Garfield Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 What's the handiest way to get to the Stillorgan Park Hotel using public transport? Is it far from the Luas at Sandyford, or is it better to get a bus? Quote
Warbonnet Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 What's the handiest way to get to the Stillorgan Park Hotel using public transport? Is it far from the Luas at Sandyford, or is it better to get a bus? 46A will drop you outside. Quote

Is it far from the Luas at Sandyford, or is it better to get a bus? There's a few buses that pass the hotel, inc. I think the 84a, 84x, check the web, in my experience the 46a's usually travel in packs of three's Quote

Is it far from the Luas at Sandyford, or is it better to get a bus? It's also about 20 mins walk from Blackrock Dart station if you fancy getting som exercise in while you're at it! Quote

Cheers, lads... I'll go with Fran's suggestion of the 46A as it'll be the handiest. Should've known to use it... used to get it to work every day! Quote
Warbonnet Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Quick note to say well done to the organisers. It was a fantastic fair I have to say, better than any Clontarf gig I had been to. Good venue, loads of stuff on offer and very good prices too. Well done to all involved! Quote
BosKonay Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Just to echo that, I met up with a few dodgy looking characters alright Having been to a few of the other trade shows, have to say this had the best layout, atmosphere and mix - will be back in Feb! Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Great day lads great seeing you all again. Oh yea and I finally got to meet Garfield great to finally meet you bud:tumbsup: Quote
Garfield Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Great day lads great seeing you all again. Oh yea and I finally got to meet Garfield great to finally meet you bud:tumbsup: Likewise, man. Hope all's OK at your end tonight. As has been said, the fair was very well organised and there was a good turnout. Would've thought the folks at Fran's new place of work would've thought him that no means no, but seeing the items in his bag proved that wasn't the case... It was nice to meet up with a few of the other familiar names from the forum, including Boskonay, Burnthebox, DartTrain, and of course, Wrenn, from whom I picked up 161 in Supertain livery... will hopefully make it up again for the February fair.

108 Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Definitely a great mix of stands. Roll on February. (Money to spare after the Christmas madness) Quote
irishthump Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Definitely a great mix of stands. Roll on February. (Money to spare after the Christmas madness) Amen to that! Have to agree, well organised (apart from that dodgy character on the door!) and plenty of stuff on offer. I only picked a few small bits and pieces myself, hopefully will have a few bob to spend at February's gig. Quote

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Would've thought the folks at Fran's new place of work would've thought him that no means no, I think he forgot his safe word :dancing: Quote

I did well to walk out of there without a challenger. Now that's restraint! Quote
Garfield Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 I did well to walk out of there without a challenger. Now that's restraint! I hear you have to work your way up to the big ones... Quote
RedRich Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 It sounds like everyone had a great time. It's a great way to make friendships and cement others, plus there's trains involved. Everyones a winner. I would love to have been able to attend but maybe next time. Sounds like Fran got some of the good stuff. Rich, Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Picked up these at the Stillorgan gig Not train related but just shows what is out there A pair of Triumph Garda figures by Britains. Never released as a mainstream product but a small amount, believed to be around 50 were commissioned by the Triumph agents in Ireland in the early 70's when Triumph triumphed with the order to provide their motorcycles to the Gardai They differ from the "Police Patrolman on Triumph" model in that the bike colour is a darker shade, the shirt & tie is also blue as compared to white on the Police one The bike also has leg defenders fitted which did not appear on any other Britains Police model.
