Next Meet up

Moonbeam

Hey folks,

The turnout at the last one was far from great but it is still probably time to organise another one.

Do Saturdays or Sundays suit better?
North,South,East, West or central Dublin?
Suggestions?

Based on this we can have a poll.

People outside Dublin,feel free to organise a more local meet up.

lolli

I'm defo going to this one Any day suits me. I'll drive to anywhere except Dublin City Centre

How Strange

We're def def going to this one! Saturdays suit us best as we do swimming classes on a Sunday.

How Strange

We can travel so wherever suits most people.

January

I will walk over hot coals to make this one! North Dublin or City Centre suits me best... if it's a Saturday then anywhere...

Moonbeam

We should probably try facilitate the people travelling to Dublin as best we can.
I will have a look around and see if I can find any child friendly places that can facilitate us that won't cost us a fortune!!

wolfpawnat

Well it is clear that Saturdays are best. Aido and I travel as far as public transport will allow so we are as flexible as that!!! We are South side, but we are willing to travel!!!!

Moonbeam

26th and 27th of Nov are an impossibility but open to suggestions of all other dates.

How Strange

We're away on 12th nov but free all other Saturdays

lonestargirl

Thanks for the offer, but i don't have a carseat in Dublin, I can try and check with friends if they have a spare though.

Sleepy

I'm a maybe. Northside of Dublin, northside of Dublin myself but can travel fairly handy.

cbyrd

well seeing as i have a few saturdays off in november i should be able to make this one and i'll have the new baba in tow

Lola92

We'll try to make it, depends on the date though - has anyone suggestions?

Moonbeam

Sat the 12th Nov?

How Strange

We won't be here but if it suits everyone else. It's impossible to find a date to suit everyone.

January

Any date really suits me... so I'm in for whatever

Moonbeam

12th doesn't suit me either,I forgot!

I will find a few dates and put up a poll!

Orion

October is pretty much out for me. Working 8th and 15th. Possibly the Sundays too. 22nd is a contingency date for work. And 29th I'll be away. November is pretty free tho.

How Strange

I'm bumping this up. Hopefully we can find a date that suits everyone. From 20th nov we're free on Sundays as we're doing an earlier swimming class.

Hi, what is this...a parent and baby meet-up type of thing? Id be interested if thats what it is. I have a 4month old.....

Moonbeam

yup:)

I am trying to find a suitable venue,will update you soon.

qwertytlk

Cool. Thanks, sounds like fun!

lolli

Please not the weekend of the 4th Nov I'll be in Dublin for the weekend but I won't have Saoirse with me!

Moonbeam

That weekend suits me too:)

Dublin city/north side/south side?

A play zone or any other ideas?

Are many of you on public transport?

Orion

I won't be going to any place like Playzone in Celbridge. I'd go to this meetup to meet other parents and be able to chat. In places like that you can't hear yourself think.

I rather meet up in somewhere like Merrion Square and then the dead zoo. Or just the dead zoo if it's raining and tea and cakes in the cafe there.

Moonbeam

I will have a look in to it.
Is there loads of room for buggies?

Orion

I haven't been there in a while. There's only two floors and there's a lift iirc. Buggies are ok iirc.

Moonbeam

we had one of the meets in Debenhams cafe before but all the buggies caused issues!

Anyone please suggest venues:)

How Strange

IMMA has a huge space in the back room in their cafe and there's always toys for kids to play with.

Moonbeam

http://www.imma.ie/en/index.htm on Saturday the 5th Nov is my suggestion then:)

Davidth88

You might want to check their website , the main building is closed from Nov 1st , not sure if that would effect ya

How Strange

I just looked at their website and the cafe is still open

lolli

Rach! You took me up wrong.. I'll be in Dublin... but i WONT have Saoirse with me Unless I take my mam up with me and she can mind Saoirse for me while I go to the RHCP Concert

lonestargirl

Saturday 5th suits me.

How Strange wrote: »

The fact that the main museum is closed might mean that the cafe is quieter than usual too?

lolli

My two no-nos were the City Centre & the 5th November so thats me & Saoirse out. Have a great time.

Moonbeam

Sundays suit me! I live in Wexford and I would be driving to any meets. I would drive to anywhere in Ireland except for Dublin City Centre

Not fussy on location only weekend I can't do is Halloween as getting wisdom teeth out

wolfpawnat

I am up for any day any weekend!!!!

Morag

The meet up is not just for the kids, it's also for the parents, if your little one is with her dad, pretty sure that won't exclude you from coming along.

Alone time is study time, just started college so like to do homework etc when she's gone. Also feel awful guilty meeting other babies without her as she loves kids

Moonbeam

wolfpawnat
