FEBRUARY Meet Up !!!

kingtut

It is the first of Feb so it is time for the February thread!
The plan for this month is to have two events - there is a combined poll for the two events:

1) Pool competition in the Mardyke (where food and alcohol is available). It's just a bit of fun so does not matter if you have not played before or think you are not very good , join in any way! Rules will come later. Thinking of having this next week if possible....

2) An evening meal, maybe in the last week of February? Please use the poll to vote for the type of food you like, we can use the results to determine what place we go to closer to the time.

Let the discussions commence (can a mod please unsticky the January thread and sticky this one instead? Thanks!)

Still in Galway unfortunately
(meeting folks off the net :rolleyes:, weird or what)


(only joking folks )

I'll do either (both) as long as the dates suit.

For the pool, can we play 9-ball?

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be into pool or dinner, I'm afraid. Pool - it bores the pants off me, I was a youth worker for 5 years and that's all I ever did! As for dinner, don't forget, some of us are still out of work so money's tight...

is it possible to get a "beers" only option in the poll? Apologies in advance Kingtut, not trying to steer off course!

The Mardyke has beer and pool, you don't have to play if you don't wish to, should have added an option to the poll though sorry. Can a mod add that option if there is one out there? Pretty pleaseeeeeeee

Anyone else going to vote? It is a tie between chinese and pub grub at the moment....all are welcome!! What night suits people for dinner and for playing pool?

realtin8

You forgot a food type, I'll post and tell you what it is.

For the people who said they were up for dinner:

Does Friday 19th or Saturday 20th suit you? Most events are on during the week but I thought dinner would be better suited to a weekend!

Edit - Increased dates by a week due to this weekend being Valentine's weekend, thanks RoverJames!

I could have been tempted for a Friday night grub session, bad weekend for it though, the big V and whatnot.

Nope, a weekend will very rarely suit me (I go back to Kerry weekends to see my son)

Pub grub is still in the lead for dinner! What day suits people the best?

I'd prefer a Friday but Thursday if that's not possible. Clancy's is always good for pub grub.

Glico Man

Well I'm interested cos I'm trying to set one up for CIT but that looks like its a dead duck so would be very much up for this. Missed the last one cos I didn't know it was on.


I'm up for anything and anywhere*






*within reason of course

Hey there, any updates? Pool is fine with me (I suck at it, but still enjoy a game!)

kingtut

Lets get this finalised! Starting with pool - does Wed 24th / Thu 25th suit people for pool?

9 people voted for pool:
kingtut, mik_da_man, nursemar88, oeb, ReacherCreature, save_our_socks, stevefinn, Webmonkey, Ziedth.

Remember the Mardyke is a bar so even if you do not want to play pool please still come along for a few drinks, a lot of craic (the healthy kind!) and lots and lots of chat

kingtut

I am not interested in playing pool.

Most popular choice for dinner was Pub Grub, I am thinking a Saturday would be nice for this. How does Saturday 20th / 27th suit people?

7 people picked pub grub:
440Hz, GERMAN ROCKS, kingtut, mik_da_man, nursemar88, oeb, YourSQL

If the suggested dates do not suit please post with the ones that do!
