    Hi @CeriD welcome to the group. There's a site called Meetup.com which has groups for a lot of things. It could be coffee mornings, book groups etc. Or Facebook, if you're on there and do a search for pages or events locally. Hope you find something you like :smiley:

    Hi @CeriD - some information, particularly from Richard_Scope, who also has CP, was also given on your other post. Perhaps admin might merge the two. Please see: https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/68943/meet-ups#latest
