Ah yes, but so much better than any races!
The lovely, unique RDS arena, the excitement of German, Irish, etc. riders competing for the Nations' cup on Friday, the flags, the pageantry, the music of the massed bands - can an LC event without LC compete with this?

It depends on one's personal taste, Athnuachan... the love of ceremonies or the love of friends varies by people.

"Take me to the ceremony..."

These are not mutually exclusive!
Both can be found at the RDS.

It was a great night- Liam O'Maonlai and the Brad Pitt Orchestra were really good. I didnt understand any of the Irish lyrics- but it didnt matter. I just absorbed the music and it was a wonderful night. What part of the country are you in?

Chrissie,
just go back to the previous page for the details of registration. The fee usually covers the cost of hiring venues, some sightseeing and other entertainment and a few souvenir items.

And actually less if you and your husband register early, Chrissie:
There is an Early Bird registration fee of €130 for bookings made before end of November 2013. (PayPal fee is included).
Hope you two can make it. I'd love to meet you both.

The event will run over three days from August 7-10th, 2014. However, in previous events, people gathered on the evening before-hand to register and also to meet with fellow Cohenistas for a meal/singalong. In Dublin we plan to have registration on the Thursday evening and again on Friday morning.

I hope this clarifies the issue for you.

Thank you.

Paula
I'm still a bit confused..... August 7th-10th is four days, not three. The Thursday evening would be 7th, so would that be the evening before, or would that be Wednesday 6th?

Friends,

We have advertised the dates for the 2014 Event from August 7th - 10th. August 7th (Thursday) will host the registration and some kind of social event on that evening. The discussions/readings/music/films etc will commence on Friday 8th August until Sunday 10th August. There may be scope for a tour outside Dublin on the Monday for those who wish to stay longer.

We are putting together a varied programme and we will update the Forum and Files as the pieces begin to fall into place.

Currently, we are looking at a number of venues in Dublin city centre. So in terms of accommodation we will post a comprehensive list when the venue is booked.

All good things on this glorious autumnal morning in Dublin.

Paula
on behalf of the organising committee.
