So far it look like the 16th Aug. for a tour.
We need a bit more people to go on this.
How about letting others into this as well?
Aug 16 is my first wedding anniversary so I don't know how well that would go down for me. You never know though :D

Just tell Patricia that she's going out for a day in a "Royal County"
She will either think its Buckinghamshire or if you stick a bit a "rr" in there she'll think its Monte Carlo.
But just wait till she realises it's County Meath - she'll be ....... (@nigel: fill this in)
So 16th August:

You're more than welcome to come with.It look like the 16th.
We are about 7/8 people that are going.Look like the 16th is the majority.Not enough people IMHO though.
Should I book it with them?
Any thoughts?
How many do we need, We can all drag a friend or two along if needed.
Was thinking of at least 12-15.
Could you put me on the list for 16/08/14
Jolleybrewer
I'm very interested in this. Is the 16th looking like the date? I've to be in Cork that evening so probably not a runner for me. :(
edit: My preference would be the 9th. Just a suggestion: Might be more likely to get people to go along when it's not holiday season (i.e. September some time).
i'll head out too, would like to see the place

Is public transport our only option (apart from driving) or is it worth looking into a mini bus?
Mini bus sounds like the way to go. Shouldn't cost much between us.
I looked online for 2 quotes but if anyone has any contacts they will probably get a better deal. I'll let you know the price when they get back to me. Would a 16 seated do in case more people come on board..?
I'd like to go to this if there is any space left.
First quote in this morning for €275 for 16 seat leaving around 11 and returning around 5/6.
Dublin bus is €18 odd and takes 2.10-2.50 hours from the city centre.
Quote from: DTube on August 11, 2014, 10:15:36 AM
Bus Eireann Number 111 is €16.50 day return and takes just over an hour from Busarus.
Why thank you.
I certainly think the extra Euro would be worth it and set our own time constraints.
Are you coming Shane?
Brú Brewery is in an Industrial estate with a good walk in so having a dedicated lift to the door might be helpful to those of a delicate nature ::)
So have we the numbers for a bus?

yea + for the bus eireann bus most would have to come into the city so when you factor that in the minibus looks like the same or better value.
current count is 14 including TJ. so two free seats
Where would the best pick up location be?
Quote from: Rossa on August 11, 2014, 12:36:56 PM

OldBoro - Swords :)
I will not be going with the bus.Have my own transport ;) so another 2 seats will be open.
Take lots of pictures please lads!

Obviously the more people we have the cheaper it will be up to 16 people. Do you think the thread is lost in here and might get more interest outside or do you just want to keep it local? I know some people just look at their local club board only.

Not looking great on the numbers.
It is approx 15 min walk from the stop (Lidl in Trim) from what I can see. The 111 goes from Busarus on the half hour (number 111) from 9.30. There are return buses at 3.30,4 and 4.30 but none then until 19.00.
What is the kick off time?

I'm sure they will pick up/drop you @ the bus stop.More like 5 min walk. :-\

Told them Sat afternoon.I asked them for a time frame and they will get back to me.
Great. If they can keep in mind the public transport times of 4.30 or 7.30 for returning it might be better to get going earlier. From their site they mention 3 hours for food and tasting tour so that would make around 12.30 start...
I'll try another company with a smaller van say for 8 people. I'll see what they say. If we can get the numbers...
I'd be interested in the bus if it picked up anywhere near town.

We discussed this at the NCB meet tonight:
As its a north county gig we are trying to cost a minibus to leave/return to/from the Boro in Swords.
It makes more sense for a few people to travel on the bus to Swords than the majority to travel from Swords into Dublin and then to Trim
We should have a price tomorrow for a mini bus and also confirm the times!
Fair play Will.
I was at the brewery yesterday getting beer for our beer festival this weekend, your in for a treat guys, the beer was very impressive! We have a competition to win an eight bottle Bru hamper this weekend too.

€250 is the only quote so far still waiting for a few people to get back with quotes.
Can we get names down of everyone that wants to get a mini bus from swords and is definatly free.

I'll take a bus Eireann bus down and meet you there at two. It's easier than schlepping all the way over to Swords and back.

@ rossa , We'll be leaving at 1 from old Boro so around 12.30. it's only 5 or 10 mins to swords.
Gents - I can do a run from Malahide to Swords - Saturday Morning
Dublin Pearse 11:19 - Malahide 11:50
Pick up Malahide 11:50 ?
They'll be a bit early, but can always have a pint or 2 in the boro while their waiting :P
Theirs 8 of us so I've got us a 8 seater for €180. better than half filling a 16 seater @ €250

Can drive by and pick up Will as well, that leave two spaces, if anyone else is coming from afar.

No worries at all , one more spot left
Excellent, I will expect youz about 12:00 ish.

( Que the lightning and the witches scene from McBeth: "Eye of toad tongue of newt, Ronnan and Rossa are definitley out"Whooaaa HHaaaa thats 2 out").
Don't worry will, I speed over the bumps and break the bottles !!

You should have my beers from Tuesday unless James did a runner with them.
