Also, new forum, new features, each event can be added to the calendar. A post can be created for them automatically, or not. How cool is that?

Hi Fred,
If I'm being completely stupid!!
Where are these ISR events being held? Are they all Mt Leinster?

Ps. Like the updated forum.

Thanks Rob

Hi Rob (thanks  ,

Yes, all in Mt Leinster 
You are right, I edit, forgot the location

Hey Fred, my ol' fruit, my ol' mate, my ol' friend. How can I put this  without seeming to be critical

PSS,........second weekend of March. We know that "Paddy's Day" the following week is always chilly. Is there a particular reason why PSS has to be in March? And so early in March. (If you get my drift )

You are like my girlfriend Keith, you can be critical 

No particular reasons other than I pick up the same dates every years for years 
Worked quite well so far, except the odd lack of wind from times to times (last year, the PSS only flew on the Sunday if I remember. Lightish stuff on the Saturday).

But if a majority want to move the date, nothing is set in stone 

[billscottni]

I thought we'd talked at the last event of maybe moving the PSS to April and having an event in late May/ June time?

See you all at this ISR event. Looking forward to beautiful weather and good company.

Bright and early bout 9

[gerryb]

looking forward to meeting up ralph.

does 'about 9' mean getting out of bed at 9 or arriving at tountinna at 9?
