If you're club has an RSVP list for parties you can try checking that out to see if someone you know is going and try reaching out to them and let them know your situation. I know we would have no problem watching out/being there for someone if asked, and in fact do for some of our SF friends.
Thanks for the info. I do go to clubs alone and there is always that moment where I feel a little lost, but since I'm good at meeting new people, it passes quickly. I'm also picky about the rules of the clubs I go to (they have to allow single men, even if I have no intention of playing with a single man) and the amenities (there has to be an easy way to start conversations, so that means most of the space is away from the music).
I'm very friendly, but feeling alone is one of my worries. However you are right, I know a few of the other couples, as friends not as playmates. I should see if they are going. I like your idea of finding an area where you can talk, because I know I would have to be ultra comfortable to play with out my partner. Our club does allow single men, and their rules are like most clubs geared toward us ladies. Still a little nervous about not having him to fall back on.
It's harder to go alone and how hard will depend on a lot of things, including how good you are at striking up conversations with people you don't know. If you aren't good at that, is there a couple or another woman who you could go with or arrange to meet there?

Thanks RonKathy. All very good advice. We have already started talking about our rules for the evening. Which are pretty much the same as if we were together, but never thought about checking, until I got home for the night of course. It would be nice to know I could ring him up, and hear his voice.
I have a broad question. My partner and I have always played together, but do to family and work he will not be with me this year on my birthday. We would both like for me to go to our usual club, but I've never gone without him. Can of you tell me what to expect? I mean how is it different being a single lady as compared to being with your gentleman? Really any and all advice you can give me. [I am cross posting this.]
