The Original Social Friends Club, founded 1992

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.....

Social Friends was formed in May 1992 by four friends :-

Nigel Mannheim (Chairman)

David Scott (Editor)

Trevor Gent (Prospective Members)

Sylvia Harley (Treasurer)

These friends wanted to provide a local non-profit making Social Club that did not involve traveling too far and did not cost the Earth to join. Following several meeting between January 1992 and May 1992 it was decided to form the Club Social Friends.

During the first year the club went from having no members to over 100 and since then has settled at around 130 - 150 members, with usually about another 20 - 40 prospective members at any one time.

When the club first started we used to meet at the Moat House in Boune End. This is now known as the Watermill Hotel and is shown in the picture below:-

Once a year in May (when the club started) we hold our AGM when any of our members can stand to be on the committee and make a contribution to running the club. In addition we have our own constitution which has been created over the years from input from our members and committee members.

E-Mail Social Friends or better still come to our monthly club night.
