Steemit Meetup in Dublin

We had a great evening on Saturday at another @steem-dublin meetup here in Dublin.

September Meetup

It was great to meet The Model Maker @mitchhunter for the first time and catch up with other Steemit friends.

@steem-dublin

The aim of Steem Dublin is to promote Steemit, and in particular Irish authors and artists who wish to get started on Steemit. We initially have been supporting them with votes and resteems but facilitating a regular meetup gives people the opportunity to chat and discuss with like minded people face to face.

Activity in Ireland

There has been a clear growth in the number of posts from Ireland in recent months. It is very reassuring that the community in Ireland is growing, @steem-dublin is currently following 222 people. A diverse array of content is being produced; from sand sculptures to drone photography.

There are also authors running competitions and other initiatives;

@rickyjrx runs a weekly Photography Challenge "#rickysphotochallenge"
I run a monthly Travel/Culture challenge "#culturevulture".
@paulag runs a weekly Business Intelligence Challenge. Check out the "#bisteemit" tag for more on this and other posts from the community she has created.
@woman-onthe-wing runs a regular food challenge, which I warn you will make you hungry so maybe grab a bite before checking out this at "#steemitculinarychallenge"
Have you checked out @beanz on the weekly @votu podcast?

This is some interesting stuff and just a few examples of how Irish Authors are contributing to Steemit.

Follow @steem-dublin for updates about future meetups in Dublin and for promotion of some great content.

Steemfest

There are already 3 people confirmed going from Ireland to Steemfest in Portugal, @beanz, @demotruk and me @eroche. @fiveboringgames and @ishtar are possibilities.

Will you join us?

Next Meetup

There will be a meetup in Dublin on 28th of October. It's likely to be at 6pm in the Duke Pub but that is to be confirmed. Please let us know if you would be happier to attend earlier in the day and if a Cafe would suit better. It can be hard to find a quiet cafe on a Saturday in Dublin city center but an earlier time in the Duke might suit more people better.

We plan to have a regular meetup on the last Saturday of the month. Save the date. Hope to see you there!
