    Don't want to be smart or offend anyone, but I'm presuming this isn't actually going ahead now?

    No - some folks didn't get back to me. I'll try them again - I'll make sure it is known and give some lead time on it. Weekends are out for most, Tuesday->Thursday are out for a lot with club leagues etc... so Monday and Fridays...

    Also have about 2 cupboards worth of stashed stuff that I wouldn't mind getting rid off. Count me in if this will happen.

    Actually, I think the new Edge 1000 would do that-it gets email alerts from your phone, so if you are following a thread, anything new will pop up on that. Only problem is, you probably would have to have the carboot sale first in order to sell enough stuff to be able to afford the edge 1000...

    If people are that concerned about it, why not contact Lamb Doyles yourselves?

    I'm hoping, this drags on until the Mark Mullen League is over.
    Three more Mondays.

    Ryan has already spoken to them so that contact has been made through him. I'd leave at that until Ryan gets back to us.

    Why don't people lay out all their stuff, arrange it in a display pile of sorts, take a photo and lash the photo up here? It's surely the handiest virtual car-boot sale for cycling stuff that we all have access to?

    I am just going to say no to that, thats pretty much what the adverts forum is and that is enough. You could always set one up in the car parks further out the LUAS line, i know the classic car club in south Dublin used to do that once a month, car park is so quiet that no one cared although it may be a tad far for those without a car.

    Could set up a facebook page and create albums by components to make it easier for people to sort through the stuff. Would be a lot handier as opposed to mind numbingly scrolling down through wall posts to find that photo of a certain item you saw posted for sale a few days ago..

    But of course that would require a generous volunteer with time to admin the page and unfortunately that rules me out...

    I presume nothing more has been heard from Lamb Doyles. Anyone have any other suggestions for possible locations that we could ask permission to use their car parks.

    I was thinking somewhere like the Goat in Clonskeagh, not because they are close to me or anything like that.

    The Goat would be very handy for me. Has a nice big car park as well, so not a bad spot for a car boot sale

    Popes Cross carpark for example?

    Would we have to get permission from the park rangers (is that what they are called?)?

    I'm just off the phone to Mr. David Morton of Lamb Doyles.

    Essentially any Tuesday or Thursday evening suits him (soccer on Mondays and Wednesdays) and the far end of his carpark is always there for cyclists.

    In saying that he would be much more likely to have cyclists again if they could manage to "spend more than a penny" in his pub, in his own words.

    In terms of daylight next Tuesday the 2nd of September is the obvious time?

    MOD VOICE: As it turns out, I can't seem to add in an option for a poll. To make things easier, if you would prefer a Tuesday, thank my post above (#58) if you would prefer Thursday thank Green&Reds post (#57).

    I will count the thanks tomorrow evening when I get home and we can run with that if there are no other issues.
