**Hands in the Soil: Community Growing, Learning & Craic** This first gathering will be a relaxed mix of **hands-on garden work, shared learning, and good conversation**. It’s about getting together in a real space, doing something practical, and seeing what ideas and connections might grow from there. On the day, we’ll: * Get our **hands dirty** with some light garden work and soil prep * Do some **seed sowing** and talk about what grows well locally * **Make kombucha together** and chat about fermentation, food, and simple home practices * Share knowledge, questions, and experiences around growing food * Enjoy some **fellowship, chats, and a bit of craic** along the way.Alongside the practical side, we’ll also have an open, informal discussion about a bigger idea: * The possibility of **small community “park farms” or gardens** in underused green spaces around Dublin * What that might look like, what’s realistic, and whether others feel drawn to exploring it further There’s no pressure, no expertise required, and no expectation beyond showing up with curiosity and a willingness to pitch in. Whether you’re experienced with gardening or completely new, you’re very welcome. Bring clothes you don’t mind getting muddy, and if you have them, gloves. Everything else will be very low-key. This is just a **first step** — a chance to meet, work, talk, and see if there’s a shared appetite to keep growing something together.

Hi all, I’ve never seen a Nigerian film before, so I’m jumping at the opportunity to see one now. Please join me for **My Father’s Shadow** this **Sunday, February 8th at 4.10pm.** Against the backdrop of the 1993 Nigerian election crisis, two young brothers, Akin and Remi, accompany their estranged father, Folarin (Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù), on a journey through the sprawling metropolis of Lagos as he tries to reclaim unpaid wages while all around them political tensions threaten to reach boiling point. Unfolding over the course of a single day, Akinola Davies Jr’s extraordinary, semi-autobiographical debut feature explores family bonds, identity, memory, and fatherhood. Screening is taking place in Cinema 2.I’m in F8. It’s best to be safe than sorry and book in advance. I’ll be in the foyer from 3.45pm with my purple baseball hat. See you all there, Martin

We are excited to invite you to our February meeting. Please join us for a time of prayer and worship, and please stay for refreshments in the hall after the service. All welcome 😀🙏🏳️‍🌈

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
