The setting up the Poll thingy is a bit confusing (at least it was for me, when I did one a few years back). When you create the poll, it asks you if you want to allow 'multiple votes' - I took this to mean that it allows more than one person to vote but it obviously means allow each person to vote multiple times. I presume that's what has happened in this case.  ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

We believe u Rolo though thousands wouldnt. See this is what happens when you take the job out of the "official" social secetary's hands personally would prefer the 3rd myself town or harrys whichever suits but I think the 4th is more popular so hows about deciding a date first then go for the venue so all in favour of the 4th ( taking into account of course that I cant go that night...................) so yeh here ------------- Blondie I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it ! |

Atta girl J, you tell them. Only way to do this ( and those of you who remember the best attended and most enjoyable nights we have had ( Les and Mary's Aussie outing , Teresa's night out for the guests and Carol's Neptune adventure ) will also remember that the date and venue were a given and punters pitched up if they could, always in great numbers,I may add. Just think that the poll allows for too many variables and that sometimes plans fall by the wayside. So , social secretary, what's it to be ?

This is looking, to me, like more and more of an option (even though I think Martin was probably joking at the time - werent you?? ).
The way things stand - If people aren't available for the night that is chosen for our drinkies night then they miss out altogether. So, my suggestion is that those who can only make 3rd December go to that get-together and those that can only make 4th December, go to that get-together. If anyone can make both nights (lucky them!) then they can attend both nights! I know that we won't be all together on the one night with this option but it might be a good compromise? If the "new" Poll is anything to go by, 14 votes for a Rock Bar in Dublin on Friday 3rd December and 15 votes for Harry Byrnes on Saturday 4th December, people seem to be pretty split on this so perhaps two nights might be best. Everyone, of course, should they wish, could come to both. Let's be honest, we aint ever gonna get a venue and date that suits everyone on here.

Seriously, dude, I know that some of the gang don't like town (I count myself, but not the only person, amongst that number) and, conversely, I'd imagine that others find Harry Byrne's hard to get to.

I'm sure someone will send a text message to Cecil, or give him a ring, Jackie. I would send him a text but I don't have his number. Re starting time, I suspect you'll get various responses, depending on the individual. I think I'll head down between 8pm and 8.30pm, personally, as it's a Saturday and close to Christmas and likely to be jammers. If the 'snug' at the back is still free then I might try to "hold" the place until others arrive (unless Rolo can use his conections to book the spot???

Gave up trying to organise a get together on the 3rd and went with one night only (HBs on the 4th). A slight thaw is expected on east coast on Friday as rain arrives and temperatures rise a little. There is then no more snow is expected afterwards for the rest of the weekend though it will remain very cold. By Saturday, I am optimistic that travel to/from HBs will be ok as long as we are well wrapped up! ------------- UA "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity but an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty" |

Weather forecast on tv just now not as optimistic as previous forecast above. Apparently the rain from the west will meet the cold air from the east on friday and may bring more snow on friday evening. ------------- UA "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity but an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty" |

If it's just rain/cold/windy then I'm still good to go for
Saturday but if it's still snow and ice on the roads then I probably won't travel. Edit: The Meteireann forecast looks somewhat optimistic, so fingers crossed. :) ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

Few of us locals will be on the premises I would imagine Jackie. You
won't have to put up with Shar all by yourself. |
