    Just a thought, if you're at a loose end.

    I have a feeling we're a pretty disparate group of boardsies but wanted to the mention the IGRS Christmas drinks on Monday 7th December in Café en Seine on Dawson St in Dublin from about 6pm. I'll be there wearing my IGRS hat, and the evening is open to anyone. It's just general genealogy chat and drinks but it would be lovely to meet up in real life.

    You know, I was going to suggest that we have a meet up for the festive season as it would be nice to put faces to names so this might be an opportunity to do just that.

    Don't drink. Won't be there. But I will have a cup of tea at home, and think of you all. :)

    Sorry to miss it as I am away. Hope all goes well. Best wishes for the Holiday Season to all on here, particulary anyone who has given me a bit of a leg up during my 'dead ancestor' journey. Cheers, J

    Worked late. Panic phonecall about unruly 1 year old. Me out! :P

    I do like the idea of some sort of real life meet. It's a solitary path doing this and I've learned to be creative by reading strategies here. Group think in real life can only be a benefit.

    alive and well and back into town again this morning bright and early for a meeting. Mostly people I'd never met in real life before - if I remember half their names I'll be doing well!

    We can definitely plan a daytime meeting. The National Library has a lovely coffee shop...

    It was a lovely evening - I only got home last night... but that's a different story...
    I'm not sure I can meet up during the day, but I reckon it's a good idea... Something to look forward to in the new year :)

    Would like to meet up with likeminded familytreerooters - most of my family & friends let their eyes glaze over whenever I start talking about genealogy. Hopefully we can identify a date/time/venue in Jan/Feb.

    Agreed, good coffee, central venue, but very noisy and crowded generally. However I'm not sure that they would appreciate the gathering of this rowdy bunch and there could never be any dancing on tabletops!

    I didn't know genealogists were known for their dancing!

    might sound weird but there's a nice cafe in Mount Jerome Cemetery - lots of parking, dead quiet....
