December Meetup - Saturday 13th JW Sweetmans

Ash885

MOD EDIT:

This is going ahead this Saturday, half 7 in jw sweetmans
....................

So a few people have messaged me and asked if there's going to be a December meetup. I thought people might be major busy with national shopping month, Christmas parties and 12 pubs etc. going on. But I'd thought I'd give people at least the chance to throw around some dates or ideas and if there's enough I'm sure something could be thrown together.

Otherwise could go for an early January one, post New Year's blues :pac:

If we're looking at the Saturday again, potenial dates are the 6th, 13th and 20th.

Fire away!

I'm triple booked for the 6th so it'll have to be the 13th for me. I promise I'll make it this time.

Christmas meetup would be great. 13th & 20th fine with me.

Im busy for December really but will definitely try and make a January one.

Should be able to make the 6th or 13th

If we had some sort of a poll or something to add to it for les people? See what the general vibe is.

Early January meets are always a possiblity for anyone who can't make it (looking like myself hah, damn pub crawls)

Annasopra

Multiple choice Poll added

For myself, 13th or January

Annasopra

Opted for the 13th. Any of the dates suits me. December 6th seems a bit soon to be getting bookings and numbers?

Think it was just an option but yeah it's a little close for comfort.

I can't make the 13th (family and friend ocassion) which seems to be the winner, so if someone wants to take the reigns and organise it (and do a less than adequate job compared to me :P) then feel free to offer up your name!

December 20th

I *might* show up to this meetup. I am hugely socially awkward at the best of the times (and particularly so on boards 'cause of previous accounts) but I'm living in Dublin and need to make more of an effort to socialise. I can't do the 20th but the 6th or 13th might work for me.

Hadn't heard about this "Meetup". Can someone tell me more?

I will come, so long as I am not busy on whichever day it is on

Annasopra

Is actually someone actually organising this?

I've said earlier in the thread I can't make the 13th and asked someone to offer themselves up. Literally just print off a little note and be the first one there with the pints is all it takes.

Anyway will see some of you all over Christmas out and about or for an early January meetup! :pac:

Its a very casual thing. We meet up in a pub, have a few pints and chats, any I've been along to have been great fun. A
I find a busy pub is a good atmosphere for meeting new people, and we meet in a 'straight' pub so people who aren't out to friends/family don't need to worry about coming along.

There's usually a boards sign of some sort on the table so people know its the meetup!

Just make sure to keep the sign away from the candles. Last time could have been seen as an arsen attack

Are we going with the 13th then? Just as well Ash can't make it, we would want any more altercations in queues either :P

It's really nice to see the meet ups are still happening. Sure I have said it a few times already but these really were a safe turning point for me to get out and accept being gay. Do give it a thought. Unfortunately, I can't make this one as I'm still living in France and won't be back in Dublin until the 21st. Have a good one though.
