St Patricks week- Derry Bike Polo Tournament + Dublin bike festival + tourney?

the 17th falls on a saturday next year so i presume the lads will organize the massacre on that weekend ie. 16th til 18th with the polo tournament happening on paddies day itself (17th). we are looking into accommodating foreign teams for the dublin part of this adventure, but we are a pretty small scene so unless if a good few of ye dont mind staying in a vacant house we 'acquired' access to from our house then don't expect too much free-accommodation-wise. sail and rail is cheap and bikes are free.

i will ask the lads and see what dates they are thinking this time round just to double check

this will be amazing : D

phat, I wll try to organize the tourney in Derry for the 14th and 15th, OR 15th and 16th where a bus would to take us to Dublin late on the night of the 15th OR 16th... Would it be a bit much having a 2 Day event in Dery? The thing is if i get a good bit of funding it might be worth going all out on a 2 day event.

I am also working on enlisting some children from the community to come do some painting on the wood borders of the courts. This is to integrate more young people in to the event and to promote cycling, while the bicycle charities ´sustrans´ and ´da´s´ cycling group for children and yourg fathers should also attend.

Loking into live music, permission to consume food and drink, market stalls and a 60´x 80´gazebo in case it rains. Might be a it ambitious though...
Anyway we can work together with this in whatever way posible and i´m hoping guinness will sponsor, for booze...
