Belfast, Newgrange, Film
Hi everyone! Ed here!
Quite a few things to talk about in this email
Belfast
First, we just wanted to say thanks to everyone that went on the trip to Belfast! It was the largest weekend trip that we’ve ever done, and we hope that everyone had a good time there. Also, we wanted to say sorry to the people who were in the two rooms with the broken heating; I’ll get you some drinks to make up for it! Also, with regards to the Giants Causeway day tour — we did call the hostel in advance to tell them that (the majority of the people in) our group was interested in doing that tour on Saturday and that they should let the bus company know about this. I rang the hostel about this more than a week before we arrived, but either the hostel did not forward our request or the tour company ignored it.
We are now considering writing a formal complaint to the owner of the hostel about both problems. As we’ve never had any problems with them before (we’ve been staying at the same hostel for several years now) we were very surprised to encounter these issues. Hopefully everyone that wanted to see Giant’s Causeway got to go, even if it was on the express tour on Sunday.
Newgrange
Just as a reminder, the details for the two trips to Newgrange are as follows:
- Saturday-group
- Our booking is for 11:00am. We will leave from Maynooth at 9:45am. The tour lasts about 2 hours, so we will return to Maynooth at about 2:30 in the afternoon.
- Sunday-group
- Our booking is for 10:00am. We will leave from Maynooth at 8:45am. The tours is 2 hours, so we’ll be back to Maynooth at about 1:30 in the afternoon.
We still have spaces available for both days, so if you’re interested in signing-up, you can e-mail us, or text me at 087 6761959. Also, we will hold a second chance to sign-up this Thursday evening in the Arts Block. I will be in the corridor by the computers between 6 and 7 PM for anyone that still wants to go!
Film
Our film this weekend, due to ‘popular demand’, will be the film In Bruges, starring Colin Farrel. The film will be, as usual, in Theatre 1 in the Arts Block, this Sunday evening, starting at 7:30 pm.
That’s all for now; hope to see you all soon!
