Setting up a meet-up group for anyone that has lived overseas and returned back to live Ireland so we can make new connections!

Hi there! The Galway Social Club was initially set up in 2011 for people in Galway to meet likeminded new friends and acquaintances for social events and activities, this is still at the core of what we do. In addition, we help support local charities and keep our members up to date with local events and concerns. All residents, visitors, followers and fans of Galway are welcome to join our club. We hold a wide range of social, cultural and sporting get-togethers throughout the year. Galway is one of the best cities in the world for choice with its rich entertainment and culture and we intend to keep it that way. It’s never been so important to be social in an increasingly online world, and nothing beats meeting up in person, sharing conversation, experiences, and laughter, so why not take part, get involved, come and join us on a night out, or a daytime event, and maybe even host or promote a cause or event of your own. \*\ * *Here's a list of some of our activities:* • Nights out • Day trips • Seasonal celebrations • Arts festivals • Music events • Dinner events • Interest groups • Walks and hikes • Sports events • Charity events • Talks, educational \ *Events and hosting* Check out the calendar of events and simply RSVP to the ones that interest you most.

The purpose of this group is to meet new people and friends for life. I saw that not many meet up groups in Kerry so decided to set this up. I also do bit organising with Cork Outdoorsy group. So first of all what kind of events will I be putting on? I will be putting on lot of outdoor activities such as hiking, wild camping, weekends away surfing and watersport activities. We will put on day trips away and even foreign trips when is covid is gone. I be setting up few nights of soccer two around Killarney and Tralee. We also doing a lot of indoor stuff as well such as quiz nights, social night out, meal outs and even catch up over coffee and tea. Hiking Disclaimer: by attending walks you agree with the following you agree that you participate in the walks completely at your own risk. you acknowledge that if you have a health issue, it is your responsibility and yours alone, to take appropriate steps in safeguarding yourself. you fully understand that, like mountain sports and other such outdoor activities, hill walking is a dangerous sport with a risk of personal injury or death and that you walk at you own risk, and you accept these risks and are responsible for your own actions and involvement. you understand that if you want insurance, you must insure yourself. You understand that the Kerry social group do not recognise any liability for injury or damage caused to, or by, walkers, climbers, third parties or property arising from such persons. You understand that if any member, including yourself, helps others, for example by advising a route, showing the way, reading a map or SatNav/GPS, helping others over fences, steep or rough terrain, streams or such obstacles, or making suggestions, that does not incur or amply any responsibility on that member. It is only yourself who is responsible for yourself in any such interactions. you have read and understood and agree to this disclaimer with its general principle that you understand that nobody else is responsible for you and you are not responsible for anyone else. Social events The person will have the final call who are allowed to come. When they is a social event on everyone will have to organise there own way back home. The organiser will not organise a taxi for you. If rsvp to event you need to keep contact with the organiser specially if its a meal going on. Restaurants only can take small numbers and would need your order if its a big group of people failing to communicate with the organiser will be put down on not going list. Again the organiser has the final say on social events. They are there to be enjoyed and make good memories.
