    So it's been mentioned on the big long Balbriggan thread we have going and I reckon it's a pretty good idea.

    So how about we have a poll to see what dates people are available? I'll make it multiple choice so click on all the ones you can attend and the date with the most votes wins :)

    Beers! What date? 36 votes

    hehe Ok but it has to be the rocky beach for the drinking!

    As for venue, maybe O'Shea's? Easier to slip upstairs for a boogie afterwards :)

    Heh....maybe not :p

    I don't mind where once it's not John D's and I think McCormack's would be a bit too small and quiet for it. Could lead to extra awkwardness. :)

    But yea...get voting people!

    The Harvest Bar is nice now that they've extended it, plus they're good for a late one ;) Might be a bit crowded on a weekend night, though.

    Well, any idea on when this session is going to happen?

    I am off on my holliers for a week and hopefully when I get back there will be a night out organised for us.

    (Wow, I might get to meet some geeks:p )

    The ball is now in your court Peachy...

    Ah I'm sure we can let a few Rush heads come along :) Once you don't mind coming to Balbriggan.

    So, lets decide on a date. If people can only make it on the 11th/12th then not to worry...I can go to the next one.

    Last few times I've been in O'Shea's of a weekend its usually pretty quiet until about 10:00 - 10:30 and by the time the night clubs are ready to open the place is jammers. Could easily head down around 8:30 or so and get a table that way.

    Unless anyone wants to head elsewhere.

    I nominate Moonbeam to sort something out.

    Wednesdays are good for me.

    I should be available, but I play indoor football on Wednesday, so probably wouldn't get there until 10.15-10.30. I'll make the effort though.
