    It’ll be fine Laura – we have a couple of ice-breakers amongst us, you’ll be fine.
    BTW, were you able to persuade your Mum to handle the transport?

    Look forward to meeting you!

    Mark we were told the last time the pub was 200 yds down the road but it was a good half hour walk

    It’s probably at least half an hour again this time. The hostel is quite a distance outside Skibbereen.

    The orgainising committee :D has been aware of this situation for some time now, and they will be suggesting (and
    perhaps organising) some form of a local taxi service be employed, in order that no drinking time is lost, OR that our
    little legs are strained un-necessarily!

    SO, RELAX! :D :D :D :D

    Folks, we are getting near (I know the excitement is at fever pitch now :D )

    And apologies for the column mis-alignments – it adds an extra little challenge!

    The first list are the atendees and current accomodation bookings.
    PLEASE confirm if there is a ? opposite your name, and also let me know if you want
    any changes. MUST HEAR FROM YOU BY NEXT TUESDAY.

    The second list is a draft itinerary – including some activities on the Sunday – ZoundZ is helping
    with this. PLEASE let me know of any questions AND suggestions – it is only a draft.

    FINALLY, transport wise on Saturday, I need one lift from Rosscarbery to Glen on the Saturday for
    ZoundZ-I need a volunteer.
    Any other transport requirements (excluding mand), please make yourselves known!

    Thanks

    Just seen that the Tour of Ireland cycle race is going from Bantry to Cork on the 23rd. It is expected to pass through Skibbereen at about 11:09am and Rosscarbery at 11:35am. There may be road closures for a short time as it goes through.
