Help!

We need your help! We recently got some news regarding our space which has presented quite a challenge to us. We’re still digesting the news and discussing our options. As you know, we hold our regular Open Social every month. This months Social is on Saturday 19th May from 19:00. Please make a special effort to visit us. We want to tell you more about the challenge facing us. We also want YOU to tell US how we can make TOG more available to you, and to listen to your opinion and suggestions.

If you’ve never been to our Social, you’ll find it a great alternative Saturday evening in town. Come in and look around. 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 permitting, we’ll have our pizza oven going outside, so come and have some pizza on us. Hopefully there’ll be caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning.

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.
