Bexhill Social Group - Making Friendly Contacts

posted by Julie Rossall on 01 Feb 2011 at 2:48 pm

We recently moved to lovely Bexhill.In our early 50s. My husband works full time and I am finding it difficult to make new contacts. I've tried finding voluntary work but not found the type that I need..
Are there any ladies out there who would like to meet up for a coffee/chat etc? Or can anyone recommend a group?

Making New Friends

posted by janice oliver on 09 Feb 2011 at 12:03 pm

Hi Julie, am interested in your message. We are considering moving to Bexhill in 2011 and there is nothing worse than waking up in a new town and realising that one doesn't have a local pal. My husband doesn't work but he does have an all consuming hobby which takes much of his time. I will be interested to see what responses you get. I thought of trying to start a social club for singles and people who have a busy other half, like for instance "golf widows" or in my case a "motor sport widow". Good luck.

Watch This Space!!

Thanks for your response, Janice - still early days, but interesting that it's the ONLY one (and you don't yet live in Bexhill)!
Doing my best to make those social connections having left family and friends behind in darkest Lancashire - but no joy so far... A local Cafe holds a fortnightly evening 'meal and a quiz' which appeals, so my husband and I have booked -just wish I could discover a (not too)'Loose Women' type girly chat group - there are soooo many cafes here we could 'crawl'...!
Will keep you posted.. when are you planning on moving and where from?

Local Social Contacts

posted by Patricia Smith on 11 Feb 2011 at 7:21 pm

Hi Julie - the local free paper prints a page detailing clubs/societies/organisations that meet in the area, covering numerous hobbies/interests, giving contact numbers. Also two large folders are available in the Bexhill Library detailing the same information. Have been in the same position as you, but you will get there. Lots going on in the area. Good luck.

Hi Julie,
I moved here over 20 years ago and can well remember just how difficult it is to meet people. It took me ages to settle. Most of the friends I did make have now moved on or work full-time so I'd love to get together for a Loose Women chat! If you're interested, drop me a line at jayaydee[at]hotmail.co.uk.
Hope to hear from you soon.

You Can't Have Too Many Friends!

Following posts on this site and Jude's reply I am now part of a group of ladies aged 50(ish) who meet for a natter and coffee in Bexhill town centre. These meet-ups may hopefully lead to other folk joining us (including men?)for alternative social get-togethers - walks, quizzes, pub nights, bbqs, etc...all ideas welcome. If you would like to join in, please email me to jellylegs61@yahoo.co.uk Julie

Hello ladies - I have just stumbled across this website. too moved recently to Bexhill from the far shores of S.A. Even though my son is here with his wife my girls are in Australia and Cape Town respectively. I am finding it very lonely and quiet, even though it is so lovely here and I would never move anywhere else. I have plenty of friends in far off places, but need some kind of support structure here.

Hello

I'm 37 and starting a social out and about group in the Rother area and hope to use various meeting points in and around Bexhill (Cafes, De La Warr etc). It's aimed at singles who feel isolated and would like to meet others to enjoy, in company, what Bexhill has to offer! Life's Ok on your own but it's much better shared.
Any age, men or women, all welcome!

Seeking Friends In Bexhill

posted by Jim on 04 Aug 2011 at 12:03 am

Hi I've been in Bexhill a couple of years following a work transfer.
Aged 55. I'm now single and wondered if there are any social groups where I could find some mates - other than the traditional 'forces' clubs. I think it's difficult for guys to make friends in this town and I feel isolated outside of work - i like a drink, but the few pubs seem to be small traditional hardcore drinkers pub and the alternative is coffee shops. Am I missing something? I enjoy watching football and live music.

How About Our Group, Jim?

posted by Julie Rossall on 05 Aug 2011 at 6:15 pm

Hi Jim
Please see posts re ChatterBex above - it is an informal 'mixed' group of residents who all started off seeking friends in Bexhill. We now have over 30 'members' and are open to suggestions for future 'activities'. We understand people who work can't join in daytime 'things' but we do have evening events...

Weekend Social Group

Ive been a resident of Bexhill for about 5 years, however, I work away during the week and have difficulties in making new friends or finding a social group as they tend to be week based. Is there anything out there I've missed, please?

Socialising

posted by Fi Douglas on 25 Jan 2012 at 3:49 pm

Hi all,
I've read these posts with interest, as I'm new to the town too (been away for years) and I'd love to meet more people for a bit of socialising.
I work in the week like some others, so am unable to meet in the daytimes unfortunately, so am wondering if there are any groups who meet at weekends at all?
We're in our late 30's and have a boy of 6, and although we love living here we're feeling a bit isolated.

If anyone's in the same boat, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks! Fi

Hi Janice, I read your message whilst researching local groups. I am a mum from Ninfield age 37 and have moved in 18 months ago. I am a consultant for Pampered chef cookware and regularly look for avenues to meet people I would not otherwise. I have met many ladies in a similar position to yourself that perhaps volunteer at a parent and toddler group that always needs a hand or members of the U3A club. Have a look on line, they have lots going on. There is also a really active and funky WI in Bexhill. it's amazing whwre you can meet freinds but getting involved in groups is fantastic and rewarding to.

If you are lonely in Bexhill there are many clubs and organisations you can join. There is a list held by the Local Library in Western Road. Why not try the ASenior Citizens club or join the Widow and Widowers club at The Bexhill British Legion. have a look in the Bexhill Observer under clubs there is lots of info there every week.

Hi Jo (and others?), I've recently moved back to Bexhill after 12 years (things went wrong and I am now unemployed and back living with my parents). I agree, there don't appear to be many things going on for the under 50's (I'm in my late 30's). Did you find any activities or clubs?

Sister

posted by Malcolm on 05 Jun 2015 at 1:06 pm

Hi all/everyone.
I'm sending this message on behalf of my sister who has been living in bexhill on sea with our disabled brother for about 18 months now.
She is fed up looking at the four walls and really needs some interaction with others instead of her sometimes awkward and difficult brother.
Even though she's my sister I would think that she would find it difficult to take the first steps of meeting new people, and she often feels that other people would critisize her over her dress sense,(not very modern).
She is 61yrs old and has a heart of gold and I feel if she could meet others and have a chat and or a coffe/tea etc it would be the making of her.
Any one suggest where would be a good place to start.
Kind regards Malcolm.

Hi all,

I have been living here for 3 years now, I still have not made any real friends. I am 42 (almost) and looking for friends to go shopping, coffee, nights out etc with.

I have searched everywhere online but can't find anything.

Many thanks

Hi there, I have been thinking of moving to Bexhill and one of my concerns was about not knowing anyone locally but having discovered this website I feel very positive and reassured! I'm a 62 yr old female and will be moving on my own so I hope chatterbex is still going strong when I get there as it sounds right up my street. Any tips about the area would be gratefully received. Look forward to meeting you all when I eventually move, hopefully in the spring.

Hello,

I moved here three months ago after moving around a fair bit then being stuck in dover for many years. I live in supported accommodations for a few years then am out living on my own again. I have mental health problems and have had many bad experiences in my life, but through looking for answers I have exasperated myself learning about psychology, spirituality and consciousness. I need a break and am in need of some good friends. I like bexhil, the people seem much happier here, you actually get smiles from people here. i'm 25 years old and look quite young so I often get treated like I'm neive, would be nice to meet some open minded people. Email me if you think we could chat,meet and do some enjoyable things :)

New To Bexhill?

Bexhill has a thriving, friendly Theatre Supporter’s Club. We enjoy a monthly coffee morning, a monthly theatre outing by coach and, where possible, an afternoon tea before making our way home from the show. It is run by volunteers and apart from enjoying ourselves, one of the aims of the club is to give some financial support to the excellent amateur groups that we have in the town.

Our coffee mornings are held on the first Friday of each month at 10am at St. Peter’s Community Centre, Old Town, Bexhill. There is ample free parking nearby at the Manor Barn car park. All bookings and payments for forthcoming shows are made at our coffee mornings. If you want to know more please email theatreclubofbexhill@gmail.com.

I don't live in Bexhill, but there are friendship making websites like Together Friends that you might also find useful, in addition to the local groups you already have there. You can use websites like this to try and connect with friends in your local area according to age bracket and interests.

Good luck to everyone trying to find friends, whatever method you end up using!

Social Groups In Bexhill

posted by seahermit on 27 Aug 2017 at 2:01 pm

Just found this amazing website and this fascinating thread on social groups. Bexhill is not quite so sleepy as outsiders might think! I live in Hastings, often enjoy coming down to Bexhill. Hastings is a bit younger and more lively .. if you like noisy nightclubs. Problem is that it's an intellectual desert!

There seem to be various groups in Bexhill - would anyone care to point me towards one of the friendlier ones? I'm an oldie but pretty fit and active, writer, photographer etc. But missing intelligent conversation in scruffy old Hastings. I did try the Senior Citizens club and I'm sure they mean well, but I found them quite reserved and very much into sipping herb teas and chit-chatting about what the world's coming to! I'm being unkind, they were quite nice actually.

This is quite an interesting thread but I suppose, in my earlier post, I was hoping to attract the attention of a friendly group seeking more members. No response! I'm surprised. Oh well, maybe they are all thriving and well-subscribed .. the point is of course that it's a bit daunting to just walk into a new group of people you haven't seen before. If anyone feels like contacting me, I am at "seahermit@zoho.com" - hoping ideally to meet some people who are atleast a bit creative - I am a writer, photographer and a few other things when the mood takes me.

Hi Jen,

I’m sorry I have been slow to reply to your post, no offence intended, but my life has been unpredictable lately! I think it is excellent that there are so many active social groups in Bexhill, there doesn’t seem to be much in Hastings unless you want to listen to rock music in the scruffy pubs!

But I am probably experiencing difficulties which will resonate with other people here. I have some eye and hearing problems (hopefully being sorted out soon) and so it is a bit of a hassle to travel far - especially with evening transport to and from Bexhill being very poor - and the weather very cold!

I will reply to the email you sent and will get back to you when I feel fitter.

A separate matter – this is a very useful forum for everyone but constructed in a very basic way. One reason I didn’t respond earlier is the difficulty of finding new posts – they appear at the very bottom of the list and one has to scroll through yards of old posts to get there (surely they should be at the top instead?). Also there seems to be no system of notifications being sent to my email address e.g. when someone replies to my post.

Maybe that is the reason the forum doesn’t seem to attract so many contributors as you would expect. I wonder if it is worth making some comments to the administrators about possible improvements?

Help ...

posted by Seahermit on 21 Mar 2018 at 7:13 pm

I noticed the plaintive post by Clare Simon and I have sympathy with this. There seem to be several refuges for the druggies etc. in Hastings but few places for more normal people to meet socially. Unless you can cope with the rather scruffy and noisy pubs!

Clare, this is a long shot but .. I like Bexhill but it's a bit of a trek for me at present whilst I am trying to sort out some hearing and sight issues. And the evening transport is pretty dire too. Maybe when the weather gets warmer ..

If it would make your life more interesting, would you care to meet in the meantime in Hastings (or St Leonards - lots of nice cafes there)? I'd quite like to compare notes and strategies in the quest for people who are not on drugs or alcohol!

Give it a thought I'm on kwirkypoet@outlook.com.

Best wishes,

Tony

Hi, I recently moved to Bexhill to be with my partner and other than his friends feel a little like bella no mates! I am always up for dog walks, lively chats and pretty much anything outdoors, plus the odd cosy cuppa in good company. Any takers? It would be lovely to make new friends!
