☕️🎉 IT’S NATIONAL COFFEE DAY! 🎉☕️

Let’s be honest… life is better with coffee — and even better with friends! 💙🥰

☕ Coffee tastes better when there’s someone to share it with.
😂 Conversations are better when there’s plenty of laughter.
❤️ And friendship? Well, that’s what Tangent is all about!

Tangent is a national friendship organisation for women aged 45+, bringing women together to enjoy friendship, fun, laughter, new experiences and being part of something special.

So, whether you’re a latte lover, cappuccino queen, espresso enthusiast or good old-fashioned tea-and-coffee girl, why not raise your mug today and celebrate the friendships that make life brighter? 🥂☕️

✨ Fancy making some new friends too?
Come and discover Tangent!

Because sometimes all it takes is one cuppa, one conversation and one new friendship. 💙

☕️ Cheers to coffee, friendship and being by your side! ☕️

🎨💙 It’s National Play-Doh Day! 💙🎨

Who remembers Play-Doh? The squishing, rolling, moulding, cutting and mysterious creations that never quite looked like the picture on the tin! 😂

Well, at Tangent, we think there’s something to be said for moulding things into a new shape…

Because life after 45 is the perfect time to reshape your social life too! 🥰

Maybe the children have flown the nest, you’ve retired, moved to a new area — or you simply fancy meeting some new friends and having a bit more fun.

Squish it. Shape it. Change it. Have fun with it!

And remember, unlike Play-Doh, friendship doesn’t dry out! 😉💙

Find your local Tangent club and discover friendship, fun and laughter with women aged 45+.

Are you looking for a bad (or good) poetry time (or non poetry time)? Then reach out to us.
We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month in and around Reading. Reach out to us on here or at [email protected]

🎉 Happy Bad Poetry Day! 🎉

Today we write poetry that’s wonderfully bad,
So here’s a little rhyme to make you glad:

There once was a club called Tangent,
Where friendship is frankly quite rampant.
For women forty-five plus,
It’s friendship, not fuss,
And the laughter is often extravagant! 😄

We meet, we chat, we laugh and we share,
Make new friends and show that we care.
With friendship and fun,
There’s always a good one—
And Tangent is somewhere to dare!

So celebrate Bad Poetry Day with a rhyme,
And make new connections while having a good time.
If friendship sounds right,
Come join in the light—
Tangent could brighten your day anytime! 💜

🌍💜 Happy World Refill Day! 💜🌍

Today is a wonderful reminder that small changes can make a big difference. World Refill Day encourages us all to reduce waste by choosing reusable bottles, cups, containers, and shopping bags whenever we can.

At Tangent, we believe that caring for our communities goes hand in hand with caring for our planet. Whether you're refilling your water bottle, taking a reusable cup to your favourite café, or finding simple ways to reduce single-use plastics, every action counts.

Why not share your favourite refill or reuse tip in the comments? Together, we can inspire one another to make sustainable choices while building the friendships and connections that matter most.

Here's to friendship, community, and a greener future for generations to come. 🌱

⚽🌍 The World Cup excitement is here! 🌍⚽

At Team Tangent, we know that great teams are built on friendship, support, laughter, and shared experiences — values that women over 45 bring in abundance every single day.

As the world comes together to celebrate football, we’re celebrating something special too: continuing friendships, new adventures, and the incredible community found within Tangent Clubs across the country.

Whether you’re cheering from the sofa, watching with friends, or enjoying the atmosphere at your local club, this is your reminder that life after 45 is still full of energy, connection, and teamwork.

Here’s to the spirit of the game and to Team Tangent — where friendship always wins. 💙
