I for one could do without the 3 course lunch, and the paying the 85 lids, but I'll do it if that is the way people are doing it.
I agree. I'm not paying 85 lids to those touts and the prospect of having a 3 course lunch with a bunch of blazers doesn't exectly fill me with glee. Couple of pints of Harp and a soda farl at the border are ok for me. If we don't get a bus I'll drive.
I'm still working on a way to get this for nothing, but would be good to guage interest.
Id prefer to get a bus so I can have pints on the way to, there and on the way back. But I think €85 is a bit steep when you consider its only a two hour drive up to Béal Feirste. If we can do it ourselves, then we should. Just because K.T. are putting on a bus for us, does not mean we have to use them, if we can organise one ourselves cheaper and cater for our own needs (Drink / Singing / and more Drinking) rather than a 3 course meal with some old codgers then we should do it. And if Flash can throw in some free Heineken or Becks or whatever it is you brew it would be even better!

Count me in for the bus - If we dont get a bus, then thanks for the offer of the lift Flash, very kind of you, I would be delighted to go to Ravenhill in your car. (You dont still have that red toyota do you?)
