Cork Gathering, August 11th (new date confirmed 28/6)

[Laura O'Connor]

ARE YOU TIRED OF MISSING GATHERINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO FAR AWAY FROM YOU?

ARE YOU UNABLE TO AFFORD TREKKING TO DUBLIN EVERY TIME THERE'S SOMETHING NERDFIGHTER-Y ON?

ARE YOUR PARENTS UNSURE ABOUT LETTING YOU GO TO DUBLIN BECAUSE THEY THINK YOU'LL GET LOST, ETC.?

IF SO, THIS GATHERING IS FOR YOU!

xD Jokes aside, hi, I'm Laura. :) I am currently planning a Cork gathering for those living in that general area/Munster, (and indeed, anywhere at all) because I sure as hell know that all three of the above points have, at some time or another, applied to me.

The date of this gathering is August 11th, which is a Saturday, if you want to know. 

Discussions are being held in the Irish Nerdfighters Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/119784041452959/) if you want to have your say; I'd love to hear  ideas, anything at all. You can also hit me up on my own personal Facebook (search Colour Insanity; I'll come up ;D) and my twitter (http://twitter.com/colourinsanity). I'd love to see you there!

 

Cheers all, an event will go up soon.

~ Laura

EDIT: Date officially changed as of 28/6. A Facebook event can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/455077221185021/

Hey, August date suits me way better, but do we have enough people to come? DFTBA

[Sarah Mufasa]

Bejesus, I just joined this site and I'm from Cork but I won't be around July 7th or those dates in August but I would definitely be there otherwise.

To clarify the date on the main post is incorrect as it hasn't been updated yet. The date going forward now, to the best of my knowledge, is august 11th

I'm really sorry but I can't come, I'm really pissed that I can't but the bus time tables suck because I wouldn't get there till 2 and would have to leave at around 3:30 to catch a bus home cause I'm from Mitchelstown. I REALLY annoyed that I can't come but maybe if we do another next year it might suit me better. Sorry :'(

[Laura O'Connor]

Are you busy beforehand or something? I live in Fermoy and the buses are pretty regular. Gutted you can't come though, and I certainly would like to think we'll do one more than annually :P

[Orla Mulcahy]

Yeah the bases are regular but the only ones on Saturday are arriving in Cork at 1:30, then I would have to walk to fitzgerald park and that would take 20min and then the only bus time home that suit me are 4:00 meaning I would have to leave the gathering are 3:40 to walk to the bus stop and would only get an hour and 40mins max at the gathering which, no offence isnt worth all the time and I will be pretty tired cause I am working Thursday and Friday and am going to Dublin on Saturday night for the Cork vs Galway match! (ironically I am actually working in Cork but only have a drive on weekdays :( ) I am really sorry but I just have a hectic few days! I would LOVE to go as it would be my first gathering and an so pissed I can't! Really sorry Laura but will try really hard to come to the next on! (and sorry I just wrote you a short novel also :/ :L)

I know there's an 11.50 one from Fermoy, whenever that's in Mitchelstown :P But that's a shame, pity it didn't suit. Next time though ;D
