Helen_of_poi lapsed spinner Registered: 28/04/04 Loc: Dublin, Ireland	Answers to questions: Written by: coleman anyone know what day we have to clear the site? i know we have to turn up on sunday the 9th but its not clear when we have to leave... i'm guessing we stay for the saturday night and clear out on the sunday (16th July) but i may well be wrong. You are correct, you arrive Sunday 9th and leave Sunday 16th This one does seem to be causing a bit of confusion, so we're updating our website to make it clearer. Written by: newgabe Um, Are Australians allowed? : Yes Written by: newgabe Are we allowed to volunteer and save pennies and get stuff cheap cos we just spent our next 3 lifes savings on coming to play with a bunch of paleskins?? You are actively encouraged to volunteer. No, it doesn't get you in free (i'm paying too) but cheap stuff (food, beer, hugs depending on work done ) will be arranged where possible to thank you Written by: Ronopotamus just read something in Irish times aboutr circus finally getting grants in Ireland from arts council or something. In case ye haven't seen this yet, maybe its possible to get a bit extra funding for EJC? Believe me, we're trying! Keep the questions coming - it shows me what we have to add to our FAQ - and reassures me that lots of lovely poiple are coming _________________________ Helen_of_Poi EJC Ireland 2006 Organisational Team

coleman big and good and broken Registered: 29/08/02 Loc: lunn dunn, yoo kay	thanks for the updates helen. i've booked the ferry and am suitably over-excited i got another question (that i'm sure you've been asked lots already): when will we be able to pre-register and approximately how much will pre-reg tickets be? cole. x _________________________ "i see you at 'dis cafe. i come to 'dis cafe quite a lot myself. they do porridge." - tim westwood

steaks former manc tour guide Registered: 21/12/05 Loc: Manchester	Ferrys fo from Liverpool and Holyhead to Dublin, pretty cheap and regular, and also from Swansea and Fishguard to Cork, also pretty regular and cheap. As for booking them, you could try somewhere like lastminute.com or Expedia or just google it _________________________ Owned by the lovely SNOOPoi Owner of Clarence_Quack

Helen_of_poi lapsed spinner Registered: 28/04/04 Loc: Dublin, Ireland	Ok, more answers ( i hope!) For ferry companies, see the "getting there" section on the EJC 2006 website As to volunteering - because Ireland has very long and complicated liquor licensing laws, we will not be having a beer tent run by volunteers. Instead, the venue will provide their usual bar staff for the 2 bars on site. However, we have many and varied other needs for volunteers, more info on the website soon. For pre-registration - we are having the forms translated by the EJA reps at the moment, and hope to open pre-reg later this month. Price will be around �85 or �90 for the week, including camping, shows, workshops etc.... You will be able to register online through the EJC 2006 website or through the EJA representative in your country. As to which weekend to go - if you can't possibly be there for the whole thing ...probably the 2nd weekend, as the gala show will be on either the Friday or Saturday night (probably Saturday), the parade will also be towards the end of the convention (date to be confirmed...) but really, you should just quit your job and come for the week Hope that helps _________________________ Helen_of_Poi EJC Ireland 2006 Organisational Team

garthy old hand Registered: 22/04/02 Loc: Bristol, England	Written by: D_a_v_e thanx steaks em does 300 squid sound normal for a car and 3 ppl or is that expensive/cheap. i think i need to go from fishguard to cork. I'm having simalar pricing problems and I have a big yellow van. Cheapest I've found is Liverpool Dublin for 5 people 4th July 16th July �305 So that's 61 quid each. with Motorhome not car so it may be cheaper with car But then you have to drive down to Cork. But from what I've experienced ireland's loverly and so are the poeple so it'll be a fun drive. So stuff as many people as you can into your car and come on a big road trip! Hm...

Beth Miss Whippy Registered: 03/06/03 Loc: Cornwall & Oxford	Does anyone have a space seat in their car or van from somewhere in the south end of England? If not, i'll probably get a flight from london to kerry I'm not sure whether i can go for the whole week yet but i'll definitely try to come for some of it. _________________________ Aim high and you'll know your limits, aim low and you'll never know how high you could have climbed.

Eveish Tickles pretty strangers Registered: 14/07/04 Loc: Australia	If I can make it from Australia to London, is there any chance of a lift from there? I can help pay fuel costs etc, and I won't have a huge amount of stuff.. just a few juggling toys and a small pack. I haven't posted on here in ages, I can't wait to meet a few of you! hugs Eve _________________________ What if I should fall right through the centre of the Earth and come out the other side where people walk upside-down?!

newgabe what goes around comes around. unless you're into stalls. Registered: 03/03/05 Loc: Bali	Written by: DeepSoulSheep Stop at Tara and come via my house in County Clare. Home of music and beautiful landscapes! Gabe you have a bedroom and proper support and hospitality if you come! C'mon!!! Hello James! Guess what, I booked my ticket today!! Scary but true!!! How far are you from Millstreet? Are you serious I could maybe stay at yours? would that work for actually going to EJC or as a sort of stopover to or from?? Cos accommodation is the scariest part of the trip.. which is to be done on half a shoestring! See you soon! _________________________ .....Can't juggle balls but I sure as hell can juggle details....

Gayle......! Pooh-Bah Registered: 09/07/04 Loc: Bristol !!!!!!	The ferry makes you puke. Just to help out some of you. Take look at :http://www.aerarann.ie/ Also look into the ferry companies that go from Pembroke to Rosslaire. The drive from Rosslaire to Cork is a nice easy one. To ferry it from Bristol to Cork takes a full 12 hours. The flight is much better. Aerarran do a lot of special offers so worth looking into. _________________________ Gayle.....!

I faced a phobia a while back and it was so much easier than I thought it'd be. And it never bothered me since. But I'd understand if you took the ferry. Just as long as I get to hoop with you.
