    Has anyone else spotted the signs around town? At all the major roundabouts coming in from Oranmore right up to the Ardilaun Hotel directing people to the reception and then back out of town again!

    There are big yellow arrows indicating all the exits and turns they need to take too.
    It's bizarre. There's about 4 around my road alone.

    See this quite often, obliously wedding guest's are out-of-towners and the bride & groom dont want them getting lost. Sounds like good organisation to me.

    Good idea as long as they are taken down afterwards. There were some left up in my area for months and eventually I got fed up and removed them with a leatherman myself.

    Its common, especially when country churches in the middle of nowhere are involved.

    There are signs outside the Presentation primary and secondary schools saying 'Parking for Sandra and Lloyd's Wedding'. The wedding must be in St. Josephs.

    I was at a wedding a few weeks ago whereby the groom texted me Sat Nav co-ordinates for the location. God be with the old days.

    I have to say that's well organised. I even saw signs on Taylors Hill complete with traffic light symbols for those who couldn't even follow simple yellow arrows to the Ardilaun.

    When I first saw the yellow arrows I thought it must be a major movie production.

    Well done, Sandra and Lloyd, every happiness!

    A bit OTT tbh. How frickin' hard can it be to get from St. Josephs (Pres for parking) to the Ardilaun hotel?

    Fair play to them and all, but it'd prob have been cheaper to give the drivers a few Sat Nav's :pac:

    Hope the Council tracks them down and fines them for each illegally erected sign.

    Lighten up a bit ffs. So long as they take them down I don't see the problem. That is, provided they DO take them down, otherwise i'm with you

    Where do you stop?
    Signs to the local video rental store, u-16 irish regional cooking competition, lawn-mowing competition location, bee-keepers auction, directions to dublin, a supermacs, free kittens etc.

    I work with Sandra. I dont see the need to be moaning about the signs as long as they are taken down. Her husbands family and friends are not from Galway and they were obviously trying to make it easier for them.

    What if everyone having a wedding in Galway decided to put up these signs for every weekend?

    It does seem a bit like they wanted to "advertise" that they were getting wed, but the signs were harmless. Just hope other couples don't copy them.

    Seems to me, the organisers of Galway City Marathon need to get a hold of Sandra and Lloyd and get them to put a decent traffic management plan together for them so people can run next year........

    These signs have been used for yonks in country areas. They're almost as common as roadside bonfires to welcome the couple home.
