Hi Buddy

Yes, it's a totally different ball game, so take your time, read some of the forum, and remember a lot of it will be "opinions", so don't take everything as gospel.

Get yourself to a club if you can, most are friendly and all-inclusive, although I'm sure there are the odd ones a bit "cliquey" , but 9/10 of them will have great members who will give you some advice and let you try what they have.

Welcome to the forum, the search function is great, but if your still stuck - ask

James
