Welcome to our Secret Lair

Last year, we had the Leprecon Gamer Village at Jacob’s Inn, and this year, they’re more than happy to have us back in what (as mandated in the Evil Villain’s Guidebook) I must refer to as the “Secret Lair.”  Jacob’s is a wonderful hostel, really well kept and with fantastic deals and rooms to suit everyone from private single, double or twin rooms to spacious 12-bed dorms.  After last year, I personally was so happy with it, I’ll be booking in again myself.

The process is slightly different this year.  In order to book this year, you must contact Jenny Farrell at Jacobs directly by emailing groups@isaacs.ie and say you’re looking to book as part of the Leprecon group.  They’ll tell you the price (prices are from about €25pppn for a 12-bed, other rooms may vary) and how to secure the booking by credit card or other payment as appropriate. Below is a sample email for you to copy/paste and edit as appropriate.  Please remember to edit the emails as I don’t want a bunch of bookings in the name of “insert name here!”

Dear Ms Farrell,

My name is [insert name here] and I wish to book one place in a 12-bed dorm room as part of the Leprecon group for the nights of the 12th and 13th of March, 2010.  Please send me the details of cost and payment methods.

Best Regards

[insert name here]

Please ensure you book early to avoid disappointment as there will be a Rugby match on that weekend in Dublin, and while it is a pretty big hostel, it could fill up fast!

If this does happen, do not despair: there are other hostels you could try:
