Cancelled

Unfortunately this meet has had to be cancelled, or at least indefinitely postponed, due to lack of interest. It's a pity. At least we came up with a few good ideas that I'm going to try to shoehorn into other meets.

Is this worth pursuing?

We don't seem to be getting a lot of interest, with just over a month to go.
Should we still carry on do you think?

Mini-forum

I've asked Matt F to set up a mini-forum for us, and move the relevant threads in there, which he'll do shortly and then I'll set up a proper rollcall thread, a Viking Splash thread and also post some details for the pub.

Details of the pub

I've spoken to Messrs Maguires and an area will be available for us from 4pm onwards. I said we'd have about 40 people and that we didn't require finger food (although we can still order from the menu)
No problem to hold our 'secret idea' although there is a DJ on in the pub from 10pm, so we'd probably want to get it out of the way reasonably early.
I wondered about a 'Promises Auction' - for example, Holly promised a Poi lesson for which Worm paid £20. That way, we don't have to spend out money on stuff that might not sell.
What do you think?

Map

I've whipped together a quick map showing the major locations we're talking about going on this meet.

Getting Started

As of this past Saturday the first Raoky Road to Dublin Join Meet is confirmed for the weekend of 8^th/9^th September, 2007. In Dublin, obviously.

Meet your Raoky Road to Dublin organisers:

• Del—Agent Monkey Honey Poppet Joinee The Del-star (Gatesy Approved)


• Rory—Colonal Predictable Fudge-a-licious Threadjack Joinee Spaca-Rory


• Linda—Joinee Hippy-Chick

We met on Saturday to bash out some plans about the meet. Del and I had a bit of a stroll about the south side of the city with an eye to figuring out the best locations for the RAoK walk (or possibly a RAoK challenge). We figure the best places are Temple Bar, Trinity College, St. Stephen's Green, and Grafton St., all conveniently rather close to each other. These are all areas where we're more likely to find the type of person who won't be freaked out by our less than usual behaviour, Temple Bar especially. Other parts of Dublin might be a bit less inclined to accept a bunch of eccentric foreigners being unnecessarily nice to them.

Then the three of us retired to Messrs. McGuire, a great pub on the south side of O'Connell bridge. This is an ideal location for our Official Pub of the Raoky Road. It has several stories (i.e., floors, not tales—though it may well have a few more of those by the time the meet is over) and is full of neat alcoves and whatnot so that a group of basically any size can get a section all to itself. They also do food. There's no charge to book part of the pub so long as we buy enough drinks, which will not be an issue.

We sketched out a few ideas about the meet from the comfort of our alcove. We have a few ideas about what to do in the pub, as well as activities we might like to partake of during the day around Dublin city. I'll post details as they're confirmed, or if I get too excitable to keep things to myself any longer.
