Tralee Thread (No chit-chat)

Tomthepost

This is a call to all boards members with Tralee connections to get a bit of a community spirit going like the good people of Listowel and Ballybunion who both have fantastic threads going.
Lets get a Tralee one up and running!!!
I have noticed alot of people start threads looking for information on Tralee. Perhaps this thread can be a central forum to help assist them with their queries.
Im now based in Dublin but like to keep up to date with what is happening perhaps people based in Tralee can assist me and others based away through this thread.
Your support in getting this up and running would be greatly appreciated.

Don Ochetti - Del used this as a greeting, until he realised it was the name of a Mafia boss.
fabrique belgique - I agree or approve in Belgium.

tres bien ensemble - French for possessing a sense of occasion.

Anybody know any place in Tralee that can repair leather straps?

Or failing that, any place in Kerry in general that could do it?

Thanks.:)

Braun electric razor, the foil is the bit that comes into contact with the skin.
Last time I picked it up in boots in Dublin. Unfortunately, boots here don't carry foils

Have never seen them on display, but will ask next week. Would rather buy them locally instead of amazon or somesuch.

Pirates Ale

Anyone been in Burger King recently? I see the walls in the nice little kids corner is covered in grafitti as are the small kiddies tables, and when I say covered, I mean COVERED! Looks very bad imo.

Hi,

I'm looking for a gym with pool or a place with pool only membership in Tralee.

Not looking for anything too fancy and the pool would be my main focus.

Would anyone have any opinions on either the Manor West Hotel leisure centre or the Tralee Sports complex or recomendations for anywhere else?

I would prefer somewhere that is quiet enough some times and not too packed!

Thanks a lot.

I think Manor hotel is meant to have a good pool/gym. The pool in the complex is a great pool, but it would be quite busy as it has lots of schools using it as well as swimming clubs. There is also a pool in the Brandon hotel.

I had a membership in Manor West a while back. It was for the gym and pool during the winter. It's an 18m pool so shorter than the complex but it was always quiet in the evenings. There were 2 lanes and I always had 1 to myself. Dunno if you can get pool - only membership, it might be worth asking though. I can't see them turning down memberships.
