I can probably round up a few men if we're stuck. Other than that we could hit the tope festival, normally on the the first weekend in June??

Why not just enter the lough swilly tope festival at the start of june, that way you dont have the hassle of organising a crowd yourself? tope will be only showing at that time of year anyway.

They seem to have a meetup and party in the Swilly every year before heading off to other parts of Ireland.
