Hello Everyone,
A new season begins. Before announcing the details, I would like to give you an update.
As you all know, the hospitality industry is experiencing tough times. Prices increases are happening frequently. Sitting for a few hours while just having a drink is not possible with many cafes/restaurants and with a large group, a deposit is often required.
The IFI has been our regular meeting place since September 2023 and it’s been a good experience. But, price increases meant that we were looking at €13/€14 per person for the platters. And they wouldn’t provide cutlery/plates. We provided the paper plates the last few socials.
I asked Greg to see what he could do as he has good relationships with a number of cafes/restaurants. And I can announce that we will trial a new venue for our Knit Social. I will ask for feedback/input at this event in terms of going forward.
It is La Caverna in Temple Bar. A lovely Italian restaurant with a wonderful ambiance. They will be providing us with our own room from 1pm-4pm. It will be a sit down brunch at one long table with dining chairs and spacing so we can knit.
It is €17.95 for any main course from the brunch menu. The menu is available to view here:
Please indicate your menu choice when your booking is confirmed.
Purchase your Knit & Stitch Social ticket here.
Hot and cold beverages are available for purchase at the Bar.
There will be some fabulous prizes provided by a number of sponsors which I will be posting in my stories. The Murphy Leaf will cover the service charge.
Full refund if cancellation is by Saturday 31st August 2024.
Looking forward to seeing many of you on Saturday 7th September.
Happily Knitting,
Diane
