Werthead Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I didn't want to hijack the other thread any more, so just wanted to see what people fancied doing. Jo & Paddy have got my number, so I'll PM it to Pod and Peadar as well. Niamh has ruled herself out for the occasion Anyone else up/available for it? My preference would be to go out on the Friday night, if someone can put me up afterwards, and then head home Saturday lunchtime/afternoon, but we can work around people's availability. And I'm going to be free every evening after 5.30pm from the sound of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I don't actually have a fixed abode right now, so unless I find a new place by next weekend, i'm probably not in much of a position to put anyone up. At the moment i'm just glad someone will put me up! Should be able to make other nights also. So if you are free Monday or Tuesday for example, happy to arrange a mini-mini meet.

Werthead Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Work kind of exploded in lameness today. My manager contracted a horrendous bug and will be out of action for a week and another staffmember quit with no notice, so my training has been cancelled A bit cheesed off about it, to be honest. My assistant manager did give me next Saturday off though and gave me an early finish on Friday, so if I can work the finances I may still be able to make it up. However, it may be far easier to push it back a week (to Fri-Sat, 25-26 Jan) as then I'll have been paid and a far higher level of mayhem will be possible! Sorry not to be able to make definitive plans. My new job's been pretty awesome but this training thing does seem to be going wrong quite a lot and confusing things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for anybody else, but it's still no problem as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The following week should be fine with me also. So all good either way. I might even be properly organised by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini-meets usually involve a pub at some stage and everyone is more than welcome to come, so by all means turn up to one if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peadar Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Are Polish imigrants aloved to participate in these mitings? I don't know about the BwB (I'm pretty new here myself), but at a recent meeting of the New Irish Science Fiction Association we all thought it would be very, very important to get some participation from Dublin's Eastern European community. If you come along to the mini-meet, I'll let you know how you can join in with other events too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Are Polish imigrants aloved to participate in these mitings? You must know Filippa then! Our resident Polish immigrant. She lives in Luxembourg/Scotland! And as Sean said, meets are just a short way of saying that you are going down to the pub to meet a few people from the boards. All are welcome.
