FFSIW - Forties Fifties Sixties Independent Women
This group offers the possibility of a new community of like-minded independent women at an age when they have time and enthusiasm to get back out there, meet new people and see what this next phase of our lives has to offer. An opportunity to get out and about in our beautiful city of Belfast and enjoy all its social/cultural opportunities and the wonderful countryside and beaches that surround us.
The below description may seem long but I would ask that you read it carefully. I want to set out clearly the structure/rules/ethos of the group so there are no misunderstandings.
I don’t envisage this group having hundreds of members. I don’t mind if there are only 20. What matters is that those who are members are active, engaged and truly looking for connection, camaraderie, understanding and potentially the holy grail of long-term friendships.
In the last couple of years I returned to Belfast after a long time away and am looking to expand my social circle to be able to enjoy connection, make friends and take advantage of all the amazing experiences that Belfast offers.
Why now? Well, we are about to welcome the start of a new year offering a clean slate and the opportunity to reset and look for the opportunities that lie all around us.
I have been a member of a number of meetup groups and an organiser in a few and there are common themes that turn up in most: No-shows and late cancellations at events; never seeing the same person twice; intermittent event planning; and personality clashes. To name a few.
What I want is a group that focuses on connection, camaraderie, understanding and potentially friendships. With a robust framework and ethos that prevents the above problems.
My commitment:
· I will fund the costs of the group for an initial 6 months to allow it to get established. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
· I will also commit, from January, to organising a minimum of 2 coffee meetups, one meal/dr
