Post-Jingle Bells 5k beers!

pconn062

So was wondering would anyone have interest in an A/R beers? Last year it was held on the same day as the Jingle Bells 5k which worked out well so maybe the same day (06/12/14) would work this year as well. I know that the Waterford 1/2 is the same day and some people are running that so maybe the day is not ideal. But there should be a good few running the JB 5k so maybe those interested could meet up for a few beers after the race? We met in Ryan's last year which is near the park for a few drinks and some food and it was good fun. So if you're interested stick your name below!

EDIT: So this is not an official A/R beers, just a thread for anyone interested in meeting up for a few scoops after the JB 5k on the 6/12/14.

FYI that wasn't last year's xmas beers, we went to the Palace on Fleet St, meeting around 8pm until very late. It was great craic and there were about 15 of us I think.

6th Doesn't suit me this year, as you say a crowd of us are heading down to waterford and having a night out down there...

Jeez meno, pedantic much??! It's the only part of the beers that I was on so that's why I mentioned it. It was people from here having beers so that's good enough for me!

Saturday 13th, Palace Fleet St for evening beers anyone?

6th during the day doesn't suit me.

Last year we had polls for dates
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057074490
and polls for venues
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057082001

T'was all very democratic :pac:

Yes, forgot about that. OK will edit thread title (sorry Meno).

Chivito550

In situations like this the person organising needs to go down the dictator route and pick the date. Those who can make that date can, those who can't cant. Doing the whole "what day suits everyone" thing results in division and about 10 different days on the table for consideration. A headache.

In any case, I'm good for the 6th. Away the following weekend.

Sure go on may as well join ye

Sounds good, I'm right round the corner

RacoonQueen

Might not make the national novice so will go if so...I hear pconn is sticking around 'till late' for this one...long day for all. Just like old times! :pac:

RayCun

might join yis for one, before meeting up with an altogether better class of people for a proper party later
Presume there's a raid on the cake table in Donore first?
Would a pub in Chapelizod be handier?

Not sure where you heard that! If we are in the pub from 1 after the race, 6pm is going to be pretty late! :pac:

Cake, absolutely (especially if RQ is making chocolate biscuit cake and doesn't bail like last year!).

I'm open to any venue, don't know the area at all so whatever you guys think suits me! Ryan's was just handy last year as you could get some nice food in it as well.

RacoonQueen

I was planning to take the day off on the 5th to spend the day baking but I missed the boat on that

edit: However, I plan to have CBC, brownies and cookies (my three specialities) since they can all be made in advance!

cianc

Sounds good.

Haven't been in either, but we could get Joycean in

or stick to the marathon route

Either look good to me, what does everyone else think? Have any preferences?

RacoonQueen

Not the bridge inn anyway...mullingar house would be grand

I'll be in waterford so can't attend but you would be mad to stray from Ryan's. Sure you can get a bus at donore to drop you outside if the walk is too far (pussies). Mullingar house is ok but will be lacking atmosphere.

adrian522

I'm intrested in beers on the 6th anyway...

The bridge inn is closed.

I've found the food at Nancy hands very good

Must admit that Ryan's would be my preference too (for selfish reasons, it's easier for me to get back into the city from there to make my way home). Maybe a poll with a few options is the fairest way?

I think we should stick with Ryans. We jogged down there last year and it was a great way to get a cool down done and it's nice in there and the food is good and if I want to get the train it's very handy

cianc

+1 for Ryans. No point complicating things. Democracy is overrated

RacoonQueen

Mullingar house is closer to my house...

Chivito550

No polls please. Pick venue. No drama that way.

RacoonQueen

Someone post a poll there to wreck Chivito's head...

Maybe a poll to see if we should put up a poll??

So, Ryan's then??!

RayCun

I completely agree that these decisions should be made by one person instead of by poll, but I should be that person
Ryans it is so...:)

pconn062

Ok so the details!

Date: 06/12/14
Venue: Ryans (which is here)

Maybe we can all meet at the Donore clubhouse for some cake and then jog/walk/crawl up to Ryan's from there. Sorted!

average_runner

Sorry I wont be able to make it, just doing the race, jumping back into the car then and heading to santa world in Palmerstown Estate!!

A nice warm down out there!!

Do you have to be invited?

Tis an open invitation. You might want to leave behind your "Katie is greater than Sonia" banner upon entering the pub though.

Okey doke; might pop along if I have the energy. Will shout out usernames to identify you guys....

I have my Christmas party the night before and haven't a notion of racing JB. I didn't race last year either. Nor did I do the marathon this year and still turned up for beers after both. Is it bad if I keep turning up for beers without actually ever racing??:cool:

Yup! :pac:

But would be great if you could make it!

Just takes someone to organise it

AuldManKing

Cant make it
Wifey is going to college on Sat and I'm taking liberties with 'child services' by just going to do the race!

Am out that night with my 'non internet' running friends

(...........& I dont mean my friends who are too old to understand the internet)

This Fat Girl Runs

Aw, I'm not going to be able to make it. Would be great to meet you all in person! Maybe next time!

RacoonQueen

Nephew's birthday party has been rearranged to the 6th now so I won't make this

RayCun

out too
racing Saturday would be a bad idea

pconn062

Ah Jaysus, it will be just me on my own in Ryan's at this rate, drinking on my own like an loser!

adrian522

I'll be there anyway, hopefully a few more will turn up....

Very true, always a silver lining eh?!

RacoonQueen

I could probably make it to mullingar house for a drink or two (it is closer to my house and my bros house where party will be) :P

Dubgal72

I'll be there, will they not be opening the bar upstairs in Donore? *lazy drinker*
