    The Boards 2014 Photobook launch has been set for the 5th September at 7.30pm. We will have to Skype in Cabansail who unfortunately is now in the middle of his return journey to Australia.

    It promises to be a great event and we look forward to seeing you there!

    There will be a Photowalk on the day of the launch - so if you're traveling to Dublin for the event keep that in mind, it will start at 11am. A separate thread will be posted closer to the time with the details and the route.

    Can you make it? 23 votes

    I'll be at the launch but can't do the Photowalk!

    I'll be at the launch but the photowalk is a little early for me to get in from Westmeath so I'm not sure about that one yet.

    You can always join us later.. that's not a problem. We'll be strolling along a route, with lunch along the way. See how your day plans out sure!

    Hopefully my wife will attend instead.

    Can't believe it's this weekend!!!

    We are very lucky to have a presentation on the night from one of our own posters, Art Deko who has had a fantastic year so far. I think you will all be very familiar with his work and it promises to be a great start to the night. No pressure Greg! :)

    Earlier in the day there will be a Photowalk, starting at 11am. We are just finalising the route and open to any suggestions (if there is somewhere in particular you would like to visit, then get in touch asap).


  • Registered Users Posts: 483 ✭✭picaaf


    Thanks for reminder!

    Must be more than the Poll shows going?


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I'll be at the evening! (Cant make the walk I'm afraid :( )

    Tom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭Tiriel


    Just in case - the launch will be in the Boards.ie offices this year - don't turn up at DCC!! :)

    Added a bit of bling to the subject line... will unsticky it to let it float for a little while now (and then sticky it again in a couple of hours).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,756 ✭✭✭flyingsnail


    Sweet, cant wait till mine comes in the post :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,983 ✭✭✭mystic86


    The poll is private, can't see who said yes and no :(

    Wish we had a much better idea of who was going, I wonder is there a way of getting poll to vote, lol

    Also, I want to vote but can we have another option that says definitely going to the book launch but not sure yet about the photowalk..? Please and thanks :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭Tiriel


    It's weird I can't change it either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭Tiriel


    Not long to go now! A few have emailed to say they're looking forward to the launch, it'd be nice to get an idea of numbers though so please vote or post if you are/aren't coming!

    Ah go on! I want to try out that trick you had last time of zooming in/out as you were taking the shot, that was you wasn't it?! I guess I'll have to wait until dark for that though most likely :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    Unfortunately I cant make it either. I am sorry if this question is answered elsewhere but what is the best way to get our copy of the book if we cant make it on Saturday.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 9,047 CMod ✭✭✭✭CabanSail


    Did you pay for delivery?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭Tiriel


    It can be collected from Boards.ie :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭Tiriel


    On a side note, we would love to raise as much as we can for the Santa Strike Force as part of this book launch.

    If anyone can sponsor a prize (or your company/etc. - be it a voucher, photo print, anything at all!) please get in touch. All help appreciated.

    Anyway to pay for delivery now? As it looks like I won't be able to make it this weekend either :(

    I'm not sure how that will work because books etc. are in boards.ie

    We'll see how many people need to do this after the launch and work it out somehow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    Thanks guys. I didnt pay for delivery as I expected to make it to the launch. Will drop into HQ next week.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭secman


    As it happens I paid for postage and 2 copies, i am away this weekend so can't make it. I take it I will get them in the post next week. Best of luck on the night and the photo walk. Looking forward to seeing the book.
    A big , big "thank you" to everyone who put such an effort in to putting this together and hopefully you have a lovely day tomorrow.

    Yep that is the plan! Looking forward to it now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,018 ✭✭✭✭adox


    I should be there tomorrow night. I think I paid for postage of the book originally so if I can pick it up tomorrow evening you can add the €8 postage to the kitty, if thats not too messy.

    Thanks adox, I don't have the money as it was paid directly to boards.ie this year so it would be pretty messy trying to figure out refunds! We'll put it to the Santa Strike Force charity if that's ok.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 9,047 CMod ✭✭✭✭CabanSail


    I need to arrange how to Skype into the event tonight

    Time for a drink :-)
    See you all shortly!


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Caban Sail... if someone hasn't already sorted it, PM me your skype and we'll hook up in some way!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,428 ✭✭✭MysticalRain


    Where exactly is the Boards office on South William Street?


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Walking towards Break for the Border its on your right. It looks like this:

    https://www.google.ie/maps/@53.3413668,-6.2631043,3a,75y,297.2h,75.25t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1skwQ4aMOzlw1yWUwI6X28oA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1

    It is a red-brick old (slightly grungy!) looking building with a small amount of graffiti near the doorbell. (I'm really selling it aren't I! :) )

    Apologies I didn't get to the launch or to pick up my book. Maybe I can arrange to collect it sometime soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,018 ✭✭✭✭adox


    Very enjoyable evening. Was great to see a few people I had met previously and to put some faces to names I hadn't met before.

    Book looks great. Thanks to all who helped organise it and let's hope there was plenty raised for such a great cause.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 9,047 CMod ✭✭✭✭CabanSail


    Think we should investigate a second print run to raise money for SSF.

    I know the image quality is superb and if the printing matches then it should sell at €20 a copy.

    Was great to be sort of there courtesy of Skype. It meant getting up before sparrow's f@rt to be ready.

    Me and Dani picked up your book for you. So its now at least in your locale.

    We'll send the ransom note at a later date... :)

    Hey all,

    Sorry for slight delay in posting, I had such a good night - I hope you did too!

    First of all I need to say a huge thank you to those who sponsored raffle prizes -

    Complete Fitness (Pembroke St.) kindly donated 5 classes to the value of €85 which was won by none other than DeVore himself. We look forward to an update Tom! Thank you Dylan and everyone in Complete Fitness, the prize is much appreciated.

    As we wandered on our Photowalk on Saturday we found ourselves in the Bumbleance talking to a really nice guy - shout out to Matt. As it turned out, Matt is also in the National Ambulance Service Pipes and Drums band who have recently published a wonderful book themselves to raise funds for the Pipe Band. He kindly arranged for a colleague to go out to Swords and pick up a copy of the book so that we could have it in our raffle! The book is a pictorial history of the Ambulance Vehicles of Ireland and was won on the night by Obrano's +1.
    The book is on sale now and can be bought by contacting the NAS band through their facebook page linked above - for anyone with an interest in history and vehicles etc. it's a great publication and well worth supporting.

    A copy of David Gibson's Street Photography book was donated by our own Eyeblinks and was won by mystic86 - whom I'm sure will really enjoy it. Thank you Tommie!

    The other prizes on the night included whiskey, beer and chocolates and went to various members - with all proceeds going into the Santa Strike Force collection pot. Thank you all for buying raffle tickets and supporting the cause!!

    I have to say thank you to Dav for all of his work in setting up for the night, buying the wine, arranging the launch and everything else he has been doing behind the scenes.

    This year's book was printed by Lettertec Ireland who are the guys behind Self Publish Books. Thank you to Andrew in particular who took on board our design and have delivered exactly what we wanted. It's great to have been able to have the books printed in Ireland with such great service.

    Thank you to Ceacg for arranging the Photowalk, we definitely earned that dinner with the miles we put in! We were really lucky with the weather and the locations provided lots of opportunities with the Emergency Services event in Trinity and a fundraiser fairy party with storm troopers in the grounds of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Thanks Emily!

    Thank you to Cabansail for mastering the software and doing the design, you took it on not having used it before and fair play you nailed it :)

    Thank you to Art_Deko who gave a super presentation on the night, catering to all of our interests :) It was brilliant to have you speak and I know that the feedback I heard was that people were really impressed and appreciated all the work you put in. Thanks Greg :)

    Lastly thank you to everyone who submitted a photo and bought copies of the book. If you would like to buy a copy, send either a PM or an email (boardsbook at gmail .com) and we can look into doing a bulk order depending on the numbers etc. At €20 a copy it is a bargain and the photos this year are fantastic.

    Until the next book.. :)
