Let’s play... Mothership / Hex and the City / Eclipse Runners
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. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination.
🎭 **This week's facilitators:**
* 🧑🚀 **Axel** with more sci-fi survival horror in *[Mothership](https://www.tuesdayknightgames.com/pages/mothership-rpg)* *\- Who Goes There?* The Euro-Canadian colony on the planet New Moravia has been growing steadily since settlement began 50 years ago. The natural next step in its development has been the construction of a space elevator. However, the region in which the elevator is being built is a wild and desolate one, far from the main settlements and home to unpleasant predators. You have been hired to provide additional assistance on-site - security, scientific, mechanical and the like. A straightforward enough job: working this remote station behind the safety of automatic security systems…but the storms are gathering, and you’re not entirely sure that howling is just the wind…
* 🌇 **Vishnu** with *Hex and the City*: an urban fantasy clone of *[Lasers and Feelings](https://johnharper.itch.io/lasers-feelings)* where you are members of a monster hunting crew. You are all that stands between the forces of darkness and the innocent people that don't believe in them. Whatever hijinks and personal drama you have going on in the background, you have always managed to come through and save this City. Or at least, you have until SERENITY, THE CHOSEN ONE got herself grievously wounded in the last battle, leaving you with no prophetic visions to guide you, or convenient one-shot monster killing powers while she recovers. (Or maybe she's off "recuperating" with her demon boyfriend again, who knows).
* 🦾 **Adam** with *Eclipse Runners* \- a hack of *[Blades in the Dark](https://bladesinthedark.com/)* where you play a crew of cybernetically-enhanced runners on an isolated colony in the far future. Your fixer has hit paydirt and this could be your final run. A senior researcher at Aurora Biogen who wants to hire you to help them defect. As you arrive at Biodome 5 you will find it’s in lockdown - an experiment has escaped containment and is overwhelming the facility. You will need to get inside the Biodome, locate the target amid the lockdown, and extract them before the situation deteriorates further…

ELECTRONIC DANCE IMMERSION -ESPRESSO RAVE — (Supporting My Lovely Horse Rescue)
A sober Sunday afternoon dance party with electronic music — dance, recharge, and still be home in time for your Sunday dinner.
Dance your Sunday afternoon away at **ESPRESSO RAVE** — a high-energy daytime dance session with electronic music and great vibes, downstairs in Wigwam.
And yes — you’ll still be home in time for Sunday dinner.

**Dancespace will be getting a shout-out on *Alive and Kicking* (Newstalk), Sunday morning, 22nd March.**
### Why Dance?
Dancing isn’t just fun — it’s genuinely good for you.
Music and movement together help release **endorphins and dopamine**, natural chemicals that boost mood and reduce stress. Moving in rhythm with others can also increase feelings of connection and belonging.
It’s one of the simplest ways to clear your head, lift your energy, and reconnect with your body.
Coffee and cake will be served upstairs — we keep the dancefloor for dancing.

reviving gardans, Growing community
**Hands in the Soil: Community Growing, Learning & Craic**
This first gathering will be a relaxed mix of **hands-on garden work, shared learning, and good conversation**. It’s about getting together in a real space, doing something practical, and seeing what ideas and connections might grow from there.
On the day, we’ll:
* Get our **hands dirty** with some light garden work and soil prep
* Do some **seed sowing** and talk about what grows well locally
* **Make kombucha together** and chat about fermentation, food, and simple home practices
* Share knowledge, questions, and experiences around growing food
* Enjoy some **fellowship, chats, and a bit of craic** along the way.Alongside the practical side, we’ll also have an open, informal discussion about a bigger idea:
* The possibility of **small community “park farms” or gardens** in underused green spaces around Dublin
* What that might look like, what’s realistic, and whether others feel drawn to exploring it further
There’s no pressure, no expertise required, and no expectation beyond showing up with curiosity and a willingness to pitch in. Whether you’re experienced with gardening or completely new, you’re very welcome.
Bring clothes you don’t mind getting muddy, and if you have them, gloves. Everything else will be very low-key.
This is just a **first step** — a chance to meet, work, talk, and see if there’s a shared appetite to keep growing something together.

Humanist Program
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
