tGC-Galway Beers-23rd June, Kellys Bar, Read Post No.153!

Daisies

So, beers are always a great success but there is a few westies who post regularly here AND Galway is a great city. 2+2 =5 and now I reckon it's the turn of the city of the Tribes to host a TGC beers.

There's a scatter of cheap accommodation around and everything is pretty central so no matter where you end up you're not going to be too far from the action.

I've only included Saturday options so people don't have to try and travel down from Dublin after work. Also the last week in June is the start of the Volvo Ocean race so accommodation will be pricey and hard to come by so I've left it out

2nd June for me. Bank holiday weekend.

Can't go if it's the May date.

I can't do May either! I can do 9 or 23 June.

Please don't make it the 2nd of June! I have a birthday night planned in Dublin for that date! (ps: everyone here is invited to that if you are in the area )

23rd sounds good to me!

Right so I can't figure out how to change it to a multi option. Paging Panthro and Otis. I thought I pressed the multi vote option but obviously pressed it too late :mad:

I'm actually technologically stupid!

I am camping with lots and lots of scouts that weekend and I was looking forward to your bday and all

Right folks,situation is:
Locking this thread for a few mins, as I can't change current poll into a multi poll, I have to create a whole new one in a new thread (so don't post/vote in it!) and then merge it back to this one.
Bear with me

Cheers dude, I tried to do that but I don't think I can! I knew you'd come in useful at some point

I don't yet which dates I can do but I reckon June is probably best for me.

Also, huzzah for Galway \0/ Favouritest city in Ireland, by far

I can do the 9th or the 23rd

Panthro

Saturday June 23rd

I've gone for either 9th or 16th, a brovva and his gang of near 30 somethings will be hightailing it off to Ibiza on the 24th, and I want to be fresh* for the flight.

*and by fresh I do of course mean not completely dying of a hangover, plus I'm thinking I don't want to miss the boardsie breakfast the next morning as its a must, but of course!

First time traveling to Galway so a bit of adventuring around the city shall be had in the morning I'm kind of tempted to bring my surfboard with me now so I can make my way up to Strandhill on the Sunday.

It's my 30th on June 19th but I don't know yet if I am going to have a party the weekend before or after so don't know what date to vote for.

You can make your decision once you know about your party. I reckon I'll keep the poll up for maybe 12 days or so. Then stop it to give people a chance to book accommodation etc

mumble mumble you finally have a TGC beer in Galway when there's a chance I might be living in Dublin. There's just no winning, is there?

If I'm around/free, I'll definitely go.

I didn't see you organising anything :P

Poll really should be on public view tbh.Remember the thread for the last one,there were like 60 or 70 votes for each night.The problem is when its an anonymous poll people can vote but it may end up getting skewed by lurkers rather than people that intend going.I dunno if its possible to switch to a public one but will see if it can be done.

Not that I can see anyway.I will ask if it can be changed and revert.

Otis Driftwood

Unfortunatly we cannot change the polls to be on public so Ive created this and will try and merge the posts.

Options are now on public so we can see who votes for what,least we will know the real numbers.

Otis Driftwood

New thread opened,apologies for the messin!

Could I post about this in the Galway forum? I'm sure there's a few there that might like to go!

I'll be away after the 18th June.

KamiKazeKitten

Mmm, I have a college commitment that'll have me roughly round the area in June but not sure if I'll be able to make it in - think I'll wait and see how it all pans out.

Sauve

I won't vote or commit to anything because June will be pretty busy for me. Once the date is chosen, I'll do my very best to make it.

Not yet, once I get a date and a vague idea of numbers I'll look into a venue.

Will be there.

ceannbui

damn, would love to go along but only coming back to ireland on the 23rd June after a while abroad and parents would be slightly miffed at me heading off to Galway on the piss as soon as i touch down. is this a regular thing or a once off? i spent 7 yrs in Galway but most people i knew there have moved on

ps i voted for the first and last but I got my dates wrong about when i was coming home

I went for the 9th or 16th of June. Think I'm going to that Rory Gallagher festival so will need time to recover I'd say.

Saturday June 23rd

I'm good for the last 3 dates but my preference would be the 16th (chili peppers gig on the 26th may be tough going! )

Whatever chance I had of making it to a Dublin beers.. which all attempts so far have failed miserably btw.. There is no hope of me making it to a Galway beers
