    Hey everyone, over the last while Ive noticed my social circle has decreased due to a number of factors....work, people moving away, people finding partners etc..

    Im just looking for some ideas to meet some new people, join a group, volunteer, take up an evening course, anything really to increase my social circle! Im a male in my mid-late 20's, if that helps.

    Cheers for the advice in advance!

    Had joined the gym during the winter months mainly for treadmill work and had enjoyed running and had planned to take it up a notch in the spring/summer months coffee fueled, but ended up with a foot injury that kept reoccurring so running is a no go at the min unfortunately! Was not happy at all!

    Try cycling, lower impact than running, plenty of cycling clubs in Sligo, if you're looking that helps with fitness as well as meeting new people.

    There's loads of sports clubs you could join depending on preference.

    It that's not your thing, how about the Sligo mens shed?

    Volunteer wise
    Sligo Tidy Towns
    Samaritans
    Simon Community

    and as mentioned above, Rennafix, who hold great local events that are sure to attract people in your age category.
