Business Strategy

* The current plan is meetup every two weeks going forward. * If you don't have a board still feel free to rock up, however if you do have one please bring it in. Every bit helps a ton. * Even if you don't know how to play you're welcome here, we're happy to help teach. * Thanks to all the beginners who came, please come again!! Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

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.

ast year we packed up a few projects, a pile of flyers, and the usual “sure we’ll only be there an hour” optimism… and had a brilliant day out at the Phoenix Amateur Radio Club annual rally in Coolmine. Good news: it’s on again this year, and we’ll be back along representing TOG — **EI0TOG** — for a chat, a catch-up, and a bit of radio craic. ### Radio rallies are for everyone If you’ve never been to a radio rally, don’t let the name put you off. They’re **not just for licensed amateurs** or hardcore collectors — they’re for anyone who likes **electronics, making, fixing, DIY, audio gear, test equipment, and learning how things work**. You’ll see traders with radios and antennas, boxes of components, the “maybe I’ll need that someday” adapters, and plenty of people happy to help you figure out what you’re looking at (or what you accidentally bought!). ### The details **Date:** Sunday **15th February 2026** **Event:** 2026 Phoenix Amateur Radio Club “Coolmine” Rally **Venue:** **Coolmine Community School, Dublin, D15 FW97** **Doors open:** **10:00**  ### Say hello to TOG (EI0TOG) Drop over and say hi at the TOG table. Whether you’re curious about getting started in radio, want to know what a hackerspace is like, or you’re deep into a project and looking for a nudge in the right direction — we’re always up for a chat. And if you’re already on the air, give us a wave — it’s always great to meet radio friends in person as well as over the bands. ### Photos from last year Want a taste of what the Coolmine Rally is like?
