Have you joined a supper club yet? It’s the latest craze where you can enjoy good food, like these delicious recipes, and meet new friends or even get together with old friends again.
All you need to do is use our forum to find women just like you who would like to meet up every so often to share some good food and good conversation. You can have your supper club meetings as often as you like; you can limit recipes or leave the menus wide open; some clubs like to invite members to bring a dish along to every meal, others prefer to have the hostess provide all the food - it's entirely up to you.
Let us know how you get on - we're always interested in how our readers and website users run Supper Clubs and we're happy to pass on tips.
Good luck!

We started our supper club in Surrey in September. There are approx 10 members now. The first event was held at my house where 6 attended. It was considered by all as a great success with excellent food, wine and chat ! Next event for us is this month. Long may it continue.

I am interested in starting a supper/lunch club in Bournemouth Dorset. I have recently taken, (very) early, retirement from a senior management position in the finance sector. This was to enable me get a puppy, which I did and she is lovely, but I am now looking to make some new contacts.
Anyone interested?

Hello, I'm new to this message board, and was interested in the idea of supper clubs. However, reading through the posts on the subject, they seem to be aimed exclusively at women. Why is this? My husband and I have recently moved to a new area (north Essex) and would enjoy the opportunity to make some new friends. Neither of us particularly likes single-sex gatherings; do you think it would be acceptable if we organised a mixed supper party? Would like to know people's opinions on this.

Hi XantheP
Like yourself, I have tried to get a mixed supper club off the ground, but had no replies. I think the problem is that if you have young children, a woman only group may be better, so that OH can babysit etc. , but for us older members, who have moved to new areas, the supper club could be a general venue to make new friends. There are no rules that say it has to be single sex, no more than men joining the general discussion forum.

Yes, I rather assumed that as W&H is aimed at an older readership, then contributors to this message board would mostly be free from childcare issues. However, I wanted to tread carefully as there's been so much fuss about men joining in the discussions.

We have a supper club running in Milton Keynes which has turned out quite well. We started out as a single sex group and as we got to know one another we now include partners not all the time as its nice to go out and have time with the girls.
XantheP if you fancy a drive out your more than welcome to join us.

HELP..........
I know I'm not greatly accomplished as an IT user but navigating this site is driving me MAD!
I'm looking to get involved (or to start) a supper club in my area but can't find search lists for areas where they might be. Apart from the message board how else does one find out more please?

Hi Adrienne
Good to know someone reads these! Thanks for responding. I'd love to join your supper club in Fife, but sadly, I live the other end of the country on the Kent/Sussex border near Tunbridge Wells! Hopefully someone will connect down here. Happy 2007 to you all up there!

Hi Ann - and welcome to the Forum! So far, no joy on the Fife Supper Club 'launch', though three of us from around the Forth met in Edinburgh a few months ago and had a coffee together.
Let me know if you would like to meet somewhere central for a coffee. We could have a chat and consider ways to 'promote' a Fife Supper (or Eating Out) Club.
Again - welcome!

In the absence of any response to my enquiry re supper clubs near Tunbridge Wells, I am now considering starting one in the Crowborough area.
Friends and I already meet over a table on a regular basis, but would all enjoy widening our horizons and meeting new people.
Any takers from W&H ?

Hello Diagram,
I agree, navigating the site to find a list of supper clubs has defeated me as well!!! Anyone one in the Kidderminster area running a club or interested in setting one up...please reply! I thought it might be a good way to make new Friends!

Tried to get one up and running on the border of Beds and Cambs with no success. We now have moved to Cambridge with more success and there are four of us in the Cambridge Supper Club - always willing for more to join. PM me if you are interested or look under Cambridge supper club in the main menu to find out when we are meeting next.
(Must say that we have chosen to eat out at the present time although in time might move to homes - who knows!)

Hello
Nothing to do with a Supper club, but I noticed in your message that you are starting treatment for Breast Cancer.
I was diagnosed in September 2002 and finished surgery and treatment by April 2003.
I am sure all will go well for you. My tip is to ask as many questions as you can, and sometimes I would write things down to help me remember.
I now go for 6 monthly checks and take the drug Arimidex.
I try to stay healthy, but most of all enjoy every day.
There is a really good site, Ameona which sends out a quarterly magazine and has wonderful underwear. It is worth having a look at.
My e mail address is j.bingham@blueyonder.co.uk if you would like to keep in touch.
Good luck
Jane

Interested in joining a supper club but maybe my age is too great at 67. Tunbridge Wells is quite close and I would welcome some new contacts.
