Couches, coffee tables, shelves, book cases, rugs, and fun accessories have been bought! Alas, it’s time to work with the lovely furniture that we have so that you can now make your space nice and cosy. For the next two Saturdays we will be making the space that much cosier by adding some finishing touches. Hopefully you can join us! And….if interior design isn’t really your thing, not to worry, you can have a cuppa tea and relax on the comfy couch. :)
Here at shOUT!, we aim to make sure that we’re doing activities that you, the young people in the group choose. That’s why we need to have these lovely planning days, where you can input what you want to do at the group each Saturday. I believe that’s the beauty of this group. Everyone comes from different places, different backgrounds, different interests, and different abilities. That’s what makes this group so cool!
The group have been involved in a wide range of activities, such as: horse back riding, art workshops (ceramics, graffiti, recycling art, watercolour, decorating picture frames…to name a few), poi, capoeria, yoga, wall climbing, pot luck dinners, picnic on the beach, samba drumming, games, birthday and Christmas celebrations, Petersburg activity centre, archery, pride celebrations, marriage equality rallies, TENI workshop, sexual health workshops, etc etc. As you can tell, this list can go on and on…..and we hope to make the list longer!
Hope to see you Saturday with lots of new ideas for the Autumn.
Potluck: A potluck is a gathering of people where each person or group of people contributes a dish of food to be shared among the group. Synonyms include: potluck dinner, spread, Jacob’s join[1][2], Jacob’s supper, faith supper, covered dish supper, pitch-in, carry-in, bring-a-plate, smorgasbord. (Wikepedia)
After a very busy month of August, we’re going to wind down and have a lovely Potluck dinner on Saturday. Please, bring a dish of your choice (home made or store bought) to share with the group. It’s a nice way to unwind and chill out with fellow shOUT! friends. Hope you can join us!
“A potluck dinner is very popular, especially for luncheons, or parties, or celebrations. It is a time for people to get together, enjoy meeting new people, or seeing old friends again. Everyone has been told to bring a ‘dish’ and the amount of people who will be there. It is best to bring something that you enjoy eating. In case nothing else looks good, you can always eat what you brought.” (wikihow.com)
We will be working on a small float with AMACH! on Saturday here in the Youth Work Ireland office. We are meeting at 10am, if you’d like to get creative, come join us and throw in your ideas. Lovely cups of tea and coffee will be served! (Because 10am on a Saturday is early!)
Yup, shOUT! is very active this month, between pride parades and wall climbing! We’re going to give it a go anyway. We’re meeting at 3PM (a 1/2 hour earlier than normal) SHARP on Saturday to walk down to the climbing wall. Hope you can join us!
On Tuesday, 10th of August, we’re going to meet again to plan for Galway Pride, and start working on a cardboard birthday cake. Interested? Curious what this is all about?? Join us on Tuesday at 1pm at YWIG. We’d appreciate any suggestions, ideas and help that you can provide.
Yup, that’s us, shOUT! will take part for our first time in Northwest Pride this weekend. That means there’s no Saturday group, as we’ll be marching in Northwest Pride.
Hey All,
We are finally going to be painting the shOUT! space on Tuesday, 3rd August at 11am. Please join us in making your space more comfortable (and less hospital looking…do you agree or do you agree??)!!
Hey all, shOUT! is not meeting this Saturday. Enjoy the bank holiday weekend.
