March 9th birthday venue
So folks the Party will be at the Trident Hotel , The Worlds End, Kinsale
Now that's what you call an address.....Viking long ships tied up on the shore here back in the 800 AD and considered Kinsale the end of the civilised world(many would say that is still the case.....just joking)..
Vikings
The bash will be held in the Harpoon Room 8pm to 1.30 am
The Trident Hotel
The Hotel is blocking off 20 rooms,unfortunately the cheaper rooms are gone already.Best deal they have to date is 62.50euros ($75.00) / head sharing with breakfast Sat nite...Sunday nite prices drops significantly..The rooms are very nice and if people want to stay longer I am sure they would be up for negotiation...Full use of a pool,Gym and spa facilities are available up the street...Great massages available too,especially nice after a long flight(you would want to book this in advance)..
Group Number; 94752
Name: John Farley
Arrival Date; 9th March 2013
Depart: 10th March 2013
Rooms; 10 Executive double and 10 executive Twin/Double
Bed and Breakfast Rate: €125.00 for double occupancy, €92.50 for single occupancy.
I reduced rooms been held to 10....if you want hotel room I would book asap....you can always cancel up to a few days before the your stay..
St Particks Day Parade
The parade is on Sunday the 17th and we are entered.I have a rough outline for design which I will tell you about if you contact me(want to keep it a little bit quiet for now)My brother in law Richard has been kind enough to allow me to assemble it in his shop and has priovided trailer and offered to towe the float...very kind of you Richard .I think it will be assembled and painted mid week so if anyone is available please let me know(no probs if yer off travelling)I am trying to keep the budget under $1000.00 so if you feel like chipping in a few bucks for materials etc it would be much appreciated.I will template the idea here and have it already to cutout,assemble and paint in Kinsale. .I will try to keep it simple but something we all will be proud of.It would be nice if we all dressed up with a little San Francisco in mind (a SF giants or Niners jacket and hat might do the job nicely)
The Parade is not big but it will be fun and we will make it a day to remember of that I am sure..

Flights from Cork
http://www.corkairport.com/home.aspx
If you are planning to stay around for the both weekends and wanted to take for a few days
check out flights from Cork to Paris etc.
some of these flights are only available in the summer
kinsale wine museum
Trying to organize a wine reception at the Wine museum is not an option due to regulations and the it doesnt open until Easter, trying to do it elsewhere in Kinsale maybe get more complicated for everybody than I first thought. By chance there is a Wine Geese wine reception at Ballymaloe house on Sunday march 10th hosted by Chateau Lynch Bages winery (one Frances best wineries).I have reserved 10 places it is about $20.00/head for the tasting,(hoping about $30.00 for transport,its about a 45 min journey).There is a wine pairing diner for $120.00 after which is kinda expensive but for what they are offering probably well worth it. Ballymaloe is one Ireland's best restaurants and well worth a visit.They also have a nice cafe in Cork city in the Crawford art gallery that I have always enjoyed .Please get back to me to confirm numbers (we can always reduce numbers but it would be nice to let them know and I will need to arrange transport).
