My wife played hockey and found that quite good fun.

You can find out about sporting events and teams in the community sports centre on the Caragh road.

Ay Cee

Drama groups, if that's your kind of thing.

A part-time/night course perhaps?

http://www.kildarevec.ie/AdultEdFrameSet.htm lists evening courses run by the VEC in a wide variety of subjects.

Newbridge Drama Group are having an open day on the 30th August. I can't remember where though. We got a flier through the door about it. Maybe someone else can give more details.

Macra na Feirme are starting up in Naas (it's not a farmer's organisation these days before ye ask!)....includes drama, sports, activities, weekends away, nights out etc....should be up and running this week or the next.

Eh no, that was the drama group but maybe Macra could follow them there, farmers in the cistin drinking tae does seem appropriate!

Get locked.

In Newbridge, I would suggest several beers in Coffeys before moseying on up to Swifts for shots, a dance and a snog.

In Naas, drinks in the Ivy or Graces before making your way to Time, or Bondai if you're a knacker.

LOL,

Every place you mentioned here is a DUMP....

I don't know many of the pubs in Newbridge, however I know Coffeys and Swifts are awful places.

In Naas, your best bet is Fletchers for a decent pint. Also Kavanaghs (but it is always packed), Haydens is great if the Rugby is on and Lawlors hotel is decent too.

are you loosing the bit you have!, coffeys is a great spot, or perhaps you would prefer fine establishments such as The Keg or Edward House(McCabes) and as for swifts its like an institution in newbridge, i get the feeling your not from newbridge:rolleyes:
