Just moved to Slough and feeling a bit lost!
As the title suggests, I’m new here and trying to figure out what to do. I’m a young guy and it seems like there aren’t many activities around.
My coworkers are great, but they’re a bit older and not really into socializing outside of work.
I’m a bit of a nerd and a geek, and I also enjoy fitness.
Where can I go to meet new people and explore my interests? Is there a board game club I should check out? Any recommendations for martial arts classes? I’d love to hear your ideas!
Thanks in advance!
