What's on in the City? - 2016

Much like the previous What's on in the City? thread, the same principles apply. Here you can notify others of things; events, happenings, concerts, good restaurants, table quizzes, fundraisers, classes, for the month and following months. Any events pertaining to later months will be carried over until the event is over.…

Here you can notify others of things; events, happenings, concerts, good restaurants, table quizzes, fundraisers, classes, for the month and following months. Any events pertaining to later months will be carried over until the event is over.

A few rules, however;
You have to have 200 posts or more to post, or >1 years on boards.
Tell us a little about the event - posting a flyer will not do and will count as spam.
Once an event has been posted in this thread don't repost it - no bumping or reminding of events either.
Old events, too much chat, spam or topics that don't belong will be (re)moved.

Maybe tell her the shortcut she can take to walk it. Alternatively the times of of the buses that will get her there and back for the gig.
If I remember correctly it cost me €40 for taxis the last time I was out there.

Silly Galway City Council for putting Campbell's in the county.

Yes damn that county council, no, city council I mean, or do I. It also takes more than 20 minutes, unless you're speeding.

Part of this is a few mins out the road, but the experience starts in town. LOADS of great shows on for www.galwaytheatrefestival.com worth checking out too.

*edit. Fisheries Tower is closed now for Sun/Mon Bank Holiday, so Tuesday would be the next day to go in to the first one.

Any good ideas for Father's Day outings? Not sure of the weather tomorrow but a walk in Cong and pub lunch is good. Possibly family movie. Any other ideas?
