It's that time again boys and girls....the 3 months are up and once again we get to play our small part in supporting the fantastic work of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service by sacrificing a little of our time to make sure there's help there for those who need it when life goes horribly wrong. So many of our members here on IBF have benefitted from this help and it's a tradition I'd really like to keep going. As always, our regular donors are more then welcome, but we’d also love to get some first timers out..so don’t be shy!

The details are:

Venue: Blood Clinic in D’Olier Street, Dublin
Date: Wednesday, 1st February
Time: From 5:30 onwards

For the noobs - giving blood really is painless. The staff take extremely good care of you and a feel good factor is guaranteed. Not everyone is suitable to donate however so please consult the link below to make sure you’re eligible;
Can I give Blood?

The format usually goes a little like this - show up at 5.30ish, have a bit of banter, followed by a bit of slagging, followed by more chat (somewhere in the midst of all this there will be the small matter of the donation) rounded off with some free tea/coffee and biccies and more banter in the onsite café. If you’re even half thinking of it or it’s one of those things you’ve never gotten around to, then now’s your chance

For those travelling by car - if you park in the Fleet Street carpark you can validate your ticket at the Blood Clinic so it's free

The blood clinic can accomodate a maximum of 10 people at any one time. Please copy and paste the list below, adding your name, if you can help.

Many thanks,
Stellar

Great to have a full list folks. If anyone wants on the subs bench, post here or send me a PM, it's often the case that someone has to back out on the day and we'd like to deliver the promised pintage

[Hatcho]

Are we meeting anywhere before heading into the Blood Clinic? Where's the best spot for me to park the rothar whilst we're in being drained?

[CBR 46]

Park outside....people usually arrive in drips and drabs as they get off work at different times.

What side of the road is the clinic on and does it say that its the clinic on the door? Im a bit stupid when trying to find things...

[gipi]

Pagan,

The clinic is on the right side of D'olier St as you approach from O Connell Bridge, not too far from the bridge itself. There is a sign over the door (not a big one!), but as the clinic is upstairs, it looks like an anonymous apartment lobby.

I'm afraid I'm going to be a late withdrawal from today's donation list - I'm not feeling 100% so won't risk donating today.

Hope ye have a good time, catch it next time around!

[FizzyLizzie]

I'll take GiPi's place, not needed in the yoga class tonight so might as well do something else good instead.

Hope you're feeling better in the morning GiPi

[gipi]

Thanks Liz - hopefully it's nothing more than a reaction to the super-heated office I'm in at the moment (someone expected freezing weather and turned the heating up to 11!!)

[Hatcho]

Heading into town shortly - tis brass monkey's out there!! Might stop on the way for a wee nibble - don't fancy passing out in front of all them tough bikers!!

[KTRIC]

Haven't been well the past few days from over doing it. So I think this not a good idea unless you lot think you can lift my carcass.

Anyone fancy taking my place ??
