My husband and I moved to Ipswich during the pandemic. We tried for nearly two years to meet people and make friends but it was so difficult to really connect with anyone locally. We nearly gave up hope until we came to the first GSM Meetup. Week after week we met new people made friends and after two years we feel like we have such a large, close-knit community! We wouldn’t trade it for the world! We’ve met some of our best friends in Ipswich through GSM and we count the founders among them. We feel so fortunate to have found such a welcoming, friendly group of gay men!
