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!

Hi everyone, I am taken aback by the honesty and difficulty I see/read in the posts, some stay with me

So I was surprised to see such a lighthearted welcome post.

I am pleased though, as it seems on reflection, right and proper.

My weekend was quiet, I am learning Arabic, quite a struggle believe me. Of late my exercise has fallen off and this concerns me as the black dog loves a stationary target.

It is important to me to get out and meet the day like your welcome post talks about.

Keep well everyone, Sooth

Hey @Shaz51 having a busy morning, but in a good way. Trying to get back into running so I squeezed in what was meant to be a very short one before work but I underestimated how slow I would be 😂 so ended up being in a rush when I got home.

Time for a second coffee I think, care to join me? ☕☕

How has your morning been so far?

Hi I have finally come out of the darkness of a deep depression. My new medication is working. It has been a long nine months including ect. I have a riding lesson on my beautiful horse Ked. I have got my motivation back to ride.
I hope everyone is having a good day.

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

What a beautiful update to share @Bettyboop2 I'm so pleased that you're really noticing a difference and getting that motivation back. And I can just imagine how positive riding will be for your continued recovery, horses are so amazing and time with them can be healing I think.

Are you having that riding lesson today?
