**The perfect way to spend a Saturday?** 🌞 Join The Offline Club Dublin as we head North to explore the rugged, breathtaking cliffs of Howth. On **Saturday, April 25th**, we’re trading the digital buzz for the sound of the waves and the fresh salty air of the Irish Sea. ⛰️🌊 **Where we meet:** We’re gathering at the **Howth DART Station** at **11:00 AM**. We’ll hang around until 11:15 to make sure everyone finds us! Maja & Lexie will be there before (visual guide will be sent a day before the walk!) 🥾 The Route: We’ll be taking on the beautiful **Howth and Baily Lighthouse Loop**. This is a 7.6km trail that brings us along the cliff edge with views that’ll make you forget all about your Instagram feed. It’s a moderate-to-low difficulty hike with an elevation gain of 268m—enough to get the heart pumping, but plenty of time to stop and soak in the scenery. Expect about 2–3 hours of pure coastal magic! 📵 The Vibe: No phones allowed, but you can take your "normal" camera! 📷 **📸 Bonus:** We will have a **photographer on-site**! This means you can keep your phone tucked away and still have beautiful photos of the day to look back on later. We’ll share the gallery with everyone afterwards. ✨ What to expect: * **Coastal Views:** Stunning lookouts over the Baily Lighthouse and the cliffs. * **Silent Time: 15-25 minutes of silent time at the stunning viewpoint** * **Genuine Connection:** A chance to meet like-minded people who also want to spend less time on their screens. * **Optional Social:** We’ll finish back in Howth village for an optional coffee or ice cream! 🍦 🕰️ The Schedule: * **11:00 – 11:15 \|** Meet at Howth DART Station. * **11:15 – 14:00 \|** The Loop: Connection with others & nature. * **14:00 \|** Arrival back & soft goodbyes (or optional social). **Dedicated Silent Time at one of the viewpoints!** 🐥 What to bring: * **👟 Comfortable Shoes:** You'll need decent grip for the cliff paths! * **🌦️ Layers & Rain Gear:** It’s Ireland in April—let’s be prepared for the sea breeze! * **💧 Water & Snacks:** Stay hydrated as we hike. * **💛 Yourself:** Just as you are. No "content" needed, just your presence. * **🦮 Pets:** More than welcome! (Just remember the lead and bags 💩). 🎟️ Tickets & Support: This walk is **donation-based**. We believe offline time should be accessible to everyone. If you’d like to support our mission and help us organise more of these events, any contribution is warmly welcomed! 💛 Love the vibe but want something more cosy? Check out our private Reading Parties and hangouts here: [https://www.meetup.com/the-offline-club-dublin/](https://www.meetup.com/the-offline-club-dublin/) We can’t wait to see you there! **Hugs, Maja & Lexie** 🦄🦆

We're hosting another in-person writing session in the Old Town Café once more. What is a write-together? It's a couple of focused writing sprints (30 mins each) with breaks in between for for snacks and chats. It's a chance to get some writing done *and* to meet other writers. All are welcome, old hands and newbies alike, and you can write whatever you like. To find us, seek out the people with laptops and notebooks (and I'll have a table sign if I remember to pack it!)

Join us for a swim on Sunday morning. Always guaranteed to leave you feeling better! We're not lifeguards so take care to know your limits in cold water. We'll go to a cafe then to warm up and have the chats.

This Sunday we'll head to see Rose of Nevada in the Lighthouse, we'll meet from 11:15 in the Lighthouse cafe and head to the 12:15 screening. Make sure to book your tickets in advance! See you there. Ann. **Rose of Nevada** (114 min) **Director:**Mark Jenkin **Starring:**George MacKay, Francis Magee, Callum Turner, Mary Woodvine, Edward Rowe, Rosalind Eleazar **Synopsis** A Cornish modern classic. Eerie, heart-breaking, wonderful.’ — Mark Kermode When a fishing boat, the Rose of Nevada, lost with all hands 30 years ago, mysteriously reappears in the old harbour of a forgotten Cornish village, for those who remember, it’s surely a sign. The boat must go out to sea again and maybe then the luck of the devastated village will turn. Young father Nick (George MacKay) and enigmatic newcomer Liam (Callum Turner) join captain Murgey (Francis Magee), and they head to sea. But when they return, satisfied with their haul, something is amiss — they’ve slipped back in time, and the villagers greet them as if they are the original crew. Rose of Nevada is Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin’s hotly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to his BAFTA-award-winning first feature Bait (2019) and Enys Men (2022). Unique among British feature filmmakers for the analogue way in which he crafts his films, Jenkin once again serves as writer, director, director of photography, editor, sound designer and score composer.

Hi all, Our *‘before’* Triology concludes on **Sunday April 26th at 3.30pm** with the screening of **Before Midnight.** Finally a couple, and now parents, the older and wiser Céline and Jesse face the reality away from the romance while on holiday. Living in France, he misses his son in Chicago, while she is struggling with her career. Recognising the stresses of their relationship, the two consider their past and future, and do so together, the conversation that began in Vienna still and always continuing. This is a fitting close (for now?) to one of cinema’s finest portrayals of a relationship. Screening is taking place in screen 1 and early booking is advised. I’ll be in the foyer from 3.00pm with my purple baseball hat. See you all there, Martin
