These are our regular Monday evening electronics nights. Everyone from absolute beginner to experienced is welcome. These evenings are not classes or tutorials, rather a very friendly informal evening. We have a wide range of people who come. Some are absolute beginners who do not even work or study electronics, but are interested to know more. Others have something that they are already working on. We almost always have some first time visitors and we always give them a tour of the space. Come in with your Pi, Arduino, or whatever you have. Bring your laptop. Maybe you want to make something, solder, breadboard or use our electronic gear. Maybe you have some vague ideas and just want to get started. Or maybe you’re just curious……if so, it’s fine to come along and just see what others are doing. If you would like to get even more involved and have the full use of our space, we would be delighted to have you as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. We are located behind Mr Price and the Bright Lights store on Kylemore Road. We have lots of free parking available.

**Do you like to make things? Would you like to use 3D software, lasercutter and 3D printing to help you make your idea?** TOG has an open evening to learn how CAD software and 3D fabrication tools can help you make your project. All you need to take part is your own laptop and some ideas on what you want to make. This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers. We will be happy to help you explore how to use our 3D tools in designing and making your project whether you are a crafter, designer, engineer or hobbyist. Come and have a look at the tools in our space and get some ideas on how your project can be made.

New year, new venue!! We're delighted to announce The Circular in Rialto as our venue for January 2026. We're very excited about this space because it has everything the Games Co-Op needs, plus great pizza. Come join us **Monday** the **19th of January** at the **The Circular in Rialto at 7pm.** We’ll be at the Backroom, which you can find behind the curtain. We will have the usual socialising and networking with others in the Irish game development community. See what they have been working on, play test in-development games! If you have something you want to show off you can bring it along and get feedback too! This month's 1GAM theme is "**Names**" What does 1GAM mean? Well, it's a monthly Game Jam (1 Game A Month, get it?). Every month we give you a theme, and you can bring a game you made during that month to show it off to the rest of the attendees. Think of it as optional inspiration for prototypes, and if you need extra motivation, we'll be giving away Steam Keys to games that match the theme (We won't be very picky though). If you want to present, you should fill out [this form ](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe0UVGSd0kdiLKtuOkgNPI89GswAZ4lxHbo2tlDujjU_C2vdw/viewform?usp=header) You can also join our discord channel here to keep the conversation going: https://discord.gg/dJA7dhf Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Our free-of-charge meet-up upstairs in Ryan's Bar. 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. Late comers always welcome, you just might have to wait a little for a game to open up. **The meet ups are 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.

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.**

As you walk in the hotel, turn right from the bar, and you’ll find another bar where drinks are served.

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. 🔧✨

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

Join Soft Life Society for a cozy and intentional Cultural Potluck Night centered on community, connection, and culture. This is a potluck-style gathering where each guest is invited to bring a dish that represents their culture, heritage, or a family tradition. We will be tasting and sharing each other’s cultural foods while connecting through conversation, laughter, and soft living. The evening will also include fun games and a prize for the winner. Drinks will be available, but guests are welcome to bring their own favorite beverage if they prefer. This is a relaxed, welcoming space to slow down and enjoy a beautiful evening together. Limited spots available. RSVP required.
