    Hi, I am trying to find social clubs or events in my area of Enniskerry because I would love to meet new people my age to do indoor or outdoor activities. I grew up in Greystones so if anybody knows of any clubs in Greystones or either Bray please let me know !

    Look forward to hearing from men and women that are in Clubs themselves or are like me that want to join one and meet new people.

    Thanks

    Julie

    I dont know any clubs in Bray/Graystones area, but the Wicklow Mountains Kayak club is based around the Laragh/Glendalough area or if it's handier just head up the M50 to Wild Water Kayak Club, which is on the Strawberry beds, near Chapelizod.

    Deep Blue Sea Kayak - based in Kilmacanogue.
    Good mix of people there - usually meet quite regularly in The Club, Dalkey.

    Might be worth a try.

    Deep Blue Sea Kayaking is'nt a club. It's a course and equipment provider run by a chap called Des Keaney. He is however involved with the East Coast Sea Kayaking club who run meets out of Dalkey/Bray and occasionally northside. PM me if you'd like details.

    Me too - just need to get my subs in.

    Deep Blue though is how I got into it all though - took their 2 day weekend beginners course. Quite a few dropped out after the 1st day. But those that stayed with it really enjoyed it.

    There are other groups offering training around the place as well.

    www.deepblueseakayaking.com - Des is the name of the guy who runs them.

    Yup - quite a good mix.
    My OH does it too.

    Des also has some female instructors - but it depends who is free on the day.

    Have to say everyone I have met has been really nice, just wish I lived closer so I could get out more. The social evenings and AGMs that I have made it to have been good - but to be honest - I don't cope too well in crowds. All the same - everyone has always made me feel welcome. Both in the training classes and the club meets.

    Good mix of ages, skills etc - it is cool really - each trip I have talked to different people, some real varied interests, and on top of all that just a few minutes from a city you are in a wilderness, surrounded by seals, porpoises etc.
