This year, in what is fast becoming a tradition, our annual Christmas 2008 bash saw us taking a trip to Cork. 

In total 12 of us took the trip this year, sampling the delights of Cork (including the Guiness and craic of course).  The pictures below show a flavour of the weekend.

The picture above was still at Newcastle Airport!

Cork was a lovely City, built around two main Rivers, with one right next to our Hotel (The Grisham Metropole - Highly recommended)

Geoff is always eager to tell us the benefits of moustaches.

Typical Cork humour.
