roryc · 12-08-2005 9:21am

I don't know, 1euro for membership, 1euro for parking....... any other hidden costs? I mean thats 2euro already!

Dub13 · 12-08-2005 9:24am

you can park on street but may find yourself paying 10 years parking costs for new tyres/windows/cd player. It is the Northside

I will loan anyone the membership fee and you can pay it back in weekly instalments of 2c. APR = 4%

It might not be ideal but it is accessable to a wide area (quite a few from Drogheda will be there as it is only 20mins away) and we have no bother with having to finish really early like most pub/hotel tournies in Dublin.

The Drogheda tournie is out of the way as well but it has a good reputation and people are travelling from Dundalk & Dublin to play it.

Dub13 · 12-08-2005 9:46am

The AUL is also right at the end of the M50....so handy for these affluent southside folk.

califano · 12-08-2005 9:54am

thats good, i live just down the road so id like to give this a go.

Proceed to the junction of the M50 and the M1. Head for the M50 extension to the Malahide Road. You will come to a small roundabout shortly after the main M50-M1 roundabout, take the exit for Baskin. The AUL grounds are on the left hand side approximately 1 mile from the turn off. The entrance is marked by pink pillars.

or
its on a back road that runs behind the "coachmans inn" which is right beside dublin airport on the main road.

How would you get there if you're a bus faring man?

roryc · 12-08-2005 10:12am

by bus

The best/only way to get here by bus would be a 41 to the coachmans inn just past the airport,then about a 10min walk or one of the lads could pick you up....I should be there with a car.

Corben Dallas · 24-08-2005 11:43pm

Is this definitely on 2nd Sept?

Shortstack · 25-08-2005 1:50am

Yep first one is Sep 2nd then weekly after that.

DocO · 25-08-2005 8:24am

Culchie · 25-08-2005 8:37am

and with an 8 pm start passport and visa control will be closed so no worries there.

Culchie · 25-08-2005 11:14pm

Good Tourney ... will be a big hit in the AUL !

As you can see, home already though

califano · 27-08-2005 10:25pm

I will be at the inaugural AUL tournament. I feel like Buckner walking back into Shea.

Dub13 · 29-08-2005 1:43pm

Lets make sure we get a Dub to win this....or better still a Dublin 1,2,3.We cant have the lads from the "Wee County" taken liberties in Dublin

califano · 29-08-2005 8:07pm

yeah it will be a sorry day if a droghadeen wins the first one. i will sacrifice myself as a blocker if need be calling another all in with K2!. i cant be bluffed, i have courage and stupidity in equal measure. thats a damn leathal combo.

DapperGent · 01-09-2005 2:52pm

Myself and Henbane will be there.

I'm planning on getting drunk and abusive.

Shortstack · 01-09-2005 5:06pm

Feed back from the A.U.L. is that there is going to be a big crowd so get there early so you do not miss out!!

I would imagine 10/15% of the field would be from Drogheda so I make that about evens that one of them wins it against you sorry Dubliners :eek:

ionapaul · 01-09-2005 6:13pm

If an 'affuent Southsider' (not me, I'm from Kerry via Galway and living in Rathmines!) were to try and drive to the AUL, how would one do so? Up through Drumcondra and...?

Dub13 · 01-09-2005 6:21pm

just head towards the airport on the M1,take the exit for the M50 but don't turn onto the m50 turn right towards Malahide road/N32.about 100 yards from the end of the M50 their is a roundabout take the left and its on this road on your left.

If you are heading from Fairview,just head up the malahide road on till you hit the Dublin airport Hilton take the left just before the hotel onto the N32,continue along the N32 on till you come to a roundabout take a right and its on your left a few min up this road.

Its a small country road so keep an eye out for the complex

I am ****e at given direction's

Bigun · 01-09-2005 6:38pm

When you look at this just below the word "map" in the top right hand corner there is a square building, as far as i know this is the venue.

It is on every week for the foreseeable future, Numbers permitting. We have just set up for tonight and have room for 130. We can squeeze another 20 in if necessary.

Best of luck to everyone who turns up.

Noticably silent today Mr 13

Anything to do with your fine bubble performance and the fact that a Droghedean won? ( well chopped four ways but counts as equal first!)

Thanks also to yourself, Dapper, Henbane & Rounders123 for the support at the tournie last night.

Yes it was one of those nights....I blame the dealer.I am starting to bubble alot lately what can you do,I am getting to final stages and then nasty nasty lady luck takes over.

Good night had by all,so I am the first bubble boy from mikes dublin tournament's I feel special nobody remembers the winner (especially when there are 4 winners) but they remember the bubble boy.I will be back.

We very nearly got that Dublin 1,2,3.I think the Drogheda lads will be pushed to the side when this takes off.
