W.A.R.P.S. BBQ + Prince August Trip

[Nick]

This year the annual BBQ will be held in Saorlaith's House out by Ballyvourney on Saturday May 29th!

Before that there will be a trip to the Prince August Factory, where wargaming miniatures are made.
That will include a tour around the Factory and a painting demonstration.
This will only cost €3

Tour starts at 11.30am, if you plan making your own way there!

There will be a bus running to the event. HOWEVER there is limited spaces on the bus so the bus ONLY for those who have no other way of getting there and want to go see Prince August - cost €2

If you're not going to Prince August, BBQ starts at 3.30pm-ish - please bring ALL your own food, drink, supplies and tent... we will supply BBQ!

Have a look at Prince August's website if you want to know more about them - www.princeaugust.ie or www.warzone-chronopia.com

A map with directions to Saorlaith's House from College Road can be found here

Here's some written directions from Saorlaith (under the spoiler tag)

(click to show/hide)

Boy Directions:
Take the N22, drive for around an hour. The first town after Macroom is Ballyvourney. Take the first left when you enter the village. Take the next left and a right at the top of the hill.

Girl directions:
Take the N22 (signposts say Macroom, Killarney, or Tralee). Drive for about 45 minutes until you pass through Macroom (the biggest town you'll pass through, it has a big car dealership on the Cork end of it and a graveyard on the Ballyvourney end of it), drive for another 15 or 2 minutes and the next town you come to is Ballyvourney. When you get into the town there's a Costcutters on your right and a Dairygold Co-Op on your left on a junction. Take the left turn there. Take the next left (after a bridge and a series of turns) then go up the hill and take a right. My house is up the first driveway you come to on the left. Green house, sloped garden.

If people are headed to my house but not going to Prince August could you leave it till around 3 to arrive because there won't be anyone home. And I'm willing to meet people in Ballyvourney and show them how to get up to my house also. There's a bus too to Ballyvourney, the number 40 bus to Tralee from Cork bus station, it stops just outside the Dairygold and I can collect people in Ballyvourney if they get that.

This is a quick update from Saorlaith:

Hey,

Just an update on the BBQ. For the people coming on the Prince August trip you can just follow me to my house when the tour's over.

For those of you not going on the tour you can start arriving at my house/ballyvourney from around 1pm onwards. That's just to give me time to be finished with the tour and be back home.

The BBQ starts officially at around 3pm-ish...

Remember to bring your food, tents, torches, drink...bug spray is probably a good idea too or if anyone has those bug candle thingies :p

Hope everyone has a great BBQ and see you all tomorrow!


There is still a few spaces on the bus if anyone wants them, €2 for the bus and €3 for the tour...
