best way to meet people locally?

[jacquiba]

Hi everyone.

I'm new to this forum, this is my first post.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me if they know of any good ways to meet people in or around East Dulwich? I'm new around here. I recently moved to Nunhead from a small town in Surrey and I don't know anyone.

Thanks for reading :)

Hello jacquiba!

This forum is a great place to meet local people; there are regular drinks where everyone is welcome no matter how long they've been in ED/on the forum. There have been new people at every one I've been to, so don't feel that you'd be the only one who didn't know all the others.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

You have landed in a good place to start... I've met lots of lovely people through this very site. There are book clubs, badminton clubs, curry clubs... and indeed lots of drinking clubs that stem from here. The forum drinks is the best place to start - held the first Friday of every Month. The next one is at Black Cherry on Lordship Lane. We're a friendly bunch and everyone always makes an effort to make new people feel welcome.

Good luck.

The forum drinks are always a good start. Anywhere from 30 - 50 people from the forum meet up, generally the first Friday of the month. Also keep an eye on the "What's On" and activities mentioned in the Lounge such as the Curry Club.

Welcome to ED. The forum is great way to meet people.

Wow, I didn't expect so many replies, and so quickly! Thank you very much everyone! Some lovely ideas, and I will endevour to come along to the next drinks, thanks for making me feel welcome! :)

Definitely have to agree re landing in the right place.. I have met lots of people through this forum and I love the community feel its gives me.. One of the best things we ever did was move to ED and join the forum!!

Definitely come to the drinks, it can be a little daunting not knowing anyone but we will all talk to you no probs!

Alt if you wanted something a little more low key to break you in to it you could come to the curry club tonight..

See you there..

Surely there is more to ED than joining the forum! Or am I just completely out of touch.

[lozzyloz]

That's exactly the point jke. If you browse the forum you'll find out just how much more there is to ED than just the EDF.

There's even a Peckham Rye Car Park dogging club

Hi, what's the Facebook group for singles' exact name? I can't find it just putting in East Dulwich and I'd like to join?

Thanks.

Join the Dulwich Supper Club!

Warning! Making friends in East Dulwich is very bad for your liver

But ultimately very good for your soul, even if some of them don?t believe in things like souls.

[SeanMacGabhann]

oh you have soul for sure Bren...

[CamberwellOz]

I worked for three months at the Silver Buckle in Camberwell. I met loads of people there....

Hang on - that probably wasn't the best idea. I was young.

I wouldn't advise running around with a suitcase commenting on people's footwear

Just searched for it... it's the "East Dulwichian Social Group". Quite an old post though, not sure if it's still active!
