While a meet-up for dinner and a chat is quite a good idea, I'm not sure the NLI could cater for a large number of people arriving together to use the microfilm viewers. It can be quite busy there especially at week-ends  :-\

Oopss...didn't think that I would have to book people in for it   :o Maybe if half go on the Friday and the other half go on the Saturday, would that work?  ;D

Certainly in for the meal and chat bit.  Another point is that the NLI are now doing the passport photos for free as part of getting your reader ticket, so you don't need the trouble of getting them before hand.

No you don't book for the microfilm readers, but just that there may not be sufficient free machines if a large number of people arrive together & people could find themselves hanging around (unless there were books or the like that they wished to consult). The parish records & old newspapers are all on microfilm. However, there are a number of very interesting genealogical reference books in the genealogy room.
Just being a bit of a devil's advocate here I guess

Cheers Purpeller and Agho...will just see how many actually really want to go before the end of September and try and organise something around that such as booking tables for dinner etc...

Once the date is settled, I would love to come along if I can get a few days off work.

Count me in also for meal and chat!

 My favourite place is the Gilbert Library on Pearse Street.  Opens all day on a Saturday and can park in area also. It is close to Westland Row train/dart station. It does not close over lunch and has nice cafe with decent coffee/soup. Yes need a readers card for the research room and this is issued on production of some photo ID.

Perhaps Friday/Saturday evening and let us do our own thing with the day?
