Nomadfest in Dublin!!!
Taking place from Wednesday 15th March to Sunday 19th March
(St. Patrick's Day - 17th March)
AIESEC Ireland are hosting a reception event during the festival:
AIESEC Ireland would like to invite you to our biggest reception event for 2006: St Patrick's Day! During March 15th-March 19th Dublin will be transformed into a city of fun and festivity as people from around the world come and celebrate Ireland's most important national holiday.
So, what's the plan?
There will be many events planned throughout the 5 day festival. Aiesec Ireland will be choosing which events we will go to as the official festival schedule becomes finalised. Once we set our agenda it will be posted to the Aiesec Ireland Trainee Community. You have the freedom hang out with us or go to other events of your interest. We will make sure that the Aiesec Ireland events on our agenda will be free or at a very low cost. We will let you know where and what time will be meeting and for how long. Sound good?
You will be in charge of booking your flight/train/bus transportation and arranging accommodation. I will be announcing available spaces in Aiesec member's apartments soon. These spaces will be given on a first come first serve basis. I will post who will be staying where on the Aiesec Ireland Trainee Community page. Once all these spaces are filled, you will have to look for hostel accommodation. We also cannot guarantee reception for everyone as we don't know how many Aiesec people will be coming to Dublin to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
If you need any more information please send an email to calgary@aiesec.ie.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Dublin this March!

A bunch of trainees from Amsterdam are already coming and it's the best weekend of the year to be in Dublin.
You can check out some of the events at www.stpatricksfestival.ie though not all events are listed yet.
If you're in Europe check out www.ryanair.ie and www.aerlingus.com for flights.

There'll be some accomodation going with AIESEC members, so if you want to come the sooner you get flights booked the better ... and hostels tend to book out for the festival by the end of January! Calgary is trying to organise accomodation with members but these places will be limited. I'm planning on hosting a few nomads at Chez Karola, first come first serve ... or cleverest bribery on a postcard please ... so email me at karola.lenehan@gmail.com and calgary@aiesec.ie if you want to come!

I and Vishen are very likely to drop by too. How much closer to Dublin can you be than Edinburgh? :) Anyway, St. Patric's in Ireland just sounds the right thing to do.

Hey guys! I'd thought I'd post a comment. So, yeah it is a freakin small as world as I am here in Ireland coming from California planning an Aiesec Ireland St Paddy's Day event. How crazy is that!
I hope to see many of you guys there! It should be tons of fun, and a great experience.
I'm ready to get seriously "Irished" are you . . . ?

Have'nt seen you since that day we went shopping in San Fran in the summer of 2002. Since you're the organizer, I now really have to consider coming.

Hello AIESEC Ireland. I am a fellow AIESECer from Kansas. I am studying in Paris right now through KU and we are trying to come to Dublin for St.Pats weekend. Do any of you have any suggestions of where to find an available hostel or place to stay. It would be awesome if someone could email me back. My name is Kelly and my email is kdaigle@ku.edu Thanks!!!

Hi all,
Please read the latest posting on nomadlife abotu paddys day from last week
http://nomadlife.org/2006/03/st.aspx#comments
We're all outta space and have 4 people that we have nowhere for. SO if you want to come you need to find yourself somewhere to stay BEFORE booking your flights cos we're past the point of squeezing people in, sorry!
As for hostels, there are all booked out already, Paddys weekend they are like golddust! You can double check the links I put in this post but I think you need to know someone here to give you somewhere to stay at this point.
