Charity Poker Night - Friday 13th June

[Partridge9]

Just a quick note to let you know the Annual fundraiser for St Francis Hospice is coming up in Malahide on Friday 13th June. You are more than welcome to come along – if you can't make it – maybe you 'll buy a couple of raffle tickets instead. Most of you know the drill from last time, not a whole lot changing. The poker is great craic and generally not taken too seriously – that said there will be cash prizes for the top 3 and prizes for all the players on the final table.

Last year round we all raised around €2000, probably won't do that this time round but every bit helps.  We are having a big raffle at the break with 'loadsa' prizes. If you are interested in coming along – make sure and let me know so I can get your name down.

Thanks a mil

James

I had a great time last year and made the final table as a bonus I think i drank all Wills cider too-it was AMAZING!!

Christ.. this is a great idea. Fly the NHC pop-up banner next to the cornies

What's the legal side of this?

[CARA]

It's classed as a "home game" in a private residence so all above board

[CARA]

Had a poke around this morning-I've a pin(20L cask) of a smoked rye pale ale I could donate?

[brenmurph]

Any pins for sale cara

James. Seems as I have an enpty corny of urs staring at me every time I open my storehouse, all nice and sanitised ill bang some english ale into it. Because my real ale weekend wiped all my session stock I may not be able to fill to the lid but Ill find at least 20 pints or thereabouts and hopefully get a full one .

Theres no guarantee I can get to the event so If any northsiders are passing on the dublin-cork road please let me know if u can drop a corny to partrige in malahide for the event

@Bren - Sorry about the notice Bren -  Im going to take Friday off to setup so I could knock out your direction to pick it up.
If anyone is driving by to get it closer that would be great as well.
Even if its only half full - that's grand. Its great to have variety.

@Cara - That would be greatly appreciated !

I'll probably bring a cornie of a brown ale with me.

Now ... what about refrigeration? Do you have enough space to keep em cold?
Also, do you need any extra picnic taps for the day?

[Partridge9]

Great questions !

Unfortunately I only have kegerator room to cool 2 cornies. I can chill two more with buckets of Ice.
So probably best if you get your cornie to about 4C and bring it with you - I can wrap it when you arrive.

If you have a spare set of disconnects that would be great (we will label them straight away so they dont get mixed up).

I have one picnic tap /  three taps (with flow control) and Will_Ds Stout tap - so five on the go.

I can push your keg out with Nitro if its at 8 PSI,  if its 10-15PSI - we will serve it on CO2.

Alternatively if you get it the way you like it with a picnic tap (at your place)
- we could just serve it that way ... which might be the easiest   

Thanks

James

Ok, in that case I'll bring a bucket or two, picnic tap and some ice as well.
