Testimonials from People in Derby
"I moved to Derby when I started university and decided to stay put after I finished studying. Almost six years later and most of my friends have either moved back to their home cities, or now find it difficult going out because of work and so forth. My social life disintegrated and I soon found myself stuck in a rut, staying home after work and trawling through old photographs on Facebook, wishing I could go back to happier times. I discovered Mixing Out and decided to give it a go. My first experience was quite daunting, there were quite a few people in attendance whom I'd never met before and I was so out of practice that I didn't know what to do. But as I walked in, a lady called Amy came over with her friend Melanie and introduced themselves. They made me feel very welcome, I ended up spending most of the evening with them and now they are really good friends.
Now we go to new events all the time, meet up with new groups of people and it seems as though my social life has never been better."
