Regular drinking occasion- Thirsty Thursdays

Some far-sighted members came up with the proposal that ex-colleagues could meet regularly, without any particular organisation for the event, by turning up, if available, at the Merrion Inn- our” spiritual home” on the second Thursday of every month. Thanks, Jim. Any time after 6.00 pm.

The first of these colloquia will be in September and a confirmation/reminder will be sent c. a week in advance. Each pays for his own and don’t ask too many embarrassing questions. As a routine evolves, and assuming enough participants, confirmations will be sent monthly.
