Board Game Meet Up in Celbridge!
A weekly board game meet up in "Mc Mahon’s Bar and Eatery" which is a pub. We get our own section, it's wheelchair friendly and parking is free! 🙂
Whether you are new or a veteran player you are all are welcome!
General guidelines are:
1. Avoid handing drinks to people OVER a game.
2. We cannot take responsibility in the event of theft so keep your valuables close to you.
3. Strictly over 18+ only.
The "rules" would be:
1. Be respectful to each other.
2. Don't be a creep.
3. Be patient to players of all skill levels.
Failure to be a decent human being\* will jeopardise your participation in future events.
The pub owner is really nice and are letting us use the space so if you can - please buy a tea, coffee or a drink on the night to support them if you can but don't feel obligated to do so.
They also do food so you won't go hungry!
The event starts at 7 PM and everyone is free to play until 11 PM where we'll wrap it up for the cleaners.
Feel free to bring your games, join in on a game if there's space or organise a game here for the upcoming event to get participants. We advertise the games we want to play ahead of time on our discord server, so feel free to check it out. https://discord.gg/xW8WryXmKu
If you get lost or have any questions feel free to message me on WhatsApp at 0858405446.
Just a note for those coming by car from Dublin:
1. I highly recommend using the motorway then driving into the pub. There's a slightly faster way with the back roads but unless you are from the area its not worth the 2 minutes saved since it's barely lit and the bends are somewhat hazardous.
2. Traffic from 5 - 6:30 is horrendous but the roads are clear enough after this time.

Join us as we teach the various methods of picking and bypassing common locks in Ireland.

Warm clothes reccomended as the heating isnt the best.

MUG <> GitTogether Meetup: AI Dev Tools
In collaboration with Gittogether Dublin 🤝
The AI DevTools revolution is here, and it's time to separate the signal from the noise! Join Dublin MUG (MongoDB User Group) and
GitTogether Dublin for a hands-on technical deep dive - evening exploring the AI-powered tools that are reshaping how we build software.
Whether you're already using AI coding assistants daily, curious about integrating AI into your development workflow, or want to connect with other developers navigating this space, this meetup is for you!
We aren't just looking at autocomplete; we would be exploring the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). We'll map out the best tools from the landscape and show you how to build a developer environment where your AI agent actually understands your data.
**🛠️ What we're building:**
SDLC Mapping: We'll start by categorizing the "chaos"—mapping AI tools to the SDLC (Coding, Testing, Docs, and Ops).
The Agent Workshop: A hands-on setup of a GitHub Copilot Agent using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). We'll get everyone's
environment "Agent-ready."
Workshop: GitHub: https://github.com/skills/integrate-mcp-with-copilot
The Data Connection: We'll hook that agent into the MongoDB MCP Server. You'll see how Copilot can explore schemas, write aggregation pipelines, and query Atlas directly from your natural language prompts.
Workshop: https://github.com/SANTANNA001/MongoDB-MCP-Config/blob/main/MongoDB_MCP_Copilot_Steps.md
Performance & Optimization: A showcase of the "essential" stack—MongoDB Compass AI Chat, the VS Code MCP bridge, and using AI to
solve real-world performance bottlenecks.
**📅 Agenda (6:00 PM - 8:30 PM)**
**6:00 \- 6:30 PM \| Intro\, Networking & Pizza 🍕**
Grab some food, meet fellow developers, and share your experiences with AI DevTools
**6:30 \- 7:15 PM \| Workshop 1: Integrate MCP with GitHub Copilot**
Speaker: [Oleksandr Slynko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/slynko/), Data Engineer @Github
Hands-on exercise expanding Copilot's capabilities using the Model Context Protocol. You'll connect a GitHub MCP server to Copilot and use Agent Mode to research, implement features, and manage issues.
**7:15 \- 8:00 PM \| Workshop 2: MongoDB MCP \+ Copilot**
Speakers: [Ade S.B](https://www.linkedin.com/in/st999/overlay/about-this-profile/),[ Venkat Cherukuri](https://www.linkedin.com/in/venkat-sai-cherukuri-71053513a), Engineering @MongoDB
Connect your Copilot to MongoDB Atlas! Learn to configure the MongoDB MCP server so Copilot can explore schemas, query collections, and write aggregation pipelines from natural language.
**8:00 \- 8:30 PM \| Open Discussion & More Networking**
Stick around for Q&A, more networking, and honest conversations about AI in our daily workflows

reviving gardans, Growing community
**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.
TOG Open Social
Drop in to our regular Open Social for a great alternative Saturday evening. It's a great informal way to see the space and meet members and visitors.
If you’ve never been in before, we’ll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things that you’d like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. Weather and volunteer permitting, we might have our wood fired pizza oven going outside!
[https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc](https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc)
Expect caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have lots of free parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets!
Sunday boardgame meetup
Our free-of-charge meet-up in the Black Sheep Pub on Capel Street.
This is a casual meet up for people who want to play boardgames. Lots of people bring plenty of games and rules will always be explained so don't worry if you're new to the hobby and you don't have anything to bring along or think you won't know how to play.
The meet-up runs for the whole day but late comers always welcome, you just may have to wait a little for a game to open up but games will be starting and ending throughout the day.
**IMPORTANT!**
**The meet up is free of charge but we do ask that people support the bar by buying food and/or drink. The bar is very accommodating to us and it's important that we support them in return. Bringing in outside food or drink is completely unacceptable.**
Check out the comments below where people will say what games they are bringing and express your interest in joining if interested.
Any questions contact either of the organisers Gavin or Stephen.
Free Seed and Plant Swap
It’s a New Year and January has already given way to February. Many of us at TOG are keen vegetable growers and we’re now looking forward to spring and the growing season ahead. The harvest last year was super, so let’s hope for a repeat. Join us at TOG for a free seed and plant swap from 3 PM.
We'll be planting lots of seeds on the day and hopefully no one will go away empty handed. We have lots of pots and we'll have a bag of potting compost too. If you have anything surplus that you'd like to share, why not bring it along.... seeds? plants? cuttings? We'd love to hear your own stories of what you like to plant in your own garden or space. Tell your friends and family about the event. If you're involved with any community gardens, then definitely tell them also. The kettle will be on all day with plenty of tea and coffee and biscuits.
From 7PM that same day, it’s our regular monthly Open Social event which you are welcome to join also. There’ll be pizza and plenty of chat and craic as usual. TOG is a non-profit space run by unpaid volunteers. Donations are always welcome.

A bog can serve the same functions as a traditional rain garden but has the advantages of being low maintenance, climate resilient and attractive for a much longer part of the year.
David Marsolo is a long time Wild Ones member. He has been maintaining artificial bogs at his suburban Westerville home for about 20 years. He will describe how to install a bog and fill it with many interesting native plants including pollinator and host plants
