I think it's a grand idea. I will feel bad if I only go to a cork one though, so quicks get a dublin one going afterwards too
. A Galway one sounds good too. I have 105.48 exactly to my name though, and I don't intend to work for the rest of the summer either 0 -

We must have one in Galway too! Because I'm new and intrigued... I'll be back there late in August, I can cook curry or noodle stir-fry for everyone! Vegan of course
I also make good vegan cookies and apple crumble... I know some Galway veggies, I can lure them in... 0 -
There are at least 5 people on this forum who live in cork at the moment, so I think you guys should deffo pick a date that suits you all. I spent weeks trying to fix a date for that picnic last weekend and in the end 6 people attended (enjoyed myself, thanks again). So as you can see, you don't need everyone to turn up, just so long as it suits those of you that are local most of all. Good luck in organising a date It's tough!
As for Galway, it is a great town, but does anyone in the forum live there? Money-wise it makes sense to meet where a good few of ous veggie boardsies live. Plus, vegan wise, Galway is tough. There is that one vegan shepard's pie in that place on lower abbeygate stree (where the staff don't necessarily know what a vegan diet is). There are some options at the market though... Can't remember the specifics about the govindas stand... but I am scared about butter in recipes in the place of oil.
Edit: didn't notice your offer to be a cook for us all there DonnieScribbles! That changes everything*woohooo vegan food* 0 -

Hostel would be fun if we have a few going. 0 -
A Cork one would be fantastic, a Galway one would be doable for me as well coz I'm up and down to that neck of the woods to see my parents. And I'm a vegan of leisure btw so if there is a Cork one I'll volunteer to go get people from the bus or whatever if they're afraid of getting lost 0

I looooove staying in hostels with friends, they are so much fun. Did it with my class in edinburgh, ohh the mischief.Hostel would be fun if we have a few going.
Also in a hotel in limerick and went paintballing drinking for the weekend, little trips like them are the best.
There was a pool table and a giant connect four game in edinburgh hostel hehe. Cheap too.
Would be great if a few came down.
Maybe I should say feck my old apartment in galway, hostel there sounds fun too haha.Arya Happy Voyage wrote: »A Cork one would be fantastic, a Galway one would be doable for me as well coz I'm up and down to that neck of the woods to see my parents.

Veggie weekend trip somewhere would be fun, hard to do, or get interest, though maybe. 0 -

I would be well interested in it. A mountain trip perhaps, a camping trip of some nature. These days I'm having trouble in bonfire situations when people are cooking limpets and sausages and the like, and I'm able to do nothing but boil water. So a useful vegetarian learning experience it would be too. And after a few succesful regular meetups it will most likely gain popularity.0 -

Would be cool, or even a less ambitious one to start with haha. Like a hostel for a weekend, with drinking, shopping and markets.
Would love to go camping though. oooh fire0 -

You should check out the MeetUp.com folks - organized by the Irish Vegetarian Society but you don't have to be a member, just a member on MeetUp .com (free). They just had a weekend away in the Mourne mountains last weekend.
http://vegetarian.meetup.com/485/
I've been to a few of the Dublin ones - nice folks, slightly greater spread of ages...and looks like a bit of a cross pollination already, guessing from the name of the newest member 0 -

Sounds cool, will have to borrow my friends tent and sleeping bag again. Heaven forfend I actually buy my own one day.khrystyna100 wrote: »Ok deadly loads of interest, heres an idea if yer interested, I live in the sticks bout 40 min drive (1/2 hr on the train) outside cork, we've a huge garden and field with the house so if ye'd like we could have a barbeque at my place and everyone can camp around the house in the garden or field if they liked (we've even got an outside toilet in the barn). The countryside around me is lovely and if we had a few cars we could transport everyone no bother.
We could always have a day around the city and then head out to the house later on in the evening after doing the markets etc..
Got 4 cats, a kitten and a sheepdog for free cuddles too!
Ooooh, tent friend also making wine, from rasberries or something. SOunds like a good summer!khrystyna100 wrote: »Did I mention my 5 gallons of homebrewed apple and elderflower wine is gonna be ready this week too....
I have 5 kittens.You had me at kitten cuddles. :P
God they are cute, I watch them so much just running around tricking each other.
Sweet! Can't be worse than me, I'm a learner. Let me drive, gwannn. heheJust a small word of warning.
The person who drives up front when I drive, gets to see the life threathening opportunities coming first. :P
Going out to practice in anticipation now.
I'll just sign up to it now, to try and get them on boards, haha.Thoushaltnot wrote: »You should check out the MeetUp.com folks - organized by the Irish Vegetarian Society but you don't have to be a member, just a member on MeetUp .com (free).

If this happens sometime after August 18th, I'd love to come fraternise with your kittens! Otherwise I'll just have to hope for a Galway one. Which leads me too...sweet-rasmus wrote: »

Here's a Galway based idea: Everyone stays in Kinlay Hostel (think it's the cheapest central hostel) and then gets the bus and ferry out to the Aran Islands and one night camping out there? The place next door to the Kinlay sells the tickets... And I can cook for everyone! It'd be fun :pac:
But ye should probably organise your Cork one first!0 -

Wouldn't mind that at all, all my friends in NUIG went but I was too emo at the time and missed it. Would be nice to get a chance to go out there. Anybody know how to make fire? :-pDonnieScribbles wrote: »If this happens sometime after August 18th, I'd love to come fraternise with your kittens! Otherwise I'll just have to hope for a Galway one.

Hostel or camping would be cool! Drive down and let me drive your car. hehekhrystyna100 wrote: »Right hippies I made a poll there so get voting! I picked the dates cos I'm assuming we're going ahead with the camping trip at my place and these weekends suit me with work (I'll be on my holidays), either way the weather is supposed to be getting better now so woo hoo!Slaphead07 wrote: »No seriously, is there a hotel nearby? That said I'm not even sure if I can go yet.
Hmm, well hostels/hotels would be better if people don't like camping etc ( I don't even have camping gear as it standskhrystyna100 wrote: »No it's the countryside, camping and a BBQ was the cheapy option.)
If people do camping, some can stay camping and some in hotel/hostel perhaps. It should be easy to meet up with phones, have like a bbq, go to a market or whatever. Plus drinking in the same hostel room is great fun at night. heh.
So waht would be the nearest place to yours if somebody wanted a hostel/hotel? Some people really don't like camping etc and would be good to include everybody.
Good man(???). We could go for a drink in the evening?I sadly work weekends but would be up for popping along to anything in Cork
I've pmed some peeps my number about the last meet, not sure about you and slaphead, so if I haven't I'll let you guys know that too.0 -
