Hi John,
As far as i know the answer is "NO" ....
Sent a message to our Irish Community about 4 months ago
and still waiting on a reply, a few people have contacted me
and asked about meeting up to talk about travel and swap tips.
I am trying to get this together at the moment.
regards
joe

Great idea - keep it going.

We could probably host a mini meet like the recent HUMP in Ireland sometime in the next two years. I have a possible site in mind in County Down. If you're meeting up in the meantime let me know and I'll make an effort to come along as long as its after the end of october as I'm on a ferry out of Dublin to Morocco/Western Sahara this weekend - that last sentence sounded pretty cool but actually I'm terrified!

Keep in touch.

Drew

To use that old phrase "me too"! I'd love to attend a meet here - never made the UK one this year. I'll keep an eye on this thread. Neil

Hi All,
I have trained and given advice to a number of Irish travellers
in the past as i type some are in South America, India and Africa
at the moment.
If you like we can have a get together in Dublin on Sat 27th Sept
for a chat, swap stories and the like.
I will bring along my own moto fully loaded to show what i normally
take on my travels.
If interested and if anybody knows of a good meeting point and
venue post here.
This is FREE.... but you'll have to buy your own coffee :-)
Regards
joe

I am a member of the Irish community and never got a message about this at all. Are you sure it went through the system? Anyway I think it's a great idea so count me in if you guys are meeting up alright. 27th sounds as good a date as any.
