Hi All
Anybody know what that thing is being built in the grounds Of the Clayton hotel in Ballybrit? I though at first it was a tent but now they're adding metal so it my be a permanent structure......

Cheers

I heard it's for the Boston Scientific Barbecue (some sort of anniversary of theirs), they're having the Saw Doctors and the Blizzards play at it.

Yeah saw that alright. My first thought was that it has to be something to do with the arts festival or races. Like a big outdoor BBQ or smoking area. It is pretty massive for that though.

I haven't seen this structure but I think its called the Dome.

Is it a Golden Blanket to match the Almighty Cushion

Boston scientific often use marquees for their bbqs. Metal framework, timber floors, canvas covers and roof. Some of these are unbelievably massive!

It's probably some sort of death ray.

I believe Mr Enda Kenny demands it be ready in time so that he can finally destroy FF and take over the country, his been preparing his evil cackle all year in anticipation.

Heard its costing 180K for the party. About 20K of that going to a Charity. I was at the 10 year one in the Rad and it was the biggest party I was at ever. No expense spared.
The dome is staying for the Galway Races.

No. Last year they gave away a Hybrid car worth 27K. A great prize. The guy who won it can't drive
