og Hackerspace is teaming up with **Queer Shed Dublin Central** for a special evening of amateur radio, Morse code, hands-on demos, and community connection. **Pride Over the Waves: Amateur Radio Night** will take place in Tog Hackerspace on **Monday, 22 June 2026, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm**. The event is free, but places are limited, so please book a ticket on Eventbrite: [https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/pride-over-the-waves-amateur-radio-night-tickets-1991936225873](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/pride-over-the-waves-amateur-radio-night-tickets-1991936225873) Queer Shed Dublin Central is a grassroots queer skill-sharing community connecting through DIY, repair, and regeneration. We are delighted to welcome them to Tog for this joint event.  The night is linked to **Pride Over the Waves**, a grassroots amateur radio initiative created by LGBTQI+ amateur radio operators and allies to help make LGBTQI+, queer, and diverse radio amateurs more visible in the wider amateur radio community. For the evening, we will be activating the special event callsign **EI0LGBT**. ## What will happen on the night? From **7:00 pm to 8:00 pm**, we will have an informal introduction to amateur radio, with live demos and hands-on activities. There will be a chance to see radio equipment in action, learn what callsigns are, hear how radio contacts are made, and try out some Morse code. The Morse code part will be very beginner-friendly. You do not need to know anything before coming along. It is just a chance to have a go, send a few letters, and discover why this old form of communication is still loved by radio amateurs today. From **8:00 pm to 9:00 pm**, we will call into the **South Dublin Radio Club net** using the **EI0LGBT** callsign. A radio net is a regular on-air gathering where radio operators check in, say hello, and share updates. There may be a chance for visitors to say hello over the radio with support from licensed operators, subject to the usual radio rules on the night.  ## Who is it for? This event is open to everyone. You do not need a radio licence to attend. You do not need to be technical. You do not need to know Morse code. You just need to be curious. Whether you are part of Queer Shed Dublin Central, a Tog member, a radio amateur, a maker, a friend, an ally, or someone who has never touched a radio before, you are very welcome. ## Event details **Date:** Monday, 22 June 2026 **Time:** 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm **Venue:** Tog Hackerspace **Tickets:** Free via Eventbrite **Special event callsign:** EI0LGBT Book your free ticket here: [https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/pride-over-the-waves-amateur-radio-night-tickets-1991936225873](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/pride-over-the-waves-amateur-radio-night-tickets-1991936225873)  You can find Queer Shed Dublin Central on Instagram at: [https://www.instagram.com/queersheddublincentral/](https://www.instagram.com/queersheddublincentral/) Come along, tune in, and help us put **EI0LGBT** on the air.

Hi all, lets meet at 12h to play Beach Volleyball in BullIsland, near the car park on the "Statue of Our Lady, Star Of The Sea" side of BullIsland. From Clontarf Rd cross over "The Wooden Bridge" and keep going on until the end, turn left when you see the beach car park and keep going to the left. We will set the nets beside the car park 😉 Please avoid to park at the beach because the car can get stuck on the sand. If you come by car park as soon as you find space and then walk. The idea is to have lunch at the beach and play beach volleyball. Please bring water, sun glasses (for the sand more than the sun) and sun cream (even when it's cloudy you can still get burned with the wind). I would love to create another lovely healthy group to have fun with and enjoy the weather whenever it's possible. All levels are welcome because the goal is to have fun and do some exercise. Any questions please contact me over the phone: 0876819433, or put a comment on this Meetup. Please bear in mind that on the same day of the event it'll be driving so give me a phone call if you are lost.

With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Open Shelter has teamed up again with Red White and Boom! Friday, July 3rd & we are looking for volunteers to run the event’s alcohol booths. Proceeds from sales go to the Open Shelter’s organization. There are two available shifts: 12-6p & 5-11p. There will be an ipad-like device to process transactions in addition to cash. Everything will be in bottles or cans, so transactions should be very easy. Must be 21+. There are multiple beverage stations along the Civic Center Bridge. The stations are covered and also have beverage trucks next to them, so volunteers can cool off in the trucks. As far as parking, it is suggested those who are coming from the east use the Columbus Commons Garage, and those from the west use the Belle Street Garage. Harry from the Open Shelter will be your contact.
