Dear Everyone,

I've just moved to Manchester, (UK) and I'd been waiting to go to my first munch when I got here. And here I am! So being the little geek I am I liked to get as informed as I can before I go. Im not at all shy but I get worked up about meeting other "community" people before I go, so I wanted to know from all you experinced Dommes and subs any advice you could give a young Miss going to her first Munch.

Lucky you, Manchester has quite a bit going on. I've been to munches and club nights there and had great nights. Most are very friendly.
My advice is to be yourself. If you go to www.informedconsent.co.uk they have a board there for Manchester and you could possible get to "chat" to people before the munch.

Good luck and have fun.

Thank you muchly! Someone already sent me this site a few days ago in a message, Im waiting for the 7 day wait period before I can chat and post on the message board. And yes Im excited, I've heard great things about the community here in Manchester. To have been a former American living in florida, I felt quiet confined so Im taking advantage of a much more accepting place.

Best advice I can give you is to remember a munch is no different then any other social event. You'll find groups you fit in with as well as those that you do not.

Don't judge a munch group on just one visit. Attendence changes from meeting to meeting. Don't be afraid to show up and not order food, it's not a requirement at most (I only know of one that requires you eat and those also require prepayment for the meal). Try to not linger at a near by area and just "watch".... gives some people the creeps ya know? lol The ones we attend have a designated person that is "in charge" of the munch and they will take you around and introduce you to others. Typically they watch for new faces and will approach you, but don't be afraid to let someone know you are new if they don't approach you first.

Most of all, just relax and be yourself. Be prepared for the conversations to be purely vanilla and as most are in a public venue, dress casual to blend in at say... Applebees?

Enjoy!

I attended my first ever munch last week, in Birmingham, just down the M6 from where you are now. Here's my writeup on IC.
