whellman, welcome to the city and the forum.
This "Friends" thread is used by new and old alike to arrange meets and/or general chat.

Btw, another boards' forum, After Hours, will have a meet soon in Galway. You can read about it here.

I got absolutely hammered last weekend after the soccer game so will lay low this one I think.
But if someone wants to suggest some dates/venues feel free to start a thread.

Go Karting is always a good one. Either in the Liosbaun Industrial Estate, or out in Tynagh, near Loughrea. (Which would also open events to our oft forgotten brothers and sisters in the County forum).

I drive, and would happily offer a lift for up to 3 people, assuming you're not the murderous hitch hiker type of course...

Well, that's just discrimination. Murderous hitch hiker types need some love too, yknow?

I know. The only problem is that when they try to steal my heart, they do actually mean it literally.

Ah crap, cancel that. I had a wisdom tooth taken out today. Best I stay off beer and smokes for a while...
And then in two weeks it's time to pull another one. I won't be right until mid May.

There's still a bar there in the Planet anyway. Generally the person working there is zipping between that and the front desk though so you're waiting a bit sometimes which can be awkward when you're in a game as well.

Not sure about tomorrow but I'll definitely be heading for a few on Saturday. Biko drinking alcohol isn't necessary in order to attend, a coffee is more than acceptable.

There is a beers on the 22nd in O'Connells for After Hours forum. There will be a tonne of boardsies there and hardly anyone knows each other so you'll fit right in. I expect some from this forum will meet for a quiet pint and chat before heading over to O'C (I will anyway).
