I'd say the 28th would be best, it leaves room for an overnighter if needed.

Great to see so much interest, hope to see you all there.
Here are provosional details (we are still 5 weeks away!):
Getting N11 as far as Gorey
Driving down through Wexford Bay (Cahoe Point, Blackwater, Curracloe) On to Wexford town, Rosslare, Kilmore Quay, back to Wexford, then home.
It will be a 1 day meet, it's not an overnighter, we'll obviously be getting lunch/dinner during the day.
There will be more details as soon as I have them, it is over a month away, so I'm not getting bogged down on schedules and times just yet. If anyone has information on little-known gems in the area, please share!

Ok, for those of us outside the pale *cough cough*, what time (roughly) are ye thinking of leaving Dublin. I'm just wondering is everyone meeting there or are we better to meet ye on Gorey?

The Munster / south Leinster lads are better off meeting the pale contingent in Gorey, no point in heading all the way to Dublin and back down again. Us Dubs will be able to find Gorey no bother due to its close proximety to Courtown...

The quickest way to Gorey is via the dublin route anyway though for munster people, up the N8 and down the M50, it'll involve paying €3 on the toll but sure thats life. Its a lot faster route than going via waterford or on the non motorway roads, I've travelled a bit to wexford and wicklow during last year and always took the dublin way.

I think I'll be down in Wexford next weekend anyway, If I am, I'll do a quick look around and see what's good there.
Looks to be a good turn out so far

I may make this as its my home town! but the wife is expecting 2 weeks later (paddy's day), so I should really stay close (cork)
It would be nice to see the parade though!

Was at a wedding where the pictures were taken there, it's a nice spot, and not too far from Wexford town either.
