Bike meets

[Tongy]

Just like to say thankyou to Paul &Karen for the enjoyable chat yesterday at H&C. I had been there for over an hour and am a little shy at introducing myself to groups. I know it's not personal, but if someone arrives on their own ( ie not in a group) it can be quite intimidating. How about us all trying to look out for those at meets who look a bit lost.

Or you could simply approach a group of people and introduce yourself - we are an open and welcoming community, you don't need an invitation you know...

While in conversation with friends its difficult to look out for Newbies & there are always new faces on rides & meets. We are a friendly bunch.

a good place to start at the h&c is to find the landlord and take the piss out of him having a girls name

Speaking for myself, I know what Tongy means. It is VERY difficult to approach a group of people you do not know and introduce yourself.

There does need to be a concerted effort on the part of all of us to make newbs feel welcome. Is all too easy just to fall into conversation with the same people.

Gis us another go Tongy.

On a serious note, gotta agree here. As a shy person I don't tend to speak to anyone that I don't already know which isn't the best way to meet new people!
