I was over in Kinnity Castle yesterday, I was thinking it might be a nice place to go on the next Portlaoise Breakfast Roll run. It would be lovely to get a few photos of the Beetles in front of the castle. I told the girl at reception that we might be going over in a months time or so for a few photos. She told me to give her a few days notice so that she could have the carpark at the front of the castle clear for us to park in. The only little problem I see is that there are a few speed ramps on the avenue up to the castle which could be a problem if we had any lowered cars going. I'd say most cars would get over them fine though but I just thought I'd mention it.

So who would be up for this and could we pick a date if we are going?

Just while I think of it, she said that a weekday would suit better as the Castle wouldn't be as busy. I told her that it would probably be a Saturday that we would be going over. I suppose a weekday wouldn't suit people in the club though? with work ect.

I'd be up for it, on the assumption I'm back on the road by then.

I thought Kinnitty Castle had closed?

Nick

I think it's under new ownership now. It was open yesterday anyway.

I hope you get the bus sorted and that its nothing too serious.

And I think we will stick with a Saturday.

Are we having this next weekend the 3rd lads ??

No. The workshop is that day. How about Saturday 10th July? Or what other date suits most people?

Edit: Actually we cant have it on the 10th as the Wicklow run is on that day!! What date suits people?? Martin Murrays is the second last week in July so we can't have it that day either. So either Sat 17th or 31st July. Or else leave it till August.
