LGBT forum Coffee meeting - THIS SATURDAY

baby and crumble

Ok guys, here we go. Planning and voting for the time of the coffee/tea morning in the Tea Garden on the quays. I have allowed multiple choice so if you're free on all options, say so. The place only opens at 3pm hence the poll options. I've also allowed public posting so I can know who's down to come. I hope that's ok. I need to have a guide for numbers so I can book a space.

Here is general info on the Tea Garden: http://www.tea-garden.eu/

Here is their menu: http://www.tea-garden.eu/menu.html

Here is a map of their location: Map

I can't make Friday at all as I've volunteered to collect for Special Olympics Day and I haven't got my slot yet, so I can't confirm anything.

Fixed dates - all were off by 1.

Evenings and Saturday early or afternoon suit me. At work during the day.

Same here, Im not from Dublin, and Im guessing a few others arent either including Tahitiisland who made the original post, so that might be a bit late in terms of getting buses or whatever back down the country!

Also I voted for the wrong time! so you can discount that!
But anytime really is good for me as long as its not too late in the evening

Tahitiisland

im with jayjay, i was hoping it would be a morning time!!!, im more of a meet early/late morning leave early afternoon person!!

i know though everyone might have work and that! so , akward! but glad i can be of help to come up with the idea,

if its possible to get a morning coffee/tea whatever!! going im more than there!,
thanks anyway

what about saturdays - for those that work?
i know its impossible to find a day / time that would be ok for everyone but sure we can try... if some people prefer mornings maybe we can do two meets, one t the tea garden and another another day at eg. the coffee area in stephens green s.c (its large) and could be earlier at eg 12 or maybe thats complicating it a bit much....

Is this just a girly get together or can anyone come?

It's aimed at members of this particular LGBT forum not all of whom identify themselves as "girly"

I'd lurve to turn up (non-girlys unite!) but it looks like it's going towards the Saturday, the only weekend for months I've been able to go home to Scotland. So assuming it does end up there, hope you all have a great time

Ok folks, looks like Saturday is the winner, and it's neck & neck for early and late... but judging from some of the comments earlier might be better for people coming up for the day from outside Dublin.

How does 2pm on Saturday sound? We can meet somewhere easy and then walk down together if it's easier for people?

Asry

actually, Saturday is good for me too.

Sounds good to me - particularly because both the Leinster match and El Clásico are on in the evening.

Saturday 16th April late (8pm-11pm)

Are we ok for 2pm this coming Saturday at the Tea Garden? I only suggested it because it's got a good mix of things to drink and it's a cool space, but I'm happy to move it elsewhere.

I can't make it. Do you want me to edit the thread title though?

baby and crumble

Oooh, Johnny that would be fabbo. (you changing the title, not that you can't come!!)

Aishae

Friday 15th April Early Evening (5- 8 pm)

if people are still going im going - i was planning on turning up but fully intending to be the only one there but sure the tea garden sounds interesting

baby and crumble

Saturday 16th April late (8pm-11pm)

I'm well up for it too... so will we say 2pm at the tea garden? If people are nervous just showing up or whatever pm me and i'll send on my number so you can check you're in the right place/ want to meet before hand.

Aishae

Friday 15th April Early Evening (5- 8 pm)

Asry

I ran out of black bin liners to dump the body. Not to worry. :pac:

i was having a look at the site there - - kept thinking someone said they dont open till 3 but the site said
Monday to Thursday: 3.00 pm to 11.00 pm
Friday, Saturday, Sunday: 1.00 pm to 11.00 pm

so thats grand we can meet 2ish

ha... i was a bit afraid of what yous would make of the walking stick. i promise not to hit anyone with it :pac: its a lovely sparkly one. i dont 'do' standard

was also looking at he menu - im not into fruit teas and i tried macha before n didnt like it. though i like jasmine tea. i see they have an irish cream tea which has a splash of whiskey and cream in it - that sounds lovely, they say it tastes like vanilla-ish
yum yum

baby and crumble

Saturday 16th April late (8pm-11pm)

yeah, on the weekends they open earlier, which is handy.

I just remembered though, there's a spiral staircase leading down into the place, and you have to go through a kind of curtain... if anyone has mobility issues let me know, I should have said that earlier, sorry my head's not with it!

Aishae

Friday 15th April Early Evening (5- 8 pm)

haa jaysus its a good job i reckoned id better not use the walking aid i usually do. a stick is grand for short walks - which it is from the bus. not a worry there

im still thinking warm thoughts about that tea.....

baby and crumble

Saturday 16th April late (8pm-11pm)

the tea is pretty awesome there, I had the "winter fairytale" there once... It made me happy.

Ah, no, half the fun of boards meetups is feeling like you're a superhero with an alter ego!!!

Hope you all have a good time tomorrow

Saturday 16th April late (8pm-11pm)

I'll be in Dublin tomorrow, so I'll be trying my best to come along :P

baby and crumble

Saturday 16th April late (8pm-11pm)

hey guys, just an update, we have the 'big room' upstairs in the tea garden booked (ooooOOOooooh), it's under my name, so if we're not there outside when you arrive, just ask for the booking for "zoe".



I'll be waiting outside from about 1.50 ish just to meet people and then we can head in. So if you see a very gay looking woman with shortish curly hair and black rimmed glasses looking shifty outside the tea garden, well... that'll be me!

Wish I could go I'm working all day Saturday.

just back myself - was a nice meetup! damn nice tea too - ill defo go there again. i forgot half of what we were on about, but it was good. the chat about tea was great - esp the 'will travel for tea' aspect! (im getting ideas of traveling to india for tea now!)

Kanoe

sorry couldn't make it (beer+lackofsleep).. please do this again soon, I really want to meet everyone/people/stuff. (or beer would be good too)

baby and crumble

Saturday 16th April late (8pm-11pm)

I liked that it wasn't beery, that's just me though. Will prob go to the next beers alright though.

And as for the travelling for tea, I don't think I mentioned that new(ish) place off grafton street that has like, a BAZLLION teas you can buy, it's called Palais de The... You can get really cool ones for drinking at home. They do lots of white & red teas, that's more my style. The tannins in the black ones make me sick.
