The Inaugural CitySocialising HQ Blog Post

Have you always found yourself inquisitive to know just what goes on behind the scenes at CitySocialising? Curious about the endless hours of hard graft put in to make sure everyone has a great time and makes lots of new friends? Or do you just want a ten-minute distraction from whatever you’re doing? Well if any of these, or indeed all of them, are true – you’ve come to the right place!

The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement at CSHQ. We’ve moved offices, leaving behind our dear friends at Kashflow, to be in our own place. We’ve had the launch of our very first Monster Mingle – which was absolutely massive and definitely good fun! And we’ve even been whisked away to 'sunny' Manchester to see one of the lovely CS crew getting married.

Our new office, and our first place of our own, is a cool converted warehouse floor complete with doors that open to thin air and its own pulley system. Must remember exactly which door opens to the toilet! I think it’s a home befitting of a cool young company like CitySocialising.

The Monster Mingle was a big success so a big thank you to everyone involved with it. Loads of guys turned out to mass mingle and meet a veritable shed load of other socialisers. I certainly met many people from all over the place, most of which seemed all the more friendly as the night went on and the drinks went down! Everyone seemed to love the little blue CS Monster pin badges as well, but don’t forget to bring them along to the next Monster Mingle where you can get a free drink if you show them.

Many of you will know the lovely Jonny Quirk who looks after all of our Northern cities on the CS radar.  If you have met him out at Social then I’m sure you’ll agree that he’s one of the most instantly likeable and friendly people you will ever meet. So it was with great delight, and not a little sentimentally, that the CitySocialising office packed its bags and took the long journey north to Manchester to witness Jonny marrying the love of his life, Hannah.

As you might expect from a man who spends his days putting on great events for people all over the North, Jonny and Hannah had arranged a beautiful ceremony and absolutely cracking party afterwards (from what I can manage to remember). In true CitySocialising style we had a great time making loads of new friends, but fear not, we’re not all socialised out – we’re just getting started!

The same can be said of this blog, so if you want to keep yourself entertained with the goings on at CSHQ keep checking back here.
