Cork CHRISTMAS BEERS! 18th December!

kingtut

Well it has come time to organise our Christmas piss-up meetup!

Please pick a date in the poll and the most popular wins! There are lots of dates to choose from which may seem extreme but from past experience there are two types of people; those who hate last minute beers and those who hate having to wait for weeks for them!

So vote vote vote!

Use this thread to bring up your ideas / suitable places.

Non-drinkers, I'm more than happy to head somewhere else beforehand if you want to, pool, bowling, ice-skating etc (if you want to contact me anon then send me a private message).

Also, if anyone needs my number drop me a pm.

I won't be in Cork over Christmas but have a good meet-up!

I just voted the 18th, because it's the week after the AH beers.

I will have to wait until closer to the that it is actually on til I know if I will go! But assuming I have money, I will!!

No, I wouldn't do that in Cork!

Hmm.. Strangely enough this might actually be the only beers I could possibly attend. Does it count if I'm not actually from Cork? :eek:

Of course not, sure 90% of people in this forum are not from Cork (including me!), off the top of my head I cannot recall more than 2 native cork people being at any of the cork beers that I have organised!! Are you based in Cork these days?

Where do you usually go for the beers? - I change my vote! Up for any night as I live in town anyway! silly me!

Even though xmas exams also start in colleges and other work parties might go on closer to xmas..

They can get messy. You know well from the last when I couldn't get up until 3pm.

kingtut

Thursday 17th Dec

So...

9 people voted for the 4th, 12 for the 18th!

If you voted for either of those dates now is the time to confirm that you still want to go! If there is enough demand we will have christmas beers both nights, otherwise it looks like it will be on the 18th...

If you have not voted then please do so, all welcome!

If you are new to these meetups and need a contact number please feel free to send me a private message and I'll give you a mine.

I always recommend getting someone's number before a meetup, unless you like wandering around asking randomers if they are from boards :pac:

If you are in the list for the 4th can you confirm that you are still going? I'll ask the same thing for the 18th closer to the time. Oh and now is the time to start suggesting venues and the meeting time. Around 8ish suits me and I'll go anywhere, I like the 12 christmas's idea that someone else came up with!

There are a number of other dates that 5/6 people have voted for, a lot of these people are new to the cork meetups, if you are one of those people and still want to head out one of the notes perhaps post it here and see who is still up for it? I wouldn't mind head ice skating some evening if anyone cares to join me?
