Just wondering because Saturday and Sunday doesn't seem to be a good time.

Just wondering because Saturday and Sunday doesn't seem to be a good time.

there are lots of differant people who arrange lots of differant meets theres walking meets, child freindly meets at brewsters, dog walking meets, pub meets, club meets, dinner meets ect ect ect you just have to go in the going out section and have a look for them :thumbsup:


allthough due to the run up to christmas meetsdo tend to slow down

I do meets, but mine tend to be specific ones : eg : gay meets which is in my signature, and are on Saturdays, apart from the ones in my signature which are during the week, but then I am off that week anyway.

As Katy says there are loads of different meets : Mah Jong meets, and Invisible PM meets which also go ahead.

you know peter its really rarther amazing the amounts of meet ups that go on in this place:)

There does seem to be alot of meets going on in this forum. I suppose its a case of deciding which one to go to and wheather you can attend. Me personally i like Saturday meets, mainly cause you get a chance to have a pub meet and then on to a club. I realise there are clubs going on during the week, but most people i think, usually go out on a Saturday night.

i was only saying to a friend of mine last night after a night out with our hubbies we need a lively night out so suggested we do the rounds of the lively gay pubs/clubs as i havent done so for years and miss the mischief. as i am quite new to the forum never been on one of these meets so wont know who to look out for for but we will definately be there!!!

I am abit wary about going on a meet when i don't know anyone, its mainly because i wouldn't know who to look for and wouldn't wanna look silly sitting in the pub on my own, wondering if anyone is there or not.
Altho i'd like to try one of these meets sometime to see what they are like.

All you have to do is choose a date, time and place, post it in the going out section and then sit back and wait for replies ... easy peasy! or so it would seem ... having arranged "unofficial" meets in the past, sometimes it can get a little more complicated :)

But there are lots of special interest unofficial meets going on all the time as well as straightforward general in the pub anyone turns up meets. You'd probably find something you'd enjoy.

People who go to meets from here are usually open, friendly, sociable types ... unlike some of the ones who seem to prefer to live their lives from behind a screen!

I think i may just do that, as i am trying to arrange a meet. Will probably do it when a starting place is sorted.

Check the meet one out in my signature coming up in October, although no one has posted yet I have had PM`s form people who are coming, and it is also advertised on another Forum and some coming from there.

Don`t worry about who to look out for because we always:

1 exchange mobile no`s
2 make sure we meet in a quietish pub
3 we are loud and easy to spot

I think exchanging mobile numbers is a good idea. Frankly it makes things easier and better because they is no worry then.

One thing to think about:

don`t start in a busy pub, because newbies will have problems finding you.

We have found this out in the past.

Well i am really not sure at the moment where the best place is to start, as it would probably have been the old site dove and rainbow because most people know where that is, but as that is closed and has moved most people may not know where the new pub his moved to. Can't start in s1 as i don't have a student card and i am not sure if anyone will really wanna start on west street. So it all depends on what gets arrange later on in the week. I will be posting on her to let people know, just gotta find a pub that is the best to start in.

Well from this thread, I am sure most know where the Dove and Rainbow has moved to by now :

I actually know some people who still don't know where the new place is, so it would be a problem for them.

May start in the swin inn or something like that, altho that might be abit far out of town for them.

The fountain is a good idea as a start off its a big pub and often quiet early on. I think loads of people forget about it.

Stay cool

You could always start your thread by asking where people suggest meeting!

Then, you have to (!) follow by suggesting that anyone interested PM's you, so you can exchange mobi numbers.

That used to work really well for the earlier forum meets - a newbie would text someone by arrangement when they were almost outside, and the inside person would nip out and meet them, bring them in and introduce them. It's a lovely friendly way to join a group of people!
