Proposal for Dublin City meet and drink! :)

[Gavin]

We should probably make this a quarterly thing maybe? What you all think?

I would love to see something like that.

Thanks for posting the photos. I just need to figure out who is who, Dave Davis looks to have had a good time haha and I recognise Louie & Cormac.

Who is the bloke hiding under the table?

Excellent .. I escaped the photos

Edit: I'd definitely be on for another meet up quarterly would be good as well

Looks like it was a great night guys! .. I ended up in the office till 10:30 that night and i'll be honest after doing a day like that i was really just fit for home and dying!

Still would be on for going to another if there is one happening again...

Deadlines... gotta love em?

Glad it was a good night anyway guys

David... Did Aoife go in the end? Oh! Could you do me a favor haha .. if you are chatting to her.. could you get her to Text me .. I left my phone in china and ended up getting a new one .. so don't have her number.. If she could text me it would be very sound

Cheers
Dave

Hello Webmasters, I am really glad to have been in Harbour Master. I feel I learned an awfully lot just talking to you and, especially, I liked your honest approach to SEO and doing business in general. Things like 'I work just with clients who trust me', 'I don't take on low-value jobs' etc.

I think Irish web master community has a great potential, so please, let's keep in touch and meet more regularly...

Agreed. Was a good night and was fantastic to put a face to the names. Simona, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you. I am sure our paths will cross in the very near future

To everyone else, thanks again for taking the time to speak with me. Hopefully now that we all know each other a little better we can meet up more regularly.

Thanks Michele for the drinks too!

BNI - Business Network International

And, just realised that some of you might be interested...

There is that networking organisation BNI and I am in BNI Trinity Chapter Dublin Ireland - Home chapter, we meet every Thursday at 6.45am, the meeting finishes at 8.30am and you can visit us twice for free - you get free breakfast

Well, just wanted to mention that the web guy has left our chapter as he had to move away from Dublin, so there is a vacancy for somebody in webdesign, SEO etc. - as just one company per business category can be in the group.

So if you are interested, you can come this Thursday to see what it's all about and you can then decide whether that would be the kind of networking you are looking for. It's all about referrals and the notion is "Givers gain" so if you give referrals to other businesses, they will give them to you as well.

You can contact me 086 233 4565.

Sounds quite cool ... sounds quite early and unfortunately sounds quite far away as well.

I should add if any of ye are down in galway and fancy a mini tour of the city (town) ... meet up / beer / coffee .. just give me a shout.

We were members in Carlow. It was a total waste of time, as most of the businesses were only interested in tiny online deals. It was great for the solicitor, accountant, engineer and architect - they picked up plenty of high value contracts

I guess as a hosting company ... you wouldn't really make money from them. How many of them would require a dedicated server ? mostly they'd approach a web designer / developer .. so I'd guess it could still be quite useful for them ?

Most of the small businesses only wanted email, so even a web designer wasn't going to make any proper money from them

I'm finding more and more small businesses are getting concerned about their online presence ... still not willing to pay too much for it though yet they still fork out on silly adverts in papers.

Damn, I was in town Saturday night and forgot all about this - was manky drunk anyway.

 

[Forbairt]

yeah a few of us had started with the match earlier on in the day (never again .... until the next time )

Great to meet everyone

Hi everyone,
It was great to meet you all. I'm sorry if I didn't get a chance to speak with you. It can be hard getting around to everyone when having interesting conversation .

I think I got to meet the majority of you though which was great and my girlfriend and I had a good night. I tried to "throttle" my beer intake but thanks to sponsored drinks it was a bit hard to say the least. Not to mention its almost an offence in Ireland to knock back free beer hehe.

I just want to thank black night hosting for sponsoring the drinks, it was really great and I'd love to organise another at some stage in the future.

*I wasn't in any of the photo's either, next time we'll need to take more photo's .

Cheers,
Gavin.

 

[cr8or]

nice to see you all!! it was a good laugh

 

[davidbehan]

I'm still finding it hard to match faces to names. That's what I get for meeting Ken, Micky and James at 4pm!!!

I think we handled ourselves quite well... considering!

Well, at least I think we did!

 

[louie]

I actually enjoyed very much as it didn't turned into one of those business meetings or anything like that.
It was pure socialising and making conversation.

Myself I only remember few of the people I met and I still have problem putting faces on them...
Better luck next time.

Thats because of lack of photographic evidence

Is MickyWall still alive ?

I think there was a bit there for everyone to be honest whether you were into just meeting up ... discussing a bit of business ... putting faces to names or whatever

Definitely recommend it to those that didn't show up for the next one

 

[krivak]

I better come out (not the closet)

I was really cool to meet you all and attach faces to user names and posts. lol. I was one of the few females there, after all. Promise to be more active here and contribute ! .. ermm... if I have time

Is MickyWall still alive ?

Yeah just about. I'll maybe give the warm up event a miss next time
Anyway it was great to get down to Dublin and put a few names to faces.
