.. have just commenced a PhD,so I have little time for any more activites until the weekends.It sounds like it could be a lot of fun though...

In the process of finishing mine up at the moment - I'd advise against putting too many things off because of the PhD. It could make it a long four years..

Stench Blossoms

Yeh that's what I was asking.

I thought you were talking about renmore.... and I thought since itS 'Renmore' that it would in Renmore and that this was a new one.

Might check it out. Loved it when I was a kid.

I can confirm that Renmore Gymnastics Club meets in Racecourse Business Park, which is in Parkmore not Renmore.

No one ever said that the world was a logical place

Hi all,

I just got out of a long term relationship and realised that i actually dont have that many friends (if any) around Galway anymore.
Sad eh? ha anyway id like to meet new people, get out there and just have some fun.

I was thinking of going to the adult gymnastics classes tomorrow night out near the racecourse if anyone wants to join otherwise if there is anyone meeting up for a bit of a laugh i would be up for it.

Im a 25 yr old girl living pretty close to town so if anyone is about for a cup of tea, a movie, a run, a skate or a much needed double Captain Morgans let me know! haha

Hi primrose_lily! In a similar-ish situation too. Would be absolutely terrified to go doin gymnastics. Id need a few Morgans beforehand!
Have you done it before? Would love to hear how you get on with it though, in need of a new hobby!

nope never done it before, i might actually go next week as im so tired today, i dont think i have the energy to take it seriously but next week definitely, you should come along with me, i cant even tumble, never been able to do a handstand or cartwheel so we can be the 2 newbies.
they said it starts of pretty slow for new people and gradually get you used to things and build up strength

might be a laugh!

Stench Blossoms

Thought I replied here.

I won't be going tonight no as I've a training session already planned but I might head next week.

Loved it as a kid.

Hi! I've recently moved to just outside Galway city and am looking to meet some new people. Not sure what there is to do around - I'm interested in outdoor activities when I can stop being lzy and get out, cooking, reading, watching movies, and drinking a good glass of wine.
Is this tread for organising activities or just meeting people or both?

biko

It's for chatting generally and for organising activities.
