I couldn't find a group for casual social meetings. As a relative newcomer to the area, and someone at home during the daytime, there didn't seem to be a lot of opportunity to meet people outside specific interest groups. It's great to have a hobby you're passionate about, but also nice to just chat over coffee or go out on an occasional visit - maybe to lunch, park, museum, or a tourist spot. In other words a social group that doesn't just focus on one thing. I also wanted a group that wasn't t …
