To ask what would you think of a local cinema group for women?

I've often thought it'd be nice to have a social group on Facebook where women can post if they fancy going to the cinema but have no one to go with. I have DH and friends to go with and don't mind going alone. But I'm very confident socially. I know others who aren't. I've often thought this. Could even lead to friendships. They could go as a group and car share.

We have a local Facebook group I could advertise it on. Plus a community centre. I know the manager of that so might contact her and we could maybe do something together?

Ive never been to the cinema on my own, and sometimes go with family if forced. I'd join if you were local! Nice film, discussion afterwards. Just like a nice book group.

I go on my own but I'd give your group a go if it was local

I'd use it. I used to be a member of a similar group but for theatre shows.

It is a good idea OP, but it might be best to approve members before they can join as the most recent post in it looks like a troll (not a very good one as it's a brand new profile and the photo is clearly 2 of the actors from Breaking Bad 🤦‍♀️).

Good luck OP!

Good idea

I'm in a group like this - once every couple of weeks, someone will post about a film they want to see, we then choose a row we're going to sit in at the cinema and then all just book our own seats - we usually go for a drink or something before or after as well, it's lovely

Nein9 did you go through the whole list of members?

givethat I'm glad it's successful 🙂

I think I would quite like this. I’m happy to go on my own but it’s fun to meet new people. But without the commitment of having to ‘make friends’.

Amazing - I'd definitely go!

No, it was just a post in it from someone that had a fake profile picture (since they'd used actors from Breaking Bad), and looking at their profile it was brand new so I'm guessing it's a troll!
I was interested to see if there was anything similar near me but there isn't at the moment.

Start one or see if there's one on meetup.
