Indoor Go Karting EVENT !!!

kingtut

Ok so I decided to create a seperate thread for this as I thought it might create more interest.

As posted in the other thread I saw this offer online:

http://www.groupon.ie/deals/cork/Kartmania/5740155?nlp=&CID=IE_CRM_1_0_0_138&a=1221

Which is basically indoor go karting for 30 mins (€64 for 4 people or €119 for 8 people) between now and August. I am happy to pay for this in advance (need to buy the deal within the next 29 hours) but only provided that the people who sign up promise to pay me the money even if they do not end up going - i.e. I want a commitment that if I give you a place that you are not going to leave me footing the bill !

So far the people interested are:

1) kingtut
2) corkcomp
3) stevexo
4) babo9
5) Blitzkrieger
6) queentut
7) Chad_Fantastics
8) mik_da_man
9) BACKUP PERSON #1
10) BACKUP PERSON #2

Anyone else? Please post here if you want to go and when between now and August would suit ...

OK THE EVENT IS NOW FULL

however I have added 2 "backup" places. So if you still want to go please let me know (and you will get a place if someone cancels, or maybe we can just add other people to the event but at whatever price the place normally charges.

As long as it's before August I'm good, only other dates I see as a problem are June 22nd-June 25th!

kingtut

Not sure ... what dates suit the 8 people that are going? Can you all please post and let me know?! Thanks !

Chad_Fantastics

I'm good until next tuesday then away until 18th, good then except for some late work evening the 25th-27th. Weekends I'm grand apart from that 15th-17th.

And I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO going to kick all yer asses!!!!

stevexo

the last 2 weekends in july are out for me. got a wedding in the uk and one in tipp

Blitzkrieger

After next weekend I think I'm good for the next four.

babo9

BTW, incase people don't know, this can happen on a weekday too. Infact it's limited availability on the weekend (before 2pm), that's right kingtut?

babo9

I can't go July 2nd - 6th either.

kingtut

How about Friday June 29th ?

Anyone not free that evening ??

I could do that, probably be hungover if its a weekend but I can still do it if it's the date that'll suit everyone best :P

stevexo

we are half way there! 4 more and we have a date

kingtut

stevexo wrote: »

Also suits me (but herself will be working probably although I'll ask her later). As it says limited weekend availability I think we should book this asap ...

The fine print says:

Expires 16 August 2012.
Limit 1 per 4 or 8 people. May buy multiple. Booking required. 48 hour cancellation policy. Limited weekend availability before 2pm. All 4 or 8 participants must compete in same race. Minimum height 4ft 8". Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Valid on option purchased only. Original values verified 12 March 2012 at 9.44am.

Also, note that the karting takes place in little island, I am happy to give lifts to people to and from the city, but we need at least 1 more car, any other volunteers ?

Well even without a reply if we get 6/8 agreeing to a date I think we should just go for it ... after all nobody has paid me yet so they won't be out of pocket if they can't make the date

If anyone is in the Grange area I can provide a lift if it's needed!

p.s. Tut, the later the Karting the better, I know it's before 2pm, but if it's at like 9am there could be an over the driving limit problem haha

I could give Steve a lift (iirc we'll be coming from the same direction) and swing through the city too if anyone's stuck.

stevexo

Ill be coming from midleton, got a car so i could get u on the way.


just a reminder for anyone interested...kayaking starts next tuesday. Look up phoenix kayaking on google and register for the course online if you want to come. Dont have to pay till the first night. Its a 5 week level 1 kayaking course for 2.5 hours every tues evening. €120 quid.

ive signed up

Chad_Fantastics

You can include me for that weekend.


That kyaking sounds good. End of Quarter in our house is I'll be the sole carer for the next few weeks so can't make it...


...that and a disturbing tendency to drown when introduced to water...


...apparently I'm a witch!

:eek:

kingtut

So 6/8 people are happy with Sat 14th / Sun 15th July ... 1 person has not replied and the other is only free in the evening...

... The deal says it is restricted after 2pm which might just mean that there is limited availability after that time however ...

unless there are any objections I'll try and book karting for 7/8pm on Sat 14th July (so that we can hit the pub for a few pints afterwards).

Definitely a good call. I was up there during the week, and it is a great track. The staff are flexible and friendly, and they track your lap times by PC... It's great.

This is the video we made of our race there...
