Well by the looks of it we will have maximum numbers in Birr on the Saturday so I'll organize the draw then.

Anyone reccomend a good pub in Birr for the saturday night ??

Davy

BTW For me a good pub is somewhere I can get a decent pint of Guinness a Seat and maybe a bit of live music.

No crowds, No thump thump thump, No Alcopops

Maybe, I don't know yet.

getting a seat in a pub in Birr that Saturday? dubious

Well lads enjoy the fair and hoist one for me. I am playing at being a tourist - Estonia & St Petersburg in a week or two.

The Thatch in Crinkle, about a mile outside Birr on the Roscrea road, "a decent pint of Guinness a Seat ? and maybe a bit of live music."

Dusty87

Have to agree. The thatch is a good oul spot. www.thethatchrahan.com/

They have some great bands there. Sharon Shannon and big band were there a couple of months ago.

I think that's the wrong Thatch or at least if it's not it's a long bloody mile from Birr

Dusty87

Your right sorry. Never been to the thatch in crinkle.

No worries mate ... It'd be a fair stagger back to the Hotel from that pub I reckon

Atmosphere & good food.

Right folks Just to give you an update on the Birr Show.

The folks at the show have been very kind and have invited me to the Show on 22nd and 23rd. They have allowed me a 6ft table to show my knives and have given me space in the area where their magazine is going to be. There's also a possibility that our knife might be included in the magazine so that would be very nice.

Since I'll be there both days and since the larger number of you will be there on the Saturday I thought it best to make the draw for the knife on Saturday afternoon sometime or perhaps Saturday evening in a local bar.

I still need the knife for the show on Sunday. So I can send it on by post the following day, Monday once I have the correct postal details for the winner. The winner of the knife will have to contact me via PM so that I can put an actual name and address to the boards username.

I will have 3 or 4 of the Sealgaires and a few other knives for sale from my table over the weekend if anyone is interested. You are all welcome to drop by the table for a chat in any case.

Regards

Davy

One week left till the draw for the knife.

Thanks to all who participated so far.

There are 641 tickets in the draw basically everyone who posted got a ticket in the draw and each post was counted as one ticket. It will just be a basic raffle ticket with a number on it that's drawn on the day and I'll match that with the following list to see who won. I will draw a reserve ticket also in case the winner fails to contact me or fails to prove that they are over 18.

hi davy will hopefully make it the saturday ,looking forward to seeing the knife its a beaut!:D an meeting some the lads regards mark.

davymoore

Yes, Sat 22nd only

Just so there is no confusion on the day. I'll clear something up now..

I wound up buying 2 books of raffle tickets.
Each book only contains 500 tickets.
One book of PINK tickets
One Book of White tickets

PINK Tickets will be counted as ticket numbers 1-500
WHITE Tickets will be counted as ticket numbers 501-641

For example

If the ticket drawn is PINK 125 then the winner would be ticket number 125 on the above list
If the ticket drawn is WHITE 125 in this case the winner would be 625 on the above list

Hope this makes sense

Sorry I won't be able to make it to the fair, would have been a good day/days, would have liked a chance to see and hold the knives... who knows though, with a lot of luck I might end up with one... hahaha:D
