TOG March (St Patrick’s Weekend) Open Social


Our regular Open Social for March will take place on Saturday, 16th March from 7PM, right in the middle of St Patrick’s weekend. Come in and look around. If you’ve never been to our Social, you’ll find it a great alternative Saturday evening in town. If you’ve never been in before, we’ll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things you’d like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Weather and volunteer permitting, we might have our wood fired pizza oven going outside. Expect caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning.

Note that our Kino Spraoi film making festival will also be taking place in TOG that weekend. If you have an interest in film-making or are a writer, director, actor, producer, DOP, sound recordist, animator, editor, makeup artist, SFX artist, composer, prop maker, costumier, 1st AD or would just like to get involved then this is the event for you.

Our Open Socials are always free to attend for both members and visitors alike. No need to book…. just turn up. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets! Our doors will be open from 19:00. Hope to see you there.

Electronic “Build-It” Workshop

Once again, we’re running our electronic “Build-It” workshop in TOG on Saturday 15th December from 16:00 – 18:30. Many visitors to TOG tell us that they would like to get started with electronics, soldering or assembly, but they are unsure how to do so. This workshop will help. You get to build (and keep) an electronic kit. The kit that we have chosen is a line-follower robot car. It will follow a black line or any line where there is reasonable contrast. You can see a video of the kit in action, from our previous workshop here.

 

The kit comes as a complete set of mechanical and electronic parts including a bare circuit board. You do all the electronic assembly and soldering as well as the mechanical assembly. If you’ve never built an electronics kit or soldered before, then this workshop is ideal for you. We’ll show you everything that you need to know. No previous experience at electronics, soldering or kit assembly is needed. We’ll explain the circuit and how it works too. All tools and equipment are provided. The workshop will take up to 3 hours, which is plenty of time. All proceeds from this event go to support TOG. We have 10 places available.

 

Sign up for tickets on eventbrite.  The workshop costs €25 plus booking fee.

 

You might like to stick around afterwards for our regular Open Social evening which is happening on the same day.

 

 

*** You must be 18 years of age or older to take part in this workshop. Please do not book places for children ***
