Breakfast Roll - March 7th

[Coxy]

I was thinking of organising another meet/run for March called the Breakfast Roll because we could meet up somewhere for, as you might guess..........breakfast and maybe a cruise :blink:
We can hang around chatting afterwards or go for a run. How does Sunday March 7th suit people? Would Portlaoise or Athlone be preferred locations?
I'm hoping the Feb Breakfast Roll will go well and therefore this would stand a fighting chance. It's not meant to be a day long thing as most of you have young families and giving up a day is not too easy so the plan is for a casual early morning meet leaving the rest of the day free to do your own thing. The only reason I am suggesting the midlands is to open it up to more members but if this isn't a runner we can keep it regional which could be every other month going forward. That way you hopefully have the opportunity to get to one in your location or travel a bit to get to a national meet.
Opinions please!

EDIT:
Meeting at Hodson Bay Hotel, Sunday March 7th @ 9:30 'ish' for breakfast. There is an area held for us in the main dining room. There will also be an area for parking overlooking the lake.
Re: the cruise, can someone take look at this as I don't know the area?

I'd be up for this!!

 

[kvinyl]

Me too, if its Athlone...

 

[trev]

Portlaoise is perfect for me but I could try to make an effort and get to Athlone

 

[Aidan]

I'd be able to make Portlaoise - I'd probably be up for Athlone too but I'll probably regret saying that...

 

[Mikey]

Both should be good for me

The name is clever! Im not a morning person though so I wouldnt go for this myself. The evening meets are more my style.

Easter Saturday, I might get to that :cooool:

I thought we were going to have this (the March meet) in the place where we had the AGM.

 

[JustinOval]

The meets will be wherever somebody/anybody decides to organise them.

THis will go ahead, its like Justin said its just a matter of someone starting a thread and getting the ball rolling. (i've enough to deal with at the moment so I'm not organising it but I will attend if i can)

 

[Greatballsoffire57]

What's involved in organising these things as I might be able to organise something in Portlaoise as I am only about 9 miles from there. That place where we had the AGM is an ideal spot.

 

[Coxy]

Just pick a date and location/meeting point/poss drive route etc. Then put up a post with all the info.

I reckon it's time we all started using the forum calendar, http://www.eircooled.com/deforum/calendar.php

It would help in visualising when these meets are going to happen.

I've added the Breakfast Rolls for March & April. Do we have a date and place for Feb?

To the forum mods: Is there a way of showing the events in a different colour in the yearly view? That way we can see the dispersion of events and fill in any gaps....
