1) if anyones interested in playing tennis? I'll hopefully be joining the kilkenny tennis club as soon as I move up so looking for a playing partner.

and 2) any suggestions for other activities to do in kilkenny city at evenings and weekends?

thanks for any help guys

I was always hoping for a boards kilkenny poker school thingy

(this from the guy who uses stay up all night in the casino in Riga, drinks free so the more u loss the more drink you ordered to balance it out)


Darren there is a new booklet thing of 100s of things to do in Kilkenny, line skating, archery , etc etc

If I remember what its called , or indeed venture outside of my hermitage, I'll get more details

hi thanks if you can find it that would be much appreciated but no worries if you can't!

ah yeah a boards meet up poker game would be class alright! We could arrange it for one of the local pub on a wkend maybe fortnightly or monthly whatever suits others really. maybe something like a €5 in if people want to play Something like that keep if friendly i wouldn't suggest much more than that cos when moneys involved it can get competitive but for just a €5 people are more likely to laugh and enjoy themselves, while it if was free no one would take the game serious and just keep going all in

have you played much yourself? I've only played in college with friends tbh and am only familiar with texas hold em myself, how about you?

also quick question
-> Kilkenny Cineplex
Fair Green, Kilkenny

is that right in kilkenny city? or a bit outside it?

I can't remember the name of the booklet of things to do in Kilkenny either but I bought (and subsequently mislaid) a copy in the newsagent's in the Market Cross.

A Kilkenny boards meet-up wouldn't be a bad idea but I'm not sure about the poker bit.

A bad owl town to move to.

If your coming to Kilkenny you'll want to stay away from McAuley Place, Horrible things go on in there

No. It was something a woman who lives in the Kilkenny area put together with lists of clubs/societies - that sort of thing in it. Unlike the Whazons, it wasn't a freebie but A5 sized. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it but recall there being a write-up in the Kilkenny People when it was launched a year or two ago.
