August trip to Lisburn and Hilden

[DEMPSEY]

My 7 seater has no toilets but is able to stop at the finest Irish Oak tree's. You can of course use Elm but I think Oak is best. Not available to drive that weekend cause I might be pissed with the rest of you.

Would you know someone who would? If we got 10 us us at €25 a pop could we get a mini bus?

[Cathal O D]

Im keen to head up as well. Space for one more??

[Rossa]

I've been on to a couple of mini bus hire companies. Just waiting on figures back.

Fair play.

[beerfly]

i'd be intrested in heading up too

[DEMPSEY]

Just to get the costs rolling a taxi fare is €240 one way. So 6 passengers in a 7 seater is €40 up and €40 return.

Is there not a cabby with a 14 SEATER transit happy to make a  few hundred + diesel for his day and 14 of us go in it... a transit wil do the same  MPG near enough as 2.5 litre 7 seater, and I wouldnt like to be SQUASHED in a 7 seater for 2 or more hours, given that the 2 seats in the back arev made for Japanese kids   ....all seems very expensive at 80 quid...I can get to anywhere in UK from Dublin for 80 quid on stena sail and rail....
very surprised its so difficult and expensiive to get to LISBURN.

will aircoach stop at an Oak tree for us?

[irish_goat]

Should be at this on the Saturday as well myself. Looking forward to it.

After much frustration with mini bus companies I've asked Rossa to take over on this.

Why were they taking the piss or not as it were?
Do we have a list somewhere as to who is going?

[Will_D]

For those sort of prices I have two options:

Me and Mrs Will: Drive up, Hotel, drive back:  3 seats spare in car

No Mrs Will:  Drive up and back in the day with as many will fit in the Scenic!

Will She or won't she?? TBD!!

Any news on the minibus yet? It's just that I'm off on holidays next week, and won't return (or be in touch with the internet) until Friday 23rd; so I'd like to know asap if it's not going ahead, then I can book a B&B for me and the missus.

[Rossa]

Nothing my end. Heading away soon and won't really be around much until the big event. Hoping I'll make it up still.
