Would everyone be up for a coffee or something sometime in August!?

maydream · 05-08-2015 6:32pm

Yes I would!

Grey Fox · 09-08-2015 10:31am

Sounds good Jenny. I could really do with making new friends, need to make more of an effort!

What's everyone's interests?

I'm 30 year old man, live in the Greenmill lane area. Like running/keeping fit and golf but also into video games, telly etc.

I'm 29 year old female, I enjoy cooking, a bit of fitness. Would love to start a hobby like golf or something where I get out a couple of times a month and meet people. Love to socialise.

maydream · 09-08-2015 11:37pm

p.s. I live near the borris road.

djflawless · 10-08-2015 12:17am

Im a bit of a hobbiest golfer...crap at it, but play all the same...portlaoise g.c is very friendly!

maydream · 10-08-2015 12:40am

Thanks a mill for that, might try book in for lessons.

djflawless · 10-08-2015 12:57am

Also, for socialising ..letheon has a good, mixed crowd at weekends

I have been to leathean during the day but not at night, lovely little bar. I was in the Manhattan mixer recently too, it's small but quirky

Grey Fox · 10-08-2015 8:55pm

When I first moved to town I tried a few different things to meet people, with different levels of success!
- Astro turf soccer at the leisure centre.
- I e-mailed Laois surfing club a while back looking to join but they never replied, not sure if it still exists!
- I mailed LSPCA about volunteering to help them out in my spare time but again I didn't get a reply
- Rugby (Tag rugby is great for both men and women, great laugh/social activity)
- TRX, try a few sessions and see how you get on
- Joined the Heath golf club. The course in town is nice and friendly too as mentioned.
- Went down to the athletics club one night. I am a casual enough runner though and their warm up was a 4 mile run around town!! So I wasn't able for that but there are probably different levels.
- Swimming lessons

There is loads of stuff if you have a look around. I'd be up for a coffee or 9 holes of golf(or whatever) if anyone's interested, I'm fairly easy going anyway I'm sure most of us have something in common other than our love of Portlaoise! :-P

maydream · 10-08-2015 10:23pm

Would defo be up for organising a coffee or a few drinks, think Jenny was suggesting this too. I couldn't commit to golf as I haven't got a clue, would love to learn lol at some stage!
I agree, I'm sure everyone is relatively normal and there will be more than lovely portlaoise in common! Ã°ÂŸÂ˜Â€

Keehar · 10-08-2015 10:30pm

I'd be game for a get together, too. I'm no golfer but I'm sure we can find some other things in common :-p

jennyjones91 · 12-08-2015 1:17pm

I wouldn't have a clue where to start with golf unless it's some type of crazy golf. And at that I still suck lol. Yea I'm sure we'll all find something in common after having a proper chat. I'm 23, unemployed, living at home and tbh don't really have any hobbies. I need to pick one up, just unsure of what.

If you want to try ceramics I have loads of stuff lying idle and a bag of clay you can have. Might boot my ass into gear to start making again if the shed was in use.

What times would suit everyone? Saturday afternoons and sundays are usually good for me, and maybe a weekday evening with enough notice!

maydream · 14-08-2015 11:46pm

Saturday/Sunday's suit me too and agree with notice mid week could be ok too.

Keehar · 15-08-2015 12:11am

Yeah weekends suit me fine.

jennyjones91 · 18-08-2015 8:09pm

Yea weekend suits me :-)

Anyone up for walks or a cycle in the evening. Nothing mental just a casual walk to get outa the house. Not a fan of walking alone especially with the dark evenings approaching.
