this is next years

 

[Endfloat]

Ah ok! 8) My bad.

 

[Mr Browne]

If anyone else wants to oorganise this they are welcome but I am skipping it. There were only three people at it last year and last year was busy aroiund here compared to this year so good luck to it!!

Cancelled

 

[Ger]

Is this one really dead. Do I have to wait till March to show off Tom's handy work.

 

[Mr Browne]

I'll go if you swear on your grannies grave to go - I'm not going to end up on my own in the middle of Connemara Tom will probably go as well. Everyone else is a wuss.

 

[Ger]

I have to buy about six more sleeping bags but I'll go.

Now regarding the venue, with the liklehood of dry warm weather as low as it is at the end of Nov I wouldn't mind proposing a venue less isolated and closer to a public house. Music, roaring fire...maybe a hot toddy or two to prepare for the lack of creature comforts in a tent or camper.

Doolin and Kinvara spring to mind but I'm sure there are venue's more central to anyone interested in going.

 

[Endfloat]

Tarbert is a great little village with some nice traditional pubs.

 

[RattyOval]

I was practicing for this last Saturday night on the North coast in my tent and 2 sleeping bags

I might go if its a bit more central

 

[Roadcow]

Britt, Got treated like a lord
Great bunch of folk

 

[Mr Browne]

Sure if ye want central go to Birr. I don't mind - you tell me and I'll be there

 

[Brian Raftery]

There's a small camp site around the coner from Husdson bay hotel in Athlone, and its right on the lake with a pub 5 min walk away. I stayed there a few years ago, its not bad.

 

[Mr Browne]

Yeah I know it - it is grand - 15 mins from my house too so if it is a disaster I can go home and ye can stay there. Eh I mean we can all go to mine.

 

[richiemack]

ah why not have it in the country, athlone is crap. miltown malbay area has few spots close to pubs and scenic

 

[Mr Browne]

Hudson bay is nice - campsite is closed during winter though

 

[richiemack]

you cant see lidl in the picture luckily

 

[Mr Browne]

where-ever we go will have a 2 meter barrier to get under
