    Hey folks,

    The turnout at the last one was far from great but it is still probably time to organise another one.

    Do Saturdays or Sundays suit better?
    North,South,East, West or central Dublin?
    Suggestions?

    Based on this we can have a poll.

    People outside Dublin,feel free to organise a more local meet up.

    We should probably try facilitate the people travelling to Dublin as best we can.
    I will have a look around and see if I can find any child friendly places that can facilitate us that won't cost us a fortune!!

    Well it is clear that Saturdays are best. Aido and I travel as far as public transport will allow so we are as flexible as that!!! We are South side, but we are willing to travel!!!!

    October is pretty much out for me. Working 8th and 15th. Possibly the Sundays too. 22nd is a contingency date for work. And 29th I'll be away. November is pretty free tho.

    I'm bumping this up. Hopefully we can find a date that suits everyone. From 20th nov we're free on Sundays as we're doing an earlier swimming class.

    Dublin city/north side/south side?

    A play zone or any other ideas?

    I won't be going to any place like Playzone in Celbridge. I'd go to this meetup to meet other parents and be able to chat. In places like that you can't hear yourself think.

    I rather meet up in somewhere like Merrion Square and then the dead zoo. Or just the dead zoo if it's raining and tea and cakes in the cafe there.

    I haven't been there in a while. There's only two floors and there's a lift iirc. Buggies are ok iirc.

    Anyone please suggest venues:)

    IMMA has a huge space in the back room in their cafe and there's always toys for kids to play with.
