Our meeting for February has been been booked for the last Friday of the month, the 28th.
Plenty of notice to plan for it and tell all who may be interested!
Will prob be in Dublin from Thursday so hardly will make it , might pop in to the national comp for a look on the Sunday
Is the comp not on the 1st?.. (which is a Saturday Barry?! )
Anyone bringing/sending any down to it? Can I send a couple down with someone?... (am toying with the idea of going down for the craic... will see how that pans out)
Comp is on the 1st alright, it's a closed door event as far as I know. Although I'm open to correction on that point!
Cork on the 22nd is the public event. "citation needed"
Regardless
I'm taking registered entries up until 5pm on the 16th of feb!
Ah fine so, that's answered that... I'll drop some bottles round to you some day then Kev, thanks.
Yep, nice one Kev, I'll be round one o the days too :)
Wouldn't mind droppin down to the comp meself in Cork if anyone fancies sharing a bus? Or I could donate petrol cash if anyone has a lift?
Ah balls in Dublin that weekend ,are ye sure its a closed house?
Its not, can't say anymore Mr R to make an announcement later tonight, comp is on the Sat tho so all you will see on Sunday is hangovers!

Dublin will be open to the public to some extent in the afternoon b and very much open to everyone for the awards and party after.
Going to stick something up about it tomorrow.
Have we a couple of judges from the Wesht? Kev? Enda?
Good to know the comp is open , will be cool to pop in , missed last year
Lads have we 2 bottles for the barrel comp that are carbed,I can throw in 2 if necessary , struggling to get throught them anyway. Kev when are you around this weekend , can drop down a box of bottles for entry, do i need to print off entry forms as well and leave in box ?
Entry forms have to be printed and bottles have to be labeled!
Print both from the competition site.
Rossa, can't commit as I'm not sure yet if I'll be working that weekend or not.
Hey Kev,
Do we drop the bottles to you or to Lohans Off Licence in Salthill?
Which ever suits!
Not unless you want Kev to give them all a good shake, Kevs is easier for me lads thanks, like to keep it local!
I had to haul 60 bottles from the basement of Lohans last year!
If you are around this evening Kev I'll spin by with them - I'll give you a call later
I'll be around all weekend, from 9am up until about 10pm when I'll be heading for work.
Ring in advance though!
dropping stuff off today will give ye a shout
I'll drop bottles to you at 4:59 on Sunday

Ive been given a pass for the afternoon evening
Best way to describe this superb venue is there is a room 3/4 of which will be cordoned off and have ONLY judges and stewards, stewards will all be wearing their colours and NHC name badges. Dempsey and I are bouncers ???!
The remainder of the room will be a public viewing area so that you can see the judges and what they are doing but not influence, breathe on them or thump them!
Once judging has finished, 4-5ish?, room fully opened.
very tempted... a few things to square away before I would say it's a definite. I think would be fun though.
Is anyone driving up? It would be good to organise lifts. I have to be there for 9:30 so I'd say it's the bus/train for me

Is farringtons far away, might pop in there for a couple b4hand,
Farringtons is in temple bar area, just across the Liffey.
I'm off that weekend :) not sure on wether I'll be travelling up or not though.
9:30 would mean you'd need a bus between 6 and 7!
Thanks shane, I should (?) be fairly familiar with Dublin , lived there for ten years ! Been in the church and the porterhouse before, Farringtons is new one to me , is it relatively new pub ? Don't ever remember it although I never really drank in temple bar

Farringtons used be called The Norseman, maybe you remember that one.
oh yeah was there before at a trad session, hows things brian ;)
It's SWMBO's birthday friday so I won't make the meet (again) :( Best o luck at the comp guys, sounds like ye'll have savage craic!! Lookin forward to the next meet...
Let's get a list to see who's about this Friday!
1. Kevco5
I won't make it!... (not your question I know but just ruling myself out).
I may be in Dublin though the day after, I'm waiting to see what turns up at short notice for a bargain hotel room. Don't know what's going on this year, but it's only February and I seem to have stayed in about 8 hotels so far.
Also ruling myself out - going to be in Dublin on the Saturday so heading home to Wicklow on the Friday
May have to cancel this one! Going to be awful lonely on my own!
Not looking good. I might be heading to Dublin on Friday night as judging starts at 10am

Was on to the Oslo this evening to cancel the booking.
