Just moved to Slough and feeling a bit lost
As the title suggests, I’m new to Slough and haven’t found much to do yet.
I’m a young guy looking for activities and places to explore. My coworkers are great, but they’re quite a bit older and don’t usually hang out after work.
I’m into nerdy stuff, gaming, and staying fit.
Where should I go to meet new people? Is there a local board game society? Any good martial arts clubs I should check out? I’d love any suggestions you have!
Thanks in advance!
