After missing April and moving May to Naas we'll pick up the monthly meetings again in June. Because of the Kildare County Show on the 18th the June meeting will be on the fourth Saturday, the 24th.
It looks like Nealons is not closing after all so we'll keep meeting in Capel street.
Brick.ie will once again exhibit at the Kildare County Show in Athy.
Brick.ie will be sending a team to Limerick for this event
The easter weekend will see the closure of a great Dublin pub with over 100 years history. Jack Nealon's on Capel street is not just any pub, it's where we have held our monthly brick.ie meetings for the past 6 years. The interior has changed little since it first opened and according to experts the ceiling is one of the finest examples of ornate plasterwork in Dublin.
Unfortunately Nama has sold the load on the property to American vulture fun Oaktree who have now decided that they want to change function of the building to something other than a public house. So because some suits in a boardroom somewhere in America looked at a spreadsheet and decided they need some more profit we are losing a fine pub in Dublin.
While it's probably too little too late please sign this petition.
Come see our display at the North County Down Model Railway Show which will be held at Bangor Grammar School in Bangor. We are looking forward to the weekend and to meeting all the rail enthusiasts in the area. There will be lots to see and not just for train enthusiasts!
The show will be open 10am to 5pm on Saturday 22nd and 12pm to 5pm on Sunday 23rd April.

The March meeting is scheduled for 25 March, one week later than normal due to the St Patrick's Day dates and an England/Ireland rugby game on 18 March.
The February meeting is scheduled for 18 February in Nealons, Capel Street
The brick.ie annual display has been scheduled for Friday 19th and Saturday 20th May 2017.
This is one of our flagship displays and it is brick.ie exhibitors only in the mezzanine level of Naas Library. This year the provisional plan is to set-up on the Friday morning with opening after lunch, i.e. the school tour element has been dropped and Thursday set-up is thus not required.
