Sorry Catherine, I couldn't resist.

Great, I'm in then.

Is the subject matter going to be limited to Ireland only, or is it open?

Thanks! Looking forward to having an excuse to return!

It sounds as if Cork is well and truly sorted.. well done Catherine and Mel!

As for Dublin.. I agree with Fintan, Airfield would more than suit our needs, however I also agree with Michael, "It's one thing to show and another thing to be seen". Airfield is a beautiful setting, they're very accommodating there, but you really need to drive to get there easily, as we discovered at the last workshop. I felt it was difficult for those who don't drive to get there.

The gallery of Photography is easier to get to, and definitely more organised publicity as Michael said also, but I'm not so sure they'd be willing to facilitate the exhibiton?
There's Draíocht in Blanchardstown, not sure if it's also too far out and we have a gallery in Bray The Mermaid but again it's too far out and not central enough for everyone.

I've exhausted all on my list, but surely there's a few more about that will both suit our needs and make it easy for people to visit?

I knew letting Dinesh travel would be problematic.

Just send over someone that can drink two pints next time

[Bob Carnie]

Well I know that I am four beer Bob and then I just get silly or fall asleep, If McLean was with us I would at least stay awake since he spills all his beer on his trousers, and he keeps me laughing.
Dinesh is a disappointment for sure, but he is ours and we cannot control all his actions.
I guess its going to be up to Me to go on training, and get my sorry ass over to your neck of the woods soon.

I have let down both myself and my country. I am going to hit the pubs hard and promise to do better next time around.

@Bob and Dinesh
We look forward to a Round #2, LOL


@Everyone else
I was thinking we could base the exhibition around the trips we did together this year [or next] and/or the workshops we ran. That gives plenty of scope and also gives a sort of direction i.e. showing what we achieved as a group. We could run a few more early in the new year.

Any thoughts on that?

Good thinking Fintan, I think we need to allocate a view jobs to various people

I nominate Mel & Fluffy to sort out the Cork Gallery. Is that ok with you girls?

I don't mind sorting the Dublin gallery but would like help from a second person. Any takers?

We need someone to souce mounts and frames. Don't you have a good supplier Fintan? Can we give that job to you?

I think we need a cut-off date for members to sign up? Any idea when that should be?
