TOPIC:

The pub near the bus station sounds like a good location for those of us who will be bussing into town. Obviously it would be better to be situated in a pub that stocks craft beers, but there doesn't seem to be a Bull&Castle or Bierhaus available...
I agree with Spud, I don't really mind where the venue is, leave it up to ye.
Unfortunately Oct 8th is out for me though.

T&H's isn't a milion miles away from the bus station and they are listed as a stockist for Metalman. Just a suggestion.

I can have a word with Flash. Not my idea of the right place either and I discounted it immediately when the thread was started, but, he does have the basement bar or better again the rooftop terrace bar. I think I will be in town on Saturday afternoon, if I am, I will pop in for a pint or a bottle of something served too cold. (#takingonefortheteam) It could be a good bet for starting out.

The 8th is the day after Oktoberfest in Downes so its probably out for me too. Otherwise its all good

@Séan I am about 99.99% certain T&Hs will not allow us to hold meetings there. Its a tourist trap these days

@N2B if you want to see what a non-virtual Ciddy Tour is like I might be able to arrange that too <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

how about we aim for the Saturday 15th ?

yeah - I think I wrote & removed the Flashes suggestion several times before I finally just thought what the hell just throw it out there !!!

Guys -Waterford town/city is small enough - any of the Pubs mentioned are no more than 10 min walk from the Bus station & I can always meet any of you there & give you the guided tour on the way to the pub !!
@Sean - Yeah T&H's would more than likely be a no-no The Front Lounge Do Metal Man too - but again you would just be in the bar really so probably no HB sampling - I don't have the ear of any of the Bar staff in there as such
@Lugh Let me know if you get in on Saturday, if not I might drop in on Sunday - (treat the missus for dinner - brownie points !) (take several for the team !!)and grab Flash then - We'll hold off on that Ciddy tour for now !!! .......... I've heard the stories <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

15th should be good for me... any further developments on a venue?
