Chilled drinks & make friends - *Monthly main event*
Details
Casual evening drinks. Come and meet other social introverts in a friendly, relaxed environment :-)
Important note:
This event is tentative due to venue restrictions on Christmas parties so sign up, it will most likely go ahead, but may get postponed. I will put a limit on attendees so get on the list now!
The event is intended to be a safe place to hang out in a way that works for you.
There will be different zones at the event. An area to mingle, an area to play games, and an area filled with sofas to have quieter, chilled chats or in small groups.
There will be some group tabletop games like Jenga to join in on.
At 8pm, we start team Pictionary for those interested. A group favourite! Sign up on the night. If you enjoy drawing or like guessing others' attempts at drawing such things like a Zebra, a Beach ball, or a pretzel, get involved! It's always fun and enjoyable :-)
Please RSVP early (this event will likely reach capacity)
We have an introvert platform with access to an introvert interests/hobbies/skillshare database. For details, see the end of this description**

Come for whatever you like. Whether that be just to, meet and chat with like-minded people, or just to chill with similar people!
=== First-timers ======= -
Try and come early 6.45-7pm for the first timer-centric time. so I can say hello and let you know what happens during the evening :-)
If you're slightly anxious about attending and/or would like to know more, please message me, and I can answer any questions.
Regulars keep conversations open as new members arrive. As it gets busier, it can feel difficult to approach for new members. We've all been a first-timers before :-)
====Etiquette==== IMPORTANT
- There will be people who don't find it easy to participate at first, be kind, and open up the conversations with any new arrivals.
- No need to shout to be heard. 1-1 conversations are encouraged, as are small groups. It can get uncomfortable with big huddles of people! (breakaway if needed!)
- If you're not a fan of small talk, it's okay to take conversations deeper here. There are plenty of pub crawl meetups for chit-chat and shouting!
- I want this to be a safe place for introverts to hang out where they will feel valued and respected. Please honour this, it is one reason why this event works so well.
- This is NOT a dating group, we treat everyone equally here, we come along to hangout, have company and make genuine connections and friends.
- We are about civilised behaviour, please be respectful to others on the night, and any unwelcome behaviour will not be tolerated.
NOTE: I'll be taking photos at the event for the group so other introverts get to see what a fun, inclusive group this is. If you have personal concerns about this, let me know.
IMPORTANT RULE: ONE strike policy, if we receive reports of misbehaviour or making others feel uncomfortable, you will be banned, and there will be no appeal. Please be extremely considerate of your actions.
We encourage all members to inform the host of any unwanted behaviour from other members.
Just be a decent human and be respectful :-)
Read the group description (Bristol social introverts) for background on how & why I started this group. I'm sure, many of you, like me, are compelled to read as much as you can before committing! :-)
