How about that Irish meet up then?

Ryanair are offering flights for £10 all in just now, each way. So, how do one of you lovely Irish girls fancy arranging a meet up and some of us mainlanders might come over, too?

For example, I could got to Dublin on 11th September for the day, or overnight to Blfast the same day for £20, £25, and the prices from Manchester are the same.

Anyone else interested in a wee jaunt over the water?

(I've caught the meet up bug now! :D )

    Hi Jackie,

    We were away for our aniversary last week and I'm still a bit jet-lagged so I've only come across your thread just now. :o

    I would love to meet other Old Stylers from NI/Ireland and also anyone who wanted to come from mainland UK. Belfast is much closer to me than Dublin but I'd do my best to get to Dublin if it would suit everyone else better.

    We're off on our family holiday in less than three weeks (which I think might be too short a time-span to organise a meet anyway) so September or later would probably suit me best and give anyone travelling here a chance to find the best prices etc.

    I imagine zippychick would make it this time. ;) Well, no imagining about it really....I'd make sure she was there! :D

    Is anyone else interested?

    Ooooh how exciting - depending on the dates, I could probably get a cheapish flight to Dublin! Can't get to Belfast very easily though. I will keep my eye on developments! lol

  • I'd love to go for a meet up!! Although I'm in Belfast, a wee day trip to Dublin would be great! NIR are doing cheap web fares to Dublin for 10.00 return at the moment so nice and MSE!!

    Just saw this now and of course I am up for it....September would probably be best time for me so wherever on East coast would be grand...Nic1 sure we could arrange that I pick you up on way north as I pass the airport....JackieG will vouch for the fact that I am not an axe murderer called George!

    Will follow developments with interest

    if I can make it/afford it I will, I had such a great day at the Glasgow meet :j


    Jackie, are you still up for the Big Tent? I'm asking here because my PM's acting up, sorry to hijack :o

    Marie, I'm nurturing that Kefir, hopefully there'll be enough to share soon :)

    Souk, I'll get that number as soon as my PM's working again, I'm also locked out of one of my e-mail accounts, so I don't know what's going on :(

    I'd love to meet up in Ireland, but would have check finances closer to the time.
    I'm over in the north east but flights are generally cheap from newcastle.
    I'm shy though and knowing my luck i'd miss everyone meeting up lol :o
