Right, getting to NUIG. There should be a campus map attached to this post.

For those getting a taxi from the bus/train station, ask the driver to bring ye to the university sports hall. If he doesn't know where the hall is, get him to drop ye at the main University Road enterance (marked with a * on the map), the hall is only a short walk from here.

For those driving to us, got these directions from the NUIG webpage - God help ye! Be prepared for a feast of roundabouts!

From the South (Cork / Limerick / Shannon Airport) N18
From the South (Cork, Limerick) approach Galway on the N18. Pass straight through Ennis, Gort, Ardrahan and Clarinbridge. You will arrive at Oranmore roundabout (the first of many roundabouts as you approach Galway).
Bypass Oranmore village by going straight through this roundabout and the next, which is only about 0.5 km further on (take the 2nd exit at both).
Please skip to 'Oranmore to NUI Galway', below.

From the North / East (Dublin / Belfast) N6
From the East or North (Dublin, Belfast) approach Galway on the N6. Pass straight through Athlone, Ballinasloe, Loughrea and Craughwell. You will arrive at Oranmore roundabout (the first of many roundabouts as you approach Galway).
Bypass Oranmore village by taking the third exit from this roundabout and going straight through the next, which is only about 0.5 km further on.
Please skip to 'Oranmore to NUI Galway', below.

Oranmore to NUI Galway
On approaching Galway, follow signs for Galway / Clifden N59.
1. Follow the dual carriageway (still the N6) to the 'Martin' (next) roundabout (about 3km) and take the 2nd exit (signposted Galway West).
2. Proceed to the 'Lynch' (next) roundabout (about 1km) and take the 2nd exit (signposted Galway / N6).
3. At the 'Morris' (next) roundabout take the 2nd exit (signposted Clifden).
4. At the 'Font' (next) roundabout take 2nd exit (signposted Clifden).
5. Approximately 2 Km later, take the 2nd exit on the 'Kirwan' (next) roundabout.
6. At the 'Bodkin' (traffic light controlled) (next) roundabout, take the 4th exit (signposted Clifden / N59).
7. At the next traffic lights, turn left (signposted Lower Salthill).
8. At the next set of traffic lights (with the AIB bank on the left), turn left on to Distillery Road. Continue along this road which will curve to the right with the Corrib River on the left. The car park at the end of the road is the best place to park.
9. The sports hall is in a building called “Áras na Mac Leinn”. From the car park, walk past “Aras Ui Chathail” and the "National Diagnostic Centre” (on your LHS). Turn left at the Bank of Ireland ATM machine (on your RHS). Ye’ll see a glass fronted building – this is the sports hall.

Got some concerened voices from accross the Shannon that 12.00 might be too early to start for the second session. We'll start the UCD, DCU, DIT, NUIM and CIT session at 12.30 (instead of 12.00) to allow ye time to get here.

Hi,
Will there be any practice butts up to warm up after the extra long wait?

no problem if the isnt going to be.

Panserborn

We intend to have 'em.

Haven't got final numbers from all the colleges yet but there will probably be a couple of spare butts there in the 1st session to warm up on.
