Making friends in Mullingar/meet up?

Ramza

Probably wishful thinking but any tips on how to make friends in Mullingar, any clubs or social events I can attend, if not is anyone up for meeting up and spending some time together, I'm bored most days of the week

The Lovely Muffin

In the same boat myself. I was considering taking up Yoga, dunno for sure though, at €120 it's expensive.

There was a topic here, don't know if it's any use to you.

Hey, thanks for replying. None come to mind, I'm not even aware of most of the social bodies/activities in Mullingar outside of sports clubs

I'm starting college on Monday but shud be free most evenings and weekends, I'd love to make new friends or even do something new in Mullingar tbh

There are a lot of exercise and dance classes here, if you're a guy tho the only things i can think of is Thai Chi in the Greville arms and GAA clubs, it's awkward to get started makin friends but when u make the first one then it usually gets going from there

I'm just home for a week before I head off to the US again.

But, for this week, I'm in the same boat. Pretty much all my friends from Mullingar have moved on to other countries or Dublin (which may as well be another country for me, hate the fcukin place!).

So I'm free all this week, and at the weekend. So I'd be up to meet people for a pint/coffee or whatever? Thurs night maybe?

Stuck for cash this week since have to hand out 110 for books and crap =[ Although if I find the time/money I'm sure we could all do something, however few of us

rugby club
handball/racquetball

Yoga to meet people for lads??
Yoga seems like a great hobby or lifestyle but there's a yoga place around the corner from me in Belfast and its all 30 something women I see going in and out. Nothing wrong with that but hardly where a 27 year old male (me) would go to meet new mates.
Also the I find the gym a bad place to meet people its not a very social place kinda a solo thing.
Team sports are the way to go tag rugby being great as you dont have to be the next all star to take part in it.

Work is usually a good place to start and depending on your age/family situation move in with people around the same age. This applies to single people in their 20's mostly I suppose.
If you can pull a pint doing a few hours here or there in one of the popular bars will get you known.

Maybe a thread with a list of activities about the town would be a good idea, I'll do a bit of work and pull a list together and we can add to it.

Any takers for a game of 10 pin bowling some evening?? I think they also do leagues from time to time but you've to form your own team...of 4 I think? I'd be really interested to hear from anyone that might be up for this.
Cheers!

sunshinesister

Longford Lass

Ok folks!
There seems to be a good level of interest in a meet up around Mullingar so I'm going to take this task on board and get something organised!
Can anyone thats genuinely interested PM me with your details and I'll get back to you all.
Let me know a little bit about you..and your interests..and I'll try and arrange an activity that will hopefully suit all tastes.
Looking forward to hearing from you...

Very cute gals, and guys. I must say What about the pub? few cheap pints and a laugh to be had round the town too. The Old stand is great for a midweek pint. Bar staff ar real friendly an pints are great and very cheap

dee.

I do agree, pub/drinks is probably a good idea as most of us will probably have different interests and a pub is quite a laid back atmosphere for a meet up! Id love to be a part of it anyways. I'm a 21 year old female, moved here about a month ago.

nice_guy80

let me know what you have planned for Mullingar.
I might pop along

sunshinesister

lads!!!
i've been in Athlone for a week taking it easy feeling really good but am also now very hungry for some fun fellas to hang with! i'm working as an au pair mon-fri so i'm only free on weekends. will probably be taking the car to mullingar so no drinks for me but that's okay! just not sure if i can do this weekend though but i'll stay tuned!

cheers!:D

Longford Lass

Who's around for a meet up over a few drinks???

T Corolla

Going off the subject is there anyone looking for a running partner for a couple of days a week in Mullingar

Longford Lass

Where are all those people who said they'd be interested in meeting up??
C'mon folks!!
I've had some private mails from people re a meetup which is great! But most of them are saying 'let me know where etc etc....but sure if we dont have a few definites its hard to get this off the ground.
Is it a case of people being too embarassed to post on thread or what??
Anyway...lets see how this pans out over the next day or 2....

sunshinesister

nice_guy80

We had a lovely time last Thursday evening!
There was only 3 of us but the phrase quality and not quantity springs to mind!
We had some extra entertainemt from a few dodgy performers on The Opportunity Knocks stage which just added to the giggles!
We're def going to do it again sometime but I'm pretty busy between now and Easter so I look forward to hearing some of your suggestions for the next meet up!
