Provincial meets: help required

[CJ]

I'd like to see us getting outside the Pale for meets every so often , with that in mind, I'm looking for volunteers from other parts of the country who would be willing to organise a meet locally. Ideally, we would benefit from a west\northwest meet and a south\southeast meet.

These meets would involve an activity during the day (ideally a Saturday) and maybe a meal with a few drinks in the evening, an overnight stay would be optional, as would bringing your partner along.

We have the summer ahead of us, lets make the most of it get out on the road! Post here or mail me your ideas offlist.

Ive no problem organisising a meet here in Galway. Its great here in the summer and I like to see the attention a few FTO's get in salthill on a summers Sunday.

We also have europes largest karting track

But as its outdoor its useless on a wet day (slick tyres)

[daniel]

ill keep an eye on this one, might make my first trip home to galway for it....only three wks to go and ill be joining the scottish clan of fto's, quite a few over there!

[Speedyboy]

I work for a scottish company Daniel and spend a bit of time over there, Aer Arran has direct flights into Galway from Edinburgh very handy. What part of scotland are you moving to ?

[daniel]

Going moving to Dundee, just about 50min north of edinburgh, will be taking those Aer Arran flights home allright, so who you work for over there?

[Speedyboy]

I work for GM Rads. What about yourself?

Am I the only Galway memeber left regarding this meet when Daniel is gone?

[daniel]

Im currently working for Boston Scientific, but im leaving on the 2nd of April. Moving to Dundee to work for W.l.Gore and Associates.

So any ideas when your planning to organise this meet, im guessing it wont be in the next three weeks???

[daniel]

so the crowd you work for are in glasgow (check the site), as far as i know in 6 weeks, a crowd called loganair (i think u book through the britishairways website) are opeing up a galway to glasgow route...should be even handier to you!

A meet in Galway sounds great, I'm in Galway every weekend due to work, nice way to finish of a shift go for a drive

Yep i'd definatly be up for this with an over nite stay, how about if it can be arranged having it in june say sat26/sun27 which is a weekend i'm not working

The main problem here is picking a date that is suitable for most people. e.g. you're available on the w/e of the 26th of June while I'm out of the country

Myself an Ralph have been speaking offline about this and there should be plenty to keep us entertained as regards a day and night in Galway. I'll start a seperate thread wiith a poll to see whos interested and available.
