    Welcome to Ros!!!

    Do you play any sports? Best thing might be to take up a hobby or pastime.
    Not much happening during the week unless you are in a club

    well you have the choice of two gyms, two pools.
    http://www.rosactive.org/Directory.asp is a list of all the clubs/sports in the area

    the cinema is meant to be up and running soon (I'll believe it when i see it)
    night life can be repeatative though.
    nightclub is ok.
    some good pubs - Regans, Rooster, Kellys, JJs.
    athlone, galway and carrick are only up the road!
    theatre is there if you're into that.
    good restaurants - gleesons, jackson's, pepper mill, Yew tree out the road in Lecarrow, chinese
    you're spolied for supermarkets - tesco, super valu, dunnes, aldi, lidl, super savers (highly recommended)
