It's all new for me!!
For the first time since being widowed I decided to give up Facebook and join this forum...and at the same time joined the local over 50's club in the village! Well, tonight is quiz night in the village and I signed up!! But, I'm really shy, and can therefore seem a bit aloof, so has anyone else faced these first time nerves? And if so, how did you overcome them?

Im sure when you get there Den, a friendly face will make you feel at ease... Thats the way I've found those ocassions to be ...I love a quiz and you will be part of a small team so, should be fine. If not, leave it next time !
Let us know how you get on tonight - I bet, you will enjoy the night

Re: It's all new for me!!
As soon as you walk in smile and say to people ' It's the first time I've been to a quiz night and I'm a little bit nervous' Immediately the ice is broken and people will reassure you.I find that if you are interested in other people and don't talk about yourself too much then people warm to you. Listen to what people are saying and ask questions. Whatever you do don't take things too seriously and if you get something wrong be willing to laugh about it.
Have a lovely evening and let us know how you get on.

think full bottle of wine could lead to the wrong conclusion but perhaps one of the small bottles they sell in supermarkets may be better.Chap I once worked for told me he had 2 glasses of wine per night never any more.........didn't tell me each glass held 1 bottle though.

And I can just imagine that chap...I have a couple of glasses here that just gather dust...each holds half a bottle of wine! I won't be taking one of those tonight
