Well, made it back in one piece, just about! Great weekend, here are pics of some of the sketches done. Collaborative works are at the bottom - done by Tom, Fran and myself.. while on the beer!
Dublin Sketchers get together every Sunday afternoon in Dublin to sketch. We go to a different place each week. Check here before hand to see where we are off to. Come along if you fancy it! We start sketching from 2pm and meet at 4pm for a drink and chat. We are part of the global Urban Sketchers community.

Possible indoor sketch locations in Galway
View Busker Browne's in a larger map
Dear all,
I have collected a few places where we coud stay indoors/have lunch or dinner.
The places where duly picked from the best lonelyplanet rewieved premises: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/ireland/county-galway/galway-city/restaurants
1. Busker Brownes - cafe-bar, a prime spot to catch live ragtime jazz.
2. Delight - sand witch heaven into which one comes through a hole-in-the-wall (phrasing lonelyplanet's).
3. Le journal - cafe at Spanish Arch, decorated with books.
4. Finnegan's - authentic eatery, has good customer reviews.
5. Da Tang Noodle House - anyone up for a noodle (^ ^) ?
See you soon! I'm taking the train from Hueston at 5:50.
Galway trip (in April?)
Greetings All!
I have started to put together some details regarding a possible trip to Galway this spring!
We will have 3 weekends in April, so may be we can decide which time suits best for most people:
1) 10(friday)-12(sunday)
2) 17-19
3) 24-26
There are two central hostels that seem best from the reviews.
The one that I suggest is "Sleepzone":
http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/Sleepzone-Galway-City/Galway/408
8 Bed Mixed Dorm Ensuite 22 Euro
Alternatively, Kinlay House Hostel for more or less the same price is a good choice as well, it has only one problem: it is a 223-bed hostel and children friendly.

You are welcome to suggest other hostels you like, however for most of the central hostels noise is mentioned in the reviews (some are hosting tours every day or have a night club in the same building) even though the overall rating is quite good.
There is is more information about hostels on hostelworld and lonelyplanet website:

Please vote for hostels and dates in the comments :) It is important that we decide as soon as we can because rooms are already getting booked for these dates.
We could book 8-bed or 6-bed room or 2 rooms just for ourselves depending on how many people decide to go.
