Southampton

Southampton Friends is a fab and friendly way to meet people in the area. If you are 18-35 years and live, study and or work in Southampton or the surrounding area and wish to expand your social life and make new friends by taking part in various activities then come and meet us one Wednesday and see what we are all about. Southampton Friends is run by its members for its members and is not-for-profit. We have 32 members from all sorts of backgrounds and professions.

We meet most Wednesdays at the Slug & Lettuce bar in Southampton fondly called our Club Night for a chilled out drink and chat. On the last week of the month we meet on a Thursday for our "Play Away" Club Night where we visit on rotation various cocktail/vodka bars and restaurants taking advantage of 2-4-1 offers in the city.

We have a fabulous calendar of events and our principle ethos is to have fun! We get up to all sorts from pubs, meals, clubs, comedy, theatre, cinema, bowling, badminton, gigs, festivals, museums, exhibitions, walks, DVD nights, singstar, Sunday lunches, in fact the list is endless. We are quite an adventurous group with Archery, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Go Ape, Zorbing, Playzone, Ringos, Water Sports, New Forest Cycling, Theme Parks, Karting, Beach BBQ and a Hog Roast in the Park on this years calendar too!

We are aware of the credit crunch and take advantage of 2-4-1 offers, which includes visits to theme parks, theatre, Orange Wednesday, and various restaurants and promotional cocktail nights in the bars in town. Moreover, from time to time we run a new members promotional month in March, "March Madness" where membership for new people to our club is at a discounted price as well as an Early Bird renewal scheme for members renewing on time, membership for the year works out at less than 60p a week.

Meeting new people for the first time can be daunting but we are a very relaxed chilled friendly group of people. The Echo newspaper have featured us and said we are "a charming set of people, who clearly go out of their way to make new people feel welcome, both to their group and to the city as a whole. Making friends isn't as difficult as some people might believe, you just have to know where to look" .

So, whether you are new to the City or if you've been here a while and if this all sounds good fun to you then please get in touch!

Members need to gain the skills, confidence and practice to run events and competitions to ensure the continued success of the National Federation of Plus Areas.

Members also need to recognise and pass on their experience to enthuse others to take on the role of organisers and participate in organising teams.

Such organisers and teams will recognise the constraints/impacts of public contractors and the community at large to deliver events and competitions that will deliver fun, satisfaction and enjoyment for all.

To utilise a variety of experience and learning situations in a safe environment to equip Plus members with the skills to organise large scale events.

Members will realise their skills and opportunities to the benefit of themselves as Plus members, managers, team members and to the community at large.

SA HedgeHop!

Fancy taking part in the Southern Area Hedge Hop?
Each SA Club is encouraged to put a team together to take part in this barmy event. Single participants from different Clubs can join up to make a team too.

The Hedge Hop is a team event (3 - 4 people per team and each Club can have more than one team) which involves a 4 mile timed walk/jog along country roads in the dark. It starts at 6.30pm and along the route there are clues to answer. If that sounds easy enough, there will be spotters in cars patrolling the route. If they spot any of the team members you get a time penalty. (Hence why it's called a hedgehop!) Once you are back at the pub there will be a buffet (provided by Southern Area).

Where? The Coronation Arms, St Mary, Bourne nr Andover SP11 6AR
How much? £1 per person

Please do support this - it's a lot of fun!

Girlie Meal & Wine

Hiya lovely ladies,

We thought it would be a nice idea to go for a girlie meal and a glass (or bottle) of wine :)

We are going to go to the Village Inn. The food is basic and cheap (there is a wide selection) and is very good (I've not yet had a bad meal), the pub is nice (although not that big) and child free.

I am not planning on too much organisation for this evening, like booking a table, mainly cos I don't think you can without sorting out depositis etc. The idea is just a girlie get together. Obviously if there are a lot of us going we will need to split up into smaller groups but I am sure we can swap around between main and dessert (which are yummy esp the trio of desserts where you get to nibble 3 different ones!).

You can decide at the last minute whether you are able to make it but it would be nice to have a rough idea of how many of us hope to make it so those that get to the pub first can scout for a suitable area to sit. We don't mind whether it ends up just a small group it would just be nice to go out for a chilled evening, a meal and a few glasses of wine.

Don't worry if you can't make it as I am sure we will be doing this more often :) and maybe consider accepting the odd honorary girl in future :P

We've booked a court for Sunday morning.

Maximum of 4 players per court and only 1 court has been booked. If you are interested in playing please get in touch with me in case a space becomes available or to squeeze you in.

Serious players will be disappointed.

Ok, so the Two Brothers is not well known for fine cuisine but with two fab offers we have decided to give it a try, choose from the Curry & Pint for £4.99, 2 Meals for £5, or select from the regular menu. All is on offer on a Tuesday Night!

http://www.sizzlingpubs.co.uk/thetwobrotherssouthampton/

Plan is to meet at 7pm, grab a table and order your meal. I've no idea how busy the pub will be but with such offers I expect there will be quite a few frequenting. If there are a lot of us we may have to break up into smaller groups, however at it is a last minute midweek meal I'm sure we will be ok.
