    Hi All,
    Hope its ok to post this but I thought since there are several ladies from around the county rather than the city looking to make a few new friends that I'd create a social group on here to see if it would take off. Its invite only so that we our details a little more private as some folk aren't that keen on openly sharing meetup details etc.

    Not sure if its a goer but if your from any area outside the city and you want to join then pm me and we'll see if we can make something happen :-)

    Oh & to join it you have to have 25 posts or more unfortunately I've just discovered!

    Just to get confirmation of where the venue is for bowling - Oranmore or Omniplex? Either one suits me.

    think galway city is kind of decided on as some people may not have a way out etc so might be best

    I'd go to a beers for a few 7up's or something, beats bowling anyway :) But yeah, I live in the county not the city, so the way everyone cancels in the last day-ish is fairly off putting, wouldn't want to end up in the city with no one showing up.

    Oh yeah I know, I've gone to a few meet ups but I'd say out of about 10 I've said yes to 4 have gone ahead and only one other person showed up to one of them, not the ideal scenario!

    Anything with drink usually wins outright lol!! Would be up for Beers sometime too.

    Bowling is fun i.m.o. if it's not an activity a person enjoys so be it, c'ést la vie, on we go! Can't do anymore than that unless anyone has any suggestions for other things to do. :) But some do actually enjoy it. :) Would love to do beers if anyone is going.

    I live a fair distance from city myself, and know it's hassle for anything on in the city, but there's ways around that sometimes! Because of a couple of questionable troll-esque posts prancing about the place; - it's causing nothing but ~un-necessary~ negativity, :( is possibly off-putting for anyone that might like to get involved, and it's now also starting to cause annoyance.

    I'd much rather try and get something happening, and if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen, and I'd most likely try for it again another time too! :) But would much prefer to be contributing and participating rather than messing about at the following carry-on; -

    But....it wasn't you that started this thread, why do you say you're making the effort to organise it like they're derailing your thread?? :confused: And that penguin isn't trolling or "crap", it's quite an accurate representation of what goes on in these threads!
