If it's an active social life that you are after, then crazymazy would be your guy! He normally organises our weekly drinking sessions/ nights out. Forum members are also meeting at Irish Village this Thurday, so that might be a good place to start!

You'll make friends in no time; we're all in the same boat so tend to be a lot more friendly than we would normally be back home. I've met some really nice people on this forum!

Elphaba is organising the meet at Irish Village, so you could PM her for a phone number (after you've made 5 postings!). You're welcome to PM me for a number as well if you like. There is a sticky at the top of the page with more info in it!

See you Thursday!

Hi and welcome to the forum,

PM me your number and I will text you back. Always good to meet new people and as Maz said we're all in the same boat (or we were when we first came) so promise we won't bite. There is also a Facebook page as well.
