Christmas Beers ....

    Yeah, sorry to bring up the C-word in early November.

    But, how about trying to set a date for us all to get together for some beer (or whatever you fancy yourself) over the Christmas period. I know that's going to be a Herculean task to find a date that suits everyone, but even if we can get one that suits most people that would be great.

    So, Fridays or Saturdays are probably the best. There are 7 weekends between now and Christmas, so that's 14 dates. Surely there's one date in there that would suit the majority:

    Friday 8th November
    Saturday 9th November
    Friday 15th November
    Saturday 16th November
    Friday 22nd November
    Saturday 23rd November
    Friday 29th November
    Saturday 30th November
    Friday 6th December
    Saturday 7th December
    Friday 13th December
    Saturday 14th December
    Friday 20th December
    Saturday 21st December

    Venue suggestions also welcome, though I think our usual is pretty successful as a venue this past while.

    Edit: Poll added - tick all that apply.

    my social anxiety is pretty severe these days, so wouldn't be up for meeting in a group :( However if someone wants to meet one to one over christmas I'd be able to handle that (sorry guys) :o

    You know there's loads of dates there and only one that actually suits me, so prob best to just organise amongst yourselves folks.

    Christmas ain't a good time for meeting up on my end what with kids, pantos, etc. :/

    We should go to the panto in Ballymote!!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,428 ✭✭✭MrKingsley


    I’d be up for this. Either of the first two weekends in December would suit.

    November I’m pretty free aswell but Christmas drinks would feel a bit wrong!

    14th is looking good so far.

    Would be good to make some provisional bookings which we can always cancel. Venues do be jammed in December.

    I'd say you'd be doing well to book somewhere even now. The sooner a date is picked the better.

    It's only 15/16 Nov & 6/7 Dec are out for me, but like Clara, don't book to suit me.

    Saturdays would suit better, but if it was decided early enough Fridays are good too.

    13th has also now become a no go for me


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Friday 20th December
    They have availability on the 14th but need a non-refundable deposit for it, so we need to be sure of the date.

    Oh really? That's new! Well, I'm definitely up for the 14th anyway.
