August trip to Lisburn and Hilden

[admin]

Folks, just trying to gauge interest in a day trip on the 24th of August trip to Lisburn for a cider making lesson in the late morning, followed by the beer festival in the afternoon at Hilden. It'd be an opportunity for us to hook up with the Belfast homebrewers too.

Itinerary would be
09:30 Depart Dublin city centre
11.15 Arrive in Lisburn for around 11:15am.
13.00 Lunch (BYO!)
14.00 Off to Hilden
23.00 Depart
12.45 Arrive back Dublin city centre
01.00 Nitelink

At very most the bus should cost no more than €30 pp return. The more we can get the cheaper it would be.

Also, these times are subject to change if they don't suit enough people.

Anyway, register your interest below:

wud it be an idea to stay over and share cars save the busfare and the hasssel of commutin after a feed of beer?

The difference between sharin cars with a triple room in travelodge would probably balance out compared to everyone payin 30 quid for a bus?

Might b interested but I's stay overnight

Would I be able to bring the missus along on this (yes, she drinks beer)? It's just that we met for the first time at the Hilden Beer Festival twenty eight years ago (and yes, they were running them then).

[Ciderhead]

Shouted out to Mrs Ciderhead, fancy going to Lisburn to a beer festival, "great yeah I can top up the the tan how much are the flights?"
Huh, not not Lisbon! Lisburn.... "I'll think about it".
Then I pointed out about the fact the two are practically identical in culture, shopping and sweltering summer temperatures etc etc.
Help me out here on the sell chaps?
