Some pics from last nights games - We had tables playing Cosmic Encounters, sheriff of Nottingham, Magic Maze, Flip 7 & Heat!

Galway Board Games is a community for adults who enjoy modern board games, meeting regularly in Galway since 2019. We typically have 15–25 people at each meetup, playing a huge variety of games from our personal collections.

You don't need to be an experienced player or have a collection of your own. New to modern board games? That's fine. There are always people around to explain a game, and plenty of games to choose from.

You also don't need to arrive with a group. Come on your own, join a game already in progress, or bring something you'd like to play.

No experience required. No collection required. Just turn up and play.

Game nights are Tuesdays - register here on Meetup to attend the next one: https://www.meetup.com/galwaycitysocial/events/316901933/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=226906998

Playgrounds

33 Upvotes

One little thing that is really annoying me with playgrounds lately is the fact that families never close and lock the gates when they're leaving. It's one thing if it was the kids doing it but no, the parents don't seem to give a crap either. I'm a parent to an autistic child who is an extreme flight risk, he can be right beside you one second and in full flight the next and is incredibly fast too so he can make it towards an open gate in an instant. It's really not that hard to close a gate after you and be a bit more considerate for other users. What would be even better would be self closing/latching gates but then that would make entering more difficult for buggy/stroller/wheelchair users so the easiest option is to just close the gates when you're done!

Feel free to DM me and I can put you in contact with the landlord. Cheers!

Hey guys, I'm a 21 F and I'm planning to join the university of galway for masters in biomedical science. I'm planning on choosing the 2 year course since it's shown that internships take place around the second year. I just wanted to inquire how the internship process takes place and is the university of galway worth it for science and research programmes?

Looking for a room to rent in Galway City/Suburbs/Oranmore

0 Upvotes

Hi All,

We have a new person joining our company here in Galway and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a vacant room to rent in Galway city or the surrounding areas?

I'm a bit lost on where to look for advertisements too, like on Daft it seems like all the ads are for full properties to rent but this person is just looking for a room. Where would ye be looking for single room ads?

She is in her early twenties, recently graduated from university. Any help or advice would be appreciated thanks.
