Limerick monthly meetings

That's a shame..........I'll write you a sick note if you like. What would you like? The runs, a cold and a fierce bad cough????
No Title
Nice meeting last night at Pa McGrath's pub and in the warm sunshine too which was pleasant change:sunny:
There were 5 of us in total and we stayed chatting until it clouded over about 9:30pm..........waaaaaay passed our bedtimes anyway!
John arrived in his T25, Diarmuid in his lowered Oval, myself in the '75 Beetle, Alan arrived Beetle-less but in his new Passat - his orange Beetle was written off in France last year thanks to a gobshite who took the side off it at speed. He was looking for a replacement Beetle when his daily died which has pushed his hunt for a new Bug back a bit
Tom also came along to a meeting for the first time. I met Tom recently and he has a 1978 Last Edition Beetle (www.lasteditionbeetle.org) in his garage that he is getting back on the road. The car was originally owned by his sister and brother-in-law but it's not ready for road just yet. It's very solid, just needs reinstating after a few years off the road. Tom rocked up in his new Caddy instead........"still a VW" he said
Hopefully he'll get his Beetle ready for August's meeting. His rare silver Last Edition Beetle is number 51 on the register www.lasteditionbeetle.org/lebdetail.php?lebId=051

Woops, forgot that tonight's the night :blush:
Is anyone around for a meet up at Pa McGrath's tonight?

I'm going to have to cry off as I've fecked my back up at lunchtime but it doesn't look like many would have been going anyway. If I can get drugs and get them to kick in I might take a Beetle for a spin later and see if anyone is there.
Hi folks, I was just contacted by Alan regarding the meeting and will there be one tonight. Though I know I've missed a few meets myself I was still surprised to see that the last post was made as far back as September. There's no doubt it is more difficult and there is certainly less enthusiasm for winter meets but perhaps going forward we at least need to maintain contact through the forum. I am available for tonight but will not have the bay as taking it out of storage and driving in the dark is just too awkward. Maybe for winter meets having our vehicles out isn't as important as making physical contact for a chat. A warm indoor venue with hot beverages etc. available is more important, rather than standing in the cold of a carpark looking at cars. We are over the hump of winter now and can start to look forward towards finer and longer evenings. Pa McGrath's tonight then for anyone who can make it? Check back here later to see if we have a crew.
Great point. You're right, we should try and meet up over the winter, cars or no cars.
I can't make it tonight though but hopefully more will rock up.
:imsorry:

Ok so, maybe too late to get a crew for tonight. Let's make a big effort to be available next month and in the meantime post any ideas (different venues, activities, etc.) that might make the meetings more interesting. It was mentioned before I'm sure but we could organize a run out to Killaloe or somesuch place for April or May. Keep in touch, use the forum.
