What we’re about
This group was started to create a great community in the Bucks and Berks areas. Attending our events is a great way to make new sociable friends and to maybe even meet that someone special along the way if you're currently single. However the events are open to everyone and you don't need to be single to join.
You will also see events listed on our Meet Up put on by Kevin from Walk & Explore and Toyin from Get a Social Life who puts up some interesting events also not within the area such as holidays abroad, weekend breaks and some very classy events in London.
Hope to see you all soon to start social networking locally.
Best wishes Julie Davies
