    Okay then folks, we've chosen a city (Dublin) and we've chosen a venue (The New Fibbers) now we need to choose a date. For simplicity I'm going to assume that a weekend will suit the most people. Going with this suggestion I'm putting down the next four weekends. As before, please vote on what weekend suits and let us see if we can get this thing nailed down.

    Please indicate which weekend dates suit you to attend the Rock & Metal Forum Beers. 38 votes

    I'm going home to Galway next weekend but other than that my schedule is pretty clear.

    I'd rather avoid this weekend too. Fridays aren't great for me cos I'm usually at a match, and could be awkward.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    any weekend except the 25th/26th is fine by me. Cant make saturdays though, Thursday or friday nights would suit perfectly.

    I put down July 2/3, July 9/10 and other. Upon further thinking I didn't put down 16/17 because I thought I'd be in Scotland but I actually won't be, it's a few days after. So yeah! Any of the times suggested in July is grand for me. A few dates in and around the start and end of August could work too but I doubt that'll get much response. July sounds the best bet.

    Are we any closer to deciding on a date? Next weekend seems to be the most popular but we need to decide whether Friday or Saturday suits (or we could do both nights :p)

    Can those of you who haven't responded on this thread please confirm whether you can make it on Saturday or not. I've attended Galway Boards Beers in the past where 20+ posters have said they'll come and then 4 turn up so let's not have that happen this time!
    Also feel free to bring non-Boardsies along. Show them that meeting a group of strangers off the Internet isn't as scary as the media would have you believe ;).

    There's a World Cup game on at 7:30pm so I intend to be in the pub watching it. Does anyone know how busy the pub will be at that hour? Is it worth ringing ahead and getting a table or two reserved?

    I very much doubt they will be showing the football in fibbers tbh :p

    And I doubt also that they reserve tables! However they are normally never all taken before 7 or 8 anyway

    I'll be in there this evening to meet a couple of mates before the Slash gig. I'll throw an eye around the place for a tv as Spain v Portugal is on tonight,want to catch a bit of it before the gig.

    Never noticed a tv but i was never looking for one before.:)

    There's free wi-fi :P

    There's no tv's that I have ever seen (I always sit opposite the bar beside the jukebox and pool table, there may be one the other side of the bar though)

    No tv in Fibbers unfortunately,despite a "view setanta sports here" sticker on the door.:D

    Streaming over free wifi seems the way to go if you want the football.

    Righto, I reckon I'll try and catch the first half of the match somewhere else and then head in to meet you lot so I'll be in there around 8:30. Does anyone have a particular area of the pub in mind to meet up in (don't say the gents)?

    I don't fancy having to go around to various groups of people asking them if they're from the Internet so some sort of prior arrangement would be good ;).
