Belfast Meet Saturday 29th July

[Christopher]

Here's another list Gill,

www.a1tourism.com/uk/belfast.html There are some expensive ones on that list. Looking at the online brochures the Ravenhill Guest House, Windermere Guest House and Bienvenue look OK The International Youth Hostel is on the Donegall Road and there is the Linenhall House Backpackers Hostel in Kent Street which is close to the Central Library

If anyone is planning to be around on Thursday or Friday let me know. Joe and I will be in Belfast so we could met for a chat and drink so that we are not complete strangers when we meet on Saturday.

All the Best, Chris

I can feel all the excitement building , thank you Uncle Chris for all your hard work,and I am sure Joebhoy..will help you tidy up (so very kind of you to let him stay...a definite rootschat friendly thingy to do)

I am at the Malone Guest House on the Malone Road,hopefully will meet up with others at PRONI/GRONI during the beginning of the week,I will then be heading up further North to follow the root trail to be coming back to pick up Saz and go to the meet.

I can not wait to meet you all

Great to hear from you Steve.

Are you bringing a car? I am wondering whether a restaurant lunch or picnic lunch is best It is the afternoon bit Would the Folk and Transport Museum at Cultra be better than the City Hall and Museum Visit?

Chris

[stevenson]

I shall be with five wheels...........mobile

Think its down to transport and time Chris ,maybe people would prefere just to meet up with each other, to say hello as a day is not very long.

The Folk and Transport Museum is wonderful,but even a whole day is not long enough to enjoy it all (but only the old house bit is so intresting.)......would be easier for those in cars to pay to go in ,then park, than to try and park in central Belfast ,but it then would make it a nightmare for others who are relying on public transport.

Maybe we can ask all those coming what they would prefere

just a thought

Steve

Hello All

I might bring a car - just deciding which way to come.

I'll let you know in case there's a spare seat ot two.

Gill

PS
Looking forward to it all

Thanks Steve,

Sorry I missed your message there on 12th July.

I received a message from Gill this morning confirming she's bringing a car.

Here's my reply to her -

I'll make a note that you are coming by car. A friend, who is bringing her grand daughter,  suggested a picnic rather than a lunch in a pub or restaurant might be a good idea. If it is a fine day two indoor events may be adequate - the Linenhall Library and St Anne's. A visit to the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum where we could probably have a picnic in the grounds might appeal to people.

I am looking forward to meeting you Steve,

Chris
