Apart from the fact I am actually quite shy and still plucking up the courage to go to a local meet (pathetic at age I know) the old boyfriend is finally having his next spine operation next week so all things are pretty much cancelled for the next 6 weeks. Then subject to that we are going to starting actually doing fun stuff again - roll on the boozy cruise from Helsinki to Stockholm with a bunch of thirsty Finnish colleagues - yay.

However, to the original post - I think that is really a lovely thing to write up for the shy ones amongst us. Deep down we all know that everyone is friendly and helpful. Nice one. xx

Look out for next year and get yourself along

And good luck for hte b/f with his op

I'm a shy one, As most people know... But The ball is such a grate time, As you get to spend time with people you may have met, Or just spoke to, or just seen post on here.

Also as one of the youngest active members it some times feel quite never recking to talk to people you have no idea who the are, But once you find out there user name and you spoke to them before its so easy and every one gets on so so well

Its possibly one of the best events iv ever been too. The Friday night is also a great night, As if your a bit worried about meeting tons of new people. Its a heads up of who is who

Evey one who is unshore about going should just take the plunge it is well worth it, And you will have one of the best times of your life

I'm shy too but you have to make the effort, and in my experience it's always been worth it
The Charity Ball is a great night with fantastic people, and boy do we have FUN Yes we get dressed up, yes it's different to all the other events, but it's no less friendly or fun. It's something special to look forward to, many of us make a whole weekend of it, and it's certainly memorable. I get to meet new people every time and it'd be brilliant to meet more of you. Go on, make the effort... you won't regret it
