Another week and more events!

Hi all!
A huge thanks to everyone who clicked on L,C or S on Facebook last week. We managed to “beat” Facebook at their own game once again and treble the “reach” from the previous week! Hurray!
|
|
But every post is a new challenge, so if you can, please do the same as last week and in a few weeks we will have brought the reach up again to a decent number. ;-)
|
|
|
|
Talking about “reach”: If you have a company and you want to reach the great community of Dublin Event Guide readers, you can contact me for advertisement options. And if you organise non-free events, you can also contact me about advertisement. Free events will be added to the “Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)” for free, so no need to discuss advertisement options.
|
 |
|
The advertisement that you see in the Dublin Event Guide is of the sort where only if you click on it and then buy from the advertiser, the Dublin Event Guide will get a tiny bit of money. So it is not very efficient at all AND it is mainly for larger companies. I would love to offer smaller, local company a very inexpensive advertisement option. So if you are looking to advertise OR if you know someone who needs advertisement, get them to contact me.
|
|
And just in case you wonder: All money from donations and from advertisement will be used to cover the cost of sending and maintaining the Dublin Event Guide. Nothing will go into my pocket.
|
 |
|
|
A huge problem, though, are ad blockers! Ad blockers will kill free magazines, newspapers and newsletters. If readers don’t click on ads and buy through these ads, then the creators will not get enough money and the free offers will eventually come to an end. :-( So (controversial opinion warning!) my “wish for a better world” would include the abolishment of ad blockers.
|
|
|
|
By the way, I will be live on the “Good Morning Dublin” radio show with Mairéad Hughes on 103.2 Dublin City FM on Monday morning at 10:45. Wish me luck! ;-) You can listen on your radio or on www.dublincityfm.ie

Donations in February:
EUR 207
|
|
(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)
|
|
|
If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.
|
|
The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.
|
|
|
|
Last week the wonderful people that helped with a donation were Keith, Anne, Grainne, Ruth, Tony, Carmel, Cormac, Joaquin! Thank you very much! You are appreciated and your donations are as well!
|
|
With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses. The first of those bonuses is described above.
|
|
Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 3. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.
|
|
To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)
|
|
In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)
|
|
To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
|
 |
|
And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?
Thank you!!

Or NLP or some Business related “soft skills”? Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!

+++ The Treaty 1921: Records from the Archives – Exhibition
From 07 Dec to 27 March the Coach House in the gardens of Dublin Castle will be the home of a National Archives exhibition about “The Treaty 1921: Records from the Archives”. The Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 is the centre piece of the exhibition. Find out more here www.dublincastle.ie/2022_centenary/ Admission is free, but you need to book via www.nationalarchives.ie/2021commemorationprogramme/book-tickets/
|
|
+++ National Gallery tickets available here
The National Gallery is usually free anyway, but in current times you will have to book tickets to get access and you have to enter the building on the Merrion Street side. Tickets are available here: www.nationalgallery.ie/visit-us/book-your-ticket The National Gallery also is running events again and because the events have limited number of spaces, they can book out relatively fast, at least before I can write about the events, so check out the events 1-2 weeks in advance here www.nationalgallery.ie/whats-on and then book tickets for them.

And this is it for another week! Have a great weekend and good new week.
Take care,
