Next Meetup March 28th

Ash885

I was waiting maybe for someone else to see if there was interest but that didn't go well so I'm here making the thread again to take over

Anyone interested in a February meetup? The usual drinks in a bar, head on to a club etc. if people fancy? Open to other ideas, that's just what's worked in the past.

Maybe I'm being complacent in explaining the meetups, but for any newbies out there they're a great way to maybe put a few faces to the boards people and if you're newly out/still working things out, more than welcome.

Previous threads show helps a great deal with people dealing with what might initially seem like a big deal being gay/bi/trans but honestly we're all out for a few pints and a chin wag! And for those experienced gays out there it's dancing shoes and fights in the George queue as usual

Dates? Usually a Saturday is the best bet?

Edited to add date

A Feb meetup sounds great. I'm still to get to one cause of work most weekends but hopefully can get to this one.

Annasopra

Yeah towards the end would be good

I'm up for it not been to one of these in two years - time has really went by incredibly fast. Not free the weekend of the 20th but after that plans are fairly flexible I think !

Ash885

Could we all agree then that the 28th is maybe the most promising?

actually - sorry to pull out already but not for me - but if it suits most others go ahead

Ash885

Saturday the 28th then! We'll start the ball rolling; remember open to all!

As I said I cant make it. Do you want me to change the date in the title?

Ash885

Well as it's been 8 days since the previous post and little to no interest, I'd say it's a bust. Anyone else can feel free to take the reigns though.

eviltwin

I'd love to go but this month is a bit of a mess finance wise

Woah dont lose heart just like that

March would be good maybe?

ninty9er

What about the 16th or Paddy's day?

BonnieSituation

Yeah. This month's is a busted flush. The 16th in Dublin will be mental judging by all that's on.

Annasopra

I wouldnt go near Dublin near Paddys day on a night out

hdowney

I'd avoid paddys day and around like the plague to be honest

I can't do the weekend of the 28th and I echo the sentiments of avoiding Paddy's night like the plague.
Other than that I'm totally flexible!

Annasopra

What about March 21st or 28th?

lyinghere

28th works for me.

BonnieSituation

I'm in for the 28th

eviltwin

28th works for me too I've never been to one of these meetups but think this time I will finally bite the bullet

Ash885

Well it's kind of too late to get any feasible accomadation now for myself and a few friends. Interest at the start really wasn't there to go ahead and book something with confidence. So I wouldn't be at this one. Someone else feel free to man the ship though and best of luck with it.

I thought we were talking March 28 now tho

Aaaah thought was referencing the Feb.

Regardless probably best someone else tries their hand at this anyway. Fresh ideas and all that jazz to the table.

I was just wondering if a married (m & f) couple would be welcome to attend.
We have both identified as bisexual in the past but have been off the scene completely for more than 10 years due to kids etc. We were hoping this might be a good way to meet some people and see how things have developed over the past 10 years!!

BonnieSituation

I don't see why not. Given the amount of understanding pn here and the amount of people that would turn up and be on this forum just after coming out etc.

Yes its a social event. However it does tend to be mostly males that attend.

Annasopra

Will we go with March 28th then?

doodlebops2015

By mostly males do you mean no women?? lol

Women are always welcome. I'm female and hoping to go along. I'm not gay myself but I'm the parent of a gay child hence I post in here a bit so I hope that is alright with everyone else.

doodlebops2015

Sounds like a good place for some chats.
No way we can make definite plans until closer to the time due to kids etc. but fingers crossed 1 or both of us can make it.

RagsOBrien

I am interested in a March meetup....16th night time would be good😊

stephen812

Add me into the pot for the March meet up.

BabyMonkeyy

I'd be interested in going. What date have ye decided on?

doodlebops2015

Just a quick question. I discussed before about my husband and I going but have been told it's mostly males.
Are these mostly gay males or would their be many bisexual males too?
Thanks

Well, most posters here I think are gay.

I know there are other bi guys on here like myself though. So hopefully they come too.

doodlebops2015

Thanks BonnieSituation. My husband is very much thinking about it so fingers crossed he can go.

lyinghere

What date is this on ??

BonnieSituation

I don't think a date was settled upon. Given the week that was in it no one was willing for a 16th March night.

What about 21st?

BetterThanThou

Sounds like a plan, I've always wanted go to one of these Boards meet ups, this one seems like a good option! Unfortunately I may be busy on the 21st, I'd happily go on the 28th though!
