I'm just back from Abbeyleix. I went up there to finalise some arrangements with the hotel for the event and I was really impressed with the Hotel so thought I'd share my thoughts with ye.

The hotel itself is fabulous and the room where the event is on is really nice and I'm not just saying it to hype the event but its perfect for a Vapefest, Ye will see what I mean on the day. The room for event will take 300 or more people easily and has a fine size bar, nice tables/chairs, decor, etc!
There's room for overflow as well with a lovely conservatory hallway with tables and chairs and a nice outside seated area too if the weather is fine.

The main bar in the hotel where its hoped to have a bit of crack in the evening and into the early hours is a fine big modern bar and the staff are really friendly there as well. I ended up talking to a few of them and enjoyed a vape and a cup of coffee while explaining what vaping is all about to some of them. A couple of them who are smokers are even going to come to the event and thinking of giving vaping a go to try get off of tobacco.

I'm also currently looking for a printing company to sponsor a big banner sign for the day and maybe some posters or leaflets. I've contacted a good few companies and am awaiting replies so hopefully one of them might help.

Anyways I'll shut up now I'm rambling!

The lads in Vaporcast gave Vapefest Ireland a mention in their latest podcast and in doing so had an attempt to put on an Irish accent. I nearly fell of the chair laughing when I heard it. http://feeds.feedburner.com/vaporcast/podcast Its in the final 1/5 of it for anyone that want to listen.

Davek also gave another mention in last night's episode of Daves Tacklebox on Vaportrails TV http://www.vapourtrails.tv/?p=4110 from about 5 minutes onwards

I just did an interview with the Clare Champion newspaper on Vapefest and they are going to do a piece on it

It amazing when you get a shout out somewhere like steve k's vaping world based in the united states the way word gets around.

I just found a post on an Italian forum referring to Vapefest Ireland thanks to Steve'ks article. http://www.vapers.it/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=44&sid=721d0fbf2049304063ad69a197673beb

All good to promote our event. I really cant wait for it now, it will be so good to be able to vape and talk and drink and vape and talk and vape and vape and talk and drink and talk and vape a bit more with fellow vapers instead of being looked at weird and asked a hundred times an hour what is that

Thanks to the vaping forum, I have been a non smoking vaper for 3 weeks! Now I'm very keen to come to vapefest but I don't have transport. Is the venue anywhere near public transport or are there any car share situations from Dublin? Thanks!

Hi Donkey oatey and congrats on been off the tobacco 3 weeks. I will keep my ear to the ground and if I hear of anyone offering alift from Dublin I'll send you a PM. If all else fails you could get the bus from Dublin to Portloise and then get the Portlaoise to Johnstown 128 service that takes 10 minutes to get from Portlaoise to Abbeyleix. I have attached the timetables for buses if you wanted to check if the times would work out for you.

2: you explain 2 herself whats going on

This is the article from today's Clare Champion Newspaper regarding Vapefest Ireland. I don't see it on their website so I scanned it but hopefully they might put it up on the website as well.

If anyone finds it hard to read try right clicking on image and save it to your desktop and then open the image on your pc where you then should be able to see it properly.

eeloe

top marks again Shane!

You seriously deserve a medal for the work you're doing!

Reading through this and i think i'll be able to make it!

I have just gotten an ecig so hopefully i will use it and continue to use it!

eeloe

Once you find a juice(or a couple that you like) you'll soon see the money start to build up in your bank account from not smoking....that's the fact alone that keeps me off them.

I clicked on the link for your youtube channel a while ago and the first thing that came into my head was that you would make a great e-cig reviewer, you'd never know you might end up doing video reviews of ecigs and juice if you really take to the vaping!

Hope you can make it anyway it should be a good crack
