Hi all some info for you,Dave opens with Word Doc Ist doc is meet times and where, also our run information for the Saturday Click HereThis Doc is a little bit of info on area we are staying at Click HereAs most of you know who come to the pubs meets a trip to Ireland was mentioned at i think it was our first meet or def 2nd last year,anyway it was agreed at pub that it would be small party and about 11 cars only as being easily manageable for something like this for our first time,and being under 12 cars we don't have to apply for MSA certificates and what not, the list basically filled up at pub so was not mentioned on here as places were already full, anyway just to let you know we are off on May 16th to 18th. A little info on who and where below The Group of 11 cars Dave & Evelyn,Andrew & Elinor,Jerry & Diane,Geoff & Karen,Lizzie+1,Al & Sharkey,FastJan,Oz+Mrs,Alan & Marion,Gordon & Peggy,Grant. We go by Stena Line Ferry from Fishgard Fri morning and arrive at Rosslare and then 45 minute drive to Wexford and our Hotel The Curracloe see and click photo below for info,we have a run sorted for the Saturday and hope to be out Sat night on the town doing an Irish Jig or 2 and as my first time a cross can't wait to try a real Guiness ;D It's a good job we got a specialist travel agent to book this for us As they told Andrew when he rang them to enquire that if i or we had booked this trip ourselves as a party and more than 8 of us we would have been breaking the law and we could have been regarded as a tour operator ha ha nuts eh? The firm we used have been organizing driving trips for clubs to Ireland for years and MGOC use them, here they are have a look they are called Travel Destinations Click Here Click our Hotel for infoI'm now in the process of designing some logos as going to make up some Tour T shirts with iron on logos to take with us, for those that are coming i will put what i have done re logos so far and will be quite simple but hopefully effedtive,wish us luck as my first time driving abroad, yes i know i know ;D ;D ;D Note T shirts will be very similar to this design example

You are getting very creative these days Dave, you obviously have far too much time on your hands!! I like the first logo better, but how would it look with the MGFers bit in italics just to break it up a bit? Never mind the guiness, I wonder if we can fit in a visit to a distillery while we're there? They do drive on the left in Ireland, don't they...

I do like the first one Dave but will go with majority. Lets hope the weather is good so that we can have tops down. Spoke to a Friend yesterday he has driven the Wicklow Gap part of the route we will do on Saturday and it is fantastic... Just need to find places to stop for drinks food etc.
