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.

Pity we had to cancel Sat 1st in Blackrock due to torrential rain. Looking forward to Balbriggan next Sat. I have rearranged the Blackrock outing for Saturday 15th October. Meeting in Ouzos Restaurant Main street opposite Bank of Ireland at 11.30am and painting until 3o'clock. Returning to Ouzos where the prop Padraig is kindly providing complimentary finger food for all artists. Parking is in Public car park daily fee €5. or shopping centres €1.00 per hour.

Round 9am I sent a message thru this website to Gerard in Blackrock who's organising today, Sat 1/10's Paint-Out suggesting (I think its his call) a postponement due to rain; my usual motto is "hail, rain or snow" but on reflection that is based on the rain we typically have - which usually abates after an hour or two: today's seems unusually persistent. A late postponement would be better than a wash out, given we've a restaurant tie-in. I'll keep an eye on weather from across bay in Clontarf (where there's a life drawing class 11-1) and nip over only if the weather clears. I've inquired with site admin and I think we should post general arrangements at the head of this web-page - including that attendees check webpage on morning of a Paint-Out in case of any late change of plans. All the best, JOHN O FLYNN, D13

Comment by john o'flynn on September 25, 2011 at 23:16: Gerard, Thanks for organising all of this - esp the Ouzo's tie in - looking forward to it especially (aren't we meant to be having a heat-wave mid-week - if so, I hope it lasts till Sat 1/10!) - John O F

Comment by Mary Cawley on September 25, 2011 at 17:39: Hi Gerard, thanks for your encouragement but unfortunately I've got to work next Sat and will miss the paint out. I'm disappointed but look forward to seeing what the rest of you get up to and I'll be ready for the Oct day. Enjoy your day!
