Beers anyone?

muffler

It is planned to consume one or two pints next Friday night (July 30th). Town and venue has yet to be decided but I think we can run with the majority here.

Now Im not going to put up a poll but simply ask you all to confirm if you are available to meet up next Friday night and suggest a town and a pub of your choice but please bear in mind that it should be somewhere that's reasonably central and doesn't involve others having to travel an excessive distance.

I'll keep this open till Sunday and review it then and make a decision on the exact venue based on what suits the majority of people here.

Right I'll kick this off and say the twin towns would suit me but I dont mind traveling to Letterkenny or Donegal Town.

Thers a festival on in Dungloe up in the Rosses, could be worth a look?!

Donegal would suit me. Be back from Barcelona on Thursday 29th. Not sure my work hours yet for 30th but will keep in touch from Spain to see what the decision and craic is

"Oh no recession arond here"

I have three cans of lager here needing a home.. bought a pack to see if the collie would like it when the crowbanger was on.. But she would not indulge ( many collies enjoy a beer!!)

Hate waste and cannot take alcohol....

Maybe raffle them? Make a little for our wee babies in India!

30th is fine with me.
Letterkenny is the handiest, but willing to share a taxi with others.
I think a taxi to Ballybofey is about €50/€55 return - not too bad between 3 or 4 folks.

I'd split that

Count me in too, Ballybofey sounds like a plan, or maybe Biddies of Barnes to make it central to everyone? I have my personal taxi sorted this time (the girlfriend promised to bring me to the next one so i can join the festivities) so no need to worry about a taxi mrmac or dannie, we can lift you on the way through, and if its in biddies we could lift you too muffler....

Carrickman

Harps a playing Derry in Ballybofey next Friday so their will be a buzz around the town.

puffdragon

Mmmm! sounds like craic, maybe i'll make it , I'm going to a function in letterkenny earlier but I might get to the twin-towns in time .Any particular pub in mind or is it a "crawl"?

muffler

Right. Ballybofey it is. Say about 9 or so. That would leave us there before the crowd comes out of Finn park.

Does anyone have a particular pub in mind - music or no music?

I'm not bothered either way, you know that area better than anyone, no biddy's then?

muffler

We can indeed make it Biddy's if everyone's happy enough with that

smashey

I can't make this as it's wifey's birthday and I'll be at a nice restaurant in Derry.

muffler

A quick roll call and a final decision on venue.

So far the following have said they would be turning up:
muffler
mrmac
homer simpson
.17hmr
North_West_Art

And "maybe" from irish1967 and puffdragon.

I think danniemcq cant make it.

We can meet say in Bonners corner bar at 9 or if everyone wants we can meet in Biddy's at 9.

Can we get a few replies just to nail this down now please.

homer simpson

+1 for biddys, just think it'd be better as regards crowds too with the game ect being on, but bonnors will do grand if people prefear there!

I'll go wherever you're going, seeing as I'm getting a lift!

I'll leave it up to ye, although I think it may be better to stay in Bonners, as Biddys could be a bit quite. I have no idea what it's like there on a Friday night???

North_West_Art

irish1967

Me back from Spain but working tonight. Up early this morning too as the iPhone 4 is out today !! Could be and expensive weekend !

Have a great night folks. Will be thinking of ya!! Wish my workplace was more accessible then I could have suggested it as a venue

homer simpson

I've been trying to get in touch with MrMac to make arrangements for friday to no avail i will prob have to work lateish this evening and also tomorrow morning so im now down as a maybe and if i go prob wont stay long.

muffler

This isnt looking good lads.

Will we leave it till the 2nd half of August?

muffler

Just logged in a while ago and I dont see any other posts. I think, given the circumstances, its wiser to cancel at this stage as its only myself and .17hmr who would be there.

If we can arrange something again for around the middle/end of August we should have more participants.

.17hmr

good job for i got a phone call at five and well i would be either working untill very dark ,or be out very early in the morrning,ah well just wasnt ment to be next time may be.haha muffler looks like it tis your self, next time mate for sure take it easy till then.

homer simpson

Not a bother, would be touch and go if i could have made it tonight anyways.

North_West_Art

just checking in on boards to see the post mortum on tonights beers... I was playing a gig in Grange with Mirenda Rosenberg, quite a night's craic... mid to end of August sounds good for a re-schedule, looks like tonight wasn't to be

byte

Yes, might have better chance of attending, if mid-late August.

Biddys?
