    Hey everyone, 22 female here born and bred in Wex. So was just wondering whats the best way of meeting new people in Wexford male and female. Most of my close friends are after leaving and I am looking to get to know new people. Not really good at sports so joining sports clubs probably wouldn't be the best thing. Thanks :)

    Aside from the obvious one, go pubbing, maybe try a non-sport voluntary organisation like the Order of Malta (disclaimer; I'm involved with them so can help you out there) or Civil Defence maybe, or similar. Is there a hobby club that interests you about? If you think you might be into drama, the Oyster Lane Theatre Company, Wexford Light Opera, Wexford Drama Group and Wexford Pantomime Society (I can help with contacts for all of these) encourage new members. You don't have to go on stage they have backstage roles as well. As do the Wexford Festival Opera who are always looking for volunteers (I can guide you in the right direction there, too). Just a few suggestions.

    Any more for any more lads and lassies? There's loads of stuff I haven't included.

    Wexford can be a tough place to get to know people, I'd second the voluntary group, or maybe one of the walking groups.

    it's hard to make friends from stranger type of relationship..

    I'm a believer or making friends of friend where the opportunity exist..

    Can your existing friends introduce another friend from their circle that you haven't met or known prior?

    just a suggestion.. good luck

    Some of us have been away for a while, I found that when i returned to wexford last year all of my friends had moved away.

    Also I don't particularly enjoy the pub scene as its expensive and you are usually dependant on others for transportation

    There's some great restaurants in town, if we got a group of maybe six or more we could book a big table. If would be like come dine with me, except in somebody else house!

    Sure keep an eye on this thread :), and let me know what dates/times suit, and I'll cobble something together. (we have one vote for evenings so far)

    So I'm going to suggest the Potato market some reviews here on trip adviser.

    Ah it won't be awkward, I'll just bladder on if need be :)

    I'm the big 30, but I don't think it matters much! It's only a bite to eat.

    Anyway got a little bit of bad news today and this thread has already cheered me up!

    So what about a thursday or friday around 7?

    I wish I had stumbled upon this post earlier. I would love to meet some people in Wexford, moved back last month and finding it hard to meet people.
