    Ok Nutso a tad easier to get to instead of Graig....

    Hey Kerry couldn't you organise a Friday business trip to Waterford, you must have some business connections here, stay over night then up to kk for the game and then back home after.....simples

    Thanks for that Nuts and thanks for arranging the two pubs. They both sound excellent.

    As regards hotel accommodation, most of us are staying at the Springhill Court Hotel www.springhillcourt.com. It is a 4 star hotel on the outskirts of the city. It is a 5/10 minute taxi ride into where Breathnachs pub is on John Street. The hotel has gym and pool facilities.

    As Nuts says, apologies to change the venue at this stage but Graiguenamanagh simply couldn't accommodate all the people who are coming.

    I am going to use the occasion to try and get rid of a couple of hundred of my old programmes so if anybody is interested, I will lay them all out on a table and people can help themselves to however many they want. Hopefully somebody will enjoy reading them.

    Kerry could be the location of the next meet up? Stranger things have happened.

    It's a lovely place for any group to gather.

    We'll see how this one goes.

    Just got an email from Marian off Indy R's. Her and her husband are travelling from Ennis, Co. Clare and overnighting in the hotel.

    Another bloke has contacted to say he is travelling from Cork.

    Thank god we moved it to Kilkenny City Nuts.

    Marian is going is she? That's good. I've never met her but have exchanged a few PMs with her in a past; she strikes me as the "right sort" (using Redknapp's terminology, not Del Boy's!).

    Mmmm, Kilkenny is more doable from Kerry. Would have to bring the wife/kids and stay over. Will start working on her.

    It looks like we are going to get good numbers.

    Ciarrai, I know of 5 other kids who are coming so your's would have some company. That hotel has a pool and a kids club.

    I love to hear of Rangers fans getting together like this. Recently the Melbourne R's met up & this Irish do looks as if it will be something special!

    Come down the Crown and Sceptre (far better than the Addy) before the Charlton match mate, there will be a good number of overseas Rs there for that match.
