DIT Forum - Boards Beers!

G_R

Poll to decide the date now included. Pick all dates that suit,then the that works best for most will win out.

The venue is not set in stone, but there have been no suggestions other than Karma. Discuss on thread if you have a different suggestion, and if needs be I'll throw up a different poll once the date is decided


Hey Everyone,

Following on from a suggestion in the Forum Improvements thread to get more of a community going, I'm gonna see that were I to arrange a boards beers for the DIT forum, first of all, who would come, secondly, where should we have it and thirdly, when should we have it.

So post here saying if you would like to come and where and when you'd like it to be on.

I'm gonna suggest Karma, it's really handy for Aungier and Kevin Street Students, and has good bus links for everyone else (9, 16, 16a, 83, 68?, 122) and it's close to the LUAS Green Line and all the busses round Stephens Green. As for a date, I'm not really fussed to be honest, so I'll let others post up suggestions for that.

Thanks everyone, hope loads of ye will come!

The 27 goes up the malahide road (handy for a lot of northsiders) and leaves you just at bishop street cross so its only literally 4 minutes away from Karma.

Yeah I'd defo be on for that! If you give me enough notice I can sort of a few free platters of food for us as well.

I might pop in for one or two but I'd be ridiculously nervous..

Its just the whole not knowing who people are.

I have a feeling I know who Voltwad is though

I never even thought of that. When i open up a thread to decide on a venue date I'll mention it for people to keep it in mind. Might not be any harm to have it later rather than sooner anyway, to make sure everyone has enough notice

Aisling(",)

True and people will be less tied up with festive stuff in january!

I'd be up for this, I don't know any of you or anything, but I'll tag along

How about the week before classes start? Exams will be over too.

handiest thing is stick up a poll with a few dates. then another with a few venues-or starter pub and we can decide on the night;)

That sounds perfect.

What night would suit people best?
Any night except weds works for me, that's a night that I can't get off work!

The Volt

Tuesdays are good for club nights like The Lost Society. Maybe the 25th Jan or the week after that.

I missed this post. I think Karma works for everyone, and voltwad can get us nibbles there!

I'm on the mobile at the moment, but I'll throw up a poll on which day when i get on to the laptop.

Please read the Mod note in Post #1 if you haven't already.

Ta very much

I know I'm not technically a student here yet but could I tag along? Start to learn faces and all that

Of course, more the merrier!

Actually, as an update to this, I've been snowed under lately with exams and study and whatnot, so I haven't had a chance to do any organising for this. It will happen tho, more than likely in mid Feb is say, provided that works for everyone.

Keep an eye on this thread for more updates as and when I have em for ye!

Friday 24th February is a good date... I know a fair few people from DIT Kevin St could be heading out that night starting in the good aul Karmastone bar and then moving on to somewhere else! Could be a good day for the boards beers! =D

Only good things and totally

so did this ever happen...

G_R

No. My fault really. I never really followed through on it. I was always working or doing something or going somewhere and it just never really happened.

I will try organise something, but when is a different story!

If someone else would like to take the lead and organise it, feel free!

Adriatic

Started at the top of the thread thinking I missed it, but I would be interested, don't post too often but what the heck.

overshoot

how about we just pick a pub and week (then run a poll with days) and go and get locked... bugger organising food and the effort...
so stick with karma and the week after paddys? (i think its review week before it... and iv a massive hand up)
alternatives? (might throw in a quieter start pub and move on at 12 or so... stags head to the globe isnt a bad night... cept for the wallet)

G_R

ok. exectutive decision.

Karma it is. Week after Paddy's day it is.

I'll update the poll in the morning!

overshoot

just remembered how close karma is to zaytoons, end of night feed sorted too:D

Pigwidgeon

Pretty sure I'm on reading week that week, but if I'm not working I'll try make it out.

G_R

After much effort, dates now changed and all votes reset on the Poll.

All the dates are in March btw...

overshoot

so then anyone still up for this? bit quiet here

The Volt

There's a Raw Session taking place for DIT musicians this Thursday night in the Living Room if anyone wanted to make it that?
