Local meet ups/clubs?

Jessie · January 30, 2019, 5:24pm

@finnac @Emily_Ray @Maxine_Hamilton Hi Ladies I am new to the area too - just moved to Honor Oak with my husband and cat, and looking to meet some friends to do things with every now and then! Did you guys meet up? What have you found that’s fun to do so far? Thanks Jessie x

Hi all ! I’m new here too - I’m 30, just started a new job and moved from Cornwall
with my boyfriend and cat (seems to be a theme) - so totally new to London life and don’t know many people ! Very keen to get some meets going or join in some volunteering /
clubs / groups if anyone wants to try any

Hi, I would also like to make some new friends in the area if there is room for one more . Late 30-ies, no cat though…

Welcome to all our new members on this topic!

Keep an eye on the SE23.life Agenda page as there’s always loads going on locally.

Hi @Jessie,
Thanks for reminding me about this, we didn’t ever get together but if people are keen then shall we try?
@Emily_Ray @Maxine_Hamilton @tashya14 @JS and indeed, anybody else too!

Full disclosure - I don’t have a cat.

Jessie · February 1, 2019, 9:40am

Sounds good! Maybe we should just arrange to go for a drink somewhere and go from there! Maybe a weeknight in Feb? I’m free any night w/c 18th…

Maxine_Hamilton · February 1, 2019, 12:47pm

I’m awful at keeping up and checking this forum but I’m definitely keen to meet up. Shall we choose an evening to meet for a wee drink - maybe in Chandos, to chat about things coming up?x

If you’d like to poll for a date everyone can make, there are some handy instructions here: How to create a poll

Now THIS thread is exactly what local forums etc. do best… hadn’t read it before but have now made notes of a few things to look and AND have signed up to the FH Soc newsletter (even though we already get the paper version!).

Leah_C · February 1, 2019, 2:23pm

Hey! Moved here from the South Coast just over a year ago. Would love to have a meet up and get to know some people locally! I don’t have cats but I do have one anti social boyfriend and two bunnies

Swagger · February 1, 2019, 2:27pm

Snap! Came up from Chichester nearly 18 months ago now.

Emily_Ray · February 2, 2019, 10:00am

Oh wow, such a great response! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all! I’m more than happy to set up a poll to see when works best for everyone - just off to Essex for the day but I’ll get to it when I get home to a laptop

Nat_Ned · February 2, 2019, 11:06am

I would be very keen for a drink at the Chandos or the Honor Oak! I’ll keep an eye out for the poll @Emily_Ray

appletree · February 2, 2019, 11:53am

This thread is SO nice. I am old enough to be your mother so not participating, but very happy to see you all connecting.

Jessie · February 2, 2019, 6:13pm

Thanks Emily! I’ll keep an eye out for the poll!

finnac · February 4, 2019, 8:29am

Emily_Ray · February 4, 2019, 10:30am

Hi Emily. Thank you for creating these polls. My husband and i would like to join too, if thats ok. We are in our early 30s and have lived in Forest Hill for 3 years. It would be great to have friends here to make our time here more worthwhile. We also really need more people to talk about our cat with too!

I will vote now.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Emily_Ray · February 4, 2019, 11:43am

Hi @anon26043310

Absolutely, everyone is more than welcome to come along, it will be great to meet you both! My boyfriend will be coming along too (as long as he’s not at work!), so it’ll be nice to get a mix of people together. Thinking we probably need to set up a separate poll for a play date for all our cats too!

And @appletree - please do feel free to pop along too The more the merrier!
