Meeting new friends Galway...

This thread is for meeting new local people and having fun.
It's not for dating or flirting, that stuff comes after meeting and having fun.

Post here if you're new in town or also if you've been here years but still feel like chatting or going to see a movie, bowling, pub crawl, whatever.

Once the cold snap eases up I think we deserve a beers night! I am tempted to try organise another Ladies-only beers as I have gotten a few PMs regarding it, and the last one I couldn't really attend myself properly! But yup, Beers night soon please....

Steyr · 07-01-2010 10:37pm

Bierhaus FTW with a few place cards on tables say maybe 2 tables with "BOARDS BEERS" on them so no awkward "uh are you from the Internet??":pac:

Karl Hungus is guilty of the above!:D

I prefer to stare at people and make them nervous whilst working out if they are a boardsie.

MattKid · 10-01-2010 12:24am

It's not a good look

LadyMayBelle · 10-01-2010 12:53am

You were the first, DRakE

Good advice here guys. I did classes before and everybody arrived late and rushed off after the class so it's a good job the subject was interesting!

I'm 30 and I've lived in Galway all my life but never made a huge effort with friends due to an all-singing all-dancing interior world that would put Willy Wonkas Chocolate factory into receivership.

I'm a lightweight drinker too so I think the club idea is great, thank JustMary.

Hi Buglim,

If you want to organise a GC Boards Beers feel free to start a poll with suggested pubs/dates and I'll sticky it.

Buglim · 15-01-2010 4:26pm

Hi P

I'm afraid I would be way to shy to start/organise anything like that?

LadyMayBelle · 15-01-2010 4:32pm

I'm guessing Fridays or Saturdays suit most people....but then there's always a few who can't make Fridays, and then lots of people like Saturdays to hang out/go out with their *real* friends instead of hanging out with people from the tinternet...

Buglim · 15-01-2010 5:52pm

Lady P, it's good to know that you are here to build up peoples confidence for a night out and to share with the world how you build and classify relationships. WTF???

Easy up! I've organised a beers before, and the feedback has been thru PMs and what not that Saturdays are often kept for spending time with families/friends/going out with your friends...the uptake was smaller because many people already had plans for saturdays. Fridays are usually fine but many people travel home for the weekend!

I wasn't trying to put negative vibes your way, just giving info, I'm all for another beers..yeesh!

I was going to offer to help you get a thread going but now I'm not so sure!

Phew, overly sensitive this week!! All good!

PopeBuckfastXVI · 15-01-2010 6:21pm

Lady P,

Care to start a poll?

LadyMayBelle · 15-01-2010 7:30pm

Done, although chances are I'll make a mistake or twelve and be on to you to correct it; feel free if you notice any to change it..

MagicM83 · 04-02-2010 4:47pm

Hiya,

Find myself in a similar situation - reckon it is always good to meet a few new people, 27yr old girl. Whats a BEERS night?

Thanks :-)

Carolyyn · 04-02-2010 4:53pm

Hi there,
Beers night is just a get together of folks who use Boards, and a way to meet some new people. You prob saw that we had one last Friday in the Salthouse which had a nice mix of people, all v. friendly. Yeah I'd def recommend you come along to the next one!

LadyMayBelle · 04-02-2010 5:19pm

Aw, it's hearing about gigs like that that makes me miss living in the city centre instead of out in the wilds of the county

inisboffin · 04-02-2010 5:28pm

Heya Lady P, any linkies to that gig tonight, or more info on the bands? Ta!

DRakE · 04-02-2010 5:29pm
