The venue for the next Geeknic will be the Peoples Park, Dun Laoghaire. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=53.29015&mlon=-6.12834&zoom=15&layers... See map. The plan is to meet in the park at the band stand at around 2pm on Sunday 18th of July, 2010. This is a great opportunity for geeks, and there family and friends, to meet up and have some fun. This is most definitely a family friendly event and kids are more than welcome.

The venue can be easily be reached via car (parking should not be a problem) or DART.

As this geeknic is to take place in a public park there will be no cost. Just bring your own picnic fare for yourself and a little extra to share. For those who forget to bring food, don't panic, there will be a farmers market on the day in the park selling all sorts of nice food.

Previous Geeknics have always been great fun. Hopefully the sun will shine on July 18th and we'll see you there!!! For those unfamiliar with the term, a [[http://geeknic.org/|Geeknic]] is a picnic for geeks.
