QueerSpace Trip to Galway

Friday, 17th - Sunday 19th October, leaving 2 p.m.

QueerSpace is taking a trip to Galway, and you're invited!

24 beds have been reserved in the Barnacles hostel in Galway City for the weekend of 17th-19th October. One of those beds could be yours. Two nights at the Barnacles will set you back €40 (roughly £30). If enough people are interested, we're also planning to hire a coach to take us down: this could add up to £20 to the trip, but it could prove a cheap way of getting there, not to mention the fun of a bus full of fellow travellers.

If you're interested we need a deposit of £20. The deadline to change our reservations is 5th October, so please let us know that you're interested and pay us your deposit by that date. Spaces are reserved on a first come first served basis, but if enough interest is shown, we can reserve more beds.

All of our past trips, to Galway, Sligo and Amsterdam (twice) have been great fun. You can find photos from those trips here. Don't miss out on this opportunity--your enjoyment is all but guaranteed!

For more information or to find out how to pay your deposit and make a reservation, e-mail QueerSpace.

It meets last Sunday of every month at a child-friendly location, to give the kids the chance to meet and play together with other kids in similar situations, and the mothers a chance to catch up, have a chat, make new friends and exchange ideas.
