This thread will take over from Summer Events and from the old general thread.
Here you can notify others of things; events, happenings, concerts, good restaurants, table quizzes, fundraisers, classes, ...

2 rules

1. You have to have 200 posts or more to post, or >1 years on boards.
2. You cannot profit from posting here.

Old events, too much chat, spam or topics that don't belong will be (re)moved.

What about classes?

In the last three weeks, I've walked three different set of posters around town. One was a community group I'm involved in - no profit for anyone. One was a paid set of classes that someone runs thru a trust - gets paid, but it's a mix of subsidies and lesson fees: Mr Just got paid for putting these around, and I helped him for free 'cos I was taking some GalwayTransport.info poster-ish stuff around. One was a set of classes that a friend is running - this was a favour on my part, and is currently loss-making but hopes to become profit making.

In all three cases, I'd have loved to scan the poster and put it somewhere like this sooo much easier than walking, and I genuinely think it would have been appropriate and useful for some boardsies.

I didn't 'cos boards ain't a poster-board, and all the posters have phone numbers.

Any thoughts on these scenarios?

Sure classes are ok. The thinking behind it is that it will benefit the users here somehow without being just a wall where low count posters will come and just stick up a flyer. Hence the >1year on boards or 200 post count limit, you'll have to be a proven "boardsie".

In the summer thread we said we are still working on the format and this is a second go of that thread where people posted some good stuff and we mods feel there should be a way for people to share that may interest and benefit other boardies.

If you think what you are about to post may be too spammy please PM a mod and check first.
This is a community and we don't want anyone to take advantage and think it's a great way to advertise for free and sell their wares. I know it's a fine line but we'll try to make it work. Also we have opened up for fundraisers now.

Oh, should anyone have more input about how to make this thread a success - feel free to posts here and hopefully together we can come up with the best format.

Yay - we like the word FREE so we do.

Come down to Monroes tomorrow night (Weds) for a very special night with Fling, playing their lively blend of Trad, Bluegrass and rock. The band have been touring extensively the last couple of months taking in Spain, Denmark and the Electric Picnic to name but a few of the gigs they have been doing.

The night kicks off with a concert by music students from Esbjerg, Denmark playing a great variety of music from contemporary danish pop/rock artists such as Tina Dickow and Kashmir to traditional danish folk music and some of their own songs.

And the best part about it........its FREEEEEEEE in!

Help us spread the word. As always, thanks a million folks and see yis very soon!
Doors 8.30
Show starts 9.30
Fling on at 10.30

Looks like an interesting concert on Saturday night if you're in to serious choral music - Cois Cladaigh are one of the best choirs in town:



Share and enjoy ....
