The organisers say they Identified that the women’s scene in Brighton was due an injection of fun, a group of lags sharing a shot of tequila decided to organise a good night out.

Inspired by a visit to London’s South Bank surfing, they clinked a glass, picked a date, organised a face book page, and chose a sparkling Brighton venue. ‘

Take 1’, the virgin social, attracted over 160 women, and Take 2,3,4 attracted similar number. The venues chosen to hold the events are thrilled with the business and atmosphere of the evenings; as are the women who have come.
