Hi, our first one was at Swansea. Hubby literally had to pull me in through the door as I was so nervous lol however he was fine. Then wen I mustered up enough courage to turn my head around and have a peek to see if we knew anyone (which we didn't). Everyone was amazing! At no point did we feel left out or excluded. We love the socials and I'm sure you will. We will look out for your name in the Cardiff one. xxxx |

I wasn't keen. I wore ridiculously high stiletto boots and was bored halfway through the night. I wouldn't do one again. However I did enjoy the masked ball loads...in various ways |

Our very first social all those many moons ago we didn't know a soul and to top it off we were having a lift there and back from someone we'd never met either, but we met some lovely people who are still 'around' now and great friends.
Our second social was what is now known as the Swansea social but was then being held in a much smaller location. And lo and behold we walked through the door and met someone we'd both known for years! But it wasn't a problem we were soon made to feel welcome and thoroughly enjoy attending socials
Little was I to know that I would end up being involved in those socials for many years and would recommend them to everyone |

i was so nervous i got hammered and then proceeded to break lots of rules in a very discrete way .however in my defence it was seasoned socialites that encouraged me to break them.but what fun i hada.bad popppy.never looked back .xx |

My first and only social in swansea-
Arranged to meet up with cj and welshie in my hotel room beforehand. Cj gave nessa and smiffy a lift in too as their car had broken down.
I found the socisl itself daunting, my +1 was d*unk and it made me on edge, spoke briefly with fire n ice and relaxed a little. I didn't feel at ease to mingle because of the +1.
The night ended in a disaster for me but not because of the social itself. Lesson learned, if you are going with a plus one, make sure they are sound!!

We were lucky in that we had been to a party before we went to a social, so we knew a couple of people, plus I (Mart) had been in chat loads.
It's very easy to forget how we felt ourselves on a first social, party, meet etc, and be a little blase about it, but the truth is everyone gets a little nervous, but people are on the whole very welcoming to newbies, and you will soon be chatting away to people like you have known them for years.

I arranged to go to the social and have a social meet at the same time we had both never been to a social and both booked the same hotel. Needless to say we used one room in the night and had a great time. Lots of friendly people and made some great friends |
