General

The South Dublin branch holds indoor meetings each month from September to May and outdoor events in most months.

Bad Weather Protocol

If a Met Éireann Orange or Red warning is in force at the place where and when a branch outing is due to take place then members should assume the outing is cancelled.

Indoor Events

Our indoor events take place on the first or (very occasionally) second Tuesday of the month.
Unless otherwise stated, they begin at 8pm. Admission to indoor meetings is free, however we would be very grateful for any contribution made towards the cost of the meeting room.
Please note:
Beginning in September 2017 our meetings will be held in the Killiney Function Room of the Graduate Pub. The Graduate is adjacent to Killiney Shopping Centre, more details may be found on the Graduate's website HERE.


Outdoor Events

Outdoor events are available to all and with the exception of trips made by coach, are free of charge. As of 2023, coach outings generally cost about €40.00 per person or €30.00 for those 65 years of age or older and €20.00 for those 18 years of age or younger, however please note that prices are determind by the cost of hiring the coach, which is subject to periodic increases.
When taking part, wear clothing suitable for the time of year and location and although we often take in a visit to shops around lunch time it is wiser not to rely on that completely for food and drinks during the trip.
