irish craic classic Ballyliffin '13 details. Updated details.

[bladeplayer]

gentlemen,
count me in for 2 nights and 2 golf. If anyone is around the sligo or murvagh area I would be up for a game their Friday afternoon as travelling via Derry is a no go for me considering the dates.
Looking forward to a good laugh again in Ballyliffen, and hopefully none of my friends will do something stupid like get married.

Your all worrying way too much about the parades, if you stay out of city centres and are travelling during the day you will be fine and probably wont even see a march.

Get yourselves up the normal and quickest routes and into the bar for a pint

Bill 2 nights hotel is £60 (€80) one night is £40 (€50). Feel free to send it in bits or in one go (as long as I have it by the 25th or so of January).
The golf gets paid for separately on each day but you could contact them privately and see if you could pay for that in advance to save having to bring more on the day. I dont really want to be holding onto folks extra money from then til July to be honest.

First post editted for a little more clarity.

No bother at all mate , can see where it could get messy alright .. grand il get the hotel money away to you before then & have that done ..

Good man, for those that have family etc, I am willing to take a couple of smaller payments between now and end of jan if that makes things easier (can lodge immediately if requested).

The reason I offered paypal, btw is that flogging old clubs etc on ebay could be a great way of making the trip almost cost neutral, certainly for the hotel anyway meaning no real money is coming out of the bank account, just from stuff sold on the bay.

Is that including your sticks? or you still planning on hiring when here?

Plus is it Belfast International or City? just remember to make sure you are booking the Airporter from the right airport as there is half an hour between pick ups and you dont want to get your timings wrong as it could lead to a long wait on the next pick up.

Im not implying your stupid enough to do that but one of my mates did so it has been done

 

[brendy]

Requested my man.
Can I ask, are you hiring a car?

BFS is the International airport. I do travel quite a lot so I'll get all my links and timings right hopefully The timetables are currently winter and will possibly change by then but currently landing at 09.40hrs I would need to get to the Airporter for 10am otherwise its 12noon.

I've selected my seat closest to the exit and with only hand luggage as I'm going to hire my sticks and collect from the airport I should be off quickly, hopefully.

If the times don't change to my advantage or I think it will be too tight I'll hire a car as I have now saved more than the cost of that with the flights and hiring my bats.

Would have been nice to have had more beer money but I hate hanging around and it could be busy around the airports with people coming in for the marches so I'll be happy to just get in a car and bugger off.

I'll just pay for my flights & hotel and leave the rest of the decisions floating as there not time sensitive.

 

[full_throttle]

fantastic deal fish, i so wish i was going

I was umming and aahing but alas dont think I can afford it next year. flights are cheap, club hire cheap, golf & accomodation cheap but all together its just a tad too much

Nothing stopping you getting across, get the same flight and half the hire car

The Airporter is quite good and they ask you what flight your on when you book and they will keep an eye on the flights and if your running a little late they will wait on you.

Although a flight at that time of day should be on time so you shouldnt have any worries there.

Airport will be quiet enough as anyone coming for the marches will probably already be here for the 11th night and most of them travel by ferry anyway.
