Thank ya kindly

You could join one of the local cycling clubs.

Also, WIT will be starting new evening courses shortly. That might be a good way. A lot of the courses aren't particularly academic, such as cookery type thingys.

As far as I know there are three cycling clubs, and at least one has members more interested in general fitness than competition. If you are self concious about lycra then mountain bike clothes are generally more baggy. They come up cheap in lidl and aldi a couple of times a year.

I've never been in a cycling club, but cycling wouldn't lend itself to sociability in the same way that hiking does; its hard to have a conversation while cycling. That said, I'm sure they have a chat before and after a cycle.


I suppose language courses in WIT are the most sociable, as you have to talk to people.

There's regular beers from here and also a cinema club too, I haven't gone to either yet but they're both on my to do list. Both open to newbies I believe (I hope!)

OoOoOoOh niiiice! I'd be up for those :D:D:D:D

Yep we're due both soon actually and new people are actively encouraged to come along. The cinema club meets have between 5 and 10 people and the beers a small few more on occasion. Both are great fun and everyone is very nice.

hey guys,

I'm in the same boat. Went to college in waterford, moved away for the last couple years and now recently i'm back. Most people have moved on so looking to meet new people and perhaps take up some new hobbies!

Don't drink that much so if there was another sort of meet up would love it. anyone know any good sites with a list of hobby classes aswell?

thanks

Same problem, but joining the kingfisher won't really help as most people stick to themselves. I can barely breath let alone talk after a run!

why not try giving dodgeball a go, this Wednesday 20:00 waterpark school gym, €5 for an hour. as its off season, no full teams attend so everyone mixes up and plays. it has a good social side to it also.

Hi is this thread still active?

..Brian..

Anyone interested in Archery? Na Laoch Dall Archery Training Centre are based in the Waterford Business Park out the Cork road behind John Kelly Opel Dealership. We're up there Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7 - 10ish. We have the biggest indoor range in Europe! Also we have our own private woods out by the airport also that we regularly go out to and host competitions for archers all over the country. A very social sport with members aging from 7 to 70 years old!

Or if martial arts/fitness is more interesting to you why not come up for a look at the Black Eagle Dojo in the same Waterford Business Park out the Cork road behind John Kelly Opel Dealership. We have Sin Moo Hapkido 4 nights a week for adults, teenagers and kids. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu twice a week and a womens self-defense class also!
