    Cool, if you fancy a game sometimes I'm looking for a few partners. I used to play badminton regularly quite a while ago, so I'm not great myself, but looking to get fit and improve.

    Hi All,

    My names Brendan and Im moving to Galway in about 2 weeks. I'm looking for any weekly events or sessions to make a couple of friends or just to have a bit of craic. Im in no way shy or ever lost for words but Im moving down there on my own to get my first proper job in I.T. so Im being forced to grow up and get up early...blah de blah de blah.

    Im 24, really into music, play guitar, was doing a good bit of djing until I got this job offer, have a full setup for gigs but Im unsure if I'll have any time for those "fun" activities anymore!haha!I enjoy a laugh and a bit of criac so if anyone has any suggestions of where to hang out (and not come across as a creep) it would really be appreciated and help me settle in a little.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
    (Hopefully this didnt sound like too much of a lonely heart ad!)

    Galway is really just one enormous party, with some of us having to go to work around the edges of it (I'm on leave today, hence the 10:30am posting!) You'll fit right in.

    Tell us what style of music are you in to, and we can suggest some likely places to start with.

    Would highly recommend Open Mic at the Roisin every Sunday night - great way to meet people and after 2 weeks you'll see the same faces crop up. Great fun too, for the entertainer and the entertainees!

    Hubs and I obtained some new board games but we often lack players. We were thinking of arranging some meetups somewhere in Galway. Thinking The Oslo because they have large tables. Any interest?

    I would be up for some pubquizzing!
    Biko: aye, it is one and the same and we have gone to it. It is always on the same night though and we're looking for a more informal "every now and then when it suits people" kind of setup, maybe enjoy a drink or two in the process :-) I'm hoping there is room for both.

    I was going to start a thread for a beers during the first week of the Christmas market. We did it last year and a few of us did it the years before so it's something of a tradition and one that needs to live on
