Get Outta Dodge July 8-10 Arranmore Island, Donegal, Eire

[Bofs]

Bad Samaritans SC present our 9th annual excursion into the wilds of Donegal. We return to Arranmore Island in the Atlantic Ocean again this year to a new venue The Glen Hotel.
This great location is just up the hill from the pier, has ample parking out front for scooters as well as loads of room for lazing in the sun and a great sheltered campsite. They serve breakfasts and excellent food all day. It`s the perfect all-in-one venue.
We`ll have two rooms of sound between the function room and lounge catering for all tastes and there`s a shortcut to Smugglers Disco for the all-night party people!!
We will have our usual ferry deals.
Full details on Bakebook...GOD 16
Weekend pass is €10.

Bofs,

I have a list of all the B and B's, so I am planning the trip from Ipswich to the West Coast of Ireland for this one. I might make those calls tomorrow's get some digs.

Having spent a rather messy evening at Mersea with the Bad Samaritans last year, they are a fabulous bunch of people and I am sure anyone coming across the water to visit them would be given a fantastic and memorable welcome.

I kinda feel that if the Bad Sams can make all that effort to come to England, I should return the compliment to attend their event.

Anyone else up for this? If you are unable to attend Mull, this might be a similar test at a more convenient time of the year.

Oh, and I am told that the sun always shines on Arranmore.

OK, I'm going.

I'm booked in at Annie Bonner's B&B for the Friday and Saturday night.

An Irish scooter adventure at last, after a number of previous missed opportunities.

Any one else up for this?

Have you got your July 2016 calendar out Donnie? Mine says that July 8th is a Friday.

It would be good to meet up with you if you can make it.

But aranmore isn't on the mainland, it's a wee feckin island ya eedjit.
Bit like when one of the Belfast ones once said he was going to a "mainland rally" the Isle of Wight I had to correct him.

Well if you want to get pernickety it`s on a wee island next to a bigger island beside a bigger island
