The next one is this Friday, 3rd Feb, from 8pm.

thanks, will have a look at their website. want to make new friends in sheffield, but was concerned it might be a bit like a dating agency, which is not what i am after. do you know what kind of age group attend?

No, it's not a dating agency, although I'm sure that they will have a few members that have ended up hitched.

They cater for a wide age range, and target some of there events at particular age groups.
