For those concerned about bringing childre, that fact that the restaurant has a children's section on the menu should answer the question. I did mention that we would have children, young and old, in the party and there was no problem.

Anyone wishing to dine out as opposed to BBQ please add name to list:

(1) Tom (Cashel MX5)

Pete, she'll be driving the "support vehicle" , a custom that was started by Ash on the Galway run two years ago (or was that last year??)

Hi John,

Comparing the two, the hotel price looks higher and there is less of a choice. I've no problem with either but as you said, Boyle is a lot closer. Whatever the general consensus is I'll go along with.

I'm inclined to agree with you Tom. But in the interests of democracy let's give the punters a choice.

Opinion MIGHT change if there is a €25 option??

Either way, let's wait until , say , Friday before final decision if that's ok??

C'mon everybody, state your preference by Friday

John

[shenab]

all these decisions.

I'm up for whatever is closest. By the time you add in taxis etc ..

[franksm]

By the way, is anyone bringing a guitar along ? We need a bit of the "kumbaya".

A full-size one too, not the mini "land of the giants" type that Rigley was playing

[leamyj]

Dunno Frank...anyone of a musical disposition among us?? We could light a campfire and sing songs from the scouts like "GingGangGooly" or whatever it's called I spent six years in the scouts and never actually learned the words of it, but sang it none the same with a mish-mash of words that kinda sounded right

no can do, sorry, ya man told me so when I booked it. No camp fires allowed.

[Steve]

Frank's BBQ's have been known to flame for hours so I wouldn't worry..


This could be handy..
