Science Fiction Book Club

Tog has a monthly Science Fiction Bookclub. They meet once a month and currently virtually via discord. In the past, we have read books like Hothouse, Nemesis and The Fifth Head of Cerberus to name just a few. The club has had it’s exciting over the years with authors turning up to take about their own book and the strangeness of the members developing a love for lemon flavoured cake.

When it comes to picking a book we have three guiding rules.

  • Must be under 400 pages(±10%)
  • Must not be in a series
  • Must not have a dragon on the cover.

This month they are reading “Blind Lake” by Robert Charles Wilson. All are welcome to join us on Wednesday 7th of October from 7pm .

Covid-19 – Public Events in Tog

All Tog public events are cancelled until the 5th of April.

Tog is continuing to take measures to protect our members and the general public and by following advice from the HSE. The National Public Health Emergency Team has advised that individuals should reduce discretionary social contacts as much as possible.

In light of this advice, we have decided to cancel all open-door public events in the space until the 5th of April. These are all group nights and open social.

The space will remain open to our members in a limited capacity. Please do not show up unannounced as a visitor.

We are exploring options to move some events online and we will be putting together resources on social media to share some hacking and making skills while the public events are curtailed.

It will be a challenging time for our community and society at large. We are open to hearing ideas (email info@tog.ie ) from you on making the most of the current situation and keeping our community strong.

We send our best wishes to the medical staff who are dealing with this crisis and we encourage everyone to follow HSE advice.
