[FTO MEET] Wexford [28th Feb 2009]

[TopCat]

What time are the limerick crowd leaving? I might join ye seeing as there are no other cork cars going.

I was thinking that myself; if myself, Tom, Laura and maybe Brednan (GT94) were to go in convoy we could meet you somewhere en route?

When we get a time from Colm (no pressure ) we can work backwards from there.

Thoughts lads?

Cool, that sounds good to me, should have a decent convoy from here. Any time suits me. Really lookin forward to this now.

Limerick convoy - prepare to be deafened by the lotus.

Also beware of speeding in an attempt to catch up with those ahead.
I used to travel all over the country in a past job and the N11 always has guarda speed checks on it. So for those of you with a tendancy to put the foot down just be careful. They usually sit on the slip roads onto the dual carraige way where they cant be seen.

[elaine]

Gfalls ,What do you think is the best way to go to Gorey to meet the lads. I was thinking, Bunclody Ferns Gorey---- It would more than likely take around 40 mins to get from Bunclody to Gorey .So if this way is ok with you could meet up in Bunclody around 9:40. I know we could go across country but this road would be better I think

[gfalls]

I agree. I'll meet you in Bunclody at 9:40. At the garage on the bend (Esso I think..?!?). You know where I mean?

[CJ]

Colm, good work on the org front, looking forward to a great meet :)

Went past there today..Its now a Topaz garage, but I'm sure you know the one..

[TopCat]

For the limerick (/Cork) crew, any suggestions on a route? GM gives the following route to Gorey, 194km with an estimated travel time of 3hrs 16mins.

[elaine]

Limerick/Cork crew if ye are going into Carlow i would go for Bunclody Which is the Enniscorthy (wexford) Road, As that other road is not great

[Bernard]

I'd say between 7 and half past, how about the Maxol garage again?

[elaine]

And meet up with yourself and gfalls in Bunclody at about 9:30 or a bit after?

yes if ye wanted its around 1/2 hour from carlow I will have the kids with me if thats ok johns mother is in hospital again went in last sunday

[Dragonheart]

I was thinking of leaving cork at 6 on the sat morn to meet the lim gang at around 7. Going via wherever gfalls and elaine are meeting makes sense too.

[TopCat]

Yeah, Maxol station sounds fine. I'd a feeling it would be an early one, it'll be worth it though.

[karlf]

I will have the kids with me if thats ok

Only if we dont have to babysit. Only messing. Might bring the nephew if kids are welcome. He likes his cars. And wants me to give him the FTO when he's old enough to drive. I have a few years left before I've to hand it over, he's only 7.

[Lucian]

i'll bring my doggy
