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!

Oh dear @Alittleorange how long were you out of power?

Do you watch the cricket on the telly or do you go to the matches? I've gone through phases of watching cricket, mostly 20/20 stuff and it can be pretty entertaining stuff

@Ru-bee ,

power was out for about 5 hours, long enough for me to stroll the streets desperately seeking a breakfast coffee, if the world was ending it was not doing it without coffee.

I watch you-tube cricket highlights and think the Big Bash for 20/20 is great fun usually watching it on TV. My next trip to a game is day 3 of the boxing day test with my son, not only good entertainment but a good family day.

thanks for all you do

Alittleorange

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

Thanks @Ru-bee,

My week has been better that the last few weeks. I recently made a post and had some good responses and decided to put that advice/encouragement into action this week. Had a swim at the beach yesterday and a nice walk with a coffee by the lake today. Just focussing on getting out of the house each day, even though it feels uncomfortable. Also have been making the effort to join chat groups on FB to help with the loneliness. Gotta start somewhere.

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

Wow @C73 those sound like some really positive steps that you've taken this week! Good on you for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone a bit, you do have to start somewhere and it sounds like this was a really good start!
