Meeting people.

[Rie]

Does any one know of a good way of getting out and meeting people in thurso?
I have very recently moved to thurso after my marriage of 10 years fell apart, and dont know any body, i m not the most confident person but would like to meet people/ make friends.
I am 31, two chilren boy of 9 nd girl of 7.
Any ideas??:D

Hi Rie & welcome!

You've made a good start by coming here - the next step is to head over to the chatroom (click FlashChat to the upper right of your screen) and go and have an online chat.

There you will probably meet a few other newcomers to the area (as well as the other regulars!) and I have no doubt that, after chatting for them for a while, you'll be ready for a face-to-face meeting, maybe over a coffee.

The rest, as they say, will be history...

Cheers

Bob

Join evening/afternoon classes, become a volunteer in a charity shop or stroke club etc. or an organisation like thurso Town Improvements, and there is also a womans group running in thurso. Good luck.

Its hard when your marriage breaks up and you find yourself the "responsible "parent.Go easy on yourself and take your time adjusting.

In a way the kids are still at primary schol so you'll get a chance to meet fellow parents through the school.
Get involved in the their activities and you'll find you'll make friends.:)

There's alwas someone on here and there a great bunch of people,just dont tell them I said so.;)

[Rie]

Thank you every one for your warm greetings and friendly advise,
i already feel like i have friends now,
what a great site the org is for friendly people.:D

Hello Rie. I'm much (much !) older than you and it took me a little while to make friends but not very long, in fact the first was through our beloved .org although not the Forum. That came later. You'll soon get to know other parents at school, if only through your children exchanging visits. A lot depends on your interests so have a good browse through the .org.

People are generally very friendly so give it a little time and I'm sure you'll soon feel at home.

hi and welcome rie to th org:lol:

[Moby]

Your kids will be the key to meeting lots of friends - get them involved in all the various clubs that are around and you'll soon find yourself involved and making new friends. The school gate is also a great way of getting chatting whilst you are all waiting for the kids coming out.

I agree, I moved here a couple of years ago. I went along to the local toddler group and found quite a few people in the same boat. We all still meet up on a Friday even though the majority of our children are either playschool or "big school". I also decided to go back to college which forces me to "get out of the house" and do something useful. Good luck!
