I'm only 50/50 on the Wednesday too BTW, I'm due to be way out the west coast on Tuesday night and it would be a bit of a squeeze to get back home in time for a change of vehicle to get to Barretstown on time.

Lads I can't commit to any of those dates just yet.

Pick a date, I'll do my best to work around it closer to the time when I know the date.

Nice one Trev

Anyone else interested.
Will I tell them we can't help out?

Cheers

I'm like Trev, I'd be up for any dates unless im out of the country. They're the best dates so far in the time we've been doing this and they should suit most members being weekends.

How about we put a list together? We need someone to drive this for 2017. Any takers to lead this? Come on folks,

1: Trev
2: Coxy
3: Mikey (not 100% sure until dates are confirmed)

Let's get this moving people. We need feedback, good and bad. Silence doesn't help us at all so with that in mind, can people respond and give us some feedback please?

Made the trip down before and it was brilliant. Fantastic people doing fantastic work and the kids loved the old yokes. (The vw's, not the owners)
I will definitely get down again this year, just not sure which dates will suit.
Saturdays or Sundays are probably better.. drive down at your leisure and make a day trip out of it.

Ok, well, we're not getting any response from you all to the dates listed so what if we pick 2 dates and run with those? Would that be easier for people to comment on and hopefully commit to?

Saturday July 1st:
1: Coxy
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:

Saturday August 5th:
1: Coxy
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:

If you are available for either dates or perhaps even both then please add your name. If you have a valid point that will help progress this please add it otherwise we're flogging a dead horse here. We also need to revert to Barretstown advising them if we can or cannot do this.

This was brought up at the last Kilkenny meet. I'd say you're right just to pick a date and roll with it Coxy.

It's a LOT of fun and extremely rewarding to see the kids reaction. As a club and as individual members I would ask that people please try to support these events.
