know that it will have to be cancelled or moved to a different venue if we can't drum up the numbers. So far it's 15 depending on dates which is pretty good I think. If anyone has any suggestions for the night it would be great to hear them!

I would love to hook up. We're former residents of Charlesland Grove and are living in Dublin at the minute until our new house in Charlesland Park is ready. Can't wait to get back!! Hopefully we'll be back in time for the get-together! (And the walks Foxy and Dublingirl if you're up for it )

Corkgal

Hi, just joined the site, looking for things to do/people to meet in area... would like to join in the cafe get together... Not a true Charlesland person, but just down the road in Delgany!

cuddydale

hopefully due to move into the park very shortly so if we are in would love to join you x2.

dubsgirl

yes I'd be interested too! (formerly dubgirl)
Neets & Foxy - looking forward to getting back to the walks!

vanillaice

moving into the park, last row.... will be in by mid/late feb if not to late, count me in x 2. cant wait

foxy06

Numbers are looking good now so I will post up more info tommorow night (date time ect.)
It will be great to meet everyone. Hope this goes well and if it does we could have it on a regular basis.

LMC

Hi Foxy06, Any news of the night out?

foxy06

sorry have not replied in a while but thought it might be better to leave it till the last few people were in the houses in the park. Thought that might be a good idea.

Good idea!

MrsJ

We are due to move in to CP in a few weeks all going according to plan, if we are - count us in x2.

Looking forward to it!

im not sure if the cafe is open late anymore - i went over to check their menu at the weekend and there was a sign saying that they no longer serve food in the evenings (not sure if that means theyre not open at all or if theyre only open for wine and coffees??)

GreenEyes

Hey there,

Been away most of January so only catching up on the latest news for meeting up. Think the cafe is shut in the evenings now, business must have been slow!

Has anything else been organised instead?

foxy06

Right everyone the lads in the cafe would be delighted to hold an evening for all the charleslandians and I was looking for some info before a definite date is set.
Would people prefer midweek or weekend?
How much per head would you all like to pay so they can decide what sort of food to put on and would you all like to bring your own bottle of wine or have it supplied included in the price?
Also I was thinking of having it on a ticket basis so we can get a definite idea of numbers as we were going to advertise it in superquinn too and some of the locals may not be familiar with the boards.
Any info would be really helpful as Iv'e never organised a thing in my life!!

mikedragon32

Hi Foxy, doing it on a ticket basis with the wine included may be the best way to go.

How would people feel about involving a local charity and any proceeds going to it?

Plenty

Well to mention a charity, the Greystones First Responder would be a very good candidate

That's if residents wish to nominate a charity at all

Can you count me in?

Thanks

Sparks115

Please include me x 2. Sounds like it could be a great night. I think finger food would be the way to go with wine included.;)

RebekahF

It sounds like a super idea and if people have to buy tickets (and the money go to Charity) folk may be a little more committed to coming and there will be a good idea of numbers ?!

Anyway, count me x2 in for wine & nibbles!

ps - perhaps a Saturday night? Less people have to get home from work etc..?

kirsten25

Count me in, I'm going Solo for all the singletons in Charlesland.

LMC

Count me in, any decision on a date?

foxy06

I'll have a date posted tommorrow night without fail! I was hoping to get a bit more info on preferred dates but I'll just pick one that suits the cafe and go from there

LMC

Thats probably the best idea, otherwise we could be here forever and never get a date that suits everyone! You can have a bottle or 2 all for yourself for organising everything!

foxy06

or 3!!

Maisy

O go on then, put me down, - quick, before I change my mind !!!

Rustypup

Hi there, did anything come of this 'Cafe Meeting'? If I haven't missed it, I'd be interested too....

GreenEyes

count me & the hubbie in also please if it is still going ahead...

tsukhija

I was looking for something like this only as we recently moved to Charlesland Park. Count me and my wife in as well.

Nope. Not yet.

No word from Foxy in ages either.

foxy06

Hey Mike I'm Back! Have had two house moves in the past few months and only got back online recently. I'm not in Charlesland anymore so I don't know if i'd be the right person for the job but I'm still in the cafe so if anyone would like to set this up I'll definitly help out if they still want it in the cafe.

IANAL (hullaballoo's test a/c)

Right, I've been watching this thread go nowhere, so I propose that we all meet up in The Burnaby at 7 next friday. Try to make it a special date where no other events obscure the night ahead of you. Try to book this in advance of any other night and make a special effort.

I know from other boards.ie beers that this can be tough to organise, but with a little bit of commitment, it can work like a dream.

So, The Burnaby at 7, on Friday 20th July. See you there.

(Incidentally, one of the bar staff there is hullaballú, so if you introduce yourselves, he'll sort you out.)

Edit: suggest a refresh of the title of this thread to something more definite so that people will go: "Charlesland Night out: 20th July 2007, The Burnaby" etc. would do the trick imo.

burnaby it is so!!! count me in and also the other half.

Title updated, hope all of you that make it have a great night.

Edit - can I suggest that someone books a table, or tells the barman where people asking for the Charlesland drinks should go.

Hammiepeters

Sorry didn't make it. How did it go? Are you going to do it again?

IANAL (hullaballoo's test a/c)

Don't think anyone actually went. I was there all night, and didn't hear anything about it! Ah well. Maybe next time!
