January Cork Meetup Thread

wispyman

I know people are probably still nursing hangovers but I figured we might as well have the thread here for when people sober up!

So anyone who wants to organise or suggest things to do please feel free.......

Ms RiRi

Im new here but am looking forward to meeting new people in cork.
Im assuming you guys meet up for drinks etc.......
would be keen for some get to know everyone activities in particular!

Ghost Estate

maybe an outing to a nice quiet pub or something. or is now a good time for a non-drinking occasion? since everyone's still recovering

The bowling in the Mardyke was fun the last time. A few drinks in advance helps a lot with the game

Blitzkrieger

Well it doesn't make me any worse

I'm back on weekends already (htf did that happen so quick?) so would definitely be interested in activities that don't involve drinking. Cinema outing to see the Green Hornet and a couple of coffees/drinks after?

If we get enough (Around 20-30 IIRC), Mahon Point do private cinema screenings, but they're usually mornings, so it'd be a sat morning/sun morning. Probably a non-starter.

that is a brilliant idea!

I'd totally be up for Bowling,haven't been in years! I'd prefer something more sociable than cinema tbh, though I do love going to the flicks

Yeah I agree with panda100. While the cinema idea is certainly one I never thought about (yes Paintdoctor I acknowledge your wisdom on that) personally I like meetups where you can actually chat and have a bit of a laugh and maybe bowling has more of that.

Hi id be interested in joining group on the occasion of the next meet if that's possible. Was wondering too as to what the dynamic of the group is age wise?? I'm in my late 20s myself so was just curious really.

gizdai

Hi everyone!! I'd be interested in comin along to whatever ye arrange aswell and was wondering do ye mind newbies tagging along??

Newbies are the life blood of Boards meetups!! Without them numbers would fall over time as people move on. There are always the "hard core" that turn up to most events.

Age is not a problem but be aware that the average age would be late 20's I would think. I'm 35 and don't feel like an old fart at these meetups

Come along - what have you got to lose???

Isotonic

Cheers Wispy count me in so.

gizdai

Sounds good!! Count me in too!!!

mariebeth

Think I might join ye as well whenever ye decide to meet up

Great stuff. Sounds like we should organise something with all this interest from so many new faces.

I'm not really up for organising dinners or bowling as it really is hard work (I have nothing but respect for Cadyboo, Kingtut and others who HAVE done this) but will happily organise a pub/drinks meetup.

pow wow

Count me in. :pac:

wispyman

Ok,

As there seems to be no other firm plans I propose:

Sat 15th January - Boards Beers Meetup

Starting at the Old Oak at 20.30 and then heading onwards as the mood takes people.

Anyone who is interested and likely to attend please speak up and say so. Assuming at least four or five will come it should work out.

katie24

Another newbie...!

Is it cool just to show up?

Of course you can!! This is not some formal club with a membership requirement. Assuming this goes ahead anyone who wants can PM me for a contact number so there is no risk of arriving and not finding the group.

At the end of the day its only a few drinks in the pub - nothing too scary or stressful

Hi CarrieC,

Don't mind all the loonies on here :rolleyes: - it goes with the territory.

We can have a meetup as long as a few people commit to going. So who is actually interested in going? Please SPEAK UP!

So to recap - the proposal is:

Sat 15th January - Boards Beers Meetup

Starting at the Old Oak at 20.30 and then heading onwards as the mood takes people.

gizdai

count me in!!:)

panda100

I should be around for this and may actually arrive sober and early this time

If anyone doesnt want to walk in by themselves or can't find the place then do send me a pm and we can arrange to meet outside.

Ms RiRi

Count me in!!!!

Cadyboo

Hi, I just want to write this post to set some things straight about boards meet ups.
They are open to everyone and anyone, and its always a, the more the merrier approach. Obviously there will be people who come to a meet up and find they have nothing in common with the people there, however, everytime there is a meet up, there are nearly always new, different people at them.
We are a welcoming bunch, and remember we all had our 'first time'.
So please dont be put off by what other posters write in the forum. Everyone is different.
Looking forward to seeing people soon!!! :)

Owen
