It was a pleasure to see so many new and familiar faces at our social events this September as we celebrated Oddfellows Friendship Month. The buzz you get from being in friendly company is indisputable, so thank you to everyone who came along to make this year’s celebrations so enjoyable and uplifting.

As a local friendship group, we host social events and activities in and around Halifax throughout the year. If you missed our most recent tasters but would still like to give us a try, we’ve lots coming up, including a Big Brew coffee morning and games fundraiser at our Coleridge Street hall in Halifax for the local Overgate Hospice on Sat 19 Oct at 11am. Anyone is most welcome to join us.

We know that people can often feel anxious about the one-on-one nature of making new friends, but giving one of our group events a go definitely takes the pressure off this. They’re hosted and you can join in as much or as little as you want by leading the conversation or by simply sitting back and listening. The important bit is that we’re getting together.

I’m happy to send any interested readers a schedule of upcoming events. You can get in touch with me at [email protected] or call 07572 986452. You can also find details of our events at www.oddfellows.co.uk/events.

We look forward to meeting you soon.
