team event scrapped ?

maybe look at €200 for sunday, becomes a ranking event for the gjp thing thus ensuring that more visitors stay down for it.

are you booking the usual place for us ?

Hi Danny,
When I run a team event, I want it to be the main event. If I put it on the Friday nite, it wouldnt have the same effect. I'll run the team event in the Autumn sometime.

I dont have a problem with changing it Nicky, I let it up for a couple of days and see what everyone else thinks.

mewso

I'll be there Connie. What time will the sat kick off? Might head down for that too.

Doc Farrell

woohoo!

any chance you could mention the hotel rates like i think you did the last time, and maybe phone numbers too?

i met a young wain, any chance you could suggest somewhere nice?

careca

Unfortunately, most weekends during the summer will have some sort of important GAA fixture that people wish to watch / attend. You just have to make a choice...

I can't wait to get down to Killarney with the Dublin jersey on .....Count me in more than likely Con and vote +1 for Sunday as a €200 event.

Doc Farrell

i'm taking the time off work and driving down on the Friday so i may have a couple of seats for anyone who wants to share the petrol bill and doesn't have b.o. i guess i'll be leaving dublin about 10am. a strong tolerance for middle of the road music required.
coming back on the monday.

Hi Careca,
Yeah, I know they're on, large flat screen installed so the players dont miss the action. Hope thats ok.

Doc Farrell

Connie any chance you could name a quiet hotel with reasonable rates and gimme their number?

i know its the most expensive week of the year....

I'm in touch with a few hotels at the moment trying to get the best deal I can for you all. A lot of them are getting back to me this evening or tomorrow morning so I'll post details as soon as I have them.

As I've posted elsewhere, August is a very busy month in the hotel industry (especially here in Killarney). The town will be packed around the time of the festival which should make it very enjoyable for you guys coming down.

Doc Farrell

you the man connie!

I've already taken the days from my work diary to go down. If you want me to pay in advance I can. I have a feeling the hotel prices will be horrendous so anything you can do for three nights, preferably a double bed, would be bloody marvellous.
I'm not sure if i phrased that as well as i could have but you know what i mean.

i hope you still have a snooker table down there, i've never been, and if you can get Steve Davis to come along, all the better! i'll bring the chess book he wrote to see if i can get an autograph!

Hi Doc,
I take it your looking for a single room with a double bed? I,ll have the details tomorrow.
And I dont think theres any luck on the steve davis front, he;s in the USA at the moment and as far as I know the China masters is on that time in August so that'll rule him out.

Yep,still have 3 snooker tables and 2 pool.

mormank

hey connie. hoping to make it down for this one too. nice to play again in the only place i have a 100% record...then again if id like to keep it...ya i will be there and i hope to bring at least one car load!!

Fair play Connie. As a kerryman I would really love to get down home and play in this, but I missed the Munster final and would hate to miss another one. I promise I'll make it sooner rather than later as I know its great craic there.

I'm sure you'll get a full house anyway. Best of luck.

Degag

Ha, Puck Fair is on that weekend too, soo i'd say i'll be missing it...

Ouchies Connie. I'm already committed to playing the GJP game. . Would defo be there otherwise.

Sorry to hear you'll be missing Nicky, you'll be missed.

On the clash of dates with GJP, I asked Dev to suggest a week-end that suits most and thats the week-end he selected along with it being the choice of others on the boards thread. I didnt realise it was clashing.

caoimh36

Wont make it down for ME unfortunately Connie due to a family wedding in that god forsaken place Dublin on Friday! Might make it down for Sundays game but if not best of luck with it, I'm sure it'll sell out. FYI maybe u could get down to the Macau monthly on 2nd Aug to let all the players who dont read boards know bout the weekend - hope to see u there.

Doc Farrell

connie, any luck with that hotel special?
any insider knowledge would be much appreciated.
i'll try to root out the old thread you had with hotel details.

peak season in killarney so every place is expensive but this hotel usually has the best rates in town.

connie is probably trying to get a good rate someplace so recommend ringing the club first...

Doc Farrell

DeVore

Connie, apologies for not spotting the clash but then its almost impossible not to clash with something these days. In a fit of traitorism I'll be down to your event (I'm in Vegas, any chance you could reserve a hotel room for me?)
Pity about the Team Event but I think you are right.

Just checked August 10th - 12th and it comes up with options/prices etc. suggesting it is available. Is it after that you get the booked out message?

Connie you can put me down as 1 of those 90.

connie147

Allready done Brian. Look forward to seeing you.

Doc Farrell

Connie can you put me down for a ticket too for the Saturday game.

Thanks for the Holiday Inn info. may be bringing someone down who would like somewhere nicer so i'll hold off booking a room for a few days.

Muso, thanks for that info. d.
