Ok so after have the chance to get up to Uberstaff and meet all the loverly Irish folk that went, ive decided that they are all so nice that they should be visited very soon.
If not only to steal more staff trix
So far they have kindly offerd places to stay, but are not sure on numbers but we are all grown ups and ive started this here so we can be a little organised.
Im thinking the weekend of the 17th June we fly over and come back on the Monday , then we can have much harcore spinnage on sat and sunday along with much tea drinking and doobie making
Call it a tribute to Uberstaff
So what i would like to know is who in ireland can make it to Dublin that weekend, and who in the Uk wants to come with me
So far the list of the UK attacking team is:
Frodo
2bags
Strugz
Dunc (in spirit)
Birgit
MCP
Skully
Vixen
Nate
So any other takers? flying from gatwick return will be max £40 if we book in next few weeks!
the earlier we can decide the cheaper it will be!Let the dissciussion begin

Hi guys,
Looks like I'm not going to be able to make it this time.
At least it means you won't have to be waiting aroung for me until midnightish.
Have a fantastic time and perhaps I'll see you all at another gathering.
You can spend hours playing with minutes!

De-lurks back into thread...
Just thought i'd suggest that as i'm unemployed at the moment maybe i should meet the people who arrive earlier on Friday, while all you gainfully employed people are working
That way, we can head out to mine, drop your bags off, have lunch/showers whatever you want, and then go back into town to sightsee if you want, and then meet up with everyone else for a night of drinking and debauchery 
As it happens, i have the house to myself that weekend, and can put up around 4 people without anyone even having to sleep on the floor. Can probably fit a couple more comfortably enough if needs be.
Sound like a plan?
Looking forward to meeting you all

I'm only away for a week and there's like 150 new posts!! Umm... right, we'll need 2 places to sleep in Dublin, non-smoking or smoking whatever, trying to find someone to borrow a tent from so that I can tickle the Sunbird (if you really want to torture him, try his hands and his tummy!!!) without him hitting anyone while trying to push me off, so hopefully we won't be needing tentspace. Will edit the people list as soon as we've booked his stuff. Yay! Can't wait to (re-)meet you all!
Bad news is that I've still got 2 fxcked-up wrists, but at least I've now (yes after 8 weeks, we love the University Health Service!) got an appointment for physio, so we'll see when I can start spinning again.

Hi Gayle
I've had a look at some train times for me to get to you (it is Bath Spa station isn't it?) and unless I leave before 09:00
I'll probably be arriving sometime around 12:30ish. Would this be alright? i wouldn't want to miss the start of the festivities

No, you can't drink. You're too young.
