Dublin - Occasional monthly meetup

Hi,

I'm hoping to arrange an occasional Dublin meetup with some of the locals, and anyone passing though the city.

May Doodle

http://www.doodle.com/4dxupp52g4s3x8qn

If you're interested in meeting up, please use the above doodle to pick dates. PM me if you need any more dates added.

Aidan

No problem - done. You can also make your own changes if you want. I didn't include Sunday in the choice of days.

PM me if you really get stuck. You must be on an EI connection, and they are quite good with their connecting passengers. I think you'll be OK.

You should stopover on the way back!

He's actually doing a back to back on an OS charter for some reason... /shakes head/ and with our friends in the GNIB working in a, er /searches for a non-scurrilous term/ detail oriented fashion causing 2 and 3 hour backups for EU citizens, the chances of him clearing immigration and getting back to the D gates are close on Nil.

I'll call you aidanc if he's joining us a for a pint on Saturday evening.

Thanks aidanc (and GoldCircle - and ALL who attended or tried to attend thr drinks in December), for this option.

Lincoln Inn is a great location for getting in from the south side on the bus and is close to the bus and train options to get home. I really enjoyed the drinks and the Lincoln wasn't as crowded as the others, yet was a great old style pub.

I thank aidanc and family for some great hospitality and the proactive nature of this thread.
I hope I can swindle some more deals in order to get back to 'sunny' Dublin! It was great craic... thanxamillion!

BiziBB misses Dublin already... had to add Baileys to the espressos in BCN and now is off to raid the LH FRA larder... hope to be visiting again!

Love the thread title! Occasional monthly!!

Since I live just across the water I might venture to find what it's all about when Stena HSS is back in action and running more than one daily return trip. No, I won't do a back to back like szg.

It'll be monthly, but only occasionally

... but seriously, not every one is around enough to make a regular monthly meeting, hence occasional..
