Making friends in the city

ASmurf

Hi,

-I'm new to boards.ie so think I posted this in the wrong section -Thanks El Drago!

I've just moved to Galway for work. I'm working with great people, but they're a little bit older than me! so I'd love to meet some new people to hang out with.

I'm a female in my early twenties and I'm missing my girlie nights out!

I plan on joining clubs etc. just thought I'd post something on here aswell.

Cheers

There's always the Book Club if you fancy a relaxed drink and a bit of chat! By the look of it though I don't think theres another boards meet up planned before the big C. Maybe you could post on the skills-swap?

I know what its like though, moving to an office with a huge age gap, it can be fierce rough on the nerves.

Cheers for the comment Ladhrann and sorry for awful lack of reply until now -clearly I'm very new to Boards!

Book club and skills swap definitely sound like good ideas, must look into them thanks.

Any chance anyone might be up for a boards meet up e.g. beers or whatever, to start off the new year?!

I'm planning on being bored this afternoon/evening.

I might find myself quite bored during the week, if anyone is interested for a few beers then?

Does that imply you might turn up to something for a change? :P

Book club meets tomorrow in the Cottage in Salthill. Drinking/Not-drinking encouraged or dissuaded as needed. Turn up if you've heard of James Joyce, or Joe Joyce or Pat Joyce or one of them, there's a lot of joyces in Galway.

Lets see what comes of this.......

I'm heading (back) to Galway to live as I just got a new job there. I'm a single guy 40ish who doesn't drink. I have a few very good friends in Galway but I'd love to meet up with preferably women. I hasten to add, I am not looking for romance, I'm looking for someone into cycling, walks with the dog, socilaising with others, that sort a thing. Male or female is cool but Ive always loved the idea of having a female friend or two.

So Que Sera, Sera, bit shy posting this, never thought I would but new job, new move and all that makes me feel a bit energised, out with old, in with new what have ya. If nothing comes of it, so be it.


....must love dogs;)

Yeah, just in case you're not aware, the Ladies Lounge has a private forum where they organize meet-ups. You should try contacting mods over there for access.

Been in Galway 5 years now, and I can't see myself living anywhere else in Ireland because there are so many cool things going on all the time. We're a bit spoilt.

Btw dnme - if you're a non-drinker there are plenty of cool events in Galway:
- Dance co-op on Wednesday nights (school next door to Town hall theatre, you don't need to be able to dance, it's more movement)
- Laughter yoga on Wednesdays (Spirit centre), lots of craic
- Tribal spirit drumming on Friday nights (school opposite to Cookes thatched pub)
- Tranisition towns meetings on Sundays (permaculture and sustainable living)
- Tai chi and movement classes

Also various Spirit centre workshops / parties (check facebook page), it's a cool space.

From the list Dagon, I'll hazard a guess that you're female
Thanks for the mention all the same. I'll be grand, I got the camera club, I'll join a few other things, maybe scuba, sailing and there's a great cycling club. You're right about Galway, I recently did a 2 yr stint at NUIG. Love the place.

One of my friends told me to put female looking for female on a free dating site and specify that you are looking for friends in Galway.. However its not working out too well! I really want to meet some girls around my age (25) to go for dinner, drinks, running etc. Im not from Galway but have been here over a year. If anyone is organising any event I would def like to be involved! Muchos gracias!

Edit: Not a lesbian, have a boyfriend! lol
