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

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.

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…

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!).

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 :joy:

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 :muscle:

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

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!

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! :laughing:

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

Hello,
Also been here a couple of years but keen to meet people locally. Wine tasting at 161 is on my to do list (bf doesnt drink wine!) Afraid next couple of weekends are busy. Hope find a date that suits lots of people! Not fussed on venue hence not voted.

Hi all - I’ve recently moved to Forest Hill with my partner (we’re aged in our 20s and 30s) and would love to get to know some people locally, especially as I work from home. The book club sounds interesting, as does meeting up for a drink! We’d also be interested in language exchanges, as my partner is Italian and I’m a French translator. Hopefully we’ll meet some of you soon :slight_smile:
