It was not in the slightest bit awkward that they all knew each other well, having met many times before and I was the only one there who didn't know anyone. Oh no.

That sounds perfect. I'm cancelling my evening with 'real' friends and going 'bashing' or whatever you kids say these days.

Your first b4sh is always a bit like that.
I was lucky, I met Boyce for a few beers before popping along to one so I didn't care less by the time I got there.

This is what I would do.
I would also actively engage in conversation so as not to be all left out.
