TLL New Year Dinner and Drinks - 21/01/2012 Dublin

    In the private forum we ran a poll to decide on a date for this and came out with January 21st. There's about 10 or so people looking to go on that day so hopefully if even half of them and a few more from the main forum turn up we might get some good numbers.

    Plan is to book a dinner for those who want dinner and then head for some cocktails/beer/whatever so those who can't make or don't want dinner might meet up for drinks or vice versa.

    Lots of new years resolutions in here about getting out more and making new friends so this is a good opportunity for people to do this. :)

    Anyway, I'm going to book a table closer to the time for dinner when we've decided on a venue. Suggestions for dinner so far have been Cafe Topolis (my preference - PIZZA :D ), The Bakehouse or to go for Tapas. Other suggestions + suggestions for drinks venue are most welcome.

    If you're interested in meeting for the dinner can you list your name below or in the private forum thread if you prefer, that'll make it easier for me to send out pm's and make sure I have enough seats booked for dinner etc

    Boys/lurkers also welcome. :)

    I suggested the bakehouse but come to think of it it is the kind of food you go to bed after (bread & cakes & pies and stuff) rather than go out for cocktails after. Either pizza or tapas sound very good to me!

    Oooooooh sounds fun! How tempting!

    Have to wait til I find out the work roster.. Hope i'm off! :)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 20,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭RacoonQueen


    Shall we say Topolis this time then?

    And any recommendations for a drinks venue? Anyone just interested in joining for post dinner drinks?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia


    Aw man I coulda actually gone this time! No work or college.


    But I'll be in London.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,057 ✭✭✭MissFlitworth


    Topolis sounds smashing. I'll have to head after dinner because have a full days cramming planned for the day after so no fancy drinks for me. Just pizzas. Lots and lots of pizzas

    I was going to ask for suggestions on that. It's a Saturday so any time suits me really.

    Likewise. :)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 20,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭RacoonQueen


    That's not a time suggestion girls. :p

    7pm? Depending on how many courses people have and how much wine is drank we'd probably be leaving there at 9ish then and onto somewhere else for cocktails or whatever.

    I can probably only go on for one drink now but food means more to me than drink anyway! :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,551 ✭✭✭panda100


    Where are we going for the dins,and what pub are we meeting people in afterwards?

    Have booked a table and think I have pmed everyone who still seemed to be interested. Sorry if I've missed you, can let me know if I have missed you so I can sort the numbers for dinner again.

    No location picked yet for post-dinner drinks, but, there doesn't seem to be much interest in non-dinner attendees going for drinks? If there is anyone interested in just drinks can they let me know so we can let you know where we're headed.

    Also, I think most people on the list haven't met any boardsies before so don't let it put you off that you don't know anyone. I'm sure everyone else is as lovely as myself, RK and bluewolf. :D
