BGRH Recessionary Beers - Friday 22nd May - Karma Bar - Updated with note for Newbies

Zaph

Right, so we have a date, now to see how many people have decided that the recession will not impinge on their social life. A venue will be announced shortly, but now that we have a date we can start to get some numbers, so please indicate whether or not you'll be in attendance.

Karma Bar, Handels Hotel, Fishamble Street
Time - 5.30pm
Booked under the name of Brian Garry

Edit: Somebody forgot to mention Condensed Milk. Tut. Tut.

Tradition dictates that newbies must bring a can of Condensed Milk with them. No excuses.

Remember, it is for your own protection. Why? Answer here.

The taxman's taken all my dough, so I'm afraid I won't be there.

I'll be there - it'll be late as I'm gonna have to drive back from the wesht..

As has happened for the last umpteen beers, life is looking like trumping me again (I'm going to get a Walter mitty reputation on here!)
Anyhooos, my buddy in work has handed in his notice this week and will retire on the 22nd May. I've worked beside him for the last 18 years, so no way I'm missing his retirement do. I dont mind admitting to the brethern that I will miss him a lot, he has been an absolute howl to work with.
so, unless he wants to have his do on a different date, I am once again out for BGRH beers.





PS What's with the Bebo style name there young Zaph? Annoying the powers that be again?

-any age over 18
-both sexes
-depends on how many are going, see the poll up the top?
-most people will know each other from boards, moreso from the BGRH forum (that you're in now)
-just that this is a gathering of boardsies, usually fun, get to know others and mingle

Maybe, if I can rob a bank or two in the meantime.

Going to your first BGRH beers can be very scarry.
Best advice I can give you is:

GO!

PM one of the mods, or me, and they/I will meet you outside the venue, so that you don't have to walk into a room full of wierd stangers. They will also introduce you to a lot of the people there.

If you have an interest in drinking beer and having an enjoyable evening, you will not be dissapointed.

Brother Zaph was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to reserve an area in Karma for 25 to 30 people?

Next Friday. Great. Where?

Somebody had better decide where this is going to be or if we can book an area somewhere because Zaph is in danger of having a house party. And if that happens I think I'll be in trouble.

I'd decide only I have no idea where anywhere in Dublin is.

I have no problem whatsoever hosting a BGRH party in my house, but I think I should point out that only janeybabe will be invited
