What do we think?

Neptune seems obvious choice-always good to mingle around and good jukebox. Would have to be a Friday or Saturday night though.

OR somewhere in NCD&B? Swords as previously mentioned? Or even Smyths again-nice little snug to ourselves?

Smyths would be nice - might be a bit busier on a Friday/Saturday though.

Hi guys, like the idea of another get together and obviously it's the will of the majority that will hold sway................

But if i could just say this.

Coming up to Christmas, what with work parties, family stuff,all the mad preparations and other social events I would imagine that it's going to be really difficult to get a night that suits a decent number of people. After Christmas however, say weekend of 12/13 January, a night out might be just what people need having spent the previous two weeks recovering from the excesses of the festive season.

PS I also think that Carol will be around that weekend, in between her various travels and stuff.

So, in a nutshell, while I would prefer the thought of a pre Christmas get together, perhaps a early January migh be more practical.

Hi all..

I tend to agree with you Rolo. I will be back from NY on the 11th of January and leave to go back to Perth on the 18th so could arrange to go for drinks on the 12th or 13th.

I think Rolo's suggestion is a good one (is this a first?). and has the added advantage of allowing the Perth representative to attend.

I think lets have a few drinkies both before and after Christmas Problem sorted!!!
and I think Smyths would be the ideal spot central for everyone and we could phone up Smyths before hand and ask them to corner of the snug for us ??

whilst all in favour of pre Christmas drinks, the chances of my availability will increase significantly post christmas. Or at least I hope it will

so that's everyone casting their votes for pre Christmas

 

My suggestion is to head out to Swords and catch a groovy little group called Room for One More. Believe the women just go mad for the guitarist

Why not - it's time to hit NCD again, it's not that far away from us city council types and it's music and fun - the thing that brought us all together in the first place?

I'd love to do the after Christmas night out in January but I suspect I'll ber busy that weekend. My birthday's the 9th and Ciara's is on the 13th so I'll probably be out for mine or running around organising her's.

My vote goes to before Christmas in Smyth's but let's see what way the herd moves.

I have to agree with Rolo....After the christmas would suit me and Robbie better. I know we are busy most weekends between now and Christmas.
I would also like to say that The Neptune would suit us better than Smyths cos it's a long journey from Clonsilla to Malahide and we'd have to drive cos no bus service connects both. But we will go with the majority.......

I reckon Drinks before and after and those that can make it can. Not sure how I'll be fixed but will do my utmost to make it to both!  

Re Venue - Would be very happy to go anywhere once I can share a taxi home.

Have to agree with Rolo on this one weekends between now and christmas are pretty much out for me could poss do weekday but will wait  and see what date is decided.

Regarding venue I'm with Bluebell malahide is either a drive or very expensive taxi from blanach .

Town as was seen from the button factory seemed to suit everyone

thats my two pennyworth anyway
