Clontarf Running Group - Wednesday run
Our midweek training session :-)
Choose from 5km, 7.5km or 10km
📚 Silent Reading & Socialising 🍺
## Details
The title of the event is a paradox! Read in silence and then discuss with like-minded folks! :-)
📝 **How does this work?**
We will meet in the Bartley's Restaurant area from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM for silent reading and followed up by discussion. **During silent reading, you're expected to remain silent and read.** Please bring your headphones and refrain from the discussion during the first one hour in the area.
👥 **Socialising**
After an hour, at 8:15 PM, we'll discuss and socialize about the book you're reading. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!
Feel free to join at any point during the event.
The event is indoors, hopefully, we can continue the tradition of the silent reading in the winter!
**📌 Helpful Tips and Notes**
* Bring headphones to block out surrounding noise
* I will post a comment on the event page when I arrive to indicate where we're seated, so everyone can find us
* If you prefer to skip the silent reading, you can join directly at the bar at 8:15 PM
⚠️**Something Happened?**
If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. It may be small but don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Looking forward to meeting you all 😊

500 MILES @ 6pm - Lighthouse -"Late Late" Breakfast - Friday Night Movie
Hi all,
I hope you're well!
Bill Nighy has been giving interviews about this Ireland-filmed movie over the past weeks, so let’s go to a screening with a Special Introduction in Lighthouse this Friday.
**500 MILES (with Special Introduction) @6pm at the Lighthouse Cinema - Screen 3**
Seating is unallocated
[500 MILES | OFFICIAL TRAILER | BILL NIGHY | ONLY IN CINEMAS](https://youtu.be/M0pP7xKvFJ0?si=HnlsaR-GzabhA76Z)
*“500 MILES is a poetic, life-affirming road movie and celebration of the human spirit that follows a broken family who are forced to come together when two young brothers run away from home.*
*While their fighting parents (Clare Dunne & Michael Socha) tear their hair out with worry, runaways Finn (Roman Griffin Davis) and his live-wire younger brother Charlie (Dexter Sol Ansell) embark on an epic adventure from Yorkshire, over land and sea, to the Wild West coast of Ireland. With the free-spirited busker Cait (Maisie Williams) helping the young boys along the way, their destination is Dingle, County Kerry, and their estranged, beloved Grandfather (BAFTA-award winner Bill Nighy), who their parents haven’t spoken to since the fateful events of the previous summer.”*
**Dinner afterwards:**
I’ll book a table for dinner at Oscars Bar next door after the movie. If you wish to join us for dinner, please post a Comment to be included in the numbers. Numbers are limited.
**Dining:** Note that they do not split bills there so it’s CASH ONLY again for this one, and there’s a 10% service charge on large table bookings.
