Friend of my has moved to Lewes recently, and loves it, but is missing some of her old friends...
Can anyone give any pointers on groups/networks for a lovely 30something year old female for meeting/making new friends...

Does your friend enjoy singing? Would she like group singing lessons/voice coaching by two very prestigious professionals in Lewes (Paul Austin Kelly and Carol Kelly)? She should go to lewesvoiceworks.org to see what it's about. It's a fun group which meets every other Thursday evening for two hours; we learn to improve our breathing and vocal technique. to read music, and to sing a wide range of songs (from opera to blues, to musicals to religious music) in 3 or 4-part harmony. All for £10 including wine! Tell her to call 483424 if she's interested... Classes start again on 15 September. And on Tuesdays, 9.15 to 10.15, Angela Spencer runs a lovely 'A Capella' singing group (Larks). We sing folksongs etc. in harmony, but with no knowledge of music or technique needed at all - just a love of singing! Classes start again on Tuesday 13 September. Lots of laughter guaranteed!

There are lots of nice people locally on Twitter, so that could be something she might like to try.
There's a monthly 'real-life' meetup too - next one is at the Pelham Arms on Wednesday 7th September (from about 7.30)
See the link...

I found AFF rather interesting for meeting new friends, depends what one is looking for. Smiling in the Supermarket is also a good way to get chatting and who knows, once met a darling at the Cheese counter in Waitrose, Lewes, had some fun times with that little Cheddar I can tell you.
