Just saw the forecast. It looks like good tent-putting-up weather tomorrow Friday. It might be interesting putting up a tent on Saturday though!

Erecting tent poles has been proven not to be a problem for us O'Carrolls.

[Billy]

And there was me trying to avoid using words to that effect.

[Goose]

Feck. Ok wont be able to get over to Clogheen till Saturday Morning. Dropping my Sister to the Airport tomorrow night in her car so she doesnt have to leave it there. ANy ideas what time the run will be ? So I have enough time to get there.....and Erect my tent.

[Billy]

The plan is to be back at the campsite in time to watch Alastair Cragg in the 5000m final at 1pm. So the plan is to head off at as close to 10am as possible.

Call me at 087-4195640 if you're running late.

Just back,

Firstly a big well done to Billy, for organzing a great location and weekend.

Secondly to the weather, for without the rain on Satursday, Billy would have being hoping out of the mini at very turn and the run would have been hours longer.

A great place , great turnout , great weekend.

Eventually got bac, the car got a bit upset on the way bac so it decided to break down, fair play to gary in dairy gold in new inn, who let me use the office phone and charge my own,

[Goose]

Really had great fun the weekend.Met loads of great people and finally put faces to names ( well I remember some names anyway ) Thanks for welcoming me so well to the club and I plan on coming to more and more events with you guys. Still having nightmares of waking up to a cow sitting on my Mini though

[kerryminigringo]

I,m sure that all that attended this weekend will agree that it was a great weekends craic.It was good to put faces to new names and good to see that the new members really enjoyed themselves and enjoyed the craic.I really enjoyed the run,great to see so many minis from around the country together enjoying the run and the caves where a good attraction as well.Well done to Billy and the crew for putting together a very enjoyable weekend and the venue was excellent,even a little bit of rain on saturday did not put a damper on the weekend due to the indoor facilities.



Anyone who has ever been on a run with Billy will be all too familiar with this picture.He is not called "Billy jump out" for nothing.


Even the people of Waterford were delighted to see us.





The IMOC,s crack potholing gang.


Even the donkeys like the colour of Johnny Murphy,s Hornet.

Breakfast IMOC style.

[woody]

Just back from the weekend and all the family had a ball.Good to meet the new members and hope we didn't scare them too much with the old stories.I think we'll have a few more cars heading for the IMM next year. Well done Billy,good show.

[spicooper]

Cheers
Flynn Family

[BlackSe7en]

I hope not, 'cos they will shut it down next year and build holiday homes on it. Billy, a great weekend, thanks. To the Moloney's , Flynn's and "Drogheda" O'Carroll's , thanks for the fry-ups.
Joebe1, glad to hear you got home without any more hitches.
It was great to meet new people and put the faces to the names.
Dave, I hope Halfords didn't give you any grief, when you explained that their tents aren't up to an Irish Summer.

[mmurfee]

hi all and a big thank you to Billy and everybody else who made us welcome, it was our first time to meet you all and we had a great weekend. Big thank you to Darren for having me as a passenger on the run and Dermot for allowing me to turn his sprite inside out now i know what my one should look like.......
Martin and family.

Hi All,
A big thank you to Billy for arranging a great weekend, i'm just sorry i missed the Saturday evening/Sunday morning activities.
Myself and the boys had a fantastic time and it was good to put faces to the names which i will probably forget by the next time we meet, (I have a bit of a goldfish memory when it comes to names, so please forgive me).
Thanks to all for the warm welcome and I look forward to meeting you all again. I hope to make it to the auto jumble next month.
Halfords gave me no hassle at all, I walked in all set for an argument and all i got was "No problem sir, we will order you a new set and you will have them by next week" which was nice for a change.
Once again thanks to all, see you soon.

Dave T, Patrick & Ryan.
