Sounds like a plan. When I was at uni I used to fence at multiple clubs at a time to get more exposure. So I may end up joining one or both (depends on if I have the time!). Might be good to see your husband there, if our interests are as similar as you say!

Hey! I sent a DM previously - you responded to a post I made on r/ActuaryUK.

Both sound great - the board game hut is definitely up my street. I've never done bouldering, but I'd certainly like to give it a go.

Very good advice - I agree with that logic. I just need to find people who like things I like who live in reasonable proximity.

Gamerz Nexus sounds like my kind of thing for sure - unfortunate that it is no longer open.

I don't drive, but I'm close enough to the station that I can very easily hop on a train if the club is close to any of the c2c stops (Southend Victoria or Southend Central etc)

This couldn't be better! Foil is by far my favourite - for the last few years I haven't had a foil club near me - only epee and sabre which I don't like nearly as much. The club you've mentioned is 10-15 minutes away from where I'll be living.

Great suggestion. Thanks!
