This thread is like a car that will not start, it is not going to get going until someone puts some petrol in it, so here goes.
The two main problems with a GTG are date and venue, you will never get everyone to agree, that’s like a Bride asking all her intended guests what date and venue would suit them for her wedding day.
I suggest two days, Saturday/Sunday 20/21 October, simply because its about 4 weeks away. Monaghan, as a venue is about 2 hours drive from anywhere north of Dublin, This hotel has plenty of parking, food, drink, entertainment, and sleeping accommodation for anyone who might be drinking (might be drinking, that’s a laugh!) The weather will be dry, sunny and warm, (if I am wrong about the weather I will buy everyone a drink.)
I have no connection with this venue other than that I use it occasionally when passing through Monaghan. I know nothing of other establishments in the vicinity as I don’t know the area well enough.
There is a need for a Deadline so we all know where we stand, I am suggesting Saturday 13 October 2007. Please bear in mind this is only a proposal and is open to adjustment, regard this as a dummy run for now, however if enough people agree, then it should go-ahead.
