Activities / Hobbies
« on: 15:47:55, 17/01/09 »
I'm pretty new to the city and looking to meet new people and fill my evenings with interesting activities.  I'd love to get back into playing indoor football or something.  I tend to see my GF at weekends so thats less of an option but i'd like to find a life when i'm not with her.  I'm 25 by the way.  It seems pretty difficult to meet people unless you know one or two in the first place!

Does anyone have any interesting ideas, suggestions or just fancy chilling out, any good suggestions for meeting people?

Besides indoor football, what else do you like?  Where are you living and do you work in Manchester, this is important as it is easier to pal around with people from a nearby area.

Welcome to the forum btw. :)

Have you been to the Trafford Centre yet, they have bowling, slot machine games in an amusement arcade, dodgem cars a full cinema complex, then there's the Printworks in town with a cinema complex and lots of trendy eating places.

There is Daytona at Trafford Park for go-kart racing too.

My main hobby is re-enactment of battles from the English Civil War - my next one is in Nantwich on Saturday 24th January - I'm also into science fiction, performance poetry, burlesque and drinking - there's always something to do in Manchester - Arthur Chappell

No point in others being interested since sergey is making up with her.
