    I agree that when meeting for the first time a pub is a better place as people can relax a little more especially when trying to find out what people are interested in. So I would still be interested if that is what was happening.

    I was talking with one of the other guys from here & it is a shame that there arent more late night cafes (like Tribes) around where there is a nice atmosphere in there & you are able to just sit & chat with people.

    realtin8 a lot of those things are already highly active within the Cork forum, you just need to check out these threads to see!

    Feb Boards Meet up
    Cork Social Outings
    Cork Cinema Nights

    The cinema nights have been organised by Mudokon. On occasion other people organise pub nights and photo walks etc

    Pub trips, bowling, pool, dinner etc are usually organised by me. The more the merrier. We had a bowling night last month which 12 people came to followed by 2/3 others who came to the pub with us afterwards.

    The plan for this month is to go for dinner and also to have a pool night.
    Check out this thread Feb Boards Meet up for this months event ( I create a new thread every month).


    As I am not the owner of this thread I cannot tell you how active / good it is however all are welcome to partake in anything I organise :)

    I've noticed a lot of people say "I'd be into doing anything" but nothing ever gets organised! I'm like a few other posters on here, no social life, no real friends to speak of but I want to start meeting people. I went on the recent bowling trip, which was a great night and then the cinema trip last week, which was also good. I just wish there were more events 'organised'.

    With that in mind, I propose a swimming trip tomorrow at 14:00 at Mayfield pool. Now I know it's short notice, and not everyone can swim - I'm still learning - but all too often a date is organised that can be 2 - 3 weeks away, which isn't the best.

    So if anyone wants to join me for a swim (I use the term loosely!) tomorrow, get yourselves up to Mayfield pool and in the water at 14:00. I'll be wearing a bright yellow swim hat, a pair of black Aquasphere knee length trunks and a pair of Zoggs goggles. So there. :D

    I think a lot of it is that people are new so dont want to come across to pushy. I've only met a few people here a couple of times. Also it is hard to try to find activities that everybody is interested in.

    As we are coming into spring now hopefully we could get some outdoor activities going on. I've been looking up walking tours around Cork or even if there was someone on here that had a good knowledge of good walks around the city. Hopefully we could get some kind of interest in that sort of thing.

    I'm wondering if it is still on the go. I have just moved to Cork and I want to get to know the business community. Might be good to setup a Professional Networking group. I have a few ideas.

    Hi guys

    Sorry, I have got very lazy - the group grew to a good size, so I haven't been as actively posting. I may have to hang my hat and pass the baton one of these days, as it's running nearly 3 years now.

    Anyway, I'll get back to all the PM's now. Next get together will be Thursday, May 6th.

    Thanks for all the interest!

    Having more "social groups" geared towards a particular interest would be really nice.

    yeah, i'm new to Cork and I'm finding it hard to meet people to go on nights out with and stuff.

    Finding hard to locate social groups where new people to the city can get involved and meet other newbies and locals.

    Hi ryano77,

    The group that this thread is for has been inactive for a long time (hence the lack of posts here) however we often organise events in Cork (check out the September meetup thread for this months things).

    We often go to the cinema, drinking, bowling, dinner, play pool etc. If there is anything you want to do please suggest it in the September Meetup thread (at the moment there is talk of a weekend trip to Dublin / Galway sometime).

    Hopefully see you at one of our boards meetups soon!

    It's funny to see this thread pop up again. It is the one that brought me to boards originally!!

    As far as I know the person who started this thread no longer runs any meetups. However there are plenty of meetups done directly from the Cork section on here. The next one is Thursday 23rd December.

    As for the person asking if over 40's are welcome - I think I speak for everyone when I say YES!! However please be aware that the average age of people attending would be mid/late 20's.

    Funny but kinda annoying when it is dragged up all the time as you say, all people need to do is look in the main thread to see that there is a very active group in Cork... I'm guessing google is responsible for sending people to this thread ???

    Firstly I would not put her number in a post, you never know who could see it and use it!!
    Secondly, There are many meetups and if there are any that take her fancy I would recommend posting in the thread for that month. Best of luck :)

    Hey guys

    I'm Irish, recently returning back to Cork after several years working abroad. I've just started a social network group, for those like myself returning to Cork after working away, or for anyone else who'd like to expand their social network. So far there are 10 of us, guys and gals, in the 25-40 age group.

    The idea is do something casual, meet up a pub in the city once a fortnight, and have some fun. So if you're interested in joining in, send me a PM here and I'll let you know when our next meet-up is.
