Ladies Meet up; this Friday April 9th in the Cottage Bar

LadyMayBelle

Finally, the time has come.

Gonna post dates, and as suggested by other boardsies we include Thursdays.

All ladies welcome, 99% of us won't know anyone else anyway so we'll all be in the same boat.


*Posted twice but forgot poll last time can mods delete? Thanks!

I've never been out with boards before so I won't know anyone but I love the Cottage and I love tapas so that'd get my vote.

The 9th of April would work for me:)

None of these float my boat

Great idea! Voted for the 9th April but could do the Thursdays too if one of those dates is the most popular (would prefer a Fri or wkend as I'm in rehersals Tues and Thurs nights.)
Am assuming the first date should be March? Sorry!:D

LadyMayBelle

Good stuff. It's looking likely it's the Cottage bar for nibbles and drinks. nice timing too, my boy will be away starting work in London and I'll be missing him that weekend, plus I'll have just handed in two horrible essays:)

Dutchess

I only joined today so might not go to this one:o. But I'll be keeping an eye out for future meets.

Xiney

Bowling and possible drinks after

Well, if you change your mind you're welcome to tag along - none of us really know each other anyway :P

Dutchess

I'll make the pilgrimage from my rural part of the county for this! Can't wait to get me some chips with chilli mayo in the Cottage, had a going away party there before I moved abroad and ate myself to death on them, I won't subject all you strangers to seeing that :P

That chili mayo is amazing! I figured out how to make it, which was probably a bad idea

Well, see, I know the owners and once asked for loads of recipes, I regretted that when I realised how fat it would make me

Looks like April 9th and the Cottage Bar is a winner. I'll leave the poll up a little longer but unless something drastic happens we'll go with the plan..

Should we say anytime between 8-8:30pm for meet up?
People have the choice of tea/coffees or alcoholic beverages as well as tapas, nice, a little pricey but yum!
Debating reserving some seats as it is a friday night and busy, is that a bit much?

Lady Pennyworth,

you should deffo reserve the separate room to the left side from the entrance that our Book Club uses on Tuesdays. It is made for gatherings such as this (as long as it's not running to dozens of people...), we are very happy with it.

I may join you, actually!

Cottage Bar are kindly reserving two tables (for about 8-12 people I said) for us on that Friday at 8pm.

LadyMayBelle

(Maybe mods you can change the title of the sticky and merge these?)

The time has come, and the meet up will happen from 8pm on Friday 9th (this Friday) in the Cottage Bar in Salthill.

Info of the place:
http://www.winefoodbeer.com/Gallery.aspx?location=Cottage-Salthill

It's on street parking for those wanting to drive.
They have kindly reserved two tables but will ring me tomorrow to ask for numbers. I had said roughly 8-12 people...but let me know here if you could..

And for those of ye thinking 'oh will I?' or 'I don't know anyone, it's a bit weird'..sure it is but feck none of us know anyone else, and it's a nice shiny public place

So who's definetly coming? Oh, yes, I am

I'm in! I've got two other things to go to though so I won't be able to stay for the whole night (an engagement party in Wards in Salthill and my friends are up for the weekend so they'll prob want to head into town). If anyone that voted for the bowling in the original poll still wants to go bowling, I'd be up for that, either earlier than 8pm on Fri or sometime next week! Haven't gone bowling in yonks

Also, how do we know who's a boardsie and who's not? Should we all wear a flower or something? Will the name be on the tables?? Anyway, sorry for all the questions! Looking forward to meeting you all xx

I really wanna go but a guy I'm seeing from Dublin will be here this weekend.
I was thinking I could bundle him off to a pub nearby for a few hours and meet back up with him later. I'd really liek to meet some new people casue I'm not from here. He might think it's a bit odd but screw it!:pac:
So that's a yes from me (for a few hours at least)

LadyMayBelle

Bowling and possible drinks after

Bowling would still be great fun next week or something so count me in. The Cottage Bar is nicely located between town and salthill so everyone wins:-D How to notice boardsies eh? Ill bring my macbook:-D Well the tables will have 'reserved' on them and the people will look slightly unsure...

I have a massive cough so I'm not sure if I should go - frankly I feel absolutely fine but I don't want to pass on whatever I have. Google says it's Tuberculosis.

I reeeeeally want to go though.

Oh noes! Well, I'm sure everyone is pretty resilient.

I'm thinking if I suck on Halls constantly I shouldn't be coughing too much.

Dutchess

This could swing either way for me tonight, ladies. I'm in no mood to get to know new people at the moment, but that could be work talking. So I'll play it by ear tonight, see if I'm in that mindframe.

mashling

I'm really tempted to come along, ye all sound lovely. I'm such a big chicken when it comes to this stuff though
