Whos down for the summer?

As the title says... who is down for the summer, the time when half our friends go back home and we're left in this big city. Would be cool if there could be a meet up or posting university events for those here doing postgrad work or just staying down for the summer.

I'll be around for the Summer doing research. Does anyone know if the College Bar (for lunch) opens in the Summer?

I'm down doing an internship in the college for most of the summer. Thankfully I don't have to arse about at home for 3 months doing nothing.

Joe, according to here the College Bar are doing carvery mon-fri 12-3 during the summer.

Yeah the college bar definitely stays open and normally do a bbq on a Friday later in the summer (sometimes it's even sunny)

I worked in the college last summer and lived for that BBQ every Friday. Indeed, the sunny days were a bit mad alright :rolleyes:

The Friday BBQs have been up and running for the last month or so.

There's a tGC beers in Galway (GC forum linky) on the 23rd June. I'll most likely be heading if any fellow NUIGers fancy going as well.

They actually haven't stuck to this. Carvery has been closed and they do a couple of hot dishes at the deli counter. Which is grand but the deli counter queue is verrrrrry slow. (+ no gravy for the chips and you have to pay for ketchup!)

Yeah noticed that when i went in yesterday for lunch. The choices were crap for hot lunches, ended up just getting soup and it was shíte.

I miss the old college bar and its good dinners It's really gone downhill this year
