im sure you will get a little more interest and if you could lower the cost you would definitely get 10 every week if not more..

Thats the eventual plan... The problem with that is we would need to block book the hall. It costs €75 for the once off booking but it would only be €60 a week if we block booked but this needs to be paid upon booking (as far as I know this is because we're not members)... So in order to block book I would need to a) collect the money for the booking in a lump sum or b) pay for it but need a guarantee of people showing up...

What you think?

hey all!

twas good craic! very relaxing!

im sure you will get a little more interest and if you could lower the cost you would definitely get 10 every week if not more..

if we get more people the cost will go down.
was €76 euro because we booked it as a once off,

if we block book it it will be €60 per session divided between the amount of people who want to play -
but for this to happen we would need a definite number of people to commit and possibly pay upfront.
this will make the price consistant.

unless we find a cheaper gym?

nialo · 19-10-2009 10:29am

Could ask ppl next time you get togther.. offer to block book for a month.and get ppl to pay in advance. so if you get a minimun number to pay in advance you can book it without problems. say at a reduced rate.. and anyone that turns up on the night that isnt paid in the monthly advance pays what it would be if it was a session at 75 euro.. makes more sense to pay in advance but also lets ppl just turn up too...

scottie pippen · 19-10-2009 10:30am

or what Shivvy said

nialo · 19-10-2009 10:31am

lol!

finding another gym also works if its cheaper.. central town is better too.. as everyone can get to it then, southsiders or northsiders.. to far south or north instantly excludes some ppl..

Are you suggesting that we could move away from next door to where you live? :eek: You would be willing to travel?? :eek:

:P
(also, told scottie pippen, that it was you yesterday - good and accurate description of yourself! :P)

scottie pippen · 19-10-2009 2:23pm

I posted up on the fitness forum
This was suggested, but it’s further out than the Sportsco and closes at 5 30 on weekends.

Its about €60 an hour... or was when we used it a couple of years back.

Delighted to hear this went ahead, and I'm sorry I couldn't make it in the end. How many players turned up? As I said, I'll defintely be up for this if it becomes a weekly event, and am available this weekend - although it is a bank holiday so that may impact on the numbers.

11 people showed up, shivvey and I paid up front, and then collected €7 from each person.

Some people mentioned that they would prefer to play on Monday because it’s a bank holiday weekend, but apart from that I think Sunday will be the usual day if it goes ahead

shivvyban · 20-10-2009 9:06am

Ok, so are we moving locations? I'm not sure of gyms with courts around the city centre....

We kinda need to sort something out for Monday today/tomorrow to ensure we have a court and so that we can notify people to get the numbers up.... It'll be easier for me to organise stuff once I hit pay day next wednesday!

I am happy enough with this location.

If we have 10 people willing to pay up front & block book the court for the month
it will work out at €6 a head for each session.
Overall €24 for the month.
Obviously with more people it will be cheaper.

10 will be the minimum number otherwise it will be too expensive

will people commit to this???

So its looking like people won't be able to make it this weekend.... Does anyone think we should leave it for this weekend and then organise the block booking the following week? I can sort out the booking on Wednesday and then collect the money from everyone on the Sunday.

How does this sound to people?

shivvyban · 21-10-2009 9:24am

Fantabulous logo - thanks to the boredom of Scottie Pippen!

I was thinking that too. As a quite a few people who attending on Sunday mentioned that they were away on Sunday.
So the block booking would be starting from Sunday 1st of November.
How does this sound to everyone?

Ps I’m up for an outdoor game in Fairview or Artane on Monday if the weather isn’t too bad

1ST OF NOVEMBER = Perfect for me! I'll sort out the booking...

P.S: Depending on weather I should be free for that too - am so poor this week anything free to do on the bank holiday weekend is welcome!

N-line · 21-10-2009 9:42pm

Thats ok N-line, it would just mean you'd be paying on a weekly basis

and weekly should only be about €6

Righto... am booking court tomorrow for a month starting with Sunday 1st November (Sunday coming)...

If you want to pay for the month it will be €24 (weekly, we'll go for €6), click the basketball logo in my sig to email me or if you'd like, PM me your interest including your email address.

I think we have the numbers to make this up! As soon as its booked I will be sending a group email to everyone's email that was given to me the last week along with the people who pm their details!

Exact times (am pretty sure we'll be sticking to the 6pm - 7pm time slot) and location will also be included in the email...
