This is very simple idea to help integrate local community. We hope our idea will help reduce loneliness, binge drinking, and encourage local business. End the days of sitting alone at home and eating your precooked food watching TV or sitting in front of the computer and chatroom in the internet.

Our website provides all that you need to promote, invite local people like you to join and is free. You will see links “Promote” to help you prepare invitations, flyers and cards. Just fill in details and print cards. You will be able to print small cards, which you can distribute or hand over to spread the news. You may also ask local shops, pubs and clubs to display flyers to encourage them to register. Soon you may find 6-10 people living near you have expressed their interest to join.

Next, contact your local pub, restaurants, local council hall or a school where you plan to meet. If you need a letter to help you seek their co-operation, please let us know we will provide you with one. Try to get them to allocate a day every week when our members are allowed to bring their own food and meet. Make sure members have access to microwave oven or get permission to use their kitchen to warm up food if necessary.
Most pubs will be happy to oblige because they often have days when they do not serve cooked dinners. Pubs are finding it hard to attract people and are desperate to attract customers. We spoke to some in our area; they are also keen to help us distribute flyers and cards locally.

Creating a local MeetnEat Club and organizing meetings will give you an opportunity, gain experience in marketing, communicating and entertaining guests. Meeting local people will also help you network and may help you start-up new business with the help from friends living near you. This we hope will contribute by creating jobs in your local community.

The rule of our club is to allow members to bring their own food (preferably home cooked), take away food, sandwiches, pizza or soft drink, bottle of wine and share it with others. This will give you an opportunity to taste different food and learn more about them and the people who prepare them. This will make your evening interesting as you may get variety of food to choose from. Gives you an opportunity to understand other cultures and help to integrate race, religion and nationality. You have will find these meetings comfortable to talk about food, health issues which are not controversial, non-political, religious and political.

We also hope to encourage health-eating habits, communication, ill health, depression and obesity. When you get familiar with members, please do not shy away from discussing personal problems, business ideas and projects. We are a group of doctors and businesspersons with more than twenty-five years experience. You will always find us helpful and will be supportive.

If you can find five pubs locally, then it is possible to have one day allocated in each pub, members can choose the day they meet. This we hope will encourage single, families or OAP (living alone at home) to get out from their house and walk-in to the local pub to eat with newfound friends. You may have about six to ten or more clubs like this in your area and will help you have wider circle of friends whom you can meet or speak to.

Our mission is to encourage people to meet and create a safe platform to communicate and exhibit their talent and exchange ideas. We encourage you to publish information about how you organized social evenings, meet similar groups in other area, when you travel on holiday or business.
