Perfect for beginners, makers, repair folks, and engineers who enjoy the practical side of components and mechanisms. How it works \- Watch together \(one episode per night\) \- Q&A and chat after: questions\, examples\, tangents\, and “how would we do this at TOG?” \- If you miss a week\, no stress\. Watch it at home and come along to the next one First session \- Monday 26 January \- Episode 1: Chain \- Free and open to all \- TOG Hackerspace \(Dublin 12\, D12 CF6V\) Full details: https://www.tog.ie/2026/01/tog-watch-night-the-secret-life-of-components-tim-hunkin/

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.

We’re starting the new year with **Frank Herbert’s *The White Plague*** — a chilling, near-future thriller about bioterrorism, grief, and the consequences of scientific obsession. Written in 1982, its themes feel more relevant than ever. The story follows a molecular biologist who unleashes a deadly engineered plague, reshaping society, politics, and humanity itself. It’s intense, thought-provoking, and guaranteed to spark conversation. 📅 **Monday, 27th January 2026** 🕢 **7:30 pm** 📍 **Tog Hackerspace, Dublin 12** As always, you don’t have to finish the book to join in — all readers welcome for the discussion, tea, and company.
