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!

How is the week going for all of you? Is it a busy week or a slower one?

I'm having a busy week with week, thankfully it's busy with mostly enjoyable things, but even so I've been struggling to stop and take a breath so this is my reminder to myself (and any of you if you need it) to just stop for a minute and take a breath

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

ooh lovely @Shaz51

I'm having a bit of frantic day today, just getting everything ready for my camping trip over the weekend. I've got a long list of things to do when I finish work, but it's okay I'll be relaxing this time tomorrow!

It's raining here but luckily I got all my washing in before it started 😅

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

Ohh camping @Ru-bee for the weekend, wonderful

How far are you going ?

Tents or caravan?😊

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

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

Pretty far @Shaz51! We're taking our tents and flying to the red center, so excited! I hope I'll get some cool photos of lizards to show when I get back 😄

With that I'm off for the evening, I hope you and everyone here has a lovely weekend!

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

Oooh lucky ducky @Ru-bee!!

Heya @Shaz51 yay tags! I have been to the red centre too!! I was only 6 though so I don't remember a lot! I do remember it was back before they sealed off Uluru, and we were off to climb it. We'd heard about a particular point that was colloquially known as 'chicken rock' cos you'd be a chicken if you didn't go further than it. Well, whilst the rest of the family went powering on ahead, my mum n I were a lil wobbly on the steep ascent - to the point we didn't even make it to the chicken rock!! We joked that we'd only made it to the turkey rock so we must be turkeys instead 🤣

Nowadays I'm grateful we didn't make it up the whole way!! I mean no guilt in not knowing, but I think I still would have felt ick knowing what I do now.

Where abouts did you go?
