Picture
Wakey, Wakey, Rise & Shy!

A gay meet-up combining a brisk, morning fun run with a delicious breakfast. Guaranteed to make you feel refreshed and rejuvenated and set you up for the week ahead. And what better date to spring forward than Sunday 29th March, to welcome in the longer daylight hours and much needed sunshine?​

​​Note: since the clocks go forward, I'm scheduling in this meet-up an hour later than the previous 2 Rise & Shy's to give you guys an extra lie-in ;)

Shine & Dine @ The Coriander, Vauxhall

6/3/2020

 
Picture
Hello Guys!

Shine & Dine is a general food and drinks gathering, a chance for us to get together, have a laugh, catch up and make some new friends and acquaintances along the way. A chilled group for gay and bi men to meet each other in a relaxed non-judgemental environment.

For foodies and food-lovers alike, Shine & Dine's past gastronomical ventures have included Pizza Express, Nando's, Las Iguanas, Wahaca and Kimchee.
Next Friday we're doing a cosy little dinner at The Coriander, situated by The Eagle, RVT and Voho's gay quarter, to warm us up in the last hurdle of winter.
A delicate blend of Northern Indian and Bangladeshi flavours combine to create a unique taste to tantalise all palates. They always use fresh ingredients, locally sourced produce where possible and have most of your traditional favourites within their extensive menu (https://sites.kukd.com/thecoriander-london/menu) at a very reasonable price.

We hope you will join us!
Cheers

DETAILS

To keep things light and simple, numbers are limited to 6 places so do register early to avoid disappointment! And if you're unable to make it this time, we will be trying out a couple more ideas and scheduling in some more meet-ups in the coming weeks so we can meet up on another occasion!

I'll bring a large sign so you can quickly find us on arrival and stickers will be provided on which to write your name. Being shy and introverted can mean you’re concentrating so hard on getting the interaction right, you often forget their name or forget to ask (I’m prone to that)!

I don’t charge fees for attending our meet-ups. All I ask is that a one-off discretionary donation is made for your first time. This is to help cover the cost of running the group. Meetup groups are not free to run and cost £180 over the course of a year. I've put a link below (Paypal) where you give a one-off donation of £10 (or any amount) to help out. The group will always remain free so there is no obligation but it would be greatly appreciated. The link works on both desktops and smartphones.

    Shy Bi's & Gay Guys

    I run the "Shy Bi's & Gay Guys" & "London Gay Socials" groups on Meet-up.

    Shyness and social anxiety can hold guys back from forming meaningful platonic and romantic relationships. It can be tough enough ‘coming out’, but being introverted can make it even more of a challenge and sometimes you need a gentle push.

    So, whether you consider yourself to be ‘gay’, ‘bi’, ‘bi-curious’, ‘pansexual’ or any other label; whether you are ‘in the closet’, ‘out’ or in the process of ‘coming out’; whether you are vulnerable or feel at risk, this group brings us together. We embrace those who have experienced depression, anxiety, loneliness or isolation, especially if you may be considered on the spectrums of ADHD, Autism & Asperger’s, Bipolar, OCD and/or Schizophrenia.

    You may be a highly sensitive person who experiences intense highs and lows to an extreme degree. You may be an artistic Creative with a vivid inner world hidden and locked away. You may feel easily overwhelmed by large groups of people, unsettled by the turbulence of the LGBT dating scene or sidelined/neglected in a whirlwind of rapidly spinning social circles. Anxiety may have even prevented you from moving forwards in friendships and relationships with other people because you're afraid of either hurting or getting hurt. This Meetup group is designed for you!

    Have you ever taken years to build up the confidence to go to an event only to be disappointed? Want to attend an LGBT event but held back by your shyness? Simply come as you are. There’s no need to pretend anymore. This is just a get together for people who don’t want to be on their own, to feel comfortable and foster a nice, friendly circle of people. And if you want to come but don’t feel like talking much, then that’s cool, too! Take it at your own pace.

    Women are also very welcome! :-)
