Love how you have the pink dancing elephant followed by the guards! That always gets 'em out in force!! Who doesn't love pink elephants in uniform?!
Sounds good to me girly! I've started the kitty fund to get to these meets - we need more of them and more frequently me thinks! They all get too spaced apart.
well i was thinking a small one in cork somewhere. i am mad for a night out and would be brill if we had something at the end of march even if a few of us organised a night out on the town. dont think i would be putting in a huge do but maybe st paddys weekend.

Go for it. If we say it's a Cork people only meet, all the others will be so jealous they will gatecrash it and it will be a big hit

Good for you, Cuggly ... more peeps should organise more meets ... don't have to be in the big smokes ... wolfie has a big garden and sale on tents ... has to be somewhere ...
Brill. Just a little get together. no pressure on people to attend just would be nice and i havent gone to a meet b4 so at least I will know a few people before the BIGGY on the island! :)
Might be a nice icebreaker. Woflie! can i book a tent?

I'm sure I have one somewhere. It might have been last used at Lisdoonvarna so don't be surprised if you find some roach ends and Christy Moore's bodhran

If anyone cant afford to go to the meet - don't go - its an optional thing. If some are interested in doing it - then let them. Its a free world and site open to anyone, and if you don't want to take part, then don't. Simple as. If funds were low - skip the booze - then its only travel expenses you'd have and petrol isn't that expensive nor are train/bus tickets. Plenty of great nights happen without booze so if you can't consider one, well maybe question that fact!
I think its an excellent idea Cuggly - like yourself I haven't been to a meet yet and I'd rather go to one before heading off to some god forsaken Cork island with yez all. I mean, I know there's some here who I'm not exactly their best cup of tea so I think if I just showed up at the Sherkin Island meet - Before day 2 rolled around I fear I'd be constructing a raft Bear Grylls style!
So - overall great idea Cuggly, I support a meet before Sherkin Island 100% - who shows up, shows up. That's the way meets work anyways isn't it?? As you stated yourself, it's not competing for meet of the year or century, its only a few people meeting for an evening. Simple as. By some peoples standards anyone who dare organize a meet this year is also affecting the Island meet. (I keep wanting to call it Gilligans Island for some reason )

Just saying is all. I just thought the meet was a good idea - and for anyone who might have been on the line in deciding about it or nay-saying it, thought I'd just point out a few things, like it being optional, not mandatory. Its just some people get a bit per-snickity about meet ups is all.
No offense meant to anyone
Only positive reinforcement for Cuggly and her idea! (PS - Cuggly, I think you'll be ok in organizing this meet as long as you dont mention, serve or charge for nibbles!)

Sativa, you sure do have a God given knack ....
no one has mentioned anything negative about Cuggly organsing a meet ... and it's not a godforsaken island .. it's a very beautiful place in, strangely enough, County Cork .... so two meets Cork direction one after the other ...

no worries, just found it strange, mainly because most people know by now that it is not mandatory.

I am going to organise an AA meeting there is far too much drinking going on here for my liking

Ok, firstly and foremostly, I was only joking!! I know its not a god forsaken Island, was looking at photos when you first suggested the idea. Just Dublin to Cork is a fair distance and island - I just thought it was funny in my head, ok, ok, ok, bad joke on my behalf.
I didn't know there were standards for organizing meets and their locations. Perhaps she suggested a Cork meet as she lives there? And for someone who lives in Cork to organize a meet in Donegal or Belfast just doesn't seem to make much sense. She explained herself clearly and I agreed with her - that a meet before hand (for those who want to!) might not be a bad idea as a pre-cursor to the big Island meet. A smaller one might be a good jumping off platform to those who haven't been to meets, or who might show up here as newbies and prefer a small meet before the big one. I didn't think it was a big deal was all. And If you read the first comment on her thread you'll find GodsGift pointing out there's already a meet and he doesn't have the money to go. Maybe it was just me, but seeing as he signed up for the other meet that maybe because he couldn't make funds for Cuggly's idea that it shouldn't happen, and I simply made the comment that any meets are optional - if you can make it GREAT! and if you can't - well no worries save up for the next one.
Sorry that I offended anyone - they were just generalized comments about the subject at hand. I'm aware that very few have met me here - so alot of you don't get me and my sense of humour. I'll try and put faces on either side of any jokes that I make to help clear confusion about what I'm saying.
Cuggly knows me, and knows me well - I'm sure she can verify that by my original comment I meant nothing bad, personal or off colour to anyone. Really, I'm a peaceful hippie girl underneath it all, promise! I come in peace!
