Hi Folks,



Coming to a Limerick near you on June 16, 17 & 18:





Friday night –



Riddlers pub – Fire night and Registration (City Centre)




Getting there. From the Bus/Train station. Come out the main gate. Turn Right. Walk, Run, Unicycle or Float up the road. Pass the first ‘T’ Junction on the left and your at a‘Y’ Junction. Keep Left! Pass the next ‘T’ Junction on the left and you get to a cross road. Turn Left. This puts you on Williams Street. Head all the way down to the bottom. At the lights cross the road (This is the main street. O Connell street) and keep going. At the next lights, cross the road and keep going, again… Riddlers is on the left.



For those of you who like to wander, get lost, ask for directions and/or drive. Riddlers is on Sarsfield Street. Near O’Connell Street. Across the road from the ‘Old Dunnes Stores.

Getting there. From Riddlers. Come out of the pub. Straighten yourself up, turn Right. No, Your other Right. Turn Right again. Walk past the big Church on your right hand side. Pizza place across the road on your left (not bad pizza either). Your on Henry Street now. Keep walking in a straight line until you fall over the College… Seriously. It’s a big long road… Just keep going. You’ll find it on the right.

From the station. Find Riddlers, see above wink



Or..



Come out of the station. Cross the road and turn right. Walk towards the park and turn Right. Head down that road until you get to a cross road with the main street. This is o Connell street.

And juggled while standing in honey

How about the Limerick Juggling Convention Juggling Limerick Convention, or LJCJLC for short.

a re-working of the canonical 'Skinner'

A handsome and virile young spinner
was taking a lady to dinner.
Said she: "show me a trick"
but his moves were so quick,
that ere she knew aught it was in her
(the dinner, not the spinner - the spinner'd been in her before dinner)
