Meet Ups - Trips and Networking

Johnny Be Goode · 08-07-2014 7:35pm #1

It has been suggested to set up a special thread to assist posters to arrange meets ups to enable networking meetings and to arrange open investigations. Got good feedback on last Friday's meet-up so hopefully this new thread will streamline things a little bit. All the best. JBG

Count me in for this !

Johnny Be Goode · 09-07-2014 3:13pm

Hi everyone,

Will we go for a meet-up again for Fri 18 Jul in Dublin? Any suggestions for location? City Centre again or some where else in Dublin?

The last one was for 8 pm and lasted 1 hour or so.

Calling experienced and newbies. Hopefully we can firm up on possible locations for investigations.

For future meet ups perhaps some established Paranormal Investigation groups can PM me if they would like to attend with tips and observations on investigating private and public locations. Removing the glamour and mystique of investigations and talking about the 'real' world of paranormal investigations would help people I think? What do you think?....

Johnny Be Goode · 11-07-2014 4:29pm

Or better still each paranormal team sends a representative to give a talk with a Q&A at the end. If there was interest in this larger scale talk, I'd get a meeting room, PA if necessary

No idea. Theres plenty of people interested in the paranormal since plenty go on the haunted carlow walk and over the past year Ive had a good few people with me when checking out the shopping centre. Not too sure though how many would be bothered joining a team though.

Thanks for that post. I have moved myself to this thread as my reply may be best placed here(?)

It is not necessarily ALL ABOUT 'joining a team' .

The meets are also about people turning up talk/discussing paranormal topics and if they do not want to go off on an 'open' investigation, or join a new team, …. no problem …. they don't have to.

Although a New Team could be set up if anyone interested get on and are committed etc there would also be, in my view, a group that would meet up regularly to talk etc.

People would also arrange to go off to nights away on an 'Open' night (say Charleville Castle), even if they don't join a New Team,

If we could get this up and running in Dublin and then Carlow or Kildare might be a runner too,

It success is dependent on everyone interested, if it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't, but the feed back from Dublin initial meet was good and looking forward to this Friday's …

maccored · 16-07-2014 2:01pm

You should name the project, make a facebook page and see what interest you can garner from there. I find facebook great when you want to organise bodies for meets etc.

maccored · 16-07-2014 2:04pm

Ive mentioned it before and I will mention it again - I can organise visits to carlow shopping centre if anyone is interested (check out http://leinsterparanormal.com/v1/?p=1062 for stuff we found this year). Small groups of less than 5 are usually best. I know the security people well so it works out pretty cheap.

Johnny Be Goode · 17-07-2014 9:39pm

Reminder about Dublin meet up tomorrow Fri 18 in Dublin City centre. Please pm me for time and location if you are interested in going. New and experienced paranormal enthusiasts welcome. JBG

Johnny Be Goode · 24-07-2014 12:44pm

Next Meet-up is next Thursday 31 July in Dublin City centre. I expect to have news of first investigation by then. All welcome, experienced and newbies luke me. Please PM for details. JBG

Johnny Be Goode · 25-07-2014 9:52pm

This Thursdays 31 Jul meeting will have details of organised open investigation(s) to kick things off ....

stormkeeper · 27-07-2014 2:45pm

I'd be interested in one day attending one of these meetings, but I wouldn't be a permanent fixture and it's all dependent on when I can get over to Ireland too!

Johnny Be Goode · 28-07-2014 11:07am

Yeah Stormkeeper, we are trying to keep these meetings up (every two weeks, Dublin initially) so great, see you when we see you. Hopefully people can go when ever it suits them, dropping in from time to time or for each meet up. We hope to have news by this Thursday's meet-up of our first investigation so watch this space!!! JBG

Johnny Be Goode · 28-07-2014 9:12pm

Wicklow Gaol is the first investigation we are organising. Details and bookings at meet-ups. Places limited to 10 people.... Taking place in Sep ... PM for meet-up details (this Thursday in Dublin City centre) .... JBG

Johnny Be Goode · 29-07-2014 6:04pm

I have been asked by people to confirm: Yes, people who attend meet-ups between now and Sep will be given preference over the places to Wicklow Gaol.

Riamfada · 29-07-2014 10:10pm

Just waiting for a list of available dates from the location. Its looking like it won't be a group led thing but a bunch of us.

Not2Good · 06-08-2014 1:57pm

Hello, how many people have been on an organized investigation and what were your experiences?

I see Wicklow Gaol is on the cards soon, I can't wait!

Ive been to Castle Palooza to visit Harriet and the crypts under Strongbows church in Dublin, Christchurch.

JBG - Is it sept now instead of aug?

Not2Good · 26-08-2014 8:26pm

What is the best paranormal investigation that you have participated in?

Not2Good · 07-09-2014 8:46pm

We will be starting up our 'Meet-ups' on Friday 12 Sep in Dublin city centre in advance of Wicklow Gaol investigation. As well as dealing with any queries it is a good chance for all ten people to meet in person before hand.

Also, the method of payment of fee in advance will be confirmed shortly thereby securing your place. All the best....

Corkgirl210 · 07-09-2014 11:37pm

sounds good

Riamfada · 10-09-2014 10:38am

Hey ! Wicklow Gaol has confirmed so let us know if your coming

Corkgirl210 · 10-09-2014 11:41am

A quick reminder about tonights meet up in coffee shop in Dublin City Centre at 8pm. It will be only be for an hour but it is a good chance to discuss Wicklow Gaol investigation coming up in two weeks time and to secure your place!

Not2Good · 16-09-2014 10:23pm

I leaving it up to someone else to suggest a date and place for the next meet up.... any takers?

Not2Good · 22-09-2014 8:19am

Somebody at a meet up suggested a sort of 'Ghost Club'. Although the 'departed' should have a social life too I know that it was meant that the meet ups could be more diverse perhaps e.g. not just about investigations chat but more social eg films and books discussed etc. Any suggestions?

Riamfada · 25-09-2014 4:34pm

Just to mention. The Wicklow investigation was cancelled Im afraid. As of 5 days before the event only 4 (including myself and N2G) had confirmed. Sorry.

Not2Good · 25-09-2014 4:44pm

It is a pity really but I would be interested to see why the low take-up.

e.g. nervous going on first open investigation?
Cost too much?
Been there done that?
Too far away?

Not2Good · 25-09-2014 6:20pm

Anyone interested in attending a paranormal meet up in Dublin City Centre tomorrow evening at 8pm. Lets see how spontaneous you all are? It would only be for an hour. Two people want to go ahead so far…. If so please public post that you are interested and we can confirm the venue (normally on Dame Street) ….

Location didn't suit me. With no car and no lift the times and location didn't suit. If it was somewhere in Dublin I'd absolutely attend.

Not2Good · 05-01-2015 9:54pm

Reminding everyone that this thread can be used by anyone trying to arrange a paranormal related meet up or outings. Maybe your 2015 new years resolution is to go on a paranormal investigation ..... !

Not2Good · 03-02-2015 6:27pm

Someone should start again and let the meet ups be in a pub and paranormal topics discussed over a couple of pints (or what ever your tipple is!) Not just Dublin but anywhere that like-minded people want to talk paranormal....

Loughc · 16-02-2015 1:55pm

Prob the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know why Not2Good closed his account? I know he had an account as JohnnyBeGoode and closed that a while back, just wasn't expecting him to close this account, I was hoping to arrange more social outings with him if he was still interested in getting a group together.

Cheers, thanks, I see there are new paranormal posters, it's more interesting with new ideas and stories…

IamtooGoode · 01-05-2015 12:34pm

Paranormal Chat Meet-up at 6pm, Monday 11 May 2015 in Dublin City Centre for all yee interested in discussing all things Paranormal. Please PM for venue. Why not pop in after work. It is only for an hour.

IamtooGoode · 01-05-2015 2:03pm

I believe there were a few interest last year and a number of meet-ups went ahead in Dublin
with 3 to 6 people attending each time

IamtooGoode · 03-05-2015 12:43pm

Two of last years meet ups' participants went on to join a Dublin based Paranormal Investigation Team which started last August and is going on from strength to strength and have covered a lot of investigations since. The purpose of these meet ups is to see who is interested and want more than posting about it. Thanks to everyone who supported last years meet ups. Its only getting yourself out there, go to 'Paranormal' meet ups that you will meet like minded people ...

IamtooGoode · 12-05-2015 8:17am

After last night's meet- up it is worth running another one on Monday, 18 May, 6pm, please again PM for venue...

IamtooGoode · 16-05-2015 10:13pm

Meet up for this Monday 18 May moved to 7:15pm in Dublin. Please PM me for venue...

IamtooGoode · 17-05-2015 4:55pm

There will be three members of a paranormal investigation team (based in Dublin) meeting us tomorrow, Mon 18 May 15.

IamtooGoode · 25-05-2015 10:58am

Meet up tonight at 7:15 pm near Dublin city centre. we chat about all things paranormal, 8 people there last Monday. Same have indicated coming for tonight, three new people last Monday, lasts for 1 hour but some stay on... PM me for location

Riamfada · 25-05-2015 10:48pm

Ill be there next Monday. Sorry I couldnt make tonight. Looking forward to getting more involved again.

IamtooGoode · 26-05-2015 9:26am

Hi Riamfada,

No problem.

We had seven people at last night's (Including one newbie, and two people who were on their second meet-up with us).

Next meet-up is on Tuesday (because Monday is a bank holiday) 2 June at 7:15.

We will be discussing the upcoming 'Open' investigation that is nearly full now.

Best

I

maccored · 26-05-2015 1:20pm

good work lads

IamtooGoode · 02-06-2015 12:30pm

A reminder that our Meet-up group is getting together at 7:15pm today in Dublin. I am expecting more than the 7 from last week's one, interesting topics discussed last week.

Also two newbies were 'discussing' the pro's and con's of ghost voice apps. I am not a big fan of these at all and I know that some of you guys and gals disapprove too but I suggested letting him have his say as at the meet-ups all views and opinions are listened to. I would be interested to see if the app could be tested somehow, maybe an EMF/temperature reading taken when the alleged 'voice' come through. I guess no investigator can 100% say NO without at least testing it… but yet again there is no 'gold standard' tests for these kind of things ….

maccored · 02-06-2015 2:12pm

the problem is that they actively use radio interference. that in itself should discount such apps and devices considering they are polluting the audio environment with external signals. Really, I could claim saucepans can communicate with the dead ... does that mean everyone has to test every kind of saucepan just in case?

IamtooGoode · 02-06-2015 2:50pm

Yeah, the saucepan test was a waste of time! just kidding … from my point of view letting someone bring their apps thingy once is no harm so long as they (or anyone else) dont get distracted by it … but if it leads them to forsake it and get involved with what the rest of the team is doing the second and third time around .. great
