Time and location to be posted in advance both on "Plein Eire Dublin" and "Events" pages on this Plein Eire site.

RSVP on 'Events' for notice to be sent to you in the event of any change in plans or check this Plein Eire Dublin Group page on the morning of a paint-out .

Nominate a time and location with reasonable painting prospects.
Identify a local cafe or hostelry for artists to meet in before and after.
Indicate if there is parking available nearby, and if its free or metered.
Post the suggestion to 'Events'and copy and paste the link to the Comment Wall below on this page.

Members may also propose paint-outs at other times as suits them and ask for other members who may be available to join them.

We'll take up Valerie's suggestion for next "First-Sat" (06/07) paint out : Bullock Harbour, in Dalkey, ok! Meet at 11 for 11.30 start. (Glenageary or Dalkey DART). Valerie will host this time as I am away!

Happy painting!- JOHN O F

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on June 26, 2013 at 9:00: What about Bullock Harbour? No café but there are loos.

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on June 19, 2013 at 18:52: I've been back to Festina Lente twice since our Plein Eire day there. They are so lovely and welcoming. Various people tip me off about what horses will be out and which ones will be in the stables. Today someone intervened when he saw me begin to do a study, as the horse I was about to do the study of was going to disappear off and do a bit of work.

This place is only about two miles from where I live, and I'd no idea it was there!

So - A HUGE thanks to Barbara for suggesting it as a venue!!

So anyone who can please bring along an extra folding stool etc and I'll bring some biscuits and we can sit around and have a chat! - best - JOHN O F

Comment by Barbara O'Meara on May 30, 2013 at 10:36: Hi John,

As discussed with you at last Plein Eire meetup you asked me check out Festina Lente. Just to let people know there is no coffee shop but there is Tea and Coffee Machine in a small shop.

Sorry about late notice again, but I felt I had to check with venue first- which delayed me a bit. I've taken up Barbara OMeara's suggestion to go to her neck of the woods to Festina Lente in Bray, an equastrian centre and gardens. Above is a map showing its relation to Bray Dart & M11(J5). www.festinalente.ie/- no smoking in gardens, & bring your rubbish home are only notes from management. Meet c11.00 for 11.30 start? Hope you can make it! - Best - John o Flynn/087 2709097
