ziedth

Taken for the Karting thread, Anyone interested? for all future organising please refer to my sig :D.

Would have to be a weekend for me being a prisioner of cork during the week and I've a fairly hectic couple of weekends coming up but I'll be ok from middle/end of novermber on.

Any thoughts?

Boards Beers Confirmed::

Where? Downes' pub,
When? Saturday November 7th, 8:00pm,
Who can attend? Everyone welcome!

There will be no go-karting for this event, plans are in motion to arrange for another date where we head out and do the go-karting in Kiltorcan.

seanybiker

What pub ya going to?

Typhoon.

Ita Mordants

Cabaal

Downes?

nkay1985

Yep, I think I'm reading everyone's shít long enough to want to put a face to ye.

Reckon the pub has to be somewhere quiet enough. Downes' or somewhere like that?

EDIT: Seems Cabaal and myself are on the same page anyway.

ziedth

Downes also sounds good to me, Anyone want to venture a date?

I'm going to sound a bit of a geebag but i'm free Friday the 6th but not untill saturday the 28th after that. I guess the 28th would give everyone ample time to orgainse for it.

Sully

Sure. Geoffs it is then, ya?

seanybiker

nkay1985

6th is a Friday yeah? Wonder what time they open until.

Think I've a night out on the 6th so 7th would be better for me.

ziedth

I'm not sure will I actually do the karting either but for the moment anyway I might but for ease we'll say the 7th In Downes at say 8ish?

Lets just say last time I did grand prix with a load of mates/mates friends and I was getting lapped by teenage girls. I prob will do it TBH but i'm going along at my own pace and if i can at all I'm going to ram Sully for his Geoffs comment :pac:

mufcboy1999

Sully

Right well if we can get a rough number, we can try confirm karting and maybe they will open at a special rate for us Boarsdies.

The last beers we had was a good craic!

Ya good Idea, so i'm def on for beers and karting.

I guess after this whoever says they are on after this put the total tally in their message?

So for example:

Confirmed 1.

Next person starts their message with "Confirmed 2" if they are going and so on?

Unless anyone can think of a better way, its been a long ass day and my brain is fried.

Oh and lassykk, you may eat those words ive lost like 3 stone since then so I expect to be as quick as eddie irvine :pac::pac::pac::pac: Course that still leaves another 18 stone of me weighing down the kart

Sounds like a grand system to me.

Confirmed 2.

Sully

Confirmed 1 (the lads will add their own name to the list im sure).

(Topic title updated and forum announcement made)

To make up the numbers, how about we invite the UpTheDeise folk?? Any idea on costs yet?

One of us misunderstood Ziedth's system anyway. I thought he meant to write Confirmed, then the number that you are to confirm. So he was Confirmed 1, I was Confirmed 2 etc.

AdMMM wrote: »

I don't care who comes along. Would be great if it wasn't only 3 or 4 of us there!


Has anyone been onto the lads who run this place to find out what their setup is like? How many can they take? Do they have timing equipment? Do they do it like the Grand Prix event in Kiltorcan etc?

ziedth

yes that was my plan nkay but even as i was writing it i knew i wasn't explaing it. Screw it just say if your in or out and we can count it up then. Not as if we're gonna get 100 people going, so thats 3 confirmed so far for karting and couple interested in meeting up after for the beers should be a laugh. I would suggest someone maybe ring this crowd tomorrow and see what story is? Grand prix style would be laugh but if its just bombing around for the hour then all the better cause you might not notice when i'm dead last

Yeah, true. As long as I get to tear around a track and have at least one good crash, I'll be happy. If I get time tomorrow I'll give them a shout and see what the lie of the land is.

Can make the beer in Downes but not the karting as in work.

ec18

if it's after 1 i'm confirmed for the karting and the beer

AdMMM

Looks like I'm around for this anyway. Work gave me the week off!

Lovely. That puts us at 5 by my count. Didn't get a chance to ring them at the weekend but will try to do it tomorrow.

Cabaal

I'm out lads,
Will be up in Dublin on Sat so its a no go for me, shame as its been years since I went to a boards.ie Waterford gig

kryogen

Karting is a bit iffy but im definatly on for the beers!

what pub ye going to? actually in case im not around for the next couple of days (missus is due to give birth)! can someone pm me with the final details?

or just post em up in nice big writing that i can see

nkay1985

Right so. I was just on to the lad about the karting.

Prices are €30 for a half hour, €50 for an hour.

I asked do they do it like the Grand Prix up in Kiltorcan and he siad that they kind of can. He basically said you each go around one car at a time to decide the qualifying, then line up and race.

But, if I'm honest, he didn't seem to really have a clue what he was talking about. It all sounded very unprofessional and I wasn't at all impressed when talking to him. He didn't really sound interested in getting the business!

So I just compared it to Kiltorcan and for the same €50 you get the proper Grand Prix with all the gear, timing equipment and marshals etc.


My proposal is that we scrap the karting for Saturday but go ahead with the beers. Then try to organise karting in Kiltorcan sometime in the new year. You need a minimum of 10 for the Grand Prix so we could open it up to the Kilkenny forums or something if we couldn't get numbers ourselves, although I think we would if people had a bit of notice.

What does everyone think?

Opening it up to the Kilkenny forum makes sense if the carting is going to be in Kiltorcan, ok not everyone might head for the beers after but atleast you'd get the carting

Yep, that's what I was thinking. And I was actually only thinking of the karting as a stand-alone thing but we could easily do another beers. It'd be good to have them once or twice a year seeing as so many of us spend so much time on here!

ziedth

that sounds like a much better idea. Just beers it is so?

AdMMM

Sounds good to me either way. Don't care where we go either because we'll be part of a group and hopefully be able to liven up even the quietest of pubs

Odats

Suits me down to the ground also. Should be good craic and take my mind off these damn tax returns:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Sully

Fine by me. Doesn't Kiltorcan do group rates anyway? Funny how a poor sales man can turn you away

ziedth

coolie,

i guess around 8ish in downes so seems to be the idea for those out there who haven't bothered reading all the posts . Should be a good laugh! Now it had occured to me how are we going to "meet" in downes? I can imagine us looking like we're internet dating if we wonder around asking people are part of boards.ie

My suggestion would be anyone who wants to PM me and i'll give you my mob and just throw me a text and i'll let you know where I/we are. I'm on the mobile site for the next few days so they'll be noreplys till friday but I will get back to you then.

Yeah I couldn't even call this guy a bad salesman because that would be doing bad salesmen a disservice!

The €50 in Kiltorcan is a group rate (as in over 10 people) but I think that they gave us a discount (~€5 a head) before when there was a group of 20 of us going.

@Sully: Maybe you could put the details in the announcement? Something like "Waterford Boards Beers: Downes' pub, Saturday November 7th, 8:00pm. Everyone welcome!" so that we could bring it to the attention of people who just skim over the forum?

beazee

I am the one for a karting. Let me know when.
As for the beers - busy weekend, i'm out
