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!

200 pieces! Wow! @Toast89 That's super impressive

I mostly just watch whoever the youtube gods suggest to me, though one who comes to mind is 'From Carly B'. They made such fun whimsical clothes, a lot of it not quite my style but I just love her enthusiasm and skill. It's been great to learn more about sewing

@Likes2chat_2 You're very welcome, how's your day going?

Hi everyone. Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to chatting with you and exploring this sight. As my user name suggests, I like to sail.

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

hey @SailorGirl !! that's a pretty cool interest to have, what got you into sailing?

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

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

An inherent love of the ocean. Its the only place I've felt like u belong since I was about 6

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

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

aww love that!! @SailorGirl the ocean is pretty amazing, really glad you find a sense of belonging there 🌊 are you a fan of other water-based activities like swimming?

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

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

Not really. I like the ability to travel and do it away from the 'madding crowds'. People are confusing and difficult. Better to be away from them and not have to try and understand the veracity of their words.

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

totally fair, sometimes its pretty overwhelming having to participate in so many social interactions. it's really nice that you've got that lil 'escape' for when you do need space. @SailorGirl do you sail by yourself then? or do you have a select few you like sailing with?
