    Between Thursday September 4th and Sunday September 7th Waterford is the host for Terra Madre Ireland, an all-island Food Conference. From a public point of view the highlights will be: An open air Slow Food Feast in the grounds of the WIT in College St from 7pm to 11pm on Friday September 5th. This will feature 9 different food courses, all using local produce, mobile bars and music by Blackwater. It's hoped up to 1100 people will attend and the event is being run 'not for profit'. Tickets cost €50 and are available from The Book Centre and Ardkeen Stores.

    In addition there are also cookery demonstrations at the main WIT campus from Thursday to Saturday featuring people like Neven McGuire, Richard Corrigan, Darina Allen. These cost €15.00 for a one hour demo. On Sunday there is an All Ireland Farmers Market with about 90 stalls. It's hoped to have a giant screen in John Roberts Square to show the match as well.

    More details on all the events and the full programme can be had from www.terramadreireland.com

    Shameless Plug #2

    Starting Wed 24th Sept and running the last Wednesday of each month upstairs in Phil Grimes, Johnstown from 8pm

    SQUARE - a night in, out.

    Scrabble, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and other classic board games.

    An evening of old-fashioned fun with full bar (and tea and biscuits for those so inclined) We're hoping for a mixed crowd covering all ages - everyone welcome (18-80+)) come as part of a group or on your own. We'll be grouping people for some games so it's a great chance to meet new people.

    Word of the Week Competitions and spot prizes on the night.
    Free in - please support!
    Remember - it's hip to be Square. ;-)

    Blurb aside - I've been wanting to run a night like this for ages - I'm a big scrabble nerd and was thinking with so many people playing on Facebook and the like there must be a market.
    If people are in to it we'll run more often than once a month but we'll start at that.
    If anyone is interested in helping out (Scrabble Referees etc) or has any extra old games lying around in the attic you can PM me.

    Thank you!

    i would have preferred to see him somewhere else to be honest...although I'd doubt electric avenue would have him. haha

    Not really a fan of Oxygen tbh, but hey....coolio!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 314 ✭✭Elle Victorine


    I thought he was dead! Can't believe he's doing a gig in Waterford. That's just hilarious!

    he's been playing in Limerick regularly over the last few years, well by that I mean he's been there twice in the last 4 years. one night was going to go to the particular club he was in, then found out admission was 15euro because he was playing the gig so we all decided not to go there :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    wouldn't pay 15 euro for him now
