🇮🇪 Ireland’s Undiscovered Past: The 1800s
📅 Date: Friday, October 3, 2025
🕑 Time: 2:00 PM BST (UK Time)
✅ Friday, October 3, 2025, at 6:00 AM PT
The history of 19th-century Ireland is often told through major events—the Act of Union, the Great Famine, and the push for land reform and Home Rule. But what about the forgotten voices of the time?
Join historian Gillian O’Brien as she explores the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland to bring to life lesser-known figures—men and women whose stories reveal surprising and powerful insights into the century that reshaped Ireland.
This online talk introduces the groundbreaking Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland, a global digital humanities initiative to reconstruct Ireland’s lost national archives following the destruction of the Public Record Office in 1922.
Gillian O’Brien is Professor of Public History at Liverpool John Moores University, author of The Darkness Echoing, and a former Fulbright Scholar.

Группа Разговорного Английского
Практикуйте разговорный английский в дружеской, небольшой группе под руководством обученного ведущего. Добро пожаловать всем уровням, включая новичков.
Группа предназначена для всех, независимо от языка или культурного происхождения, кто хочет практиковать разговорный английский и аудирование в тёплой, социальной обстановке.
Умение чувствовать себя комфортно и уверенно в неформальном общении важно даже в более формальных средах, таких как работа или учёба. Здесь вы налаживаете позитивные связи, заводите друзей, улучшаете уверенность и беглость речи, узнаёте больше об американской жизни и других культурах. Каждый раз — новые темы и задания, часто с картинками, чтобы встречи были интересными и интерактивными для любого уровня.
Важно: Это не «урок» в традиционном смысле. Ведущий не является учителем, и прямого обучения грамматике мало или совсем нет. Основной акцент — на словарный запас и живую практику речи. Дополнительные ресурсы или рекомендации могут быть предоставлены при необходимости или по запросу участников. Это пространство для обучения через практику. Ведущий может быть или не быть билингвом.

المجموعة مفتوحة لأي شخص من أي خلفية لغوية أو ثقافية يرغب في ممارسة التحدث (والاستماع) إلى اللغة الإنجليزية في بيئة اجتماعية مرحبة.
الشعور بالراحة والثقة في المحادثات الاجتماعية غير الرسمية مهم حتى في البيئات الأكثر رسمية، مثل العمل أو الجامعة. فهذه الطريقة تساعدك على بناء علاقات إيجابية مع الآخرين، والتي قد تفيدك لاحقًا، كما تساعدك على تكوين صداقات. حسّن ثقتك وطلاقتك في اللغة الإنجليزية، وتعرّف على الحياة الأمريكية وثقافات أخرى، وابنِ روابط اجتماعية. سيتم استخدام مواضيع وأنشطة مختلفة، غالبًا باستخدام الصور، في كل مرة لجعل المجموعة ممتعة وتفاعلية لأي مستوى.

- Most attendees are happy to talk about their cars, so don’t hesitate to ask questions.

About The Fair Oaks Library Tap to expand
The Fair Oaks Library is a public library located in Fair Oaks, California, that serves as a community hub for learning, culture, and engagement. While specific details (such as operating hours or programming schedules) may change over time, here are some key points about the library:
Community Focus
- Public Resource: As part of the local public library system (often integrated with the Sacramento County Public Library system), the Fair Oaks Library provides residents with access to a broad range of materials including books, magazines, DVDs, and digital resources.
- Programs and Events: The library frequently hosts events and programs for all age groups. These can include story times for children, book clubs, educational workshops, and community meetings. Such events are designed to foster literacy, lifelong learning, and community interaction.

- Community Hub: Beyond lending materials, the Fair Oaks Library serves as a meeting place for community groups and local events, contributing to the social and educational fabric of the area.
Additional Information
- Local Integration: Being part of the county’s library system means that residents often have access not only to the materials available at the Fair Oaks branch but also to a much larger interlibrary network. This allows for broader resource sharing and additional services.
- Staying Updated: For the most current information on operating hours, specific programs, or any temporary changes (such as holiday closures or special events), it’s a good idea to check the library’s official website or contact them directly. Local government or the Sacramento County Public Library system’s site will typically have the latest updates.

About Cars & Coffee Tap to expand
- It's an informal and welcoming environment where people from all walks of life come together over a shared passion for cars.
- Most events are early morning meetups (usually on weekends, between 7-10 AM), so expect to start your day early.
- The vibe is relaxed—this isn’t a competitive car show, just enthusiasts hanging out.
- A wide variety: expect everything from classic muscle cars and exotics to JDM tuners, off-road rigs, and even electric performance cars.
- Some meetups are more specialized (e.g., supercar-focused, JDM-heavy, or classic-only), while others are open to all types.
- People bring their daily drivers, project cars, and even high-end hypercars, depending on the crowd.
- You'll find a mix of car owners, collectors, first-time attendees, photographers, and industry professionals.
- Most attendees are happy to talk about their cars, so don’t hesitate to ask questions.
- Some people go just to check out the cars without bringing their own.
- No revving, burnouts, or reckless driving. Many events are shut down due to rowdy behavior.
- Be respectful—don’t touch cars without permission.
- If taking photos, be mindful of owners and other attendees.
- Most meetups have a coffee stand or café nearby for a morning caffeine fix.
- Some larger events may have vendors selling car-related gear, apparel, or detailing products.
- Occasionally, manufacturers or dealerships bring new models to showcase.
- The "exit show" can sometimes be exciting, as some attendees like to give a little throttle when leaving—but remember, safety first!
- Be mindful of traffic, pedestrians, and law enforcement that might be monitoring.
- The best cars tend to arrive right at the start and may leave early, so getting there when the event starts gives you the best chance to see everything.
- Parking for spectators can fill up quickly, so plan accordingly.
- Most meetups are in large parking lots or open spaces, so wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking a lot.
- Car photography is a big part of the experience.
- Be mindful of reflections in windows and other spectators when snapping pics.
- If you want to post to social media, a lot of owners love seeing their cars get shared—just tag or credit them if possible!
- If you’re interested in a particular car, most owners love talking about them—just be polite and ask before touching or peeking inside. Compliments go a long way!
- Stay on the sidewalks or designated areas—don’t stand too close to moving vehicles.
- Don’t lean on or touch cars unless given permission.
- No littering—keep the space clean so the event can continue in the future.
- Most Cars and Coffee meetups have a coffee stand or café nearby, so it’s a great chance to sip a fresh cup while enjoying the cars.
- Some events even have local vendors selling merch, car care products, or food trucks.
- Some attendees give a little throttle when leaving, which can be fun to watch.
- However, stay off the street and don’t encourage reckless driving—many events have been shut down due to burnouts and accidents.

About Sailor Bar
Sailor Bar Walk — Fair Oaks / Rancho Cordova (American River Parkway)
A scenic, mostly flat riverside walk through oak woodland, gravel bars, and historic gold-mining tailings—perfect for easy mileage, birding, and river views.
✨ Why visit
• Big sky river vistas, gravel bars, and seasonal side-pools.
• Frequent wildlife: egrets, herons, ducks, raptors—plus beaver & river otter sightings are possible.
• Easy access and mellow grades make it great for all levels, sunrise to golden hour.
📍 Trailhead
Sailor Bar Access, off Illinois Ave (Fair Oaks). Multiple dirt/gravel spurs along the river; your event route (~4–5 miles) stays mostly level on service roads and riverside paths.
⏱️ Time & Difficulty
Easy • Allow 1.5–2 hours with photo stops. Surfaces range from packed dirt to river rock; wear sturdy shoes.
🚗 Parking & Facilities
American River Parkway day-use fee (paid kiosk / self-pay). Sites here include restrooms, picnic spots, boat ramp (small craft), and equestrian staging areas.
👀 What to look for
- Gravel bars & side channels—great for waterfowl and reflections.
- Blue & valley oaks, willow/cottonwood stands along the riparian edge.
- Fall salmon activity (often Oct–Dec) between River Bend and Sailor Bar; watch respectfully from shore.
- Historic dredge tailings—rounded cobble mounds from early mining.
🏺 A short history of Sailor Bar
The American River has supported people for thousands of years, including Nisenan (Southern Maidu) communities along its fertile floodplain. During the Gold Rush and into the early 20th century, Sailor Bar and nearby Sacramento Bar were heavily mined—first by hand, then by massive bucket dredges. Local lore says the name comes from sailors who left their ships to try their luck here. The rounded rock “tailings” you see today are the landscape’s living record of that era.
⚠️ River safety & etiquette
- Stay off unstable banks; river levels and currents change quickly.
- Yield to horses & give anglers space; pack out all trash.
- Dogs on leash where posted; watch for goathead thorns on gravel.
- Check current county park rules and CDFW regulations if fishing.
🌤️ Best times
Year-round; spring wildflowers & green hills, summer river breezes (go early), fall color & salmon activity, crisp winter birding.
🧭 Navigation tip
From the main lot, head toward the river and follow the service road east or west along the bank; spur paths lead to gravel bars and overlooks.
Tip: River cobbles can be slick—choose treaded shoes. After big storms, expect debris and re-routed side channels.

Группа Разговорного Английского
Практикуйте разговорный английский в дружеской, небольшой группе под руководством обученного ведущего. Добро пожаловать всем уровням, включая новичков.
Группа предназначена для всех, независимо от языка или культурного происхождения, кто хочет практиковать разговорный английский и аудирование в тёплой, социальной обстановке.
Умение чувствовать себя комфортно и уверенно в неформальном общении важно даже в более формальных средах, таких как работа или учёба. Здесь вы налаживаете позитивные связи, заводите друзей, улучшаете уверенность и беглость речи, узнаёте больше об американской жизни и других культурах. Каждый раз — новые темы и задания, часто с картинками, чтобы встречи были интересными и интерактивными для любого уровня.
Важно: Это не «урок» в традиционном смысле. Ведущий не является учителем, и прямого обучения грамматике мало или совсем нет. Основной акцент — на словарный запас и живую практику речи. Дополнительные ресурсы или рекомендации могут быть предоставлены при необходимости или по запросу участников. Это пространство для обучения через практику. Ведущий может быть или не быть билингвом.

مجموعة محادثة اللغة الإنجليزية
تدرّب على التحدث باللغة الإنجليزية في مجموعة صغيرة وودية يقودها مُيسر مُدرَّب. جميع المستويات مرحب بها، بما في ذلك المبتدئون.
المجموعة مفتوحة لأي شخص من أي خلفية لغوية أو ثقافية يرغب في ممارسة التحدث (والاستماع) إلى اللغة الإنجليزية في بيئة اجتماعية مرحبة.
الشعور بالراحة والثقة في المحادثات الاجتماعية غير الرسمية مهم حتى في البيئات الأكثر رسمية، مثل العمل أو الجامعة. فهذه الطريقة تساعدك على بناء علاقات إيجابية مع الآخرين، والتي قد تفيدك لاحقًا، كما تساعدك على تكوين صداقات. حسّن ثقتك وطلاقتك في اللغة الإنجليزية، وتعرّف على الحياة الأمريكية وثقافات أخرى، وابنِ روابط اجتماعية. سيتم استخدام مواضيع وأنشطة مختلفة، غالبًا باستخدام الصور، في كل مرة لجعل المجموعة ممتعة وتفاعلية لأي مستوى.
ملاحظة: هذه ليست “صفًا دراسيًا” بالمعنى التقليدي. المُيسر ليس معلمًا، ولا يوجد تعليم مكثف لقواعد اللغة، إن وُجد، حيث يركز اللقاء أكثر على المفردات والممارسة الفعلية للتحدث. قد يتم توفير موارد أخرى أو إحالات عند الحاجة أو الطلب. هذه مساحة للمشاركين ليتعلموا من خلال الممارسة، بقضاء وقتهم في التحدث! قد يكون المُيسر ثنائي اللغة أو لا.

About The Fair Oaks Library Tap to expand
The Fair Oaks Library is a public library located in Fair Oaks, California, that serves as a community hub for learning, culture, and engagement. While specific details (such as operating hours or programming schedules) may change over time, here are some key points about the library:
Community Focus
- Public Resource: As part of the local public library system (often integrated with the Sacramento County Public Library system), the Fair Oaks Library provides residents with access to a broad range of materials including books, magazines, DVDs, and digital resources.
- Programs and Events: The library frequently hosts events and programs for all age groups. These can include story times for children, book clubs, educational workshops, and community meetings. Such events are designed to foster literacy, lifelong learning, and community interaction.
- Digital and In-Person Services: In addition to a physical collection, the library offers digital resources such as e-books, audiobooks, and online databases. Public computers and free Wi-Fi are typically available to assist with research, job applications, or other internet needs.
Environment
- Welcoming Space: The library is known for its inviting atmosphere. It often includes dedicated areas for children, teens, and adults, making it a versatile space for families, students, and seniors.
- Community Hub: Beyond lending materials, the Fair Oaks Library serves as a meeting place for community groups and local events, contributing to the social and educational fabric of the area.
Additional Information
- Local Integration: Being part of the county’s library system means that residents often have access not only to the materials available at the Fair Oaks branch but also to a much larger interlibrary network. This allows for broader resource sharing and additional services.
- Staying Updated: For the most current information on operating hours, specific programs, or any temporary changes (such as holiday closures or special events), it’s a good idea to check the library’s official website or contact them directly. Local government or the Sacramento County Public Library system’s site will typically have the latest updates.
The Fair Oaks Library is much more than just a place to borrow books—it’s an integral community institution dedicated to supporting education, culture, and community engagement in Fair Oaks, California. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to study, a venue for community events, or simply a vast array of resources for learning and leisure, the Fair Oaks Library aims to meet those needs.
If you need more specific or up-to-date details (such as the address, contact information, or current programming), please visit the Sacramento County Public Library website or directly contact the Fair Oaks branch.
