Brunch & Chill: Make New Friends

[https://groupvibe.com/](https://groupvibe.com/)
**Join the Dublin** **Brunch Club and make new friends!**
Each meetup brings together 4–6 people for casual conversations over brunch. We use the Groupvibe platform to facilitate the meetup and ensure everyone’s a good fit.
👉 **To attend, you’ll need to complete registration via this link:**
[https://groupvibe.com/](https://groupvibe.com/)
We’ll share the exact location of the upcoming meetup the night before only if you have bought a ticket or membership plan.
**Why this works:**
\* Smaller groups make real conversations easier.
\* Discover new restaurants in your city, together.
\* Curated brunch venues with good food and vibe.
\* If you hit it off with your group, there’s plenty of time to hang out afterwards.

This meetup is organized by Groupvibe, a small team passionate about helping people form meaningful friendships offline.

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.
The Unplugged Club (Art, Chats, Journalling, Reading, Writing, Fun))
A phone free night to connect with others, create, read, write, relax or just chill. No technology and lots of things to do.
A phone-free night in Dublin city centre to slow down and spend time offline.
It's a €3 entry but **free for all Meetup members,** just show you're part of the group at the door :)
Come along for an easygoing evening of reading, making, chatting, relaxing, or just having a break from screens for a few hours. No phones, no notifications, no pressure to do anything in particular.
The welcome event is taking place in a mystery venue near Temple Bar and will only be sent to ticket holders.
We’ll have a large upstairs space with light background music and plenty of room to settle in however you feel like. Attendees are encouraged to come alone as we want people to meet others.
There’ll be collage materials, paper, pens, magazines, and drawing supplies available throughout the night. Bring a book if you’ve been meaning to read. Start a collage. Draw. Journal. Meet someone new. Come with friends or come on your own.
You’re welcome to chat with people or keep to yourself. Both are equally encouraged.
This is simply a space to switch off for a while and enjoy being present, around other people doing the same.
### On the night

• Paper, pens and drawing materials
• Space to read, write or journal

BullIsland Beach Volleyball :)
Hi all, lets meet at 12h to play Beach Volleyball in BullIsland, near the car park on the "Statue of Our Lady, Star Of The Sea" side of BullIsland. From Clontarf Rd cross over "The Wooden Bridge" and keep going on until the end, turn left when you see the beach car park and keep going to the left. We will set the nets beside the car park 😉 Please avoid to park at the beach because the car can get stuck on the sand. If you come by car park as soon as you find space and then walk.
The idea is to have lunch at the beach and play beach volleyball. Please bring water, sun glasses (for the sand more than the sun) and sun cream (even when it's cloudy you can still get burned with the wind).
I would love to create another lovely healthy group to have fun with and enjoy the weather whenever it's possible. All levels are welcome because the goal is to have fun and do some exercise.
Any questions please contact me over the phone: 0876819433, or put a comment on this Meetup. Please bear in mind that on the same day of the event it'll be driving so give me a phone call if you are lost.
Dublin French Culture and Language Meetup Group
As you walk in the hotel, turn right from the bar, and you’ll find another bar where drinks are served.
We’re right behind.
This meetup is free to attend. Just grab and pay for your own drink when you order to support the bar and keep things cool with the venue.
Walk & coffee/lunch Malahide Castle
The weather forecast for this Saturday is pretty promising so hopefully we’ll see you joining us for a great walk & coffee/ lunch afterwards 🚶🏼♀️🚶🏻♂️
We are meeting at the entrance to the car park to the castle grounds, it’s opposite to the dart station in Malahide at 11am
The Demesne Perimeter Walk (Sylvan Trail): A flat, fully paved, and highly accessible 4.5 km loop that takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. It is entirely free and weaves through open fields, deep woods, and past the castle's exterior.
**Note: if you are delayed or need to cancel, can you please leave a message below so that we can wait for you (or cancel your booking) thanks 🙏
Let’s play… Monster of the Week / The Quiet Year
Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games - you will choose which game you play on the day. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination.
🎭 **This week's facilitators:**
* 🧛**Antonia** with *[Monster of the Week](https://evilhat.com/product/monster-of-the-week/)*. You are part of a ragtag group of hunters who investigate the strange, the supernatural, and the terrifying. Think *Buffy*, *Supernatural*, or *The X-Files*. Ordinary people (or mostly ordinary) who know that the darkness is real, that every fairytale and folk story contains some truth. As a hunter, you've decided to do something about it. This week, your group hears of a series of murders happening in Allberg. Four bodies in six weeks. All lost more blood than their wounds suggest. In addition, weird symbols have been found around each victim. Can you find the culprit and prevent further tragedy?
* 🏘️ **Adam** with *[The Quiet Year](https://buriedwithoutceremony.itch.io/the-quiet-year)*, a GM-less, map-making game. You define the struggles of a community living after the collapse of civilisation, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern. The game is played using a deck of cards – each of the 52 cards corresponds to a week during the quiet year. Each card triggers certain events – bringing bad news, good omens, project delays and sudden changes in luck. At the end of the quiet year, the Frost Shepherds will come, ending the game.

Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin)).
Craft Night
**Craft Night has returned to Tog!**
*From 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm every second Sunday, drop by and join in.*
Whether you make the yarn itself (we love spinners!) or noodle about with e-textiles and blinky quilts, you will be very welcome.
If you haven’t been to Craft Night before, it’s mainly people working on portable crafts like yarn-based and textile projects, jewellery and paper crafts. Feel free to bring your current WIP (Work In Progress). We’ll take over the common area with crafting and conversation.
We might even try to bring a group Craft Night project to Dublin Maker (it’s been a while!).
You’ll find the nights on [our calendar](https://www.tog.ie/calendar/), so you don’t need to remember which every other Sunday it is. Newcomers to Tog are more than welcome to join us.
See you there!
