Where and when? Im inclined to opt for somewhere like Portlaoise or Mullingar/Athlone again so that it isn't Dublin centric which the club probably tends to (and unavoidably) be. What about Sunday Nov 20th or 27th? Presumably the discussion will be about the 2005 year and what is happening in 2006, etc. All members are invited & expected as it is an opportunity for you to comment on the club. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Somewhere on the N7 would be good to encourage the Cork and Limerick members to attend. How about the Heritage Hotel in Portlaoise there is a multi storey car park attached to it. ------------- Gerard O'Connor

I only mentioned those two dates as a guide. I wasn't limiting
ourselves to them. What about the start of December then - gives people
some time to plan how to leverage chrimbo shopping and other
commitments, etc.

Private rooms tend to cost but leave it with me. Between yis all, just pick a hotel before 3pm today and I'll ring them up after that, flirt with the receptionist* and scab a free room. * maybe I should ask for room upstairs also!!!

Suggestion for Agenda Monthly Pub meets. A few have already happened, just outside Dublin. I think one place and one date, by date I mean for example 2nd Tuesday of the month or similar. The non changing date and place means that people would not have to check in advance where and when to go. ------------- Gerard O'Connor

unfortunately i wont be able to make it but i do have a suggestion for events. i cant speak for everyone but my situation is that i work six days which leaves sunday for the family day. if there were more family days i could attend more meets for example newbridge house and park in donabate has agood car park,a playground for the kids,a barbaque area for richie and for a small fee theres a farm.i think with a decent turnout it would be a good day. or a meet at the seafront in skerries etc,etc... i dont know how many people are in the same situation as me but if i could include the family on a sunday it would open up a lot more events for me.(after all thats why i got the family membership) well i got my tuppence worth in.enjoy sunday and safe driving to and fro. ------------- bmw 323i tc baur(1985)bmw635csi man/lsd(1980) |

Just in the door. The GPS brought me back by the back roads through Shannonbridge. It gave me an eta of 17:31, and I hit my driveway at 17:34 (it didn't have the Loughrea bypass on it, for which it docked me 2 minutes!). Interesting meeting; gives us all a few things to put some thought into. Also nice to meet a few people I hadn't met before, as well as giving us all the opportunity to bid Ludo farewell and good luck.

I guess it is the same reason why you don't just look at your model
girlfriend and just show her off to your friends. It is nice to admire
what you have and show it off, but sometimes you have to give her a
good ride. The feeling of shifting down to 3rd at 60mph and giving it
some boot is something special. Then you hear her scream "More! More!" http://www.e39m5.com/scream.mp3 - Sounds like this... * save link as p.s. Niall you planning on coming to the Isle of man trip?  ------------- http://www.kinmak.com - KinMak.com - http://www.elara.ie - Elara Online |
