Feile Brian Boru 2012

Chucken

Well it's that time of the year again.

Feile Brian Boru kicks off in Killaloe/Ballina on June 21st

http://www.feilebrianboru.com/

It looks like there are more events added this year, I'm a bit miffed though that the table quiz will clash with Mary Coughlans performance.

Lets hope it's a huge success!

Well has anybody attended anything so far?

I am working nights at the moment so have not participated in anything.
My daughter took part in the parade today and loved it.

Anybody interested in a bit of a Boards meet next Saturday night for the last night of the festival? Fireworks and all!!!!!

Chucken

We did the tour of the Cathedral on Saturday. It was really interesting. Considering I've lived next to it for 21 years,it was about time I think
Getting to the tower is very safe too btw. There are proper stairs now. ( Of course I presumed the old stone steps would still be used) You even get a turn to ring the bells :D

We got the glad rags on for the Ukelele concert Saturday night but it was cancelled

I'd love to meet up,but I understand some people might prefer to remain annonymous We probably know each other already anyway :cool:

I actually was not thinking when I was on about a boards meet. Sat night I have my 30th!!! Silly me lol.

Would have been a great idead anyway IMO

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Would love to know approx when it finishes. Difficult to give permission to a kid to go to a disco if I don't know if it's over at 11pm or 1.00am.

You could email the organisers, I'd say that it will be over by 11pm as it is a teenage event.

LOL:D I was at that, it was BRILLIANT!!!! :D:D

It was brilliant at the time, I just facebook stalked the girl I went to it to meet, the years have not been kind to her (not that they have been to me either), being turned down for the shift back then was a big thing, being turned down and then having her shift your best mate half an hour later was devastating.

x2. It was a spectacular event. Over 20minutes of fireworks over the water and the reflection of light was just brilliant. Well done.

Brilliant display
Did anyone notice the poor ducks and birds being woken up by them

I guess I was Killwill's only stalker then?
Lovely to meet you sir! Hope the rest of your night was great.
