Well lads,

What about meeting this month? Would anyone fancy the Paddy's Day weekend? Could be nice with Monday off work. I'd be up for a Friday or Saturday night.

What does everyone else think?

Works for me! Friday probably the best day to avoid too many Paddy Day Punters though

Hi Iain et al,

Sorry; I should really have been trying to organise something for March before now but work's been seriously getting in the way recently. Even stopped me getting a brew on this week :(

I'm with Chris about having it on the Friday. We were originally thinking of a brew day for March, but venue seems to be an issue so, while we try and sort something out, a wee meet in March would be good.

So it's the 17th then? Would be good if we could get that whiskey bar from the Hudson again. It was well grand :)

Cheers,

-Barry

Good stuff everyone! March is waaay to busy for us so gonna have to miss out.  :'(

Hi lads,

I was actually thinking the 14th, as the 17th actually on Paddy's Day could be an absolute mission. Or we could leave it until the next weekend and avoid Paddy's Day shenanigans altogether. What do you think? Friday 21st?

My bad Iain. Meant to say '14th' but forgot to subtract the 3.

We don't get Paddy's day off work and I'm loathe to booking leave just to get suffocated in a crowd of pissed hick students.

(for a definition of the word 'hick' just google 'Croke Park', '400,000' and 'Garth Brooks')

Ah balls. Just realised the missus is out on the 14th, so can't do that night anyway.

21st get's my vote but I guess that's kinda after the fact.

iain_todd

Ok so we go for 21st then? Do we need to let the Hudson know?

So 21st. What's protocol? Do Matty D or Chrissy T need to contact the Hudson, or can we do it?
