Maybe you're new to the area, kids have flown the nest, had a change in circumstances or you just want to get out more, try new things or places & make some more friends. Join us if you want to meet new people, socialise, make new friends, have fun & try new things.
Don't be shy take the plunge & you'll soon make friends & have an improved & active social life. We hold multiple events every week.
Social activities could include meeting for coffee, drinks, eating out, pub nights, live music, dancing, theme nights, cinema, theatre, comedy, arts & crafts, day trips, race days, bowling, quiz nights, games, book club, walks, picnics, afternoon tea, escape rooms, disc/footgolf, bike rides, skating, trampolining, snowboarding or any other sports & leisure activities, museums, galleries, day trips, charity events and much more. Events can be daytime, evening, midweek or weekends in the local area or beyond. Members are also encouraged to host events. The more event hosts we have the more events there will be for you to attend. You don't have to host loads of events just once or twice a year would help. Contact one of the organisers if you are interested & want help with this.

Music Bingo 🎶🎵🎶 @ The Three Blackbirds
Come & join us for music bingo. Instead of numbers you need to mark off the song that is played on the screen (don't worry you'll get help with this on the screen so you don't need to have musical knowledge). It is £2 per music game card, please bring cash on the day 💷 cash prizes. We aim to play 4 or 5 games.
It's easy to play & is also a good fun social evening. Feel free to sing along or dance in your seats. If you've never played before come along & give it a try. You might want to bring a dabber or pen along.
We'll meet at 4pm for a bit of a social beforehand and a drink, snacks or dinner for anyone who may wish to eat. We aim to start the music bingo at 5pm.
The pub takes Blue Light Card on food orders.
As with all our events please remember to keep your RSVP's up to date & change it to "Not Going" as soon as possible if you can no longer attend. This also applies to the wait list where applicable. Please do not leave it until the last minute as it is also unfair on the venues that we have given numbers to & the host who has given up their time to arrange events.
