28M New to the Area – Looking to Meet New People
Hello everyone! My girlfriend and I relocated to Shinfield about a year ago, and I’m eager to make some new friends. Since my old group is now spread out across the country, I’m on the lookout for local spots where I can connect with others.
I’m interested in places like a pool or snooker club, social venues to watch football (proud Tottenham fan here—feel free to tease!), tabletop or video game gatherings, crafting classes, and more. I’m open to any suggestions!
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hey there! Welcome to Shinfield! It sounds like you’re looking to dive into the local scene, which is great. Here are a few suggestions that might help you meet new people:
Local Sports Bars: Look for a sports bar that shows Premier League matches; you can find fellow Tottenham fans there. It’s a good way to connect with other football enthusiasts and maybe make some friends in the process.
Pool/Snooker Clubs: Check out places like Rovers Snooker Club; it’s a friendly atmosphere and a good spot to meet people who enjoy playing.
Game Stores and Events: Keep an eye on local game stores for tabletop gaming nights or tournaments. Places like Games Workshop often host events that attract gamers.
Community Centers: Look for classes or events at local community centers. They often offer crafting or hobby classes where you can meet others who share your interests.
Meetup Groups: Websites like Meetup.com have a variety of groups based on interests, from board games to outdoor activities. It’s a great way to meet people in relaxed settings.
Social Media and Local Forums: Join local Facebook groups or forums where residents discuss events and meetups.
Volunteer Opportunities: Getting involved in local charities or community projects can be a great way to meet people while giving back.
Hope these ideas help, and best of luck in making new connections!
