What we’re about
Friendship First (Bridgwater & Surrounds) is a welcoming, friendly group of people who just want to share company, try new experiences & enjoy conversation, build friendships and have fun times along the way. Age range averages 40+, we enjoy theatre, cinema, live music, dining out, comedy , dancing, leisurely social walks not hikes, a few fun activities incorporating fresh air & mild/moderate exercise where possible , occasional away days and UK short breaks, all at affordable prices.
FRIENDSHIP FIRST HAS BEEN REBRANDED FROM THE ORIGINAL DIAMOND CLUB & IS ON TRIAL FOR THE COMING YEAR 2023. We welcome & would happily consider a few additional organisers to the group who would like to host events and I can actively support you in how this works. Just get in touch to let me know that you are interested please.
A trial for members at one of our events is free to see if you like it, after one trial, we only accept paid up members (£10 per annum) to our events this includes myself and any organisers. We encourage active participation, with the aim of sharing friendship and good times. Please understand that strict policies apply for 'No Shows' however, especially in these difficult post Covid times, where reliability is even more essential for advanced bookings.
We are based in Bridgwater but our events are not solely in Bridgwater, we welcome applications for membership to our group from the surrounding areas. We are a friendship group for people who may find that through life's circumstances they need to expand their social circle but don't know where to start.
Please note: We are not a dating group, although a few members have met through initial friendship, neither are we a walking group for serious hikers. We aim to remain a group of like minded friends who encourage inclusivity & just enjoy good times & actively encourage consideration of others. Disrespectful behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated.
Please be aware that as we aim to remain a smaller group, we have to stick to cut off numbers when considering member applications. This is in order to allow the group to run successfully, so please don't be too disheartened if you are not successful on your first attempt. It may be worth reapplying further down the line. We look forward to meeting you soon!
