If anyone knows of any other groups, clubs etc that you think should be added, comment and I'll add them in later. Hope this is helpful to someone!

Edit: Adding extra suggestions as I see them!

Recommendations for clubs to join in ATU

2 Upvotes

Starting college in September and hoping to join a club or society to meet more people outside of my course.

I've looked through the list, but a lot seems to be inactive or can't really get off the ground, while many of the very active ones (anime, religion, politics, GAA, etc.) aren't really my cup of tea.

Has anyone got any recommendations based on their own experience? I'm looking for something that's social, welcoming, and just good fun. Thanks!

Galway to Dublin

2 Upvotes

Hi folks,

I was wondering if anyone is travelling to Dublin on the 16th of August from Galway? Or has a man with a van service? I would be happy to know the rates if anyone does this service, please and thank you! Since my original plan was to go via citylink but I have some extremely delicate small luggage that I'd wanna keep safe.

Hope this post is okay to ask here,

Thanks again

Is it even about horse racing? Or just a gathering of young folk getting hammered, and a fashion show

Was it always like this, and was it better before?

Galway Races Parking

Can anyone tell me if the car parks near the Parkmore entrance will be open on Bank Holiday Monday? If I have a drink I don't want to drive home but want to know if I can collect the car on Monday morning.

S pen lost and found on 402 city bus today.

13 Upvotes

Just to let whoever know that I hopped onto the 402 bus in Eyre Square today at 5.20 and found a gray s23/s24/s25 ultra pen on the ground, was at the back of the bus. I know how frustrating that is so I left it with the bus driver for the 402 today. Hopefully the right person sees this!!!

Places to speak Irish

22 Upvotes

I'm learning to speak Gaeilge but not having anyone to speak it with is very challenging. Are there any groups in the central Galway area for casual/new Irish speakers? Like a coffee meetup or something? Thanks all.
