    So as Craguls pointed out we're all lazy bastards and no-one has given a time or place for meetup on Saturday, or a poll for attendance.

    I'm going to throw out that we go to the Leisureplex in Stillorgan for bowling and/or Q-zar (as mentioned tons of times before) at 4PM?

    If the time/event doesn't suit mention it here, could easily be changed, but figured if we all sat around refusing to plan it nothing would get done >.>, just give an idea of when you'd be able for it and we'll try accommodate, perhaps hold off on voting until it's finalised if you aren't sure?

    EDIT: Regardless when/where it is it'd be best to have a few people (at least one of which knows the way) to meet in Dublin city centre to bring anyone who doesn't know how to get there (such as myself).

    There was talk of holding more than one, no-one seemed to want to make any suggestions, therefore blame the culchies.

    If drinks are to be had that evening, I'll be there. Can't see me going to Stillorgan though.

    Edit: Might be a good idea to make the poll public so we know exactly who'll be at which event.

    It seemed to be the only suggestion that stuck really, and IMO it's a bit late to be trying to decide where to go, but like I'm just the guy who made the thread, feel free to prove me wrong if anyone has good ideas.

    I don't actually know how to get to Stillorgan but would be going into town anyway, anyone who wants it PM me for number anyway.

    No idea, I assume we'd head back into town so maybe somewhere there, if I do go I'd probably be leaving fairly early to get bus back to DCU.

    Don't know about trekking to Stillorgan, but I'd probably be around for drinks... Though, seeing as a couple of us are under 18, it'd probably make sense to choose somewhere that aren't going to ID people on the way in, perhaps!

    I would recommend Captain Americas if it were mon,tues or wed as it's 3euro pints but unfortunately it's the weekend so I'm not sure. Somewhere cheap hopefully... :o

    I will most likely be busy all day Saturday until about 6/7ish so I can only make the drinks realistically.

    As for venues for the drinks, maybe Doyles? Haven't been in there in ages so I don't know if it has gone bad recently. Also, if we are heading in for drinks at around 7-ish I don't think we should have an issue getting a place to sit.

    just advance warning about Doyle's...i will actually be heading there after out drinks because my friend is having her 21st there so theres only gonna be limited room in there for the evening pints if we go there...

    How about this: Preliminary meet-up at 2 at the spire.It's almost impossible to miss,there's two buses to stillorgan from there,if we're lucky we can watch the Free runners for a while.

    And it's an option for people who aren't comfortable with giving out their details onlineto people like pygmalion

    If somebody misses the Spire...in fairness, it's probably best they're not at the meet-up for intellectual reasons. :P

    I won't be there sadly, because I'm far, far away for Dublin. Only 3 voted though to say they'd be at all of it. :-/

    Random that you'd mention 'the free runners'. I'm usually with them :pac:.
    They wont be there this saturday though, and spire is only ever a meet up place at 12, then they head off, usually to the other end of town.


    Um, I dont know yet whether I can make it in or not, could someone PM me their number so I can give a text if I'm heading in, please and thankyou.

    Your words hurt, like seriously sting. But yeah meetup at 2 would be grand really, anyone who wouldn't be able to until a bit later could PM one of us or something?

    Afaik, anyone I've met off the board before will not be in attendance. Therefore I will know no one personally, anyone else in the same boat?

    Want to stick with the original suggestion of meeting at 4pm by any chance please? I'll be coming up from home that morning and I'll have a load of bags with me, so need to get back to my place to get rid of them first. *nods*

    Anyone have a problem with this?
    Also were you thinking 4PM at Stillorgan or 4PM in town (and maybe 5 for Stillorgan)?

    Edit: If anyone would be in Dublin earlier (due to travelling from afar and awkward train/bus times) perhaps the town-heads could go in earlier and get lunch or something so that no-one's waiting around for hours?
    Probably won't happen but nothing more annoying than arriving super-early for something and being bored waiting, so just thought I'd throw it out there just in case.

    I guess I was thinking 4pm in town! Much easier to find people at a specific meeting point. Also, wondering about the Spire as a meeting point because everyone uses it, so it won't be immediately obvious who's a boardsie and who isn't, if that makes sense? Can't really think of anywhere else that immediately springs to mind though.

    Spire would be the one place I'd imagine everyone can get to though.
    If someone were to reply in this thread with something along the lines of "I'll take one for the team and wear a wizard hat and robe so we can be found easily" then that would be that problem solved *hint*

    4:00 at the Spire would be good for me too.

    Oh I agree! It just means asking more people if they're from the internet.. :P Codeword! :D

    And someone else can do that!

    The last time I went to a boards meetup I just left a quick post in the thread that morning saying I was wearing a Waterford jersey, problem solved :)

    I'm not meeting up with ye till afters so that hardly helps, but if one of you wants to borrow some sort of Waterford garment I'd be happy to oblige :P

    I won't be attending this rendezvous unfortunately, as I'm not going all the way to Stillorgan for a leisureplex, and I'm under-18, so no drinkies for moi.

    Sorry guys, I know you're all devastated and all......

    ok well i can work it either way...happy to meet at 2 or 4 in town...and yes i would advise someone to wear something out of the ordinary and let people know what it is...or maybe we could just have someone standing at the Spire with a sign saying "Boardsies" like they'd obviously have waiting for us in an airport if we all went abroad somewhere :)
