Cavan meet up sounds good, any suggestions on venue?

Is there anyone coming along (e.g. FTO widows) who aren't participating in activies? I ask on behalf of Mrs. CJ who will most likely be sat on the sidelines....

OK lads, I'm sorting accommodation for the Saturday night, price is €45 per person , B&B in a nice hotel.

Presuming all of you don't mind sharing with the + 1 you've picked (Double room for you Seb, and for your other couple)

If this is a problem for anyone, or you have queries, contact me ASAP by PM, or mobile. you all have my number at this stage. will be booking this tomorrow night.

Theres a roundabout where the N55 (assume Munster lads will come this route) meets the N3 (Dublin route), we should aim to stop somewhere shortly afterwards. I'm not familar with the area - anyone?

clutch should be in today(friday) but no time to change it so i'll have something else to play with (colm's clue).

i'm really sorry guys but i dont want to risk driving and fooling around with an unhealthy clutch.

Great meet guys and girls, great to catch up with ya all.

Thought Todds Leap was great craic, except my legs are now killing me, thanks in no small part to Martin for repeatedly shooting at them from about 20ft!
Hotel session was up to the usual standards as well, as were the hangovers.

(this thread has been scaled down slightly, some lists and directions removed in the interests of making the thread more readable)

Didn't get too many pics, here's two from Sunday morning:

Excellent meet, great job Colm.
It was nice to meet everyone again (and the new faces).
I'll post some pics later.

Those who didn't go really missed a good one...

At that stage, I was contemplating going to bed after a long day!

Great weekend despite the low numbers, big thanks to Colm on the organisation front.
