Meeting up

[TicTac1]

Hiya to all . I have just moved to Torrevieja and feeling a little bit lost, because I don't know anybody here. I would love to meet up with people for a chat.

I'm living in a temporary accommodation at present and would like to explore the area before deciding where I want to live, so would love to meet people from around town center, but Torreblanca, La Mata and La Zenia too. Thank you in advance.

I used to organise forum meetings on .co.uk years ago at various venues, The Emerald Isle was a favourite place.

It was good putting names to faces and in some cases settling scores,but a good time was had by all.

But that was in it's heyday and even Gary the Admin turned up and nobody knew who he was because he just picked a members name.

One present member on here who is a fairly regular poster ... was slagging Gary off, not knowing that it was Gary he was speaking to, and all these later, I haven't the heart to tell him.

But thankfully any criticism that Gary was in earshot of, was fairly constructive rather than abusive.

Of course I was sworn to secrecy so I have not said anything.

But unfortunately, social media, like Facebook, has had a big impact on ex-pat forums, but I still think they provide a valuable service, although the days of twenty odd members turning up for coffee and cake, or something stronger are long over, but I still have fond memories of happier times,and even Kevin Tyler was quite moderate.. politically

Most local newspapers have ads for joining various groups in various places depending on your interests.

Of course you have found a virtual group right here..

The problem with a virtual group is that you can't meet face to face, and in some cases punch it if it ever turned up at a meeting.

Maybe some faces look better on a forum...

Some look even worse in real life ,to name but a few.
