New to Carrigaline area and looking for new mates

moveover

Hi all,
I have just moved to Carrigaline. I do not know anybody and I was hoping that someone here might have some suggestions as to how I might make a few new buddies in the area. I am male, 32 and married. I am not into sport (which seems to be the 'big thing' in the area) or heavy drinking. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks for this.

A few things that spring to mind are.

1. Barbershop singing. There is male group called The Polyphonics who operate out in and around Carrigaline: https://www.facebook.com/ThePolyphonicsCork

2. There are Trad sessions in the Stables on a Monday night I think. No need to drink, just join in the seisuin.

3. Twinning Committees. Carrigaline has a French Twinning committee and a new German one as well I think.

4. If you are religious, the Catholic Church folk group are always looking for members.

5. While you arent sporty, the Tennis club are always very inviting to newbies.

6. Study the horses and sit in Cogan's Bar.

7. Carrigaline recently opened a new snooker hall. Call in and see if you can organise matches . Snooker isnt a sport, no matter what they tell you ;-)

8. I think an acting club still exists.

Maybe get crewing on some boats racing out of Crosshaven, while technically it is a sport you get to yacht around the harbour, meet new people and have a new activity to do a couple of days a week.

Thanks for the replies guys. All great ideas. I guess I was just looking for someone to go for a few scoops or a jog and have a chat. You have given me some great ideas, though. Thanks for that.
