These rules are to ensure we have enough space, to ensure our costs are covered and to not take up space in a venue that we don't need so we can keep going back! Any questions, let me know! For some reason, there seems to be a slight delay from when people pay and it showing them attending. Don’t pay twice! (Of course I’ll refund if ya do) It should come through but if you have any problems just send me a message. Lastly, if you haven't been to the book club before but you're considering coming along, do it! It's not too late to join, **new members are always welcome.** See you there

**📚 Literary Meetup: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig · Come As You Are** We're holding space to explore and discuss Matt Haig's The Midnight Library in a friendly low-key environment, and the whole evening is centred around the book and each other. Discussion flows wherever the group takes it — with every reader given room to share what mattered to them, and even familiar readers find new angles in a good group discussion. Come having read whatever you managed, and bring whatever part of the book you want to talk about, and bring your interpretations — since genuine impressions beat polished opinions every time. This is an open group and new faces are always a good thing — and the group tends to make first-timers feel at ease very quickly, bring your reactions and leave the rest to the discussion, and the discussion gets richer with every new reader who joins. --- **Worth having on hand:** - An open mind and a willingness to debate - A list of moments or lines you want to discuss - A copy of The Midnight Library to reference during discussion **What happens:** 1. Arrive, grab a seat, and introduce yourself if you are new — no icebreakers, just conversation 2. The group digs into the book and the conversation goes wherever it leads 3. The session wraps with a quick note on next month's book 💡 **Helpful hint:** jot down one question you are genuinely curious about, so you have something concrete to anchor your contribution, and the rest of the conversation will take care of itself. --- 🎭 The conversation is always worth the read — join the session and bring your honest take and the conversation is always worth showing up for. See you at the session. 🎭

It's been said that knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is knowing **not** to put it in a fruit salad. How do we reckon the difference between knowledge and wisdom? Is it possible to have one without the other, or does one depend upon the other? Does wisdom always arrive with age? Is more and more knowledge of any value in our post-information culture? Consider these and other questions at Socrates Cafe in Dun Laoghaire; buy a drink at the bar and add your voice, your point of view, to this important conversation.

Meditation and relaxation practice for beginners and advanced practitioners to facilitate deep relaxation and inner peace.

We'll meet here, get maps, and head out to find a set of controls around the area. At each control, take a photo so we know you made it, then post your best shots to the group afterward. Expect light running, quick thinking, and a fun outdoor challenge. Wear comfortable shoes, bring your phone, and be ready to explore.
