I reckon Portrush would be too far north for the boys from Eire so maybe somewhere a bit nearer the border. Bangor sounds good winkeye Newcastle would also be good.

if yous want this to be a BIG meet then this needs posted up on all the southern irish sites as they have a large chunk of the Irish population of E30's! location will then prob need to be over the border too, i'm sure they wont fancy driving a few hundred miles when all we have to do is blast down to bangor or newcastle!

Need to get a good location sorted for this meet, not 100% sure on Newcastle now only know of one big car park down there and with it being held on a Sunday it would be full same with Portrush

Can think of a few in Antrim that would be sweet, Cinema Car Park being one?

Any good ones up about Bangor man?

Kingsland in Bangor would be a nice place, right on the waters edge, two decent sized car parks beside each other. Also has some swings and slides too :)
