We started the year in Leeds, taking in some of the local bars and hotspots. We had lots of fun checking the city out and found plenty of fun and interesting places for our Leeds members to go on a night out.<\/p>\n
But our favourite place had to be The Roxy Ball Room, which may or may not have gotten its name from the ping pong tables in the venue\u2019s back room. Nothing beats beer and ping pong for a fun time – whatever time of day!<\/p>\n February – Festival Time<\/strong><\/p>\n Most festivals don\u2019t start until the summer but February was highlighted in our calendars for one of the country\u2019s biggest beer festivals.<\/p>\n The CAMRA National Winter Ales Festival took place at the Roundhouse in Derby and we can\u2019t wait for 2015 for another round!<\/p>\n March – Our First Ladies Night<\/strong><\/p>\n Back in March we hosted our first ever Ladies Night – an all-ladies event just for our female members in Leeds.<\/p>\n So it was all about lip-gloss, new shoes and letting our hair down (or wearing it up if that\u2019s your thing) and really letting loose. It was a massive success and one of our best events of the year.<\/p>\n April – Suns Out, Guns Out<\/strong><\/p>\n With summer just around the corner, we decided that combining exercise with socialising would be a great way to have some fun with friends whilst seeing positive results. So we really pushed you guys to find as many ways to get in-shape together as possible. Hope it paid off!<\/p>\n June – Ladies That Lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n In June we saw a surge in women-only events; namely lunchtime get-togethers for a few cocktails and giggles. Thusly, Ladies That Lunch was born and a string of regular events followed throughout the rest of the year in Derby and Leeds.<\/p>\n July – 10 Hour Party People<\/strong><\/p>\n Admittedly, we didn\u2019t last the full 10 hours at The Made in Leeds Festival but we did have a great time.<\/p>\n![\"image1\"](\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/image1.jpg\")
