I too am in the same boat.

Would anyone like to go to the cinema on Thursday evening? I was thinking the Eye Cinema in Renmore

Laura1992 · 18-06-2011 3:49pm

Are you living in the city center? That cinema is kind of out of my way, but if you want to do something another time, I think we're kind of in the same situation!

Galway K9 · 21-06-2011 11:32am

Id be up for something too...:)

El_Drago · 21-06-2011 11:46am

bigtuna · 21-06-2011 2:37pm

Me too if I'm not working on the night

FreqSeq · 21-06-2011 5:40pm

Hello all

I'd love to join in a meet-up.

x0l0x · 21-06-2011 7:04pm

What about going to the cinema next Saturday to watch Green Lantern Movie ?

FreqSeq · 21-06-2011 7:13pm

The problem with the cinema is you are siting a dark room being silent.
There is so little interaction, getting to know each other in nearly impossible.

bigtuna · 21-06-2011 7:22pm

I'm working all this weekend so won't be able to make it:(

mmmm good point

... so suggest something

Panthro · 21-06-2011 7:52pm

my sister mentioned a place in Salthill called "Olso" (I think!) its either a cafe/or pub and they have loads of board games to play.
Pretty sweet place for a meet up!:pac:

Acoshla · 21-06-2011 8:44pm

Oslo and the Cottage both have board games etc, Oslo has movie nights and the Cottage has themed food nights and stuff, both good places to meet up, best girls meet up I was ever at was in the Cottage, good tapas and good atmosphere.

mazthespark · 22-06-2011 10:34pm

anyone up for a few on friday nite?

UndertheBridge · 22-06-2011 11:46pm

I would be interested in a meetup... Cinema, few drinks, whatever

El_Drago · 23-06-2011 12:57am

Unfortunately I can't do Friday as I've a cocktail party to attend.Saturday or some day next week should be absolutely fine though

UrsulaS · 23-06-2011 9:22am

Hello

I'm new here. I've free saturday and sunday if sb is interested in meeting in G-way c-center

FreqSeq · 23-06-2011 8:29pm

Saturday or Sunday would be good for me too.

x0l0x · 23-06-2011 8:38pm

Perfect

.... Then on Saturday what about if we go to sit in a bar and have a walk in city center.

If you can just add me on MSN will be better than these messages

.... a faster way for communication

El_Drago · 23-06-2011 9:59pm

Are guys welcome along to these meet ups (the Saturday one more specifically),or is it ladies only :P ?

Panthro · 23-06-2011 10:33pm

liking the idea of meeting up folks!:)
Downside is the timescale, sort of have to head home (sticks galway) for the night, any meeting time ideas?
(Blatantly inviting myself along!)

Laura1992 · 23-06-2011 10:42pm

I'm out of Galway this weekend, oh no! If things go well, there should be another meet-up next week so I can come along

bigtuna · 23-06-2011 11:51pm

mazthespark · 25-06-2011 3:43pm

UrsulaS · 25-06-2011 3:52pm

I still don't know if I working or not tonight xD BUT if you're going somewhere just post here or send me a message where you'll be and maybe I'll show there if I will be able. Greedings!

Laura1992 · 29-06-2011 9:57am

If anyone's interested, Kat and I are meeting up on thursday. We were thinking of going to The Quay or something. So if anyone wants to join, let me know and I'll give you a time and a more specific place!

Kat007 · 29-06-2011 10:35am

Agus tá fáilte roimh chach!!

Everyone's welcome ^_^

UrsulaS · 29-06-2011 10:48am

I guess that means we can :P
Since I've college on Friday morning I may just tag along for just a drink and call it a night. However,if anyone is up for watching the Haye vs. Klitschko fight this Saturday and making a night on the town out of it, hit me up.

Laura1992 · 30-06-2011 12:51am

Quays is in the latin quarter of the city centre at the bottom of shop street - it's right across from the spanish arch pub.

Galway K9 · 30-06-2011 1:16pm

Ive training tonight otherwise id love to:)

Have a good one!:)

El_Drago · 30-06-2011 8:08pm

What time are you heading down to the quays at?More importantly,what do I look out for to save myself from the embarrassment of walking up to the wrong people :P

Kat007 · 04-07-2011 11:39am

We're going to go for drinks in the Quay's again at 8 on Thursday.

Lots of notice this time! We'll try to get a table down one flight of stairs if you walk straight in the second door (if you're coming from eyre square) there will be at least one girl with brown hair and glasses (possibly two).

Everyone's welcome and just pm me if ye've any questions!

Panthro · 04-07-2011 6:00pm

Gah!
If I didn't have to be up at 6.30am Friday, I'd be making a definite effort to attend!

Acoshla · 04-07-2011 6:16pm

Would love to go and meet some new people but unfortunately Thursday and Friday evenings/nights don't suit me too well, esp if they're drinking things, with work the next morning.

Jim · 05-07-2011 4:55am

Might pop down to ye if I'm able

Kat007 · 07-07-2011 5:18pm

Hey!

Sorry about this but something's come up at home so I can't go tonight

We should do something next week though!

annab3 · 07-07-2011 9:44pm

I moved to Galway from the US recently and have so far had trouble making new friends.
Any suggestions of things I could do or places I could go that would help?

PauricTheLodger · 07-07-2011 9:56pm

Depends on what kind of stuff you're into I suppose? Drinking, dancing, bowling, boardgames, chess, cinema, theatre, football, badminton, cycling, etc?

spdmrphy · 07-07-2011 9:56pm

Join / play with the local Soccer / GAA team / tag rugby? Or any sport for that matter - generally a good way of breaking the ice with a large group of people - there's bound to be a few sound ones!

Or, you could always go down the pub...

what are your interests? what kind of people would you like to hang out with? younger crowd?

ErnieBert · 07-07-2011 11:55pm

What age group are you? Regardless of if you are male or female, I suggest you become a member of a local sports club like a GAA Club or a soccer club. If you don't play or want to play, you can still get involved (which means doing some voluntary work).

Good luck, and welcome to Galway.

UrsulaS · 08-07-2011 3:44pm

sth tonite?

If I was looking to make friends I would never in a million years join GAA or a sports club. Not everyone is into sports, there would be no point in me or anyone else who doesn't enjoy sports as a hobby doing something like that, even if to volunteer, because you aren't going to meet like minded people.

It's annoying the way 90% of the time people looking to make friends are told to join a sport, for some of us that would be worse than sitting at home alone!

UrsulaS · 08-07-2011 4:00pm

oh I understand that so good! I hate sport ;P
