Hmm...was hoping to offer my services this weekend but looks like I have to be away Fri and Sat at least.

How is next weekend (ie 18th) fixed? I can do a shift?

Can you do the weekend of 25 April at all?

DarrenG,

would be worth checking they are open. I am sure someone mentioned last weekend that they might not be.

Actually they are not open, John said he is off to the West ... does that mean no coffee? :eek:

GristlyEnd

I'm sure the camera exchange on Sth Great Georges St. will be open. There will be coffee.

Yup. Any time is good. 1-3 probably best to avoid getting keys etc, but if required, no bother.

Valentia

I'm presuming I'm down for the 1-3 this week? Calina the roster I'm seeing only has the 1st week on it.

It's a pity Gunns is closed. That's part of the attraction of the trip up.

Calina

roster is fixed. Didn't realise that the updates weren't publishing.

CabanSail

I will head in tomorrow morning & open up. I have a couple of chores to do there before heading off to Wicklow for an afternoon of violence.

AnimalRights

Some guy a bit drunk came into my shop last night and collected food and blurted out have I work in an exhibition...I said yeah and the fckr walked out without explaining how he knew....

sineadw

I'm gonna try to get in tomorrow. I need a break from the house...

leinsterman

Grand so ... see you there ...

Dodgykeeper

Calina

leinsterman

Danny's new best mate ...

leinsterman

... and finally the people who don't know what's good for them ...

Valentia

Nice guy Tony. We look like twins

Love the collage Leinsterman, just shows, voyeurism works!!!!!!!!!!!

bovril

I'll do the middle slot next weekend (18th) if you need someone.

CabanSail

That would be good.

We need the other two slots filled. Volunteers?

Would love to help but with three young kids its so hard to go missing on a saturday!

sineadw

Honestly can't I'm up to my eyes... Sorry.

Buzz Lightyear

I'm in for the opening at 11 to 1. I picked up the gallery keys from Tony this evening. I hand over to Bovril for the middle slot. Have we one more volunteer for locking up ?

CabanSail

Only a few slots left now

18th April - 3 to 5

25th April - 3 to 5

2nd May - 11 to 1

bovril

@Buzz, can you run through the opening procedure with me on Sat please, I'm down for opening the following Sat. Not sure when I'll get to pick up keys though next week. I'll chat with cabansail about that nearer the time.

Buzz Lightyear

No problems Bovril, it's quite straight forward. Just remind me on saturday as the long term memory can be a bit hazy ;). See you then.

bovril

What is the official procedure if someone with a Brian Cowan shaped photo in a rucksack enters the gallery and tries to sneak it up on the wall and you are on duty??

Inform the Media & milk it for all it's worth!

IF its a painting go down to the green and sell it for a few bob. If its a 'shopped photo, hang it, call the media and Christies and get as much as you can for it.;)

CabanSail

Do we have anyone tomorrow for the 3-5 slot yet?

Fajitas!

Lol, media won't take any more of those up... Just like they didn't report the other paintings that went up in galleries about Dublin...

I will do it if no one else volunteers.

Calina

Hi guys,

I was a bit bored at 20 to 5 yesterday evening so did some counting.

You might be interested to know that 400 people have been through the doors of the exhibition so far.

We only have 2 more weeks on display and then, take down is just after 5 on 2 May.

DotOrg

i've been looking through lots of posts but can't see the opening hours, i've tried to go down several times but it's always been closed. If you advertise the opening hours lots more will go i'm sure

I think it's open 11-5 on Saturdays. Could be wrong though. I must go myself before the exhibition closes.

Calina

The opening hours are Saturday 11 to 5. Mea culpa on this thread but also, the times are in the site wide announcement at the top of every forum.

______________

We need one attendant for Saturday. 3 to 5.

I can't do it myself so please, someone volunteer. We've been very lucky so far in that some people have punched above their weight on attendance duty.

Valentia

Yes. 11-5. Saturdays. 2 weeks left.

4sb

I can do Saturday 3-5 if someone can explain lock-up - I haven't read the entire thread so if it's described above then I'll go and look.

PM me for my phone no.

I popped in yesterday - really impressed with the work on display, well done to everyone involved!

gary82

Set off to check this out yesterday but my bus from Galway, and the next one were fully prebooked! Might have to do some rescheduling to make next weekend...

CabanSail

How did last Saturday go in the Gallery?

Next Saturday is the last day of this Exhibition. It has been a really good experience & I think those who have participated in this exercise can see how a really good print adds so much to an image over what you see on a screen.

Thanks to all those who have done their bit & assisted in getting this from an idea to reality.

bovril

Opening up wasn't that big a deal at all. Pulling the shutter up was the hardest part. I think I got fairly average numbers for the morning stint. Glad I could help out with the duty, it was small compared to what a lot of other people on this project did

Everyone doing a small bits is what made it all happen. Your part was not small at all, as you went to the effort & expense of printing & submitting prints. Then you have looed after the Gallery. It is appreciated.

rahtkennades

The middle stint was grand too. Not a huge number of people through, but that might be just my scary head making them change their mind!
Cabansail, I don't know if anybody else has mentioned it, but it might be worth your while getting some small flyers printed (credit card size) with the details of the DCC (eg when the meetings are, the web link and the gallery opening times). I had a few people ask for details and unfortunately didn't have them to hand.

CabanSail

The pamphlets are on the "to do" list ..... have been for a while now too. We normally direct them to the website www.dublincameraclub.ie for information (we need to put the website on the window too)

Once this Kilmainham Exhibition is opened I must do something about that. Thanks for the reminder.

4sb

Hi,

I did the 3-5 slot. Good number of people in - 20-30, maybe more. Better weather I guess. Good comments, definitely Borderfox and Elven photos were favourites that people commented on.


Kazi/4sb

CabanSail

One more Saturday ..... One slot, the 11 - 1, left to fill. Who will open for the last time?


I have the Gallery Keys with me, but I am away for the weekend so will not be there for the Take Down/Beers.

The Photo's that were not selected, but in storage have now been placed in the Gallery ready for collection. The prints in the frames will need to be removed, the frames reassembled & stacked.

leinsterman

... missed the opening due to Rugby ... will be missing the closing for the same reason ... I'll be in Croker while you are all tearing the place apart ...

Great exhibition ... well done to everyone who participated ...

Can't do the 11-1 session due to my guitar lesson around the corner ... but I can pop by around 12:15 for an hour if it helps ... just in case there is someone out there who can only do the first hour ...

Calina if you want to get that hot shoe spirit level then it will have to be around 12:15 at the gallery ...

Calina

Bah. Lightweights all you rugby fans.

Can someone please look at doing the opening on Saturday for us, please? I will be in for closing and de-hanging and all that but it would help if I didn't have to come in for 11. One last hurrah for someone to see the fun we had for the last 6 weeks.

Also: collecting photographs please people who have photographs to be collected tell me how you plan to collect them. This is very important to me.

Re: closing drinks - my plans have changed marginally. I want to go to Devitts for a few once the exhibition is down but I can't seem myself getting trashed. We should be there from around 5.30, 6pm all going well. This may change if Munster win.

Please come.
