At some stage after 11:00 you can hear us and get  confirmation that booking these tickets was the absolutely right  decision! ;-)))<\/p>\n<p>Back to the normal program:<\/p>\n<p>An interesting event on this weekend is the Phoenix Park Races on  Saturday and Sunday. <a class=\"moz-txt-link-freetext\" href=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixparkmotorraces.org\/\">http:\/\/www.phoenixparkmotorraces.org<\/a> is a fancy  website but it is difficult to find the relevant information. Some of  the attractions are described here  <a class=\"moz-txt-link-freetext\" href=\"http:\/\/www.formulalibreireland.com\/phoenix_park.pdf\">http:\/\/www.formulalibreireland.com\/phoenix_park.pdf<\/a> and the timetable  is here <a class=\"moz-txt-link-freetext\" href=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixparkmotorraces.org\/timetable.html\">http:\/\/www.phoenixparkmotorraces.org\/timetable.html<\/a>. The event  is free and sounds very interesting and &#8220;different&#8221;! ;-)<\/p>\n<p>In the Hilton Hotel on Charlemont Street will be an Antiques Fair this  Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00. There is an entrance charge  (EUR 3) so I won&#8217;t give them too much space here!<br \/>\n<a class=\"moz-txt-link-freetext\" href=\"http:\/\/www.antiquesfairsireland.com\/\">http:\/\/www.antiquesfairsireland.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In Smithfield there is another Saturday of the Smithfield Summer  Market. The organisers claim it will be &#8220;the biggest open air market  Dublin has ever seen&#8221;. Hmmmm, I was there last week and I agree with  them. &#8230;BUT, I think the &#8220;will be&#8221; refers to the Smithfield Summer  Market in 2010, not this years. I think it is great what they have  done because it needs to start as an acorn before it can grow into an  oak tree, but it IS only an acorn this year. ;-) Still if you are in  the area, go there for a few minutes. Only if people are seen to go to  it, it will get a chance to grow.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, the Bray Air Show that was meant to be on last weekend was  postponed due to the rain, it will now be on the 2nd of September.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday 12th August 2007 &#8211; A Sponsored Swim will take place at the  Forty Foot, Sandycove in support of the Art &#038; Cultural Society of the  Deaf. Registration from 11 AM and official start at 12 noon.  Refreshments &#038; Safety boats provided. Many great prizes to be won.  Admission \u00e2\u201a\u00ac15.00 at the door.
