Comments by Bolton Talkin' Table members.
Kath. Life was not meant to be lived alone. The world is a better place when friendships are born. Talkin' Tables is enhancing and bringing joy to many lives.
Alison. Talkin' Tables came to me when I was in greatest need. It has been one of the most special experiences in my life. So much so, that I was pleased to be asked to host my own table, I was very happy to do so.
Dave. They provide a focus for the day, a chance to know others which was missing in my life. it's a place where everybody knows your name and people come together as friends who show they care.
Joan. Attended for the first time, very welcoming, interesting people with lots of varied conversations. I will definitely be coming again.
Various people.
The atmosphere is lovely.
I felt so calm and relaxed, once I'd plucked up the courage to go, as they were so welcoming.
It's a friendly, welcoming little community, sharing not just drinks and food but humour, diversity, kindness and thoughtfulness.
