    Not that it's really THAT important but I'm just wondering what kind of age group the people that have been heading into this are?

    Age group is very varied - goes from early-mid 20's right up to retirement! I'd say the average age would be in the late 20's/ early 30's. Pretty big cross-section of society, people from all walks of life and different skills/interests!

    This week we are heading for Temple Bar at 1pm, opposite the Quay's pub in the Main Square. All are welcome to come along!

    Hi, I've been reading about you're group and activities and Id be interested in coming along to one of your Sunday meetups to see what its like. I used to run an Arts and Expression society in my old University where we used to offer painting and sketching classes so def curious as to what the group has to offer. Im actually returning from Limerick tomorrow and I dont get in until 1pm. Would it be possible to wait round a few extra minutes till ten past/quarter past 1 and if not would it be possible to catch up with yee where ever you're planning on sketching tomorrow (or are yee staying at the gallery to sketch?)

    Hiya Brian,

    Ya no worries just pop into the gallery when you arrive and you'll see us - we generally wander through the gallery and search for something to sketch for a couple of hours, then meet for coffees (3pm) to show our work and have a chat about it etc.

    You're more than welcome to come along, bring a sketchpad and whatever you like to sketch with and see how you get on!

    Hi , yeah the link is http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=1105&post=3427524, I've just realised something though. The 1st actually a Saturday not a Sunday. Hmmm, ah well, if you dont mind a sketchers meet up on Saturday instead of Sunday I guess its ok. But I guess if you want to stick to Sunday we could always just head out there ourselves if others are up for it.Would be nice for landscapes. Guess its down to what others say.

    We have to keep things straightforward for our members, Sunday's is our thing!! it's an idea though and we haven't gone out to Phoenix park in a while. It is very weather dependant, that's the only thing. Send an email to the sketchers email on the blog and I'll add you as a member - that way you can post on the blog - I'm the only one that checks boards really!

    Either way, should be a good weekends sketching ahead - if I make it - I have Metallica on Sat nite :D

    Never mind sure,ill just leave it as an open air suggestion. If people have other suggestions on Sunday, Im cool with going along with that. Im going to this gathering on sat anyway so it doesnt matter too much. Btw sent a message on for membership of the blogspot. Anyway, enjoy Metallica on saturday.

    Have been doing a bit of life drawing lately. I just found your thread and would like to get involved
    in the new year if your still meeting up. I will have a look
    at the blogspot site in the meantime. If anyone likes to post
    a reply about your activities feel free.

    Thanks
    Pat

    Hi Pat,

    Take a look at the site and maybe send us an email from there - the link is on the right hand side of the page. That way you'll be on the mailing list and will get an email each week letting you know where we're meeting up.

    Thanks for your interest :)

    This week we're having our Christmas get-together aka beeers and mulled wine in the Christmas markets - all are welcome to join us!!
