MUD ISLAND MEMBERS' NIGHT OUT - SPRING QUIZ in Cusacks Pub Tues 25th April 2023!
2023-04-25 19:30 - 23:30 | Dublin
Welcome to any new members who have recently joined!
We missed having our usual PUB QUIZ in December – the World Cup got in the way – so we’re planning to hold a Mud Island QUIZ night in Cusacks, 145 North Strand Road, D3 on Tuesday 25th April, starting promptly at 8 pm. We suggest arriving at 7.30 pm to get your drinks in and think of a good name for your team – the best one might win a spot prize!

This time we’re experimenting with a Smartphone Quiz called SpeedQuizzing – no pens, no paper and no cheating… It means we won’t have to mark answer sheets or add up the scores. Darren who does the Music Bingo on Sunday nights is being sponsored by Cusacks to run it for us, so huge thanks to them!

We have some great prizes for a #raffle – all donated by the stall holders at our recent Spring Fair. We’re only charging €10 per team of 4 people on the night, so you’ll have lots of money to spare for raffle tickets! More prizes are always welcome if you have anything you’d like to donate.

Launch of the Mudisland 'Repair Café'
2023-03-26 14:30 - 17:30 | Dublin
On Sunday 26th of March, from 2:30 to 5:30, join us for our first ever Repair Café. Bring your bike, buggy, clothes, crockery and garden tools to be fixed (hopefully!). You can learn, you can share skills and you will meet a lot of people!

We’ll circulate more details as well as a poster for the Open Day shortly. In the meantime, as always, we’re looking for volunteers to help run the Cottage Cafe which is a great fund-raiser for the garden. We’re also looking for donations of sweet and savoury treats to sell. If you’d like to commit an hour of your time for the fun of working in the cafe, or would like to bake something for it, please let us know.
See some of you in the garden on the 11th June!

It’s that time of year again when thoughts turn to Mud Island’s annual Spring Fair! We’ve been missing it these past two years….
This year the Fair happily coincides with the Five Lamps Arts Festival, so they’ll be curating some musical surprises for you on our Caravan stage. We’ll circulate full details of the fair later this week. If you haven’t paid your 2022 membership yet, we’ll have a membership desk at the fair so you’ll have the opportunity to pay then.
In the meantime if any of you would like to volunteer an hour of your time to help out with the Cafe, let us know? We need 18 volunteers – it helps to have three on at any one time. Also let us know if there’s a particular time between 12 and 6 pm that suits best? This year we hope to operate the cafe from the newly renovated cottage on site, and this year all profits from the cafe will go towards our Ukrainian appeal.
See you at the fair on the 9th April!
