We never had interest in meets down south, I think Aherlow Co Tipperary was as far south as we held a meet and then over 90% of those attending were north of the venue. Maybe now is the time to give it another go as that was a few years ago, we have a lot of new members since so who knows it might be a success, there is only one way to know. Is there some kind of a meeting room available there?

What about organising one ?
I wouldn’t mind going south for a few days and taking in a meet.
Be good to get a good meet together down south......

I love the idea of a meet down south.

That's a lovely campsite too, we spent two nights there earlier in the year and it's well worth it.

I am a big fan of Goosey island and have visited in all seasons.. A great initiative.. I had a 6 meter van and remember it being a little tight f om the church square down to the entrance ..I recently changed my van to. 8.5 meter ..Will I fit down ..Any one using a longer van had any difficulty in that right handed down to the gate ?

Quite tight alright but do able, friend of mine navigated it with a Burstner tag axle with a Trike on a trailer behind, he had to make a number of manoeuvres but it was the trailer that was getting caught

Are trikes really big in Sneem or something Pat? When we stayed in Gosey last year, we saw a few couples on trikes rock in to town. I never really considered that I might like to ride a motorcycle for real one day until I noticed those bikes

It was a Club meet Jason, It was their first time holding a meet there. I didn't know he was going there or he didn't know I was going. getting back to his problem getting in there, the problem was at the church, not where you turn right down to the site.
