Meetup.com is a good place to hunt for social events. You tend to find most of the groups on there are full of people who are new to the area.
https://www.meetup.com/West-End-Boardgames/ is a good one however its only 1-2 times a month if you after a boardgame or two (not generic stuff like culedo or monopoly). If you / the group don't know the rules the event organizer makes sure everyone gets up and running.
Vanguard centre has Archery if your after something a bit more active (You can turn up to any session and they will give you an intro as long as you prebook) |
