Then you may like to hear about this new free (non-spamming) UK-based web
service...

SharedInterests is a website service that lets people & clubs sharing
similar interests find and get in touch with each other.

Doing just what it says - www.SharedInterests.co.uk allows members to
register their interests (and UK postcode) in order to see just who else is
into the same things, and how close they are.

Membership is free and users can suggest their own clubs or specialised
interests if they are not already on the site. Members' contact information
is safeguarded and can be made extra secure by using a nickname.

You set your personal details that others see about you in the "Edit My
Details" section. Here you may post up a picture or fully protect your
identity by choosing to use a nickname.

If you cannot find your particular interest, then please click the "Suggest
an Interest" link. Similarly, you may also "Suggest a Club" that you would
like to see mentioned on the site.

This is an excellent way of finding like-minded individuals and
organisations in your own neighbourhood.
