Irish Meet February 2015
Eddie has planned a get together near Dublin for the weekend of February 14th and 15th next. The accomodation base will be the Lucan Spa Hotel and my place (across the road). Campers welcome at mine (electric hook up possible). Meeting up from Friday night the 13th, last departures Monday morning the 16th. An option is a Barbecue at my place on Saturday night to avoid trying to get restaurant reservations on Valentines night. Saturday and Sunday could be spent exploring the Dublin/Wicklow Mountains with the possibility of deep end off-roading if there is the appetite. Very light off-roading an option in my field, test diff-locks etc. Dublin ferry port is 30/40 minutes away, Rosslare, Belfast and Larne are all about 2 hours away. Liffey Valley Shopping Centre is 5 minutes away, Dublin city centre about 30 minutes. The Guinness Storehouse in Dublin is Irelands number one attraction these days. Lucan and nearby areas have accomodation to suit all budgets within reasonable taxi fares of the base at the Lucan Spa Hotel. Also some excellent restaurants nearby to suit all palettes.
Lucan Spa Hotel rates for the February gathering are as follows.
All rates include breakfast.
€55 per single room (approx £44)
€79 per twin or double room (approx £63)
€99 per triple room (1x double bed and 1x single bed, approx £79)

Phone with credit card details to secure these rates.

Ask for Betty, but whoever is on duty (usually Mary or Shannon) should be able to help. If there is any uncertainty, ask them to check the reservation in my name (Eddie Gilmartin) for February 14th.
These rates are valid from Friday 13th through Sunday 15th of February 2015 and are not available online. Availability of room types can't be guaranteed. Remember Saturday night is "Valentines" so book early.
The Lucan Spa Hotel is a small, family run hotel. Don't expect The Ritz. Rooms are old fashioned and clean. Food is excellent. Craic will be mighty :-)

I did a quick tot yesterday. Between members and non-members I am expecting at least 20 G's to make appearances over the weekend of February 13/15th. Most will join the Wicklow Mountains drive on Saturday. At this stage that drive will be 95% tarmac.
Meet up at the Lucan Spa Hotel at 1000 for a 1030 departure. Lunch at The Hollywood Inn, Hollywood, County Wicklow.
Dinner provisionally booked at the Spa Hotel. Running out of time to book anywhere else for Valentines night. Menu looks tasty.
See menus attached.
No firm plan yet for Sunday. Feedback please.
Eddie.
