Madden Forum Beers

helimachoptor

Hi lads, have spoken to a few people on this already and wanted to get some thoughts on beers.
It'll be in Dublin though as the majority or people live here.

Sometime in June has been mooted as the best date due to exams etc for all those students

But if we can have some chat here i can stick up some dates and we can do a poll.

Sounds like a plan ! Id say the 2nd or 3rd weekend in June would be a good one ? I'd say a Friday/Saturday night would be best. Have to consider the people from other counties coming up for the event.

So I'd say either the weekend of 13th/14th or 21/22nd ?

Where to gather such an array of nerds ? mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Surely you country folk can make more than the obligatory 8th December trip up

Also its a little far away..

We can probably do one around the time Madden 13 is coming out aswell

I'm not available next weekend but if it were put back a week as suggested I'd try make it out for a bit (might be a little late as I usually play basketball till 9 on Fridays).

Sunday week it is so

helimachoptor

Right lads Friday week - June 22nd (so this day 2 weeks) I'll stick up an announcement.

We'll kick of the beers @ 20:30 GMT.

Suggestions on a venue?
Going on a random train of thought..

Baggot Inn (Baggot Street)
Bleeding Horse (Camden Street)
Doyles (College Green)
Cassidys (Camden Street)
O'Donoghues (off grafton Street)

helimachoptor

Beers are next week.. Any thoughts on a venue??

I'd be happy with any of those venues, bleeding horse or cassidy's are handiest for me but I'd go to any of them.

Danger_dave1

Bleeding horse wouldn't be the worst, music doesn't kick in til 10ish.. Ryan's on Camden street would be a good choice open til late and just a bar, not expensive either.

helimachoptor

So there's myself Dave and Adrian... Don't be shy lads:D

Danger_dave1

news on the grapevine is that the Falcons , Giants, Eagles and Buc's are going.

Lions ? Packers ? : No GM present for this event ?

Sadly anywhere we go the bouncer probably wont let Berty in because he sooooo OLD ... :pac:

notyalc666

I'll be able to go for a bit, but can't stay long in work at 10 that night

helimachoptor

Have PM'd McG aswell

etloveslsd

Dunno if I will be going, having a wisdom tooth out the day before, so dunno if I will be a)allowed to drink, b) be in any mood to go out
