Is this your first time visiting a club? If you're going alone, contact the club ahead of time or check their website to see if they have a policy on single males. Some clubs limit the number of single males to keep the sex ratio somewhat balanced. Go on a weekend and there's more likely to be other people there you can talk to. Bring a book or magazine or something, in case you get bored. Have fun!
I've checked, and they dont have a limit for males which saves me a lot of time!
The 'worrying' thing about it is i'm not sure i want to go alone. i know that i'll have to in the end, but its different from the swim. at least there was always something for me to do, and i dont really want to be the idiot sitting in the corner doing nothing whilst everybody else plays table tennis!
any advice or comments?
