We will be running this for beginners every week and anyone is welcome to join us to learn and get better together. Hope to see you there :D

The word “Gursha” refers to the act of feeding someone with your hands and is a gesture of love and friendship.”

[Gursha](https://www.gursha.ie/)
[Gursha Insta](https://www.instagram.com/gursha_ie?igsh=MXZtbDYzbXg4bTJkNg==)
This event is free to attend, but please note the following:
• Due to an increasing number of no-shows, last minute RSVP and the fact that some restaurants require a deposit for reservations, a deposit will now be required via [Revolut](https://revolut.me/aphidethp). It will be deducted from your bill. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable.
• The restaurant will apply a service fee for groups, typically around 1%.
• Each participant is responsible for paying for their own food and drinks.
• Some restaurants may not split the bill, so to keep things smooth and hassle-free, it’s a good idea to bring some cash or have Revolut ready for easy payments.
• If a restaurant requires a booking fee, we may need to consider alternative venues to ensure a seamless experience for everyone.
• RSVP updates are essential: If you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP so others on the waiting list can join. This also helps us manage reservations more effectively.

🍀 Meetup: Ireland — Land, Language & the Art of Resilience
🎙 Co-Hosted with Conor
Not a lecture. Not tea. A long Irish meal and an interactive discussion.
Join us for a shared conversation on Irish history, focusing on land, language, resistance, and resilience. This is participatory, informal, and shaped by the group — stories, questions, reflections, and the odd disagreement all welcome.
We’ll explore:
• Why land in Ireland was never neutral
• How language became identity and resistance
• Resistance in everyday and organised forms
• Resilience as something slow, collective, and deeply practical
We’ll:
• Untangle myth from lived reality (without killing the poetry)
• Look at how ordinary people navigated extraordinary pressures
• Ask why these histories still show up in language, land debates, and national mood
• Acknowledge that humour has always been one of Ireland’s survival tools
There will be storytelling, discussion, mild irreverence, and a respectful refusal to oversimplify.

Freestyle + Starliner Diner
**Starliner Diner -** We'll shut down wine club at 8 pm this evening and take a short walk to our neighborhood eclectic eatery - Starliner Diner. Join us after wine club for a snack or meal. Starliner is a longtime favorite in Hilliard.
Please RSVP early AND Please let me know in the comments if you plan to join us after at the diner so I can have accurate numbers for the reservations.
**On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\.
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**
