Dublin is never boring

Good Morning!
|
|
It is weekend! And even better, a bank holiday weekend! For many of us a bank holiday is an extra day off work (although many international Internet-related businesses in Ireland do not automatically give a day off on that day because their customers in other countries are not on a day off). But it also means that event organisers take time off and consequently bank holiday weekends are often a little underwhelming when it comes to events.
|
|
|
|
The list might be a little shorter, but Dublin is never boring! And if you just don’t know what to do, then explore one of the parks that you haven’t been in for a long time. Or stroll through the City Centre with your eyes wide open, looking at and admiring some of the pretty buildings we have.
|
|
Who has actively seen the George’s Street Arcade building? Recently or even ever? Or the “Soapmakers Building”, which is actually called “Sunlight Chambers”, at the corner of Parliament Street and Essex Quay? Or even Customs House? We take them for granted, we know they are there, but we don’t pay a lot of attention.
|
 |
|
I am currently actively looking for sponsors and advertisers to feature in the Dublin Event Guide. If you know someone who might be interested, you can give them my e-mail address (dublineventguide@gmail.com is the simplest). With events getting nearly back to where we were before these lockdown-years sponsors and advertisers will reach a very friendly and supportive audience through the “Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)”.
|
|
Funnily, it occasionally happens that people think that an audience that appreciates free events thinks that everything should be free. They don’t know how much you all spend on other things in life and on other (non-free) events. Appreciating and supporting free cultural events does in no way make use “cheap”. It just makes us culturally more experienced, knowledgeable and sophisticated.

|
|
Donations in August:
EUR 131
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
The great people that donated last week were Tony, Sarah, Luca, Cornelia! Thank you so much! Your donation will keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and will motivate me to continue week after week. I appreciate you and your support!
|
|
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 or now also revolut.me/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!!

Open for visit The Argentinian Navy’s school vessel “ARA Libertad”, which is one of the largest and fastest tall ships in the world will be in Dublin this weekend.

The Libertad has arrived on Friday and will be open for free visits on Saturday (30 July) from 14:00-18:00. No booking required. It is moored just to the East of the East-Link Toll Bridge (Tom Clarke Bridge) on the North Quay Extension, which is across the road from the 3Arena.

+++ Inspiring News – Get on board! ;-)
I am not sure yet, what I will call my new inspirational and motivational newsletter that will get its content from my experience and training as a Life/Success Coach and Business Coach. But nearly 100 of you have now signed up and I will finally get going in the coming week. I am looking forward to provide help, support and ideas.
—
You can still sign up if you are interested. But it also is no problem if “Inspiring News” (the current working title of the newsletter) is not your thing. The Inspiring News will be completely free and sent from my “Inspiring Leadership Academy”. To sign up, simply go to www.getthislink.com/InspiringNews (it will just take 20 seconds!) I have some exciting plans for this new venture!

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? 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 lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99, so definitely do-able. Occasionally it goes even below that and I will mention it here when I find out. Check out the website at shor.by/GqCk And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)
