So we are attending our first ever social in Newport on 19th Dec and are really excited, but the nerves are creeping in! Any tips to help the nerves and have the best experience from those who have done it before? |

If your talking about the Social on the 9th, just go along and enjoy yourself. It's just a normal night out with lots of folk having fun. |

Everyone that attends are great and very friendly. A good few of us meet up in the afternoon for a few pints and something to eat. That's always a good ice breaker.
Private message us for more details if you'd like to join us.  |

When you meet everybody, try to stop thinking about their photos on here. It can be off putting to talk normally in public when you have naughty pics in your mind. |

Socials are great, good chance to put faces to names, and make some good friends.
Remember to mingle, just go round and dive into groups, introduce yourselves, get about and chat to as many people as possible. |

"Im very sociable but i wudnt knw anyone and puts me off
 "
Everyone is new at the beginning, just mail a few that are going and hook up for pre-social drinkies, then you will have somebody to walk in with.  |

I’m also a bit nervous, hoping a friend will come with me so I don’t walk in alone. Have been to lots of socials before but under my previous username and not for a couple of years now! Always enjoyed those and my last one was Newport also, and it was an awesome night, loads of lovely welcoming people |

The Newport social a couple of years ago was our first organised group social. Even though we arrived a little later into the evening, when people had settled into groups, we were still made to feel welcome and invited to join some groups.
As others have suggested, contact some of the profiles on the list and say hi. Wear something distinctive on the night and let people know in advance what that will be so they can find you. Above all, just have fun and try and start some conversations |

Its no different to going to a busy pub in a strange town.
If you are outgoing and like chatting to new people then thats all it is.
Go to the bar buy a drink and enjoy. |

Bit out of practice with this as well, hence the nerves I think! Will be fine once we get chatting I’m sure. |
