    There's a few of us heading for a daunder around Galway tomorrow to see some sights and such, and to stop occasionally to give a read of an extract or two from Flann O'Brien's "Cruiskeen Lawn". It might sound a little pretentious, but it promises to be fun nonetheless.
    We shall start with breakfast in the Gourmet Tart in Salthill at 11am if anyone wishes to join.

    Quick idea:

    If you're any way technical or a bit fo a nerd/gamer (like myself) try 091 Labs, great place to hang out and meet friends.

    Hi all, I'm in the same boat as many here... just after moving to this fair city to work as my friends who were here all decided to move away to greener pastures :pac: So I'm wondering is there any meet-ups coming up to meet new people or is anyone looking for someone to go for a coffee and a chat in the evenings? I'm 22 I probably should add

    ye last two posters should meet up. same boat for both of ye.

    also might be no harm if ye check out the social activities of the University as im sure that will give ye plenty of social opportunities to meet new people.

    I'm leaving Galway soon, but what you could so is organize a coffee/tea evening, where you meet somewhere in town and go for tea and a chat. The Ladies Lounge has a private lounge for arranging things like that, I think, so drop one of the mods there a message and see if they can let you in.

    Hi all,

    I just got out of a long term relationship and realised that i actually dont have that many friends (if any) around Galway anymore.
    Sad eh? ha anyway id like to meet new people, get out there and just have some fun.

    I was thinking of going to the adult gymnastics classes tomorrow night out near the racecourse if anyone wants to join otherwise if there is anyone meeting up for a bit of a laugh i would be up for it.

    Im a 25 yr old girl living pretty close to town so if anyone is about for a cup of tea, a movie, a run, a skate or a much needed double Captain Morgans let me know! haha

    After being hooked to the tv for the Olympic gymnastics,I promised myself that I'll try it some time soon.However,now that I know there are adult classes in Galway I'm not feeling so brave ha!

    Anyway,I've highlighted the most important part of your post.Double sounds like a reasonable warm up before moving on to triples washed down with none other than Club orange,of course;)

    Club orange? of course, nothing else would do!!

    I called in today to check out the place for the gymnastics and they said that they start off with a really basic intro with a focus on cardio and core strengthening then you move onto handstands etc, nothing too daring, you wouldnt be attempting the vault anytime soon ;)

    Looks like it could be fun and a bit of a mess about really, i mean who doesnt love to laugh at someone falling over and considering i have no body strength at all and i cant even tumble i could be the most entertaining part of the night :)

    With the exception of cardio,you've alleviated most of my initial concerns.For now lol.Unfortunately,I'm training 5 evenings a week already and have just commenced a PhD,so I have little time for any more activites until the weekends.It sounds like it could be a lot of fun though...

    Weekends are usually spent hydrating myself with endless cups of tea before rallying a few troops in the evening to take on the evil Captain Morgan,and eventually being teleported into town.Come to think about it,that could be a good time to practice some gymnastics.After you.....:p

    Captain Morgan is a great motivator for the gymnastics or anything that common sense would prevent you from doing normally :)
    5 nights training for what? A marathon???

    In the process of finishing mine up at the moment - I'd advise against putting too many things off because of the PhD. It could make it a long four years..

    I can confirm that Renmore Gymnastics Club meets in Racecourse Business Park, which is in Parkmore not Renmore.

    No one ever said that the world was a logical place :D

    Hi primrose_lily! In a similar-ish situation too. Would be absolutely terrified to go doin gymnastics. Id need a few Morgans beforehand!
    Have you done it before? Would love to hear how you get on with it though, in need of a new hobby!

    nope never done it before, i might actually go next week as im so tired today, i dont think i have the energy to take it seriously but next week definitely, you should come along with me, i cant even tumble, never been able to do a handstand or cartwheel so we can be the 2 newbies.
    they said it starts of pretty slow for new people and gradually get you used to things and build up strength :)

    might be a laugh! :)
