hi all please join me for my first meetup in Dublin bring your favourite books or what you're currently reading for coffee, food and a good chat 😊📚☕

Hello Everyone! Let's read something before coming to the event. It can be a few pages from a book, an article, a poem, an advertisement, a joke, a recipe, a quote, social media content - anything you find interesting. We meet and chat about it, as a starting point of conversation. Please feel free to bring books :)

Join us for coffee, a chat and bring your project at the CHQ (fully accessible venue). We're usually at the tables in the middle of the building - just look out for the yarn :) There's a choice of cafes, including the Bakehouse & Starbucks. There's no charge for the meetup but we ask please that you join our Whatsapp group if you plan on staying with the group. Cost is only €5 a year to pay for Meetup subs etc.

📚Reading books and discussing them are two distinct experiences! Conversations about books and sharing insights help us better appreciate literature and enrich our lives. Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books we're currently reading or have recently enjoyed—whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader. There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬 It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests! ⚠️**Something Happened?** If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me. 🔍 **How to find us?** * When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group. * If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡 I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

At TOG, we love hacking, tinkering, and making things… but we’re also very good at accumulating half-finished projects. You know the ones: the “nearly working” circuit, the “just needs a weekend” code refactor, the 3D print that needs sanding, the costume that needs one final stitch, the repair you definitely meant to do months ago. So we’re doing something about it. We’re hosting a Finish-a-thon, a one-day, community-powered mini hackathon dedicated to making real progress on the projects that have been sitting in a box, on a shelf, or in a Git branch called `final_final_v3`. Whether it’s coding, crafting, designing, writing, fixing, soldering, sewing, or sorting, this is your day to get it done (or at least get it properly moving again). ### Event Details * **Date:** Saturday 24th of January * **Time:** **11:00 AM to 7:00 PM** * **Location:** TOG Hackerspace, Unit 1B Motor City, Kylemore Road, Dublin 12, D12 CF6V ### And afterwards After the Finish-a-thon we’ll roll straight into our monthly social night, but this one will be a bit special, because it’s also TOG’s birthday. 🎂 So: progress during the day, then a proper catch-up in the evening with the gang.  ### What’s the plan? Nothing too formal. The whole point is momentum and community: * **11:00 AM:** Arrive, grab a bench, tea/coffee, and settle in * Share what you’re working on (or keep it quiet and just crack on, no pressure) * Work through the day, ask questions, borrow a hand, offer a hand * No prizes, just the satisfaction of progress, plus the usual TOG encouragement and problem-solving ### What can you work on? Anything goes. If it’s a thing you started and you want to push it forward, it belongs here: * Squash that annoying bug in your project or open-source code * Finish an electronics kit gathering dust * Finally wire up the enclosure, label the panel, tidy the loom * Repair something that’s been sitting in the “I must fix that” pile * Wrap up a design, write-up, or documentation you’ve been meaning to publish * Revive a project you love but stalled on No project? Also grand. There’s always someone who’d love a second pair of hands.  ### What should you bring? * Whatever parts, tools, and materials your project needs * A laptop is usually a good shout * TOG has plenty of tools and bits, but assume you’ll take home what you bring (and any half-finished bits you create) ### No tickets this time There are no tickets or registration for this event, just show up and join in. If you’ve any questions (or you’re not sure if your project idea fits), give us a shout and we’ll point you in the right direction. See you Saturday. Let’s finish some things. 🔧✨

TOG is turning **17**, and we’re marking it the best way we know how: by rolling our regular **Open Social Night** into a proper **birthday session** with **pizza, cake, and plenty of chatting, tinkering, and general messing**. If you’ve been meaning to drop in for ages, this is a lovely one to start with. If you’re a regular, you already know the vibe: good people, interesting projects on benches, and the sort of conversations that start with “what’s that board?” and end up with someone soldering at 1am. ### When and where * **Date:** **Saturday 24th January** * **Time:** **7:00pm until late** * **Location:** **TOG Hackerspace** The space stays open until the last member calls it a night, which often means we drift happily into the small hours of Sunday morning. Pop in for 10 minutes or stay for the whole stretch, you’re very welcome. ### What to expect * **Homemade pizza** from the TOG pizza oven, rolling out through the evening * **Birthday cake** (because we’re not animals) * **A relaxed open evening**: tours, chats, and a look at whatever weird and wonderful builds are on the go * **Community craic**: talk, tunes, and the usual “oh go on, I’ll show you how that works” energy Our Open Social Nights are an easy, no-pressure way to see the space and meet the people. There’s no agenda and no expectation that you’re “good at” anything. Curiosity is the only requirement. ### Make a full day of it: Finish-a-thon earlier that day This birthday party is happening the **same day as our Finish-a-thon**, running **11:00am to 7:00pm**. So if you’ve got a project half-done, a box of parts staring at you, or a nagging “I really should finish that”, you can spend the day getting it wrapped up, then roll straight into the birthday celebrations at 7pm. Have a look here for the Finish-a-thon details: [https://www.tog.ie/2026/01/a-day-to-finish-what-you-started-finish-a-thon-2/](https://www.tog.ie/2026/01/a-day-to-finish-what-you-started-finish-a-thon-2/) ### What to bring We’ll have food covered between pizza and cake, but feel free to bring along: * A drink (or your beverage of choice) * Snacks to share * A project to show off, or something you want advice on * A friend who’s curious about makerspaces We’ve also got **plenty of free parking**, so it’s handy to swing by with gear, gadgets, or something for show-and-tell. ### Come celebrate 17 years of TOG Seventeen years of TOG is a bit mad, in the best way. What started as a small group of people who wanted a place to build and learn has grown into a proper community workshop full of skills, tools, and good humour. So come in, grab a slice of pizza, have a wander, meet the crew, and help us celebrate. **See you Saturday 24th January from 7pm.**

Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Pick’em Up Joe Coffee Co.](https://pickemupjoe.com/)!

**Calling all queer crochet enthusiasts;** I am a visual artist located in Columbus that is searching for people who may want to gather while also participating in creating a piece of artwork. My goal is to spend time enjoying one another’s company while making a work of art that will be displayed within our community. I plan to teach people to crochet (if unfamiliar) while also inviting current fiber artists to join us for some much-needed social interaction. There are no expectations from those who attend, materials will be included, and any amount of participation is welcome! If you have a favorite crochet hook or current project you are welcome to bring that along too! The primary goal is to foster a safe space for our community to chat, create and be. For further information please email [landerknits@outlook.com.](http://landerknits@outlook.com.) \*This will be our 2nd meeting, bring friends and make new ones. Come as you are and make along side other like-minded folks.
