Karting is a bit iffy but im definatly on for the beers!

what pub ye going to? actually in case im not around for the next couple of days (missus is due to give birth)! can someone pm me with the final details?

or just post em up in nice big writing that i can see

Right so. I was just on to the lad about the karting.

Prices are €30 for a half hour, €50 for an hour.

I asked do they do it like the Grand Prix up in Kiltorcan and he siad that they kind of can. He basically said you each go around one car at a time to decide the qualifying, then line up and race.

But, if I'm honest, he didn't seem to really have a clue what he was talking about. It all sounded very unprofessional and I wasn't at all impressed when talking to him. He didn't really sound interested in getting the business!

So I just compared it to Kiltorcan and for the same €50 you get the proper Grand Prix with all the gear, timing equipment and marshals etc.


My proposal is that we scrap the karting for Saturday but go ahead with the beers. Then try to organise karting in Kiltorcan sometime in the new year. You need a minimum of 10 for the Grand Prix so we could open it up to the Kilkenny forums or something if we couldn't get numbers ourselves, although I think we would if people had a bit of notice.

What does everyone think?

Opening it up to the Kilkenny forum makes sense if the carting is going to be in Kiltorcan, ok not everyone might head for the beers after but atleast you'd get the carting

Yep, that's what I was thinking. And I was actually only thinking of the karting as a stand-alone thing but we could easily do another beers. It'd be good to have them once or twice a year seeing as so many of us spend so much time on here!

ziedth

that sounds like a much better idea. Just beers it is so?

AdMMM

Sounds good to me either way. Don't care where we go either because we'll be part of a group and hopefully be able to liven up even the quietest of pubs

Odats

Suits me down to the ground also. Should be good craic and take my mind off these damn tax returns:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Sully

Fine by me. Doesn't Kiltorcan do group rates anyway? Funny how a poor sales man can turn you away

ziedth

coolie,

i guess around 8ish in downes so seems to be the idea for those out there who haven't bothered reading all the posts . Should be a good laugh! Now it had occured to me how are we going to "meet" in downes? I can imagine us looking like we're internet dating if we wonder around asking people are part of boards.ie

My suggestion would be anyone who wants to PM me and i'll give you my mob and just throw me a text and i'll let you know where I/we are. I'm on the mobile site for the next few days so they'll be noreplys till friday but I will get back to you then.

Yeah I couldn't even call this guy a bad salesman because that would be doing bad salesmen a disservice!

The €50 in Kiltorcan is a group rate (as in over 10 people) but I think that they gave us a discount (~€5 a head) before when there was a group of 20 of us going.

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll PM you now.


@Sully: Maybe you could put the details in the announcement? Something like "Waterford Boards Beers: Downes' pub, Saturday November 7th, 8:00pm. Everyone welcome!" so that we could bring it to the attention of people who just skim over the forum?

beazee

I am the one for a karting. Let me know when.
As for the beers - busy weekend, i'm out
