Ollie is a good friend of mine and I could sort out anything thats needed for the night, the problem with Skerries is the pubs are a bit of a walk from the train station
.
Now now, stop throwing up obstacles, my OH is also a non drinker, and a bit of a pet, and he'd happily collect people if we could coordinate it and be sure of a parking space
Sure we can chat through it
I'd love to see you at an inaugural beers, you're a real bond on this forum, the amount of people i've met through this forum who chat about your and your boats is unreal.
We're only a small group of people, so we should be able to trash it out 0 -

If I'm bring the boat down for a spin the best dates in May would be friday the 16 and 30 but that is lunch time other than that the 23rd late evening and weather permitting, there are also some good pubs along the harbour Blue, Joe may's and stoop your head. (I can't do the 9th son's Confirmation)
Sh1tbag OToole Goats are highly respected in Skerries

We'd a "lets clean up the boat, fix a few niggles" day today on my boat
As it's the one in four/five weekends that my OH's kids are not about I brought him along to meet my fellow crew etc.
After introductions he went and did landlubber things then we all met up for drinks after several hours hard work.
OH is still a little green after the conversation! Heeheee
And nowhere near being encouraged to give sailing a try after it either!miss no stars wrote: »So what sort of time of day are we talking about for this? I've no problem having it in Skerries so we can get Fergal along but it would be nice if it's early enough that public transport will still be running..?
Oh and where's neris in all this? Has he poked an oar in?
No sign of neris, I'll give him a prod when he next posts?miss no stars wrote: »Would have to be an after-work time if its a weekday for me.
So here's a suggestion, given that Friday 23rd May is one for fergal, and there are public transport options, how would people feel about an inaugural meetup from 7pm in Ollies in Skerries on May 23rd? Fergal could do the honors and reserve us one of the big roundy booths (he'll know what I mean) and see if we can get platters? Though tbh there is plenty of nibbly stuff on the Ollies menu
I'm not a night owl and will be dead on my feet by 11
I can cajole the Oh into meeting people at the train and we might have another volunteer to do so also?0 -

Sounds good to me too I will have to put in a request for respite to see if I can get it so I can't say 100% yet and I won't get an answer from them till closer the time but hopefully it will be ok.

Well at least it's a few weeks in advance, and even if you stuck the head in for five minutes I'm sure we'd be glad
Best of luck with it My parents used to do respite care for children, so I can well understand how difficult it must be in current times. 0 -

I should be there also, just to add in another from DL! Mind you today was the last day working in the yacht club, off to the real world of jobs and pleasure boating rather than working at it! I'll have to keep my foot in the door of teaching though

Off to the big bad world of working for Mars as a Merchandiser on the road. Ah sure I'll still be around the place a bit, not to mention Lift in on Saturday!
Oh, and we were looking for your number earlier about your lift, maybe give the guys a shout tomorrow and leave it with them!
Best of luck with it (real life, that is!)! Might see you Saturday, there's a RO meeting in the club that I hope to get out to, work permitting.
I'll give the bh a shout tomorrow.
Now, back on topic 0 -

If you get there for eight or even nine should be fine Steve
Fergal, any chance you'd take on booking us one of those bigger booths at the front?
No problem, I might wait and see how many we have in total closer to the time and get two booths at the back, I might be bringing my boat widow as she is interested to meet the people I spend more time with than her "Don't worry she won't be armed" If others are bringing their other half or friend could you put plus one next to your name please so nobody is left standing.
