***It's time for more Beers!!! Oslo 25th May***

Redhairedguy

Well, my fellow gorgeous Galwegians. With the After Hours beers swiftly approaching on the 22nd of June, I think it's only right that we warm up our drinking arms by having our own little shindig before then.

For the sake of plenty of notice, I suggest we do it inside of May.

I'm guessing that Friday or Saturday works for most people. So the dates to choose from are:

- 3rd/4th May
- 10th/11th May
- 17th/18th May
- 24th/25th May

When we narrow down dates and potential venues, we'll put it to a poll.

Isn't Boards lucky that nobody in the hospitality trade uses it :-\

Redhairedguy

Jesus, I'd love a Big Mac right now.

thesandeman

Think the drive in has opened at seven if you managed to contain the hunger. Probably only do Big Mac Mac Breakfast Mac Muffins or something though ;-)

biko

I'm up for it. May should work for me but I'm getting relatives over at some point. Maybe I'll just bring them lol

Seaneh

If you book a party in Oslo this month (the party can be any time between now and newyears eve) you get a €100 bar tab, not a bad dead! We'd all probably get a drink each at least!

biko

Oslo it is unless someone can come up with a better deal?
100 euro bar tab is plenty of drinks, and maybe some finger food.

It also might ensure a few more attendees.



I'm off on me Jolliers 17th and 18th but would probs be available for any of the rest.

Dutchess

So far I can do all those dates.
I'm all for the Oslo, O'Connell's is getting old and the Oslo do nice beers!:)

Apparently it's too hard for some people to get to, according to mods in AH who don't know Galway anyway...

:pac:

I can help with that

I like the idea, have only ever made boards-beers a couple of times though. Got a choir gig on the 24/25th, free the rest of May ATM.

Redhairedguy

Okie Dokie. Oslo it is so.

Now to just narrow down some dates.

I vote for either the weekend of the 10th/11th or the 24th/25th.

Seaneh

Make a poll for the dates RHG.

Done. :pac:

People can vote for multiple nights if they're available.

grosser

10th for the pint, 11th for the fight!

Redhairedguy

Seems like Saturday the 25th is in the lead so far. Once the poll closes, we'll start to make arrangements in the Oslo to book a table or two (or three depending on our confirmed numbers. )

Bazzo

This time, I'm definitely gonna make it. I swear.... :pac:

Mr_A

Might take a spin to this for the craic.

I'll be the guy with the samurai sword.

biko

I think I won the Jenga last time in Oslo, or maybe I just really wanted to win.

wp_rathead

I like beers on a Friday as that way you've whole weekend to recover
I voted 10th May but really aslong as it is not the 3rd or 4th I'll be able to go

25th sounds good, just happy that the 9th didn't get picked as otherwise I'd have to miss the beers. Not a chance am I missing Star Trek opening night for anything.

grosser

what happens if there is tie? do both? sure couldn't we do the tenth and the twenty fifth, DOUBLE BEERS!!

Redhairedguy

In the hopefully likely event of a tie, a DOUBLE BEERS is the only option.

We must obey the poll... The poll is always right... The poll will show us the way to enlightenment.

Redhairedguy

Bumpity bizzle.

The poll will be closing in a few days, so if you haven't already; get voting.

When the date is picked, we'll start making arrangements. So much condensed milk to buy... :pac:

How about another night for weekend workers? Maybe a sun or Monday night? If be up for that:-)

Yeah. I do shift work, so I'm free and sometimes looking for a few pints during my week off.

I might do up a midweek beers for the weekend workers, after this one.

Dutchess

So 9 vs 9. Is someone gonna veto this or are double beers a go?

Double beers it is then.

Seaneh

whatever week I voted for, change it to the 10th, boom, winner.

Unfortunately not, I did vote for the 10th, but I now will definitely not be able to attend. So -1 me :pac:

Seaneh

boooo

Redhairedguy

Alright. Poll extended to the 30th because of the tie.

antoobrien

The weekend I voted for I'm not available for now, can I change my vote?

Redhairedguy

Which date suits you better Anto?

You have to book the party in the oslo before the end of the month for the bar tab :P

Just go with which ever night they have a table free big enough for 15-20 (I know only like 10 will show...).

grosser

Can we have that fight to break the tie;-)

Why does everything even vaguely alcohol related always lead to violence?

Can't we settle this like adults, with a good old fashioned game of Rock, Paper, Scissors?

You go first...

Redhairedguy

Okay guys. As per Seaneh's recommendation, I went into the Oslo to book a table. The 25th was best for them. The guy arranging it for me was looking for specific numbers, so between now and a week before the beers, I will need to compile a rough list of those attending so they can have a table to accommodate us.

No bar tab unfortunately, but there shall be nibblies.

tl;dr

Table of 15 - 20 booked in the Oslo for Saturday 25th of May at 8pm.

Sound, glad it didn't end up on the 10th after all as I have a dentist appointment half way across the country that day. I'll be attending on the 25th.

Sorry, wasn't near a computer for the weekend, any weekend bar the 10th would have done.

Are we actually adhering to the Poll vote?

There have been two votes for the 10th withdrawn.

Redhairedguy

Well obviously there can be meet ups for both nights, but the 25th is the one where there is a table and finger food booked.

If people can't make the 25th or want to have a meet up beforehand to get to know some folks on here, the 10th is definitely a contender as well.

grosser

so whos on for the tenth?

Seaneh

25th for me.

Changing my mind again :P

I'm game for both weekends.

pleasant Co.

Right-oh, well the 25th is sorted anyway but we'll need a hand count closer to the time to figure out how much space/finger food will need to be reserved.
