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.
