Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Here's today's newest forumites:

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

That sounds delicious @Shaz51 @Happychick I'm a coffee lover too

We ran out of coffee yesterday, but luckily there's a cafe at my gym so I bought myself one as a reward for going before work. I also found some instant coffee to make myself another one at home which was okay, but I definitely need to go to the store to replenish my coffee stores tonight!

In response to: Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

@Ru-bee @Coffee is always a good reward but you don’t need a reason to have coffee just enjoy it when you can. Good to know you went to the gym exercise is always a good thing and you have to hydrate afterwards. Any excuse for a coffee is a good one
