I think €10 - €15 is ok really. Any surplus can go into a "kitty" for something which will aid these meetups. Either subsidise the next one or a coffee machine or whatever. Is there nearby parking Simon? Just thinking of access for large heavy boxes etc. I know the hall to pass by... lovely building.
Vinyl -anything else is data storage.

yep, I'm up for that. Even if we could stop to unload and then park across the road or something would be AOK I think.

I *think* we'll be able to use the church carpark. I have a zapper which should do the job, assuming they don't mind.

I'm also interested. FYI I am a member of a wine club with approximately 16 members who meet in a parish hall approx 7-8 times a year in the evening. The insurance cost is approx. € 200. I would think a club like this would need some insurance or alternatively the parish may have cover. The fact alcohol is involved probably is a significant factor in wine club but it might also be a consideration for this proposal.

Brilliant idea - I'm in too

Don't know what others think, but my gut is that trying to kick this off before Christmas might be too lofty a goal. Should we choose a date in January and try to make it happen? Although now that I say that I see that I'm basically only free one Sunday: the 15th.

Dates are going to be the difficult bit I think.

I'm sorry to say, but if we can't use their parking, i don' t really see the point.
100 euros for 3 hours isn't exactly cheap.
I don't know the details of the room though. but...

for 150 euros, we can get half a day of castle goodness with a parking.

The Viking suite has alot of space :
Width: 9.7m
Length: 19.8m
Height: 2.6m
Total Floor Space: 193m

Someone with a better english accent than me could contact them. Or, using that website, might find other suitable venue.

Like this one, less nice, close to Dublin Airport, 77 euros :

Room Dimensions
Width: 15m
Length: 15m
Height: 3m
Total Floor Space: 225m

More expensive : 150 euros for half a day, but with 4m height !

Room Dimensions
Width: 9.14m
Length: 7.6m
Height: 4m
Total Floor Space: 70m

I think, we could also investigate Yatch Club and Golf Club, they usually have nice room to rent.
