Need suggestions regarding a place to hold a public meeting.

Biggins

I going to hold public meeting soon in Drogheda.
As such, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me that can suggest places which are easier to access and is more central to the town of Drogheda.

I could of course hire a room in the Westcourt Hotel - expensive but possible - but I'm also looking for alternative locations.
Does anyone know of alternatives which might be usable?

The Barbican Centre?

When you say that you're going to have a public meeting, how many people do you intend to come? You should ask yourself this before planning any function. There are a number of venues in the town that cater for groups of people.

For example, as has been mentioned by gipi, the Barbican Centre has a number of different rooms that can be used depending on the size of your crowd but I'm not too sure of the cost of holding anything there. The Millmount tower has meetings in it and can hold about 50 people in the basement. The Westcourt, as you said, is also a good venue as the rooms can be divided. The Venue in McHughs as well as it's upstairs function room have been used for public meetings in the past as indeed have a good number of bars and pubs across the town. There are a number of various sized function rooms in the D hotel and then there isn't forgetting the Tommy Leddy Theater if you're holding a rally or Ard Fheis:pac: of some description.

Most of these, come with a projector screen too although I'm not sure about the Westcourt. I don't know about the prices of holding meetings in these places but their details are available on the net.

Hope this has been a help to you:)

feck sake lads

whats the meeting all about.:cool:

It has been of help.
The numbers I'm unsure about. I hope to have 100+.
Thanks for the suggestions above and the points raised.

I am sure that, when Biggins has arranged the meeting and is ready to start inviting people to attend, we shall be among the very first to know!
Until that time, asking is just plain rude.

Then you had better choose a pub to have your meeting in, Biggins. A pint of Guinness goes down a right treat with some Jelly Babies:pac:

I wonder did Biggins ever have his meeting.
I see he's been banned now anyway.
Probably something to do with the drivel he was spouting in AH!

You dug up a three month old thread to highlight a fellow user has been site banned?

Yeah, sorry, probably shouldn't have done that!
I was reading some of said drivel over on AH, and then said to myself "Isn't that the same guy that used to be in the Louth forum?" It also struck me that we never found out what the meeting was about; I thought we'd all be invited!

feck sake lads

:):) theres always one.

Maybe it was about posters who liked to drag up threads to take a knock at members who could no longer defend themselves....or maybe not
