    It has been agreed this will take place on Novemver 8th at 8:30pm in JW Sweetmans.

    Howdy mes amis. Was just wondering if anyone fancied a forum meetup. I haven't been to one in a while unfortunately and if there was any interest I'm sure we could see something through!

    I might be a bit optimistic if there could be one for October (fancy dress anyone? :pac:) but if there's interest like myself I'm game. Or I'll chance my arm, or an early November one either.

    Any ideas you can shoot away; twas only an idea really.

    Meetups were a bit of a laugh in the past and would hate to see them fade away! Could be a great source for people to meet like-minded people, and also for craic!

    I haven't been on a board meet up since the internet was a foetus.

    I wholeheartedly approve of the sentiments above. :)

    I'm interested but November suits me more.

    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.

    Well I'd imagine November would be far more feasible for people at this stage to book ahead and see what their plans are. What are people's thoughts on the 8th/9th or 15th/16th of November? It doesn't bother me a whole pile on the dates!

    Well if someone wants to organise a day-type meetup feel free. I sadly can't because of travel to Dublin. But if it's a nighttime-ish meetup people want, we usually meet around 8.30 onwards at a pub. Anyone and everyone is free to join at whatever time and wherever we are. Whatever suits you, suits us.

    Usually people meet somewhat central as it's easiest for everyone. Sweetman's is a good choice if it's not too packed, but if there's another one out there. I don't want to be bossy or anything xD

    Sunday nights wouldnt suit me with no Dublin Bus nitelink!!

    Given that you're the one who suggested this meetup and night time suits you I'd say just go for nightime beers again!

    Sweetmans is fine and nice and central.

    Now that you mention it, I'm saying that the dress code will be Country Western :pac:

    Well it let's people pop in and out without much of a fuss if that suits. There'll be a small patrol possibly going onwards to another bar/club and if that isn't your scene (terrible pun), you can always head off early. It's as relaxed as that!

    I'd reccomend it to those recently saying they don't have many gay friends (boy or girl), or those with similar interests. 'Tis nice to have a few friends who know what it's like! But it's not an agony aunt session either! bit of fun and drinks and all that jazz will be bang tidy.

    Meetups have been a great way to expand your friendship and get your head around certain things! Previous threads show it's a great use to people so if you're able to! All ages, genders and hair colours welcome.

    Question, is Sweetman's loud? I've been before but think it was early enough and not packed. I literally can't hear people talking in packed noisy bars...
