Prompted by something Edgt asked on the C&H thread, I have impulsively hoovered-up some flights from O'Leary* this morning, meaning myself and member Digger will once again be in Dublin for the ICH Meeting.

As always, it would be great to meet-up with all of the usual suspects, and any unusual ones who might want to tag along too. Logistics to be sorted-out nearer the time (though the quicker Eddie and Art confirm we're good on tickets, the earlier I can confirm my status as the forum's most hard-working leech).

Looking forward to it already.

* At a mere £40 Return EDI-DUB each, I can confirm that there was no fall-out over charges.

Grassy, Digger, you guys still coming? Are you staying over or making a day trip of it?
 
I'm a questionable attendee, thanks to the intervention of a gigantic oaf who goes by the name of Sharkey), and a couple of related domestic constraints.

I am hoping to confirm positively in the next few days. Digger is definitely going, I think.

Yes - i'll be there. But as Grassy points out its gone from being a boys days out to inviting multiple family members and burds! Flying in Sat and back after racing on Sunday.
 
Art, if you would be kind enough to send me a snap of the Hurricane Fly statue when you get there on Sunday, that would be greatly appreciated.

I'd even accept one with all your ugly mugs in it! :lol:
 
We'll do our best to battle our way through the milling crowds which I expect will be even denser that at Trump's inauguration.
