SATURDAY NIGHT DRINKS
After fan club night I couldn't wait to get back over Leicester again, another new group to try out. Bumped into 2 people I'd met from previous meets which is always a good thing.
The queen of Bradgate was our starting point for the evening with over 20 people sitting around one big table. It turned out there had been another meetup with another group taking place earlier that day. A couple of people turned up drunk from that meet and joined us to continue into the evening.
After an hour or so, several of the drunk people moved on because they wanted to go to a lively place with a dancefloor. We arranged to meet them at Lloyd's after we had drank up, from this point the group fragmented. Lloyds was a bit loud for that early in the evening especially when you are trying to have conversations with people you have only just met.
We decided to move on, with our group mixed with the other group, we walked down a street when suddenly some people would go into a pub while others walked straight on. I had to make split second choices on what to do.
Ended up in a pub called the tree with 3 others not from the start group which was right next door to where we started, a loud band was playing and to be honest it was not my thing. Got messages on the meetup app that half the starting group were in a place just round the corner.
The cozy club was the final call of the evening, it was more of an eating place and very quiet.
In my opinion we had done the night the wrong way round, it's best to start somewhere quiet and get to know people then move on to progressively louder places.
If I go somewhere quiet like that late on I just start to switch off, I left just after midnight, the night had been a bit of a disappointment.
