Hi all!

ANOTHER weekend with storm warnings! And the Corona virus is also coming closer and closer. :-O Luckily we are all pretty positive and optimistic people, right!? Otherwise you could get tempted to worry about the future. But I have it from a very reliable source: IT WILL GET BETTER! Guaranteed! :-) And in the meantime: Keep Calm and Enjoy the Free Events!

 

 

Our competitions from last week were super popular, but there are another few days to enter if you haven’t done so yet:
You might remember that for the first competition you can get additional competition entries when you tell your friends and you all might remember from last week, that this event means a lot to me because I am deeply involved. If you can spread the word about our gig I would love that and if you would buy tickets and come to it, that would be even cooler. :-)

+ Gardiner Street Gospel Choir: 20th Anniversary Concert on 08 March in the Button Factory (19:30-22:00). You can buy tickets via this link gturl.eu/GospelConcert (EUR 20/15+fees).
The 35 people strong Gospel Choir plus 6 piece band will perform a great variety of Gospel songs and current songs with an inspirational and motivational message, and Ronan O Snodaigh from Kila will join the evening as a guest. It will be a great gig! ;-)
I have two pairs of tickets for a competition and to take part you just have to go to gturl.eu/GospelCompetition and all is explained there. Enter before midnight on 03 March.

The second competition is for an International Women’s Day event:
+ “Powerdela – Here’s to strong women” is an event with networking reception, finger food, music and inspiring speakers on Sun 08 March 15:00-21:00. It will take place in The Loft @ 4 Dame Lane, 4 Dame Lane, Dublin 2 and all details are here www.eventbrite.ie/e/92375793485 Tickets are EUR 20+fees. The great organisers from the Brazilian Professional Network Ireland have made 5 tickets available for Dublin Event Guide readers. To enter send an e-mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with your name and phone number and with POWERDELA in the subject line of the mail. Your mail has to be with me by 03 March 19:00

And here is the weekly and very important reminder that the Dublin Event Guide needs your help week after week. And since you can help without having to pay a cent, I always hope that many of you are happy to support me.

And this is how easy it is:
Just go to www.DublinEventGuide.com and at the top you will find the sentence “Is this what you were looking for?”. Right below that sentence you should find a rectangular ad. Please click on it!
The ad might change every time you open/refresh the page, so I can’t tell you what it is promoting. If you don’t see an ad there, please turn your Ad Blocker off and refresh the page and then do the clicking. ;-) Thanks, it REALLY helps!

If you click on the ad, I get between 5 and 20 cent. That is not much, but if enough people help, it will do the job to cover the cost to keep the Dublin Event Guide going.

And here are three other ways to help if they work better for you, they are not free, but help even more:
First: You can donate directly via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide (any amount is appreciated!!)
Second: You can “Buy Me a Coffee” here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
Third: For the Revolut people among you it is super easy via 0872931571.

And here are the events: All events are sorted by start time, but watch out for the few events that have a “++” in front of them, the are particularly recommended. ;-) ALL events in this list are free, but some require booking! The market events that take place every week are only posted to people that have subscribed and on the website at www.dublineventguide.com
