There's no clubs in Taunton - the nearest is Exeter.
And rather than wait for invites have you considered posting a meet or sending some messages out?
Waiting probably won't get you anywhere.

Lol.
Oh well.
Culture
The locals refer to the area as the Shire, and on leaving the town Taunton ex-pats are known as Hobbits, not men. The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings were in fact documentaries based on the adventures of four Tauntonians who hitch-hiked to London Village.
Taunton is known for its significant lack of Cider drinkers and the worst night clubs outside of Slough.
Taunton's nearest rival is another town called Bridgwater, as you can see by the misspelling of the town's name there may be some base to this.
However Bridgwater holds the largest fair and Night Time Carnival in the area and the rivalry may just be due to jealousy.
The most popular hobbies listed in Taunton according to the 2001 Census are Drinking and Sex, although theoretically the latter can be practiced without the former it is not widely recommended or practiced.
Attractions:
The almost annual burning of the thatched Leper House east of the town centre, this has become less popular in recent years, possibly due to the large thatched pub around the corner built as a potential-arsonists' diversionary inebriation-trap.
The Not As Big As Brigwater's Night Time Carnival which takes place in October. This sacred event allows the weirder people of Taunton to stand in the freezing cold for two hours laughing and pointing at the more normal people of Somerset attached by bits of twine to wobbly platforms stuck onto large trailers covered with vast arrays of light bulbs being pulled by a tractor.
Some actually believe that it is merely a coincidence that the fields that surround the town are filled with Magic Mushrooms at this time.
The most notable addition to Tauntons portfolio is the "pop-up" urinal, which periodically emerges from its sewer, in the middle of the town centre, to accept urine from various d*unken midnight wanderers, who just need that breezy feeling.
Food:
Taunton claims to be the first town to have created the great innovation that is cheesy chips. Many towns may think that they came up with it first but the locals know the truth.
Taunton is also the home of Takeaway Alley, also known as Station Road... which surprisingly in Somerset actually has a Station on it for rapid exits.
Taunton is also has to two Subways and it is thought that if you go into the cellar of one, you could come back up the other via a small train the runs underground.
It is privileged to have to the Hot Sausage Company which charges nearly £3 for a sausage (well.. what did you expect it to sell?).
Famous customers include Elton John, Matt Lucas, Graham Norton and Cliff Richard - all of whom enjoy their sausage. |
