We’re going to have a great line up of Christmas-themed events coming up throughout December, so keep checking the Socialise in your City page for more details. There are already some posted up if you would like to start planning your festive social diary!
And in the spirit of giving, we’ll also have more choice for Bronze members throughout December.
We also have a few places left at our Christmas party on 10th December, book your place soon to avoid disappointment.
For November, we’ve got a full diary bursting with socials including a visit to Angel’s Antique Market, a Beer Lovers Paradise, West London Comedy, a Music Lovers Night at a fab new venue in Camden and a DIY Disco to name but a few socials coming up…
We’ve also got a new Comedy Lovers interest group under the Share Interests group. Expect to see a few of our comedian members joining up to this one.
Happy Socialising!

No we haven’t got Ricky Martin fever here in Liverpool – but now that CS Liverpool’s starting to take off, we’re all enjoying the many great Socials on offer which range from Salsa dance classes to live music, entertainment and latin drinks at award winning latin bar Alma de Cuba!
We’ve still got some great Music Month Socials to come in Liverpool with The Beatles Themed Pub Crawl this Saturday – so if you’ve been wanting to check out the Hard Days Night Hotel cocktail menu for a while – here’s your chance! On top of this, we’ll all be meeting up at Heebies for our totally free Music Lovers Meet on Thursday 26th November – so if music is your oxygen then make sure you sign up to this now!
We’ve also got some great Winter/Christmas Socials coming up in December: With regular trips to the Christmas Markets, Ice Skating and CS Festive Cinema we really are trying to fill the full spectrum of yuletide themed activities! (as always – if there’s something else you’d like to do – why not create your own Social)
It’s great that you’re all onboard and maximising your spare time because with CS Liverpool, it really is the place to be to meet new friends, share interests and make the most out of life in the city!
Hopefully see you down at our New Members Night on December 10th – it’s going to be another great night!
Take care

Glasgow’s had a busy month; from Glasgow City’s Sunday win over Celtic, to a visit by Scottish lad Gerard Butler for the movie premier of ‘ Law Abiding Citizen’ last Sunday, not to mention out great musical month at CitySocialising.
As expected Glasgow certainly didn’t disappoint with an impressive mix of jazz, rock, indie and alternative music on offer and we certainly made the most of it!
Before our final bow, we still some great socials left, so if you haven’t been out yet, remember to check out our ‘Music Lovers in Glasgow Drinks’ on the 26th and our ‘Groovy Musical Friday’ on the 27th.
Hope you enjoyed our Musical month and keep your eyes peeled for our great Christmas socials in December.

As our Musical month draws to a close, I can’t help but appreciate how great it’s been in Edinburgh.
Musical month gave us the chance to comb the streets of Edinburgh for the truly talented – and we weren’t disappointed.
Along with the popular venues like Cabaret Voltaire and the Jazz bar, we also discovered some great music gems, like the ‘Wee Red Bar’ at Lauriston Pl featuring indie, funk and alternative music plus cheapish drinks and the ‘Starbar’, another small and friendly pub with regular gig nights. If you’re in the mood for something different, make sure you check these out.
Before our final bow, we still have some great socials left including our karaoke night on the 20th our ‘Music Lovers in Edinburgh Drinks’ on the 26th and our ‘Saturday Night Fever’ social on the 28th.
Hope you can make it.

Jonny – CS Managing Editor (UK North) and Manchester Editor
Hey guys, we’re all incredibly busy here at CS Manchester – but the good news is that it’s all for you!
Our first ever themed month – ‘music month’ is now more than half way through and I think you’ll agree there’s been some great Socials put on by not just us, but all of you as well. We’ve got the really fun looking Saturday afternoon Tea Party taking place on the 21st November and our totally free Music Lovers Meet on Wednesday 25th November – if you (or anyone you know) has even a slight passing interest in music then sign up for this now – with some great music chat, drinks, the best background bar music in town (OFFICIAL!) and a top DJ playing later on – this school night out could be dangerous!
In case you’ve managed to block out all TV adverts and have tunnel vision when pounding the pavements, you can’t have missed that Christmas is just around the corner and we’ve been planning some great CS Socials for December which really shouldn’t be missed.
The Big Free Winter Party is on December 4th in a festively decorated Canal Street so if you want to come down for a great chance to meet new people in Manchester, socialise and share interests then this is another “must not miss” event!
On top of this we have Christmas Market Tours, Ice Skating and so many drinks Socials that you can’t really afford to spend a single night in this December. Just in case we haven’t got you covered make sure you set up your own members own Socials so as you take control of your social life by planning what, when and where you go!
As always, if you have any questions, feedback or just want to get in contact – send me a message on the site or drop me a line – jonny@citysocialising.com – I’d love to hear from you!
All the best,
Jonny

Wow how quickly November is passing us by and Christmas is fast approaching! We’ve seen lots happening throughout the first two weeks and even more still to come.
Firstly Leeds has some new hosts! So hopefully you will be meeting them all very soon.. and as you all should know there is the new editor, me- Jenny!
The Leeds city socialisers have been out in force, we ventured to to Roundhay for the annual fireworks night, chilled out with Jazz on a Sunday, saw the Leeds lights get switched on and enjoyed a delicious curry at Akbars.
Numbers on all of the socials are increasing, with the curry night at Akbars tempting 10 members along to what was a brilliant night with amazing food!
Still left to come is tonight’s Jazz night which is being host by a new Leeds host, Nick. So pop along and say hi to him! Then we’ve got the Bronze and Silver drinks night which I will be hosting, only 4 places left so hurry up and get booked on to that one. Expect lots of fun, chatting, cocktails and a damn good night!
Then next week kicks of with a new members night hosted by me, so far we’ve got 11 newbies booked on, which is great! If you are a regular city socialiser and fancy coming along, your more than welcome to, so come share your socialising wisdom with them!
Christmas is officially here with our first visit to the German Christmas Markets next week, followed by karaoke fun on Saturday night! We know you all sing in the shower so why not come along and show us how good or bad you are..
Also some more news, I have been made editor of the Sheffield site, which I am extremely excited about. I think some joint socials will be called for so please feel free to get in touch with me with any ideas!!
See you all very soon!

Even though the summer party at Oh So Social seems a long time ago, the passion and enthusiasm for Socialising of Brighton CS members hasn’t been dampened by the recent downpours, and there seems to be even more of a willingness to go out and make the most out of the best city in the UK!!
Music Month has started brilliantly with our special night of X Factor and Karaoke at which all members sang there hearts out and generally took over the venue and the DJing! Last week we had an excellent night at The Brunswick for their Open Mic Night and apparently may have just discovered the next big thing! Next week there’s the excellent Jazz, Funk and Soul Lovers night to look forward to as well as our Pop Quiz on Monday. Now Brighton members have a reputation for winning quizzes so hopefully Aisling’s going to lead her team to victory! (she’s been burrying her head in her old copies of Smash Hits just to make sure!!) However she will need your help so getting booking your place!
Also of note this month is the excellent 20’s night organised by Natalie that’s going on tonight with the ladies heading up to Koba to have the traditional CS Brighton tipple of a cocktail or two! And while we’re on Member Socials, there’s the brand new book circle organised by Elizabeth, now in it’s 3rd week. If you like books then get involved!!
What a start to the month in Brighton!

If you’re waiting for the weekend and can’t wait to get started, there are a few places left on tonight’s socials – an excellent 80’s inspired Fondue night, great live music in Camden or some drinks & conversations at one of London’s most historic and welcoming pubs…
And heading into Friday, we’ve got plenty to keep you occupied! If you’re central, join us for drinks in the West End or in London Bridge, both at popular, lively bars.
Get out and about on Saturday with a special Beatles walking tour or a visit to the Fashion & Textile Museum to take a look at a stunning 1960’s exhibition. For the night time,we have two excellent oppotunities to have a few drinks and a dance in Soho or West London.
And Sunday, lovely lazy Sunday, is best spent near Hampstead Heath, eating and drinking with a great, new crowd. Stroll in the Heath afterwards optional.
Have a good one!

Wow, what a busy two months!
After setting the challenge to see who could become our Super Socialiser of 2009, we’ve seen hundreds of you out socialising together across the whole UK! From Saturday night bevvies in Liverpool to those on a bike ride from Brighton to Worthing, CS members from North to South have organised and enjoyed a huge range of activities.
September saw a group go Ten Pin Bowling in Newcastle, a late night visit to the Science Museum in London, and some chilled drinks in Didsbury, Manchester. October kicked off with the Big Manchester City Centre Party (no. 4), and then there was no stopping you! Members created their own Socials to enjoy Afternoon Tea, Sunday Roasts and City Drinks, and finished the month in spooky style with a haunting terror tour of the Edinburgh vaults and the almost Halloween London ghost walk.
With more than 40 entrants to the first draw, we’re happy to announce that Caroline Berrie is the lucky winner for her Edinburgh vaults Social! Caroline will be receiving 3 months CitySocialising Silver membership, £150 of vouchers from Marks & Spencers, Amazon or Starbucks and a CitySocialising T-Shirt!
And our CS Super Socialiser 2009 is……. Ken Getty, a (now infamous and incredibly popular) member of our London network.
With multiple entries into the big draw, Ken was a likely winner from the very start of the competition! Through September and October, not only did he organise a daytrip to Oxford for him and 23 other members, he also hosted Friday evening outdoor drinks for over 100 CitySocialisers and welcomed 112 members to his Oriental night.
Ken also organised Socials at the Thames Festival of Light and the Regent Street Festival, introducing our members to some of London’s most exciting events and truly earning his crown as the Super Socialiser 2009!
Ken is now the proud recipient of the latest mini Sony VAIO Series W laptop, 6 months CitySocialising Silver membership and, most importantly, a CitySocialising T-Shirt!
Why not drop Ken a quick message to congratulate him and find out his secrets to organising and promoting successful Socials.

Novembers finally here and in Glasgow we’re very excited about our ‘Musical month’. With a fantastic variety of musical events in Glasgow we’ve been able to select the best ones just for you, resulting in a perfect blend of rock, indie plus a spot of Curry karaoke!
Over the past few months CitySocialising in Glasgow’s growth has been phenomenal, with over 200 new members in October alone so there’s no better time to head out and make some new friends.
For new members a good place to start is our New Members night on the 10th of November. We already have 23 guests booked and it’s FREE for all so rsvp now to make sure you don’t loose out!
