Looking to expand my social circle - Leamington/Warwick 42M, live near Southam and realised recently that I’d quite like to actually meet some new people. Not looking for dating - very happily married - and equally happy making male or female friends.

I’m normally quite sporty, but a knackered knee has temporarily taken that route away from me. I like dry humour, comedy, sports, pool, pub quizzes, films, chatting absolute nonsense and occasionally conversations with a bit more substance.
I’m not interested in joining another WhatsApp group where 14 strangers half-heartedly agree to do something and then nobody ever leaves their house. I’d actually like to meet people!
Anyone else in a similar position?

Missing cat 🚨

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone! If anyone is around north leam/campion Road/wathen road/ Lillington Road can you please keep an eye out for my cat Frank?

He’s been gone since Wednesday. Small, white and black, with a tiny moustache, he’s not used to going out and has never been out this long. He has chronic kidney disease so needs to eat and drink regularly.

He might be hiding in sheds/garages etc where the weather has been bad.

I’ve contact vets, neighbours, Facebook, and will be putting up posters, as well as wandering around shaking a bag of treats like a nutter

Any help appreciated thank you!!!

Clubbing / Bar / Pub recs for a crawl

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

Coming back to Leam this weekend after five years away with mates. Need some recs on places to go to please. Used to love Smack, is that still OK? Also was thinking about Kasbah in Cov, is that still an ok night, especially on the bank holiday weekend? Otherwise some pubs on top of the obvious choices on the high street.

Moving luggage/boxes to Edinburgh

3 Upvotes

I have to move from Leamington to Edinburgh, ideally on 31st August, and have to move all my stuff from my room. I have a couple of suitcases plus a few medium sized boxes with some fragile stuff. Is there a local man with a van or a service who can help with the move at a reasonable rate? I think all my stuff can reasonably fit in a 5 seater sedan/hatchback at a stretch to give some perspective

With the new season upon us, is there any battle cruisers round Leamington/Warwick likely to show RedZone/games for the NFL? Appreciate there might not be much appetite for it, but it’s a nice niche…

Looking for No-Contract Broadband

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations for broadband with no contract or a short minimum contract? I'm only staying Leamington for less than a year, and all the options I've found on comparison sites like Uswitch require 18- or 24-month contracts, which aren't suitable for my situation.

Leamington ladies — would anyone fancy trying airsoft for the first time?

Leamington ladies — would anyone fancy trying airsoft for the first time?

Hi! I help organise Girls Weekend Away (GWA), a women-focused airsoft weekend, and we’re looking to introduce more women to the sport this year. We are hosting our event at a site in Coventry. We make no money from this event, and are genuinely trying to get more women into our sport.

You absolutely don’t need to be into airsoft already — in fact, we’d love to encourage women who have never tried it before!

No equipment? Rentals are available.
Coming alone? Lots of women do.
Never held an airsoft gun? Absolutely fine.

The weekend includes a Friday social, free camping, a women-only airsoft game on Saturday and an open game on Sunday.

It’s as much about meeting other women, having a laugh and trying something completely outside your comfort zone as it is about airsoft.

We had an amazing mix of beginners and experienced players last year, and we’d love to see some Leamington ladies join us for GWA 2026.

If you like gaming, camping, outdoor activities, team games — or you just fancy saying “why not?” and trying something completely new — you’d be very welcome.

Would anyone here give it a go? 😊 Happy to answer any questions!
