Hei Steve,

I think I should send a PM to Saz :D She will be ripping that no one has told her about this event :D It should be a great one. The Irish have a worldwide reputation for planning really good parties. I hope we manage to get a large number of people interested. Plenty of firm promises to be there for the occasion and a low number of drop outs.

I know you can be counted upon to come Steve.
Will you be by yourself or are others coming with you ???

All the Best, Chris

Chris

Me and Saz

We ........Us

Would love to do the Irish meet up ( not told her yet ::) ) could stretch to a few days then, and what Audery suggested about renting somewhere is a good idea.

It can work out surprisingly cheaper to travel home ( an airfare) than to go by train any where else in Britain.


And YES the Irish do know how to party with a Capital P

You always feel SO at home ...who ever you are.

so If anyone ever felt they wanted to go ...they should....... both Cities are wonderful

And  as  the SAS always say the 7 P's

Pre-Planning and Preparation Prevents a Piss Poor Performance

I suppose you might as well meet people here Val. That Sarah Beresford may have been the sister of a guy named Beresford at St Columba's College, Rathfarnham. Something tells me his name might have been Guy Beresford. Michael might remember.

we have to wait away to next year? sure no one can make plans for that far ahead. we could be the researched by then instead of the researchers.
