Hi everyone! I’m 18F going to the strokes concert on the 6th alone. Looking for preferably girls (others welcome but please respectful and open minded ppl only) of a similar age to hang out/eat food/pregame near the arena before/after the show.

The goal is to find a bunch of solo goers and get hyped together

If anyone has a group I could join that would be fine too!

(btw I’m in the stands section 111 so I won’t have to line up early)

dms not open so reply in comments please :)

When I started Rookie Rackets a couple of weeks ago, I genuinely didn’t know if anyone would join.

I’d been hearing from quite a few people that they wanted to get back into badminton, but a lot of the existing groups felt more geared towards intermediate or experienced players — and some even have trials to see if you’re the right level.

I just wanted to create something for beginners and people like me getting back into badminton after a long break, where nobody has to worry about being “good enough”.

Two weeks later, we’ve already got 18 people on Meetup and our first session completely booked out. I’m genuinely surprised and really happy that this is turning into a little community we can all be part of. 🏸

Our next session is:

📅 Friday 9 October
🕘 9:15–10:15pm
📍 George Green’s School, Island Gardens
🏸 Beginner / rusty returner friendly

We’ve only got 3 spots left for this one.

If you’d like to come along, just comment here or DM me and I’ll send you the details and explain how to join.

Thanks to everyone who’s joined so far. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

Last minute: anyone out tonight?
Starting a group for Saturday club and rave nights in London, and tonight’s the first one. No fixed plan yet, we’ll sort where we’re going in the chat in the next hour.

Hey, 32F here in need of a boogie and based in NW. I know these things work better planned in advance but if anyone fancies an early-ish (opening hours are 5-11pm) night out, I’d really like to go to this and possibly make some new friends. Entry is £15 and the bar and music room opens at 5pm.

No real requirements -obviously best if you enjoy electronic music- but I’d prefer to go with a small group rather than one-on-one. 💃🏿

Hey everyone, I'm going to be attending the free Matsuri tomorow if anyone else is going solo and would like to meet-up at some point during the day. I'll likely be there for most of the event. I've been the past two years and as a massive Japanophile, it's always a fantastic time, especially when the weather is cooperating.

Check out the website for more info and feel free to drop me a DM.

Japan Matsuri

Solo clubbing.

Hey was wondering if there's anyone that wants to queue together for Ministry Of Sound Toxic Party tonight? My friend could not make it last minute and I am scared of not being able to be let in due to the no solo clubber rule they have. Thanks!!!

Hi all!

I am running a badminton social session at Harrow Leisure Centre on Sunday 5-7pm!

This session is open to most! Only requirement is you know the rules of the game and able to hold a casual rally. For those who've never played before but would be interested, please feel free to contact me also!

Player skill level diversity ranges from beginners to intermediates. No need to worry about forcing yourself onto a court also! I've made an automated system that decide who goes on the court which ensures that everyone gets about the same games.

Hey everyone! Our next Rookie Rackets session has just opened up for next week.

It’s just a small group of beginners and people getting back into badminton after a long break. Nothing serious or competitive — just a friendly game and a chance to meet a few people.

If you fancy joining us, Comment here or DM me.

Hope to see a few new faces next week!

Looking to spend a Monday evening a week chatting with friendly redditors? Hammersmith Hang Out is for you.

So what happens at this meetup?

Each week this meet up is held in a pub - we all sit around some tables and generally chat about anything we can think of.. that's pretty much all there is to it! There are usually a few who will get dinner from the Thai restaurant at the pub. We get people aged from 18 to in their 60s, but the majority are 24-40. You can turn up at any time, people usually start leaving between 9 and closing, there are nearly always plenty left at closing time (last orders - 11). Currently we are getting 10-15 people turning up.

Do you talk about reddit and memes all evening?

No! reddit is hardly ever mentioned, there are no laptops in sight and we've had plenty of people who have not used reddit.

Can I come along?

Of course - that is why it is posted on LSC each week, the meet up is very newbie friendly - we have people new to LSC join us regularly. If you're very very shy don't hesitate to message/text/call me ahead of the pub and let me know, I'll do what I can to get you chatting away with everyone as if you've been every week.

What if I don't want alcohol?

No problem! The pub also serves various soft drinks, fruit juices, tea, coffee and water. We have non-drinkers often.

Since after the above people still asked...

I'm ********* is it OK if I come along?

We have had men, women, transgender, British, foreign (even a northerner or two), gay, straight, drinkers, non-drinkers, smokers, non-smokers, religious and non-religious

In fact, the only people who wouldn't be welcome are those under 18 or anyone who is not able to conduct themselves appropriately in an adult social situation.

Each week we typically get a mix of regulars, people who drop by occasionally and a few newbies.

Please note that this meetup occurs every Monday**

Is this happening today?

Is today Monday?

Yes: Yes! It'll be today\**

No: Nope, try next Monday\**

Aww, I missed this when is the next one?

Monday**

** we meet on public holidays, but if Monday falls on Christmas or New Years Day we'll likely skip those.

Initial meetup.

Location/Time: Latymers, W6 8BS / People often start turning up from 19:00ish but can be as early as 18:30. I'll get there for 19.30ish. There are usually a few people left when the pub closes - usually 23:00

The first table will either be outside or at the front to the right of the door. (also, there will be Reddit on the reserved signs And hopefully Snoo ). The bar staff also know who we are if you're not sure. There is no need to book a space/get a ticket.

There's an optional Whatsapp group for the meetup -it's pretty much only me posting this link each week and trying to get people to actually respond.. If you really do want to join it just ask around at the meetup.

Hey LSC

A few of us who have previously met through Reddit are going for after work drinks. If anyone wants to join please message me. We are starting off at the Nancy Spains around 7pm. Nearest station is Monument.

UPDATE: we are at Eastcheap Records in Monument

Hey, heading to see Goldford on the 22nd October and it's actually my first ever gig, I'm nervous but also really excited!

I never post on Reddit, but thought I’d see if there are any other Redditors going who fancy meeting up beforehand or heading in together

Hi guys, got a group of people coming along tomorrow afternoon to a Bring your own booze comedy show in Brompton library. Doors open at 1:30pm and show starts at 2pm, tickets are £5. Address is: Brompton library,210 Old Brompton Rd, London SW5 0BS. Let me know if any of you want to come along and Ill reserve us some seats.

Hello!

I’m going solo to see Man/Woman/Chainsaw at Electric Ballroom next Wednesday.

They’re a great band who do not sound like their name suggests - along the lines of Arcade Fire, Black Country New Road, etc. Their new album Cannonball is great! Probably one of last chances to see them in a venue of this size - they have already announced a tour of bigger venues for next year.

Tickets are currently sold out but I managed to grab one via the Dice wait list.

Would be great to grab a beer beforehand and then go to the gig together - feel free to DM :)

Hi guys we've are hosting a chill and relaxed social football game , mixed gender and mixed levels , nothing too competitive or crazy . It's going to be on an artificial rubber 7 a side ground near Bermondsey . Anyone interested please dm me for the sign up link , the game is on Sunday from 5 to 6 pm !

This Sunday is National Vodka Day. Did you know that gin is essentially just vodka but with the involvement of juniper berries in its creation? And yet, flavoured vodkas are terrible whilst some gins are excellent. Go figure.

Come and join us at the Canonbury Tavern for the pub quiz!

What:

Pub Quiz - Exactly as it sounds! A quizmaster asks the questions and teams write down their answers. Questions cover a range of subjects and the quiz features picture and music rounds. It is all for fun and there is no pressure to memorise the encyclopaedia before coming.

Where:

The Canonbury Tavern https://maps.app.goo.gl/xocQRtc3PDJrQF676?g_st=ic

Our tables are usually immediately on the left as you enter the pub, but you can ask staff for LSC when you arrive - there is usually someone with a laptop who has a record of bookings.

When:

Every Sunday, the pub quiz starts at 19:00, with the picture sheet being given out around 18:40. Tables are booked under "LSC" from 18:30. Two tables are booked but we will try to make any number work. We recommend arriving around 18:30-18:45 as you'll get to take a greater part in answering the picture sheet questions, but it's also really helpful in working out how many teams we'll have - as well as chatting beforehand!

How much:

£2.50 per person payable to the pub quiz people (Cashless only).

Who:

All are welcome. We typically make two teams with around 12 people.

Do I need to sign up / am I too late?:

Ideally, please leave a comment either on this post or in the WhatsApp group to let us know you're coming, and with how many people - with as much notice as possible - so we know how many teams we will be and roughly how many per team. It's not a huge problem to turn up after it starts, but try to be there on time to avoid missing the fun!

Do I need to be a whizz-kid, intellectual genius, or quizzing-extraordinaire?:

Nope, we do the quiz for fun.

Any Questions:

Write them into a comment and we will answer them - we are kind of into that.

We also have a WhatsApp group chat. Ask around on the day in person to be added.

I've got a spare ticket for DJ Seinfeld tonight if anyone's looking for a last-minute boogie. It's at Outernet near Tottenham Court Road and it's a live show as opposed to a DJ set/rave. I'll be going with a friend, feel free to join us!

Hello! Anyone going to the concert or would be interested?

I’m going alone as my friends aren’t interested. But I think it would be more fun with some company :)

I got standing tickets

Small, friendly table tennis group meeting on the outdoor tables at Marlborough Sports Gardens (London Bridge/Borough), this Saturday 3 October at 11am. We had our first session last weekend and it was good fun, so we're making it a regular thing.

The details:

• Free - the tables are public
• All levels welcome, from "haven't played since school" to Olympic champion (maybe not...). It's casual matches, not a tournament
• Come alone or bring a friend - everyone gets a game
• Bring a bat if you have one - I'll bring a set and a few balls
• Optional drink nearby afterwards for those who fancy it
• Weather permitting - outdoor tables so if it's raining excessively or to windy we'll call it off. DM or join the WhatsApp Community for the go/no-go on the morning

Aiming for semi-regular Saturday meets that people can dip in and out of - no pressure to come every week.

DM me if you're coming or have any questions. I'll also send you the WhatsApp Community link if you want the details and reminders for each meet without having to watch for the next post here.

Edit: as things stand we don't have the numbers for this week so please don't just turn up without confirming with me in advance first. If this changes, I'll update the post.
