    Hey guys

    Anyone fancy meeting up for some forum drinks in Dublin Mid June?

    EDIT

    Cancelled due to lack of interest

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I'm up for one. Have a relatively free month and disappointed I missed the last one!

    11th sounds good, but definitely agree on the venue choice. Somewhere a little quieter where we could converse and have a chat would be ideal :)

    Actually I have something on 11th. Would the 4th or the 18th work?

    As long as I've been an active member of Boards, I've never been to a meet up. I might try for it this time.

    Hopefully I should be able to make it. Venue choice, I'm not too sure where you could go. But can decide on a place between then and now sure?!

    For me it would be great on the 4th. I'll be landing in Dublin on the 11th in the evening so it would be impossible for me to make it then... It was great seeing those I've met last time, so hope I'll get the chance to see you all again in June.

    Boards beers is cool!

    We need a new venue though to avoid Sweetman's under-talented and over-amplified pub singer!

    I voted for June 11th. Been meaning to go on a night out and I haven't been on an LBGT night in years.
    Regarding venues, what about Pantibar?

    Shoot, the one time I have accommodation and stuff sorted i'll miss it (wedding).
    Venue wise what would people think of just going straight to the Front Lounge or Pantibar?

    Ah the only date I can't go, so didn't vote for it. It's very close to Pride and two weekends in a row was not something I could commit to!

    Alas, have a smasher ^^'

    Looks like noone wants to go on the 18th then?

    Can't make the 18th, guys, unfortunately. Have a great evening, though, and hope you find a decent venue!

    Hey all

    As noone has said they are actually going I'm going to cancel it.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me?

    The problem with this is that if someone has voted a date, that should automatically mean they are going.

    Secondly there's a few names that voted on the 18th who have in the past put their names down for meetups I've organised and never showed up on consecutive occasions. If this relies on votes you'll be disappointed, in the past 12 people put a name down for one of these and only 3 showed up.

    In future someone should just pick a workable date and anyone who says they'll show should do so. My 2 cents anyway.

    Well said Ash. Organising almost anything in Ireland can be a pain with people saying they'll run up and the like .
    Pity it's not going ahead.

    That's unfortunate. I've been so busy in work that I'm only getting to see this now. Had the weekend off and had planned to go. Have a great Pride lads and ladies. And hopefully there'll be a meet up soon.

    LGBT Beers has always been a warm, welcoming and friendly gig.

    Let's hope it will continue shortly - and thanks to everyone who went to the trouble of organising it in the past.

    Yeah I'd like to see it continue, unfortunately I've only been able to go to a handful of them but they've always been worth it.
