New Issue of Social Group Magazine
Event Date : .
Posted On : Wednesday, August 25, 2010

Lots of secrecy has surrounded the forthcoming Social Group Magazine and Winter Events Programme, with organisers hinting of really special things ahead. Details of holidays to Crete, Caribbean, Egypt, Las Vegas, & France have already been released. However, little else is known about what has been planned and the rumours are that big things are afoot. Organisers have said that with hundreds of new members joining in recent months, it has made it possible for a big increase in what is on offer. Full details will be available shortly...

The new issue of Social Group Magazine is currently in the proof-reading stage. It is expected to be available from early September 2010.

"We're really excited about the brand new Social Group Magazine, which has has a complete revamp. We've had a bit more time to spend on planning what we do this time, and our forthcoming events programme is second to none! People are going to love us being able to offer much more for much less!" - Sales Director Cathy

"It's going to be the best time to be a Social Group member in years! We have a fantastic events programme and lots of very nice new members! The atmosphere has been really good at recent events and it's all looking very positive! We can't wait for people to see what we have come up with! It's absolutely brilliant!" - Managing Director Andrew

Somerset Social Group - Socialising Organisation
Event Date : .
Posted On : Tuesday, July 06, 2010

SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP is a SOCIALISING ORGANISATION.

We offer a programme of SOCIAL EVENTS - dining out, parties, dinner dances, live entertainment, theatre, cinema, concerts, wine tasting, quiz evenings, bowling, skittles, outdoor activities, archery, canoeing, boat trips, falconry, paintball, abseiling, horse riding, quad biking, walks, short breaks, and holidays - our next holidays are GREECE, CARIBBEAN CRUISE, EGYPT, LAS VEGAS, & FRANCE!

We are a respectable professional modern-style SOCIAL ENTERPRISE.

We are NOT a DODGY DATING AGENCY and we are NOT a SAD SINGLES CLUB. We don't supply "dates". However, this is of course a great way to make friends and to meet someone special!

Our focus is on socialising, having fun, and enjoying life! What people need most in life are friends of both sexes and lots of good company and good times! If you find romance amongst our hundreds of members, well, that's a very nice bonus! Yes, there's been lots of romances and lots of weddings over the years!

We have single people who are members. We also have couples who are members. We don't discriminate. Hundreds of people in their 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, & 60's, with some events for separate ages and some events aimed at everyone.

Many of our single members find membership a great way to meet someone, in a nice normal way, without any stigma, pressure, or awkward situations. We can offer hundreds of great people to meet, all in normal enjoyable social situations. If you do meet someone special and become a couple, you can still join in with all our fabulous events, activities, and holidays as a couple, and still have all your Social Group friends to go out with! We do have lots of single members, but couples are most definitely welcome too and won't feel out of place! In today's busy world, everyone can benefit from us doing all the work to organise an amazing social life for them!

This isn't a small amateur club. It's a professional organiser of all kinds of SOCIAL EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, & HOLIDAYS! As a member, you'll have the opportunity to have ALL KINDS OF FUN AND GREAT EXPERIENCES!

If you want the best, it can only be SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP!

IF YOU'RE ALL ALONE, WHO 'RE YOU GONNA CALL? ...Somerset Social Group! 08456 121 772

LONELINESS IS SERIOUS! All sorts of people can find themselves on their own. Celebrities famously reported as being lonely were politician Ted Heath, singer Freddie Mercury, and fashion designer Alexander McQueen, who sadly took his own life.

Here in the South West, back in 1997, one man decided to try to do something about loneliness. Andrew Haglington http://twitter.com/AHaglington decided what was needed was a ready-made "group of friends" that anyone could join in with, inventing modern-style SOCIAL NETWORKING and setting up the world's first dedicated socialising organisation utilising the internet.

Since 1997, Andrew's revolutionary groundbreaking idea has changed the world and helped thousands of people find friends and enjoy a better social life!

SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP organise a complete social life, with lots of local events across Somerset... dining out, parties, walks, outdoor activities, short breaks & holidays (BOOK NOW TO COME WITH US TO CRETE IN SEPTEMBER)!

FOLLOW SOCIAL GROUP FOUNDER ANDREW HAGLINGTON ON TWITTER AT http://twitter.com/AHaglington Here's some extracts from Andrew's Blog...

#starwarsday May 4th 2010 Happy Star Wars Day - MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!

I wonder, is a joint Cameron / Clegg government set to be the "dream ticket" for most voters?

#ukelection UK DEBT - Where did all the money go?

The 2004 Olympics in Athens cost around a staggering £10 billion. Can London still afford the 2012 Olympics?

iSocialHolidays Social Group Holidays - travel with a group of friends www.socialgroupholidays.com @iSocialHolidays 08456 121 770

Greeks are not ready to accept change & are blaming Germany... a cultural chasm has opened up between north & south Europe.

Simon Reeves "Tropic Of Cancer" features over-population, environmental damage, the danger of plastics, deforestation, species extinction...

#ukelection I would like to see fuel tax pegged back to £1 per litre maximum. I fear our economy is being put at risk by Brown's high petrol taxes.

#ukelection We run a 'small business' and feel Gordon Brown's high tax policies have almost put us out of business.

#ukelection I like David Cameron's focus on business and am encouraged by how many times he has said he would help 'small businesses'.

#ukelection I do like the Liberal Democrat idea of not paying any tax on the first £10,000 earned, and hope the Conservatives would also adopt this.

Very sad to hear that fashion designer Alexander McQueen killed himself because he was "lonely".

My Dad always told me, "If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well".

#bigotedwoman "It's ridiculous!" says angry Gordon Brown, before he begs Duffy for mercy! YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP!

#bigotedwoman BBC NEWS - "I can't believe it!" says lifelong Labour voter - Gordon Brown holds his head in his hand in shame.

If the government can give away billions to banks, why can't it pay for everyone in the country to have a solar panel on their roof?

Another idea... have a half way between junctions exit on motorways - open this when there is a jam, let traffic exit, & prevent long jams!

@BrendanSheerin Brendan - Congratulations on the 49 day Coach Trip on Channel 4! How you had the patience, we don't know!

I'm reminded of another Scotsman off Dad's Army... "We're doomed!" seemed to be the mantra of the day!

A special treat for all Social Group members - the new magazine has a coupon to JOIN ONE FRIEND FOR FOR FREE! That should go down well! :-)

David Blaine is reportedly gutted that his record of spending 42 days doing bugger all in a box has been broken by Dimitar Berbatov.

Following our computer problems, we are currently under a lot of pressure to finish the new issues of Social Group Magazine on time. Our team are working in shifts around the clock to get things finished. Despite the delays, we hope to have it all ready by the print deadline and published on time.

Members - you can help in a number of ways. By being patient and supportive. By booking for events on time. By not trying to book for things late. By not calling us outside our telephone opening hours. By being flexible with the events you want to take part in. By making sure you turn up to the events you have booked with us. And so on...

Any non-urgent or trivial matters, please don't email or telephone us about these for the moment. If you want to make a booking, that's fine. Otherwise, if it can wait, please do so. Many thanks.

PS Really glad everyone enjoyed the dinner dance last Saturday so much! We did too - and it was nice to see you all! Cheers!

SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP - message from the organisers
Event Date : .
Posted On : Thursday, March 18, 2010

Computer problems caused by our main PC burning out in a fire have caused delays in the last few months. We are behind with our work at the moment. We are catching up, but it has been difficult to operate our usual levels of service and there is still more to do. So your patience and support during this difficult period is very much appreciated.

An appeal has been started to ask for donations to re-finance the organisation, support all the good work we do to help people in our community make friends and enjoy a great social life, and help pay for the new hardware needed to run everything. If you are in a position to help, please make a donation, by sending a cheque payable to"SGE" to SOCIAL GROUP OFFICE, REVELSTONE, MARY TAVY, DARTMOOR, DEVON PL19 9PF.

Our team are working around the clock in order to try to catch up and to try to get the new issues of Social Group Magazine ready on time. Full details of all events for March and April are listed in the current issue of Social Group Magazine.

Please can we ask everyone to book before the stated deadlines for all events, and not to try to make late bookings, as this is not fair on us, as it does not leave us time to organise things properly. If you cannot get hold of our staff on the phone, please book by cheque via the post, and make sure this arrives well before the stated booking deadline, thank you.

Our team are very busy at the moment, so we are not able to cover the phones every day. Anyone wanting to join is asked to leave us a message on our answerphone #1, with your name and address - we will post you all the details - call 08456 121 772.

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! Social Group 'Stick it to The Man' & Support the Local Economy!
Event Date : .
Posted On : Thursday, March 04, 2010

MARCH 2010 - THE SOCIAL GROUP IS "STICKING IT TO THE MAN" & URGING EVERYONE TO GIVE A BOOST TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY!

A MONTH LONG CELEBRATION OF ‘SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL’!

LOCAL PUBS * FAMILY-RUN RESTAURANTS * UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL BUSINESSES

All events open to members in all areas! Come out, enjoy yourself, & help local people!

The idea of this is to encourage support for individuals, little firms, small players, local producers, farmers markets, family-run restaurants, local shops, the corner store, privately-owned pubs, and everything that is unique and individual in our culture.

These days, the Davids face an apparently impossible battle to compete with the Goliaths... When it comes to eating out, more and more, the same big chains are in every town - MacDonalds, KFC, Ask, Pizza Hut, Prezzo, Pizza Express, Chiquito, Zizzi, Bella Italia, Café Rouge, Old Orleans, TGI Fridays, Frankie & Benny’s, Nando’s, etc. The likes of the big pub chains such as Wetherspoons are looking for still more sites for pubs, while non-brewery owned freehouse local pubs are constantly closing down and being lost. Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Asda, etc. are constantly expanding - while up to 100 local shops a day are closing. In rural areas, many villages have been left without a single store and many have lost their post offices and pubs as well. While urban suburbs that once had thriving local shops only feature the lifeless, the graffiti-ridden, and the boarded up.

All losses of local services mean losses of local jobs and people needing to travel further afield.

Here at Social Group Enterprises Ltd. we run a unique local business, and we have first hand experience of all the issues, and of how challenging it has been to run a small business in recent years, with no support from the government and things just getting harder and harder for everyone. High costs, high taxes, expensive petrol, expensive utility bills, high bank charges, and ever more regulation. While the country has been put in debt to the tune of countless billions to help banks and big business, small local firms have received nothing and left to struggle through the recession.

We are also aware that the increasing lack of choice and individuality is arousing concerns, and for many, it’s beginning to feel like you can’t work for yourself and be your own boss any more!

What a sad state of affairs it will be if we all have to either work for big brother government or for big business, and all inventiveness and individuality is lost, or is just not economically viable any more.

Of course we enjoy the occasional Big Mac and Bargain Bucket, of course we find it convenient to shop at Sainsbury’s, and of course we rate many of the chain restaurants - we have no wish to knock success stories. No, we’re not saying big boys don’t have an important role in the modern economy. In many cases, we applaud how they have upped standards, with us frequently recognizing their contributions and seeing it as beneficial for everyone. However, we are sure everyone agrees that it’s not desirable to just want everything in this country to be run by the government or by big national and multi-national chains, especially firms where all the profits go elsewhere, out of the local economy, and often out of the country!

What we want to do this month is remind people that small local firms also have a place! This March, please do all you can to give local firms your full support and a much needed boost to their businesses! As much as you can this month, please do all you can to spend your money in locally owned shops, restaurants, pubs, etc.

AS FAR AS IS POSSIBLE, OUR MARCH EVENTS PROGRAMME WILL SUPPORT AND CELEBRATE ALL THAT IS LOCAL, INDIVIDUAL, UNIQUE, DIFFERENT, FAMILY-RUN, SPECIAL, PRIVATE, INDEPENDENT, ETC.

So for March 2010, please support our efforts to support the local economy and STICK IT TO THE MAN!

Somerset Social Group http://twitter.com/SomersetSG

The Social Group event this evening is at the same venue in Bridgwater, Somerset, but the venue has changed their name from 'The Levels' to 'The Bridgwater Steakhouse'. Apologies to Somerset members attending this, but organisers Andrew & Cathy will not be able to be at this event now, as we have a problem with another Social Group event, where Nando's restaurant have refused to book in a table for the group - so Andrew & Cathy need to be at Nando's to wait at the door for people and to try to get a table for this event. This need to be elsewhere for other members, means Andrew & Cathy cannot at the same time be in Bridgwater, as had been planned. If you are booked on the Bridgwater Steakhouse meal, please just ask for the table we have booked on arrival. Anyone free this evening (FRIDAY) who can take Andrew & Cathy's places at the meal at Bridgwater, please call us 1pm - 4pm this afternoon on 08456 121 772 and speak to Cathy. Hoping someone else can make an effort to be here and fill the spare places, as we don't like to let anyone down. All help appreciated. Cheers!

We have a nice group booked for the Helicopter Museum (indoor attraction, in the warm) at Weston Super Mare tomorrow, Saturday - we could still take a few extra last minute bookings on this social day out - give us a call today, Friday 1pm - 4pm if you would like to go.

Andrew & Cathy are intending to host the Social Group meal at TGI Fridays American Restaurant (next to the cinema) in Bath City Centre on Wednesday 3rd February next week - please call 08456 121 772 if you would like us to book you a place on this event!

Looking ahead, please book now for our Social Group Easter Weekend to The Peak District National Park & Sheffield - beautiful scenery, great shopping, superb dining out & nightlife, and the best of good company - YOU!

All suggestions for Summer events, May - September 2010, need to be sent in writing this week.

Make the most of your membership - we look forward to hearing from you soon! lol xx :-)

HEAVY SNOW FALLS ACROSS SOMERSET IN SOUTH WEST ENGLAND...

Up to 14cm of snow fell across wide areas of Somerset and there may be more to come!

SNOW / SOCIAL CARE - please check on your neighbours to make sure they are okay - especially anyone who is ill, disabled, or elderly.

FOR SOCIAL EVENTS IN SOMERSET, IT CAN ONLY BE SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP!
Event Date : .
Posted On : Sunday, December 27, 2009

IF YOU WANT THE BEST, IT HAS TO BE SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP!

You may have some friends you see... but do you meet new people from all walks of life every week?

ONLY SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP (AS PART OF THE SOCIAL GROUP UK) has a vast social network of the nicest people, with new people joining our "group of friends" right here in Somerset throughout the year!

No-one works harder to look after our existing membership. No-one works harder to bring in new people and make new members feel welcome and included. No-one provides anything like what we do right here in Somerset. No-one offers such a large choice of social events, dining out, parties, walks, outdoor activities, short breaks, and holidays!

SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP provides the best way to meet people in SOMERSET!

Over the years we've seen lots of amateur copycat little local clubs and cliques set up as "flavour of the month", only to close down a short time later and let all their followers down. Some are not run properly, some break the law and get shut down, some are elitist and don't make everyone welcome, some are too dull, and some are just not very good.

They do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. (They also say that imitation means someone is not bright enough to come up with their own ideas!) For our part, we just feel sorry for the people they delude and ultimately leave in the the lurch when they get into trouble or go bust.

Here in Somerset, SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP has been successfully running local social events since the 1990's. This was our own groundbreaking brand new concept, from the start we always treated everyone fairly, we always made absolutely sure that we ran the organisation within the law, we gave up our day jobs to dedicate ourselves to running this full-time, we always went the extra mile to look after our customers, we always treated everyone not only as clients but also as our friends, and while being fun we always made sure this was respectable and everyone was safe.

In addition, SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP has always offered extra value, with a FREE magazine for new members, more events, more discounts, and more work put into making sure we offer a unique service that you can't find anywhere else! That's why there is only SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP!

So while "shabby singles clubs" and "dodgy dating agency" type things have been set up again and again in a blaze of publicity, and always come and gone, SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP is still here.

We don't run SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP on gimmicks or on stealing other people's ideas. We just offer good service, original thinking, and put in the effort to do the job right. That's why SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP has carried on being successful year after year, and has become an important part of life here in Somerset. Run by husband and wife team, Andrew & Cathy Haglington - as featured by TV, press, & radio - SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP was our own unique idea, and remains the undisputed leader in the field here in Somerset. We offer the highest standards in customer service - and we run this "because we care"! We see it as a noble calling to do so much good for so many. That's why this is a "social enterprise", because while we aim to make an honest living, it's just as important for us to be doing something worthwhile with our lives.

"Loneliness" can be such a serious thing - for many people, having, or not having friends, well, this can be the most important thing in life! From the start, our social enterprise was all about helping others - helping people meet people, helping people make friends, helping people having fun, helping people gain in confidence, and helping people enjoy a great social life! This was different, in being both a professional business and also a community enterprise dedicated to helping people be happier and less alone. That's why we have had so much support from the media over the years, as journalists, reporters, presenters and editors could see how much good we were doing for local people. (Thank-you to everyone in the media who "got it" and gave us a mention - you guys have all been terrific!)

Over the years, we've met so many lovely people and it's been very rewarding to see such a large number of people get so much out of all we do. To be honest, even the people who joined SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP who were unrealistic and a bit unfair, and who didn't get on particularly well with us personally, all seem to have made friendships out of this - and naturally we are pleased for each of you, as there's nothing better than for all our hard work to mean something and for people to get so much out of it!

Remarkably, this has now gone even further. The dedication put into this by the organisers has not only changed life for the better for so many people, has not only helped countless thousands of people to find new friends, and has not only has it led to numerous relationships, weddings and new families... But our efforts have actually changed the culture and even our language - with us popularising the terms "Social Event", "Social Opportunities", "Social Activities", "Social Entrepreneurs", "Social Enterprise", "Social Networking", and of course "Social Group"!

In fact, with Social Networking now being all the rage, our many years of hard work and good intentions in devising and developing what we do have managed to change the world! Yes, it started right here! It's hard to imagine these days, but when we started SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP as one of the first parts of The Social Group all the way back in the 1990's, people actually queried what we meant by our use of the word "social" in this context! "Social" wasn't a word that was widely used anywhere (except with the British Government's "Social Services" of course), and it was hard for people to grasp the idea we had come up with as a mechanism in society to help put people in touch with each other. All these years later, it seems we've really had an impact on the whole planet - with the concept of social networking and socialising now being such a big thing! It's quite something!

Of course, our concept of social networking, in actually organising social events, dining out, parties, themed events, outdoor activities, and holidays that people can come along to by themselves and particpate in with a ready-made "group of friends", is still miles ahead of online social network sites which when you think about it are actually just about sitting typing.

So, if you are looking for friends and opportunities to socialise with nice people in the real world, you know you have come to the right place! As the people who wrote the book on social networking, with more experience and more expertise in this field than anyone else, here in beautiful Cornwall you'll have the best time with SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP!

So we hope you'll join in with the fun this coming year! THE MORE THE MERRIER!

Don't forget, you can't get what we offer ANYWHERE ELSE!

A unique organisation, run properly and professionally, SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP is simply the best!

For more information and to join by debit card or credit card, please call us on our low cost local rate line... telephone 08456 121 772 (open 12noon - 7pm, most days, 7 days.) We look forward to hearing from you soon, and hopefully to enjoying your good company and friendship for many years ahead!

SOMERSET'S FIRST! SOMERSET'S FAVOURITE! SOMERSET'S FINEST!
Event Date : .
Posted On : Friday, November 20, 2009

It's hard to believe these days that back in 1997, when Andrew Haglington started up THE SOCIAL GROUP, that there wasn't such a thing as social groups or social networking web sites! Even the word "social" was hardly used at all, certainly not in the sense it is now.

THE SOCIAL GROUP was the first and the original, offering something completely different and very special. Over the years, thousands of people, all across the South West of England have thought it was a fabulous idea - just what had been missing in their life - and have decided it was for them!

THE SOCIAL GROUP now includes not only Somerset Social Group, but also Cornwall Social Group, Devon Social Group, Bristol & Bath Social Group, and Social Group Holidays.

Today, the widespread use of the word "social" in the media and on the internet can all be traced back to Andrew Haglington's brilliant original concept back in 1997, when nothing like this had ever been done before!

It all started off with Andrew suffering some really nasty ill health during the 1990's and after his first wife left him at his lowest point, came out of his efforts to rebuild a life for himself and make some new friends. After experiencing just how tough life could be, it occured to Andrew that what was needed was a ready-made 'group of friends' to go out with and an organised social life which everyone could enjoy together. Andrew had seen there was something missing in society, a mechanism for socialising and making friends - so he set out to fill the hole, and make life better for people - and the rest, as they say, is history!

For Andrew, fighting to get back his health and doing so much for others went hand in hand. Going from 'ZERO TO HERO' didn't happen overnight - it took many long years of hard work and much trial and error to get it right. But perserverance won through in the end and today people regularly stop Andrew in the street to thank him and say The Social Group has transformed their lives!

As well as helping countless thousands of people to have fun and find new friends, lots of single people have met someone special and found romance. Andrew himself met his second wife Cathy through The Social Group, and there cannot be any better testimonial to this being something remarkable than that, with Andrew and Cathy now running The Social Group together.

Today, we offer the South West's Number One Socialising Organisation with an unrivalled events programme, hundreds of events and activities to choose from, a smart 150 page professional magazine, numerous web sites, fabulous bargain-priced holidays, all sorts of dining out and parties, regular walks and days out, hundreds of great people to meet and socialise with, and many more good times than it is possible to recall. "ALL FOR FUN & FUN FOR ALL!"

Here at The Social Group, everyone is made welcome - 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's age groups are all catered for, with some events for a mixture of ages and some events for specific age groups so you can meet people the same age as yourself! "THE MORE THE MERRIER!"

Looking to meet people and have more to do? We look forward to hearing from you soon!

The first Social Networking Website
Event Date : .
Posted On : Friday, November 20, 2009

THE SOCIAL GROUP not only invented the social networking website, but from the start took it a stage further. Not only would people enjoy communicating with each other and making friends, but they would be able to do this in person at organised social events, outdoor activities, and on holidays in the UK and all around the world. (Pictured here, a Social Group Holiday to Las Vegas, USA)

From the start, a lot of hard work went into organising a wide choice of dining out, nightlife, dinner dances, themed parties, sports, activities, and travel experiences. Each year, the choice on offer increased, with plenty being organised for all tastes and all pockets!

Expand your horizons and give yourself a better life! The Social Group offers you the best times and an outstanding social life!

We boarded our eagerly awaited voyage unprepared for our first breathtaking sight of the floating resort Andrew & Cathy had booked for us, an awesome 15 storey, 110,000 ton vessel carrying 3500 passengers and 1200 crew.

On board the ship there was never a dull moment, with 22 bars and lounges, two swimming pools, jacuzzis, water slide, spa, mini golf course, jogging track, table tennis, internet café, full sized theatre, numerous restaurants, sunbathing on deck, and a giant LCD screen loomed over Lido Deck’s swimming pool, showing pop concerts, movies and some of the 'fun' antics aboard our 'fun ship.'

The islands we visited were totally tropical Caribbean, with sunbathing on beautiful beaches, a feast of snorkelling on coral reefs, interesting sightseeing, and bargains to be had in the duty free shops. Iguanas posed for photographs under palm trees, with a backdrop of warm turquoise seas and white powder sand beaches. Welcome to paradise!

I especially enjoyed the Spanish / American city of San Juan, Puerto Rico, where Andrew & Cathy found us a free trolley ride around the city, followed by a look around the fascinating shops, then lots of fun at Senor Frogs lively bar, adorned with balloons and having our faces painted, and joining in with a friendly conga - yes that's right - in the middle of the afternoon!!

I would recommend this Social Group Holiday and would certainly love to do it all again. The food on the cruise was plentiful and delicious - including a self service buffet of gourmet delights, 24 hour pizzeria, Burrito bar, Sushi bar and even fish and chips - as much as you wanted, plus each evening we dined in style with 3 or 4 courses!

The ship was spotlessly clean. The dinner staff and the cabin staff were wonderful. We were thoroughly spoiled throughout the entire time. The en-suite cabins were spacious with ample room to walk around and plenty of space for clothes and toiletries etc., plus hair-dryers & TV.

The cruise was followed by time in South Beach Miami, topped by a wonderful meal at a place Andrew & Cathy recommended on the fashionable and elegant Lincoln Road, a very popular place with just about everyone. For me, the trip to the Everglades National Park where we saw alligators and took a ride on one of the famous airboats was another highlight, plus a boat trip around the homes of the 'rich and famous' in Miami.

All in all, a great time was had by everyone who took part. Highly recommended. Can't wait for my next cruise holiday with The Social Group! Thank you Andrew and Cathy for organising this wonderful holiday! It was great! Best wishes, Marjorie

Please book before Christmas if you want to go with us to fabulous Thailand next February! We have done this several times before and can take you to some amazing places in this beautiful country!

Yes, we will be looking at running another cruise holiday to the Caribbean - having done several of these now, we know the best ports of call and can help you have lots of fun and save hundreds of pounds!

The 2009 - 2010 Social Group Awards have been announced this week. Nominations come from Social Group members, local people, who have told us what their favourite venues are. Winners from the finalists are then selected by Social Group organisers based on the categories of hospitality, service, value, quality and style.

This year, value for money and how hard staff tried to make us welcome were given especially high consideration.

Congratulations to all our winners - and thanks for all your hard work in offering a quality product and working so hard to get it right! Each of our winners is being presented with a prestigious certificate, and you will be contacted this week about this.

For 12 years, SOMERSET SOCIAL GROUP has been Somerset's leading dining out and socialising organisation - these bi-annual awards support the best local businesses have to offer, celebrate a lot of hard work that goes on to give people in our region enjoyment and pleasure, and is a thank-you to the best managements and staff in the industry!

THE NUMBER ONE SOCIAL LIFE MAGAZINE - all new members are posted the current full colour 140 page issue of Social Group Magazine when they first join, with our compliments. This contains the entire “What’s On” events programme, and works like a giant menu, from which you can choose the things you fancy doing. You can come along to all our events by yourself and have a ready-made group of friends to enjoy everything with. In effect, we supply a group of friends for you to go out to dinner with, to go to the cinema with, to do leisure activities with, and generally to enjoy a great social life with! All the hard work in getting this large group of people together in the first place and in organising all the events is done for you - all you have to do, is come out and have fun!

THE BEST SOCIAL LIFE - Thanks to everyone for all the good company at recent events! We feel everyone has been having a great time recently and there's been a very good atmosphere, probably the best it has ever been. To be honest, we are delighted with how well things are going at the moment. Thank you to everyone for their good company and support, and thank you for all the nice things everyone has been saying - all the thank-you emails and messages have been very kind, and much appreciated. Of course, the more members we attract, the more we can put on for everyone, and the better this gets. So please tell all your friends! The more the merrier!

MUCH MORE COMING UP - There's lots coming up in the months ahead, with membership growing rapidly and a full programme of events planned in all areas. Social events, dining out, parties, dinner dances, outdoor activities, and a fabulous good value holiday to the Red Sea Coast of Egypt - where you can come home with a sun tan for Christmas!! If anyone else fancies this, please send in your deposit now, as we are trying to finalise this. We have people looking for someone to share with, so please come forward if you are on your own and looking for a good holiday with friends! Couples welcome too, of course. The holiday will be based on the Red Sea Coast of Egypt, where the sun shines every day and the sea is very warm still at the end of November, so it's great for sunbathing and swimming. Plus there is the chance of a lifetime to come with us to see the Pyramids in Cairo!!
