Is it that time already? Yup, I think it's Beers time! (Oslo Saturday 9pm)

biko

this post is here so a new poll could be created for day and venue.

Who else feels like enough time has passed since the last beers and perhaps we should have another one before the end of the summer?

If there seems to be interest we could add polls for when and where

Why wait till the end of the summer? Let's try the start of the summer?

I haven't been to one yet, but I think it's time to show my handsome face.

I am partial to The Dew Drop.

Because it's nearly the end of July and technically summer ends next week (August is autumn).

It usually takes a few weeks to organise these things too, so I'd imagine we'd be lucky to have in before the 3rd week of aug.


Also, it will, as always, be voted that we should go to O'Connells because loads of people who won't even come anyway will want to go there.

Sound, if we get a few dates and venue suggestions I'll make a poll from those.

Don't put O'Connells on the list of places.

Salthouse and the Cottage are my suggestions.

Don't mind when.

Yep I always end up being busy when they're on. Funny, I was just saying to the one of owners of the Cottage/Salthouse etc at the weekend that his places are always suggested for Boards Beers, he was intrigued and appreciative

Start in Fibbers and end in Coyotes.

Salthouse is good with me. Wouldn't mind Cottage but might be a bit far out for some people. What about a poll with just every weekend in August?

Seaneh

Áras na nGael

Yeah, I think salthouse, we could book a table or two on a friday or saturday.

Other option could be the oslo, if we book a table and call it a "party" we'd get free finger food

Oslo is definitely an idea. The biggest problem with the Salt House (as much as I love it) is the noise. It's hard to talk to people you know in there, never mind people you've never met. That's why the O'Connell's beer garden works so well. It's never that noisy, so you can actually chat with people. We spoke about this at the last 'Beers in O'Connell's.

We had no bother hearing each other last time we were in Salthouse at Christmas.

The Oslo gets my vote, they do lovely grub.

The distance of Oslo not put people off a bit?

Seaneh

Right Biko, can you go ahead and add a poll with dates? maybe put up a weekend (like 10th/11th, 17th/18th, 24th/25th) and then when we pick a weekend we can change the poll to friday/saturday.

Seems like the majority of people who will actually show up would prefer Salt House or Oslo, so we can leave that to last to decide.

Poll can't be changed now.
Choose date that suits best and if another date wins and you still can go, go.

Well I'll post a recent photo of me in know your Galwegians closer to the time so you can at least have a notion who you're looking for.

Some people share numbers beforehand too.

I went to one of these in the Beerhouse, and I ended up sitting at the bar on my own because I couldn't figure out which group was the boards group and, being the shy and retiring type, I felt too stupid to ask.

I ended up going home after about half an hour, only to read the next day about how good an evening it was.

If im wearing anything distinctive I'll make sure to post what to look out for in this thread, and as a lot of us have smartphones someone is bound to post approx details of where they're sitting.

Those of us without smartphones will just have to wing it and look for the internet people!

You know the way on blind dates in the 80s and early 90s before mobile phones, the would-be couple would recognise each other by wearing a carnation of an agreed colour in their lapel?

Well I'll bring this with me and leave it on our table:



Guaranteed it will be the only table with a can of condensed milk on it.
