LMAO, oh and wheres the MILF if we want to start that one too??

And if Simons snoring IS that bad then I shall bring my standard Galway Airshow ear plugs just as a precaution. But I have to say, you havent heard me either so between us we should sound pretty lively indeed!!!

Remember the 27th is the night of the Halloween boards beers.

I'd love to tag along... but can't do anything before the 20th as I'm out of the country.

6th

Is my name being dragged throught the mud here? I'll be tied up for the next while so no trip for me

So it's bondage you're into these days, then?

Jaysus is there something in the water here the last few days? Its like a carry on movie :rolleyes:

Mike there is no 'if' about Simon's snoring. Earplugs are futile.

I have no idea what I'll be up to that weekend, but I have a feeling I'll be in Cork - there's something in the back of my head about that..

I'll alert the border patrol in advance

Anyone who has a Holga bring it I heard their particularly susceptible to ectoplasm.

Fajitas!

Mine's now a pinhole camera. Even better for that kinda thing!

Sebzy

At the moment having a tad bit of problem locking the castle down to a date in October it's either no staff or something else on conflicting.

So will be down there Wednesday and will post back a final date.

Thanks challengemaster for the bump

Was talking to the castle last week but still have a few issues with the dates. just trying to accommodate everyone.

Now I'm just waiting for a replay form the castle staff about new dates.

grand - I'm fairly interested in going to this - new camera and all so i want to get clickin' - and it'll be nice to meet most of ye, might learn a thing or two.. and the fact its ~30 mins to get there.. or something like, its handy

Benster

Can I throw my hat in the ring here for this too? And is there a restriction on bringing non-Boards people? I have a friend who's kind of a beginner in the photographic black arts and he would be very keen on this too.

It all depends on numbers if there's a lot of interest we might have to limit it to boards only and in extremes maybe a first come or even a regulars basis. Wont know until I get the dates sorted and begin registration.

Sebzy

Ok dates have been set and a new thread is now up.

Sorry to dig up this old thread but this is important.

As you all know charleville castle had been very good to boards members over the past few years hosting our photo weekends. Now they need our help.



Any help is much appreciated.

Was there a need to dig up two old threads?

Yes there was .
People who attended previous castle weekends would have subscribed to these threads to in order to reach them the threads were resurrected.

Dodgykeeper

Actually it was three threads that you dug up, now how in gods name was there a justification for digging up three old threads to tell us that some castle needs a oven!

A little more detail would be good aswell, Is the Volunteer Kitchen used to feed Homeless people or people who are staying in the castle, if you want people to part with hard earned cash you need to give them more detail!

Bickering about this is not productive. Please read the the appeal as it contains all relevant information.


Thank you.

Is this the stove that Thonda did the cooking on ?

The Volunteer Kitchen is the kitchen in the castle used by the
volunteers that are maintaining and restoring the castle.

They get very little funding for the work which they are doing for free.
Funding is mainly for materials etc...

When the group of us went there to take photos last year, we
all donated €20 each to the castle. Turned out that money was
used to pay for the gas for the stove for the month.

We were well looked after when we were there and I hope to be able
to go again this year if there is a trip organised.

Hope to setup another trip in a few months.

Any help is very much appreciated.

^^^ - it is not me, my behind is much nicer!

I was not bickering I was just wondering why you felt the need to raise three old posts to make one point, maybe you felt that the best way to get a new oven would be to clog up the photo forum with requests!

Anyway I work in the catering industry and will keep an eye out for an oven that is being decommisioned that maybe they could use for parts, could you get me a make and model number, also due to the downturn a lot of catering outlets are going to the wall, keep an eye on the newspapers for kitchen contents sales and the auction houses where liquidators sometimes sell off items such as this for a song.

I will keep an eye out
