| Science
in the Gravity Bar | |
 | Do you lie awake at night worrying about the Asteroid Threat; have you ever wondered what `Dark Matter' is really made of? Then join us on a historical tour of the Guinness Hop Store and see how Dublin's famous dark brew is really made before retiring to the famous Gravity Bar to sample the well-known dark liquid (free gratis) and imbue some Science. This event is a light-hearted discussion led by Mark Bailey (Armagh) and Duncan Steel (Salford) on Asteroid Impacts. Alternative drinks will, of course, also be available. Note that the Gravity Bar has a 360 degree panoramic view of Dublin and is a wonderful venue for this event. Numbers at the event are limited by free ticket to 200 and tickets will issued be on a first come, first served basis at registration. Buses will be provided; they will leave Dublin Castle at 19:15 sharp, and will return to the Castle from the Guinness Hop Store at approximately 22:30.
