Hobbies, activities, social clubs, what to join?

Cutie2012

Hello, I'm a 26 year old social, outgoing, smart, educated, funny, interesting woman who has recently moved to galway.. I love people, volunteering, meditation and doing nice things while keeping fit and mentally active!

I want to start joining clubs and volunteering etc to meet people and make new friends! I do have an impairment - no damn use in my right arm from the wrist down but this doesn't affect me as a person in my daily life.. But still I am eager to join sporting clubs to meet people with like minded interests! As this is a great way to connect with people.... I take a interest in Drama too, I am a good little actress

Has anybody any ideas of what I should join club wise...and also other suggestions would be very welcome

Thank you, N

The Scouts are always in need of adult volunteers! No experience necessary!

Also, I think you may have posted to the wrong board....

Hello, I have moved this to the Galway forum for you.

You can have a look at meetup.com
I was in a walking club there for a while. A great way to meet new people.

Coming up to Christmas I'm sure there are volunteer activities happening. Keep an eye on this forum

There's a 5km Parkrun in Knocknacarra every Saturday morning. It's free and run by volunteers (fellow runners), they ask runners to do their bit and volunteer to marshal every few weeks.

Have you thought about joining the Red Cross or similar? It's social and learning great skills. You'd have a meeting an evening a week and go to fun events at the weekend for medical cover. You could get in to some brilliant events for free!

We can't choose your hobbies for you!

Make a list of specific things you like doing, or would like to try. Not just "volunteering" or "sports" but specifics.

Choose one or two things from it, that you think you have time for this year. Google galway and WHATEVER-FROM-THE-LIST.

Come back to us if you have specific questions eg "is there a boxing club in Westside that meets in the evenings"

Welcome to Galway OP. You are very lucky in that there is a wealth of sports, artistic and other clubs in Galway- you are sure to find something to suit you. If you have an interest in martial arts or singing let mr know as I can point you in the right direction with those clubs.

There's a dodgeball club that meets every week in renmore community centre at 6pm on Tuesday.

There's also a board games club that meets every Monday in Seven on Bridge Street from 7 onwards.

Both are very welcoming to new people

OP I wouldn't be too worried about making friends in Galway, we're friendly people around these parts.

Well most people.
