TOPIC:

I plan on driving to Galway Saturday morning. I [i:3tkdan47]don't[/i:3tkdan47] plan on being a designated driver. Will there be anyone travelling from Galway to Roscommon as well? Is there suitable public transport, or is it viable to share a cab or something?

I guess we'll have to arrange something to get us all back to Galway.

I hope to head down to Galway on Friday and I don't plan on being a designated driver on Saturday any more than you do <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

From what I can gather the following will be travelling from Galway to Roscommon and back:

Noby
Séan
Bigears
BeerNut (return trip only?)

Aidan/Ronan?

Any more takers?

No 4-bed room available in Sleepzone (by the time I got around to trying to book it). Any more suggestions?

Galway [i:3s9tt2g4]to[/i:3s9tt2g4] Roscommon? Is there a better way I haven't thought of? I'm not married to the 12.40 train idea, I just thought it was obvious.

I am, however, married to MrsBeerNut, who will also be attending.

Bus and train available but don't rely on train or bus for early return .If enough interested some of the decent Taxi / minibus may do Galway at a decent price. If you get the 13:10 Train from Galway you will join the Dublin Crew in Athlone for arrival in Roscommon at 15:00 approx
Online time is 15:03 but it waits for the Dublin train in Roscommon <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt="" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? --> .

Fair point. I was making an assumption in Séans case as I didn't ask him if he was hitting Galway first. I seem to remember the original Hooker thread suggested meeting in a pub in Galway such as the Bierhaus and getting a minibus to the brewery and back but let's see what the consensus is this time around.

There's another hostel by the train station/Fox's pub, no idea of the quality. After that it's hotels/B&Bs. Let's see how numbers stack up.
