AS THE PREMIER SOCIALISING ORGANISATION

WE CAN OFFER YOU A GREAT SOCIAL LIFE!

 Good Times!  Good Company!  Great Friends!

 

THE SOCIAL GROUP has brought ways of meeting people, making friends, and having a great social life into the 21st Century!  We offer something totally unique, completely different from anyone else, and much better!  With a dedicated team to do all the hard work in organising everything for you, you get great service from friendly approachable organisers who wrote the book on this!

 

Please don’t confuse us with anyone else.  This is something on a much bigger scale.  Bigger and better!  With more care, more attention to detail, and more fun! 

We offer you a unique opportunity to improve your social life!   All organised properly and professionally for you - providing you with an instant social life and a ready-made ‘group of friends’ from a wide range of professions to enjoy all the events with!   

Make the most of your free time, go out to our events, and have the time of your life!  You can come along to all our events by yourself, or you can come with friends or partners.  Everyone is made welcome.  There’s a wide choice of social events on offer, often with up to 20 events per week to choose from!  You can take part in as many events as you wish, as often as you like.  Every year we organise hundreds of different social events and activities.  It’s entirely up to you what you go to.  There’s plenty to suit all tastes and all pockets! 

If your life has been ‘too much work and not enough play’, joining us will turn it around.  Life should be more than just ‘work-telly-sleep’!   So join today and improve your WORK/LIFE balance!

 

We don’t promise to solve all the problems in your life - but we can offer you lots of good times, some really enjoyable experiences, and help you to make lots of new friends!   

Fed up with all the doom and gloom in the wider world?  We can offer a pleasant few hours out of the house away from all of that, where you can meet some nice people and enjoy good times and good company!  

What price for a friend?  As one of our members once said, “friendship is priceless”!  

Established 1997 - featured by ITV and BBC, and local press - run by an experienced and professional full time team of organisers, the fabulous calendar of social events and ready-made ‘group of friends’ is perfect for both men and women!   

Also, it’s ideal if you are new to the area! 

Our full events programme is not published on the internet and is only available to current Social Group members. 

When you join as a Social Group Member, we will post you a NEW MEMBER WELCOME PACK which contains the current issue of SOCIAL GROUP MAGAZINE - this contains the current EVENTS PROGRAMME for your area, which works like a big menu, giving full details of everything that is happening and how it all works, offering you lots of choice! 

If anyone would like a copy of SOCIAL GROUP MAGAZINE prior to joining, this costs £12 to non-members, as it is the size of a book and is expensive to print.   

However, when you join as a Social Group Member, the current issue of SOCIAL GROUP MAGAZINE will be sent out to you for FREE! 

We don’t hold ‘meetings’ in the same back room of a pub or village hall every week, as most people find this boring and dull.  Instead, in order to keep things interesting, we vary the mixture of social events, dining out, parties, activities, and holidays we offer every month and according to the time of year.   Over the years, this unique format has proved really successful and popular. 

To get some idea of the sort of things on offer, please see the PAST EVENTS and PREVIOUS HOLIDAYS sections of our web sites.  Here there are thousands of photos of real people at real events, and this should give you a very good idea of what to expect. 

Of course, we don’t know who is going to be joining The Social Group in the next 12 months but with people joining every day and constantly having new people to meet, that’s part of the fun of it! 

No matter what age you are, no matter what your tastes, with us having so many hundreds of members and with us offering such a huge events programme, we can cater for you - offering you more than anyone else and a unique range of events, activities, short breaks and great value bargain holidays that you won’t find anywhere else! 

Please don’t confuse us with any other club or local group - this is on a different scale altogether - what we offer and the way we work is totally unique and much better!  We offer you a lot for your money!  A great deal of hard work goes on behind the scenes to give you the opportunity to enjoy a better life! 

If you are looking for the best social life and lots of friends, then join our ‘group of friends’ today!  Above all, when you join the Social Group, you will have FUN!

 

SINGLE?

YES! THE SOCIAL GROUP IS IDEAL FOR SINGLES! 

People join The Social Group looking to make friends and improve their social life.  The whole point of this is to provide something that you can go out to by yourself and have a ready-made ‘group of friends’ there to socialise with.   

Most of our members are single and all our events have lots of single people at them.  So there are many hundreds of people of both sexes to meet!   Running this as our own ‘group of friends’, this is all very informal and friendly, and with so many nice people to meet, it’s much better than a dating agency or anything like that! 

If you are single, you’ll have the opportunity to make friends of both sexes and the chance to meet someone special.  This can happen on a meal, at a party, on a holiday, at a quiz night, or a car treasure hunt, on a visit to a zoo, skiing in the Alps, on a behind the scenes tour, at a 1920’s themed party, whilst having a flying lesson, on a drinks evening, while elephant trekking in Thailand, on a shopping trip to Las Vegas, on a coach tour weekend to France, at a country pub Sunday lunch, or on a canoe adventure day out!  In fact, you might well find the person of your dreams at any of our fabulous and enjoyable events! 

No-one else offers you more choice and more people to meet and make friends with!  It’s all very normal, very nice, and very relaxed - it’s a bit like going out with a big family, or like when you were younger and going out with a gang of friends from school or university.  People from all walks of life and a wide range of professions!  Lots and lots of nice people to meet and get to know! 

Not everyone who joins is looking to find romance.  If you are just looking to make some friends and try new things, that’s absolutely fine.   

We are not an old fashioned ‘dodgy dating agency’ or some sort of ‘sad singles-only club’ where we arrange forced ‘dates’ with one person at a time, try to push you together with someone who isn’t suitable, and charge you a small fortune!  What we offer is intended to be something much better than anything like that and refreshingly different! 

Of course, many people do join The Social Group hoping to find romance and to meet someone special!  This is a great way to find Mr. or Ms. Right, while having lots of fun and making lots of friends at the same time! 

If you are looking to meet that special someone, Social Group membership is ideal.  Let’s face it, if you join a dating agency, after paying your £500 - £1000, you only get to meet up with one person at a time and the odds are it is highly unlikely this one single individual will just happen to be Mr. or Ms. Right.    In fact, the odds are really against finding the right person for you like this! 

While, if you join The Social Group, over the course of your 12 months membership, you will have the chance to meet hundreds of single people of both sexes, all in a more normal and relaxed environment, with nothing feeling forced or awkward, and this means the odds of meeting that special someone for you are much better! 

As The Social Group is primarily a socialising organisation, you also avoid any of the old stigma of a ‘dodgy dating agency’ or ‘sad singles-only club’.  With the emphasis on going out and enjoying ourselves, there is no pressure on anyone and you are not going to feel awkward.   

We provide a tasteful and normal way for single people to find friends and meet someone special - in a safe, pleasant, friendly environment - over dinner, at a party, during an activity, or maybe on a holiday.  It was always intended to be respectable, but not at all dull.  Above all, the idea is to make the most of your free time and have fun! 

We offer something completely different  - and it’s all our own original idea - just a great way to meet up with a nice crowd of people and have a terrific time! 

Also, we would advise everyone to stay clear of the Dating Ads / Phone Lines / Chat Lines / Internet Chat Sites in the back of newspapers and on the internet, as these are often very expensive for what you get and often the people who run these don’t care about you - these are hard-nosed businesses and they don’t have your best interests at heart.   

The Social Group takes a different approach, aiming to offer a much better way of meeting people and making friends, via the unique idea of offering for you to come out with us as one of our own ‘group of friends’.  Our idea is to arrange fun times and fun stuff to do, normal everyday stuff like going out for drinks and a nice meal, and some more exciting and adventurous activities too, so there is lots of choice and you can tailor it to suit you, and give you the chance to go out, relax, enjoy life, and be having fun! 

If you are at ease and having fun, it’s much easier to make friends and meet someone special!   

And this is nothing weird or strange, but all set out professionally and properly, in accordance with the law and government guidelines, and run by a dedicated team headed by husband and wife couple Andrew and Cathy who work on this full time and who themselves met through The Social Group! 

The whole point is that you can come along to any of our events as a single person, by yourself, and not be on your own when you get to our events - as you are coming out with our group of friends!  

As soon as you start, you are already friends with Andrew and Cathy, who will offer to meet you at the start of your first event if possible.  From there, you’ll meet lots more people and make lots more friends!  Very soon, you’ll be going out not with a group of strangers, but with a group of people who are your friends, and you’ll soon feel at ease and part of it.  

Plus, as Andrew and Cathy plan all the events and organise them, if life is busy for you, and you don’t have time to organise your free time, you’ll find this a short-cut to having a great social life, with everything done for you! 

We do all the hard work in getting everyone together and organising the events - all you have to do is come out, join in, and enjoy yourself - with our group of friends - who will very soon become your group of friends too! 

If you do meet someone special and become a ‘couple’, of course you can then continue to come out to all our events as a couple - meaning you are still able to socialise with all your Social Group friends and enjoy all we have to offer!     

COUPLES ARE ALSO WELCOME TO JOIN AS MEMBERS!

This is a socialising organisation that is enjoyed by all our couples!  Many of our couples joined as couples - looking to meet people, expand their social circle, network, and have more to do.   There’s all sorts of things for couples to enjoy!    

The Social Group is ideal if you are local and want to meet people from different walks of life and make some new friends.  The Social Group is ideal if you are new to the area, don’t know anyone locally, and are looking to find all the best places to go out to.  You’ll find Social Group organisers Andrew and Cathy know just about every pub, restaurant, hotel, activity centre, tourist attraction, and anywhere worth visiting here in the UK, and have extensive knowledge of some of the other countries we have run lots of group holidays too - including France, Greece, Egypt, America, Thailand, and Western Australia amongst others! 

Social Group founder Andrew Haglington has a degree in Environmental Studies and Geography, so can offer lots of extra advice on travelling.  As we often say, “expand your horizons” and see something of the world! 

We look forward to meeting you soon!
