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:

We wouldn't have the community we do without their efforts and their passion! Feel free to reach out to them, they're always quite happy to help guide and support 😊

Hello @hihellohey it's lovely to meet you!

@BlackRosemary50 it's been a bit cold and miserable hasn't it? It's raining here for me today, with brief moments of sun before going back to the gloomy rain. Definitely an indoor day today!

Hello Forums friends! I hope you're all keeping nice and warm on this winter day!

I wanted to take a moment to welcome some of our newest members who have joined us recently. A big forums welcome to:

It's great to have you all here! Please feel free to stop by and say hello, introduce yourself, maybe let us know how you're keeping warm. I'll go first: I'm wrapped in a blanket with my very warm little dog taking a nap on my lap which is very cosy, I might have to make myself a cup of tea too to add to the cosiness ☕

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

Hello @MacCheese @Belinda8 it's great to meet you both!

Luckily I got in a short but brisk walk earlier in the day when there was a bit of a gap in the rain, it gets quite difficult in the winter months doesn't it?

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

First time poster, I am shocking with forums! But I was recommended to use this.

I feel no matter how much I try, it is so hard to make friends.

I am in my late 20s, have a great job and I am very sociable, but it's like it is not enough.
