Monthly Makerfur Meet
Monthly Makerfur Meet
Are you a beginner fursuit maker who wants to learn the craft? Are you into electronics and want to figure out how to make your LED strips emit custom patterns? Or maybe you want to talk on the radio with your fluffy friends? No matter how big or small, fluffy or simple the project is, bring it in to us for a social, fluffy event for all cats, dogs, wolves, foxes, and even protogens or any other species known. All you need to take part is an idea that you want to bring to life. The furry maker night will run every first week of the month. This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers. While you can bring your fursuit in, either to work on it as a project or for repairs, it is heavily discouraged to wear them inside the space. Accessories such as tails are also discouraged for safety reasons. We are looking forward to seeing every fur in our space.

[EVENT FULLY BOOKED!] Walk: Enniskerry (Same route as Sunday 26 July)
NOTE: this walk and the walks on Sunday 26 July are the exact same. I am just adding this extra option to give people the opportunity to join on a Saturday instead of the Sunday. This event is free though donations (cash or Revolut) are very much welcome as I renew my organiser subscription annually in the Summer and I prefer to cover this cost of $215 (they invoice us in dollars) through optional donations in the Summer instead of having a set fee per event. Thanks! This is a loop walk. We start and finish at Poppies, Enniskerry. Hello! 🙂 Meeting time: 1120am onwards. Departure time: 1150am sharp - please don't be late. Route: 5.5km. Expected time: 1hr 20mins. Disclaimer: Attending this event and every event in this group is entirely in every possible way at your own risk. Any questions, message me. The walk will be cancelled if there is a yellow orange or red weather warning for Dublin or Wicklow for that day. Please please don't cancel on the day or forget to join us. Being a no show could result in you being removed from the group so please tell me if you're not joining us! Thanks! Alan

Sunday boardgame meetup
Sunday boardgame meetup
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.

Let’s play… The Wildsea / The (Orc) Pope Is Dead
Let’s play… The Wildsea / The (Orc) Pope Is Dead
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 - you will choose which game you play on the day. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination. This week's facilitators: * **Colin** will run The Wildsea: Centuries ago, the old world was swallowed by a sea of mile-high trees. Now you and your crew sail across the treetops of the Wildsea in a shop driven by a chainsaw. Low magic, high weird, leaf-punk adventures await! Your crew has heard rumors of same rare materials revealed by a recent storm and you are off to explore! * **Silvia** will run The (Orc) Pope Is Dead, yet another silly adventure by Grant Howitt. Terrible news: you and the lads went out drinking with the Pope last night and now he’s dead. The orcish church of Bog-Al-Kurruk is without a leader. Can you and your mates - esteemed clerics all - work out which one of you it’s going to be, and then outdo or discredit your rivals to claim the most prestigious title in the orc nation? *** Details for the event (number of groups and games) will be published here or earlier on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin). Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on Discord).

IxDA Chat n Pancakes
You can sleep in on the Semiquincentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
