    Hi all, I've been living here for some time now and I have made a few friends which are great but all married with children. We don't have many social outings due to them needing sitters. I am looking to meet single people male & female without it being a dating site. :rolleyes: Anyone know of any clubs where you can go? Being a single female it's not as though I can just walk in a pub and sit there. Any suggestions would be great. :)

    Hi Sarah,
    A group of boards users in Mullingar (including myself) organised meetups a year or two ago.
    We only had a few meetups but then the group petered out & the meetups ended.
    We went out for drinks, to the cinema and to the Rock and Bowl bowling alley.
    You can see the meetups thread a few pages back on this forum.

    If you were to organise meetups i would be interested in coming along.

    Maybe you could suggest activities and if a few people were interested then we could agree on a date.
    Perhaps the greyhound stadium, kilbeggan racecourse meeting, bowling, nite out in pub, meet for coffee etc.
    Maybe a few of the people who went to the previous meetups might even come along.

    Me and my wife would be interested in this too. We are in the same boat. Been here a few years but don't know too many.

    I run a craft club in Mullingar every Wed evening where we meet up and share ideas on all things Creative...anything from card making, crochet, knitting, jewellery making....to name but a few!
    Most importantly we have a chat, a giggle and of course, a cuppa!
    If interested please send me a message. Cheers...

    No we didn't meet up.

    I'd like to make a suggestion.
    How about a few of us meeting up for a coffee sometime as an initial meeting to get introduced and to discuss future events?

    Send me a PM or reply on this thread if any of u are interested.

    Maybe some weekend might be best as I imagine most people have to work during the week (me and my wife included).

    I'm going to suggest a meet-up in a coffee shop on Saturday 8th of February .
    Hopfully a few people will agree to come along over the next week or so.
