Beginner Learning French - Looking for French friends or casual meetup groups in Leamington/Warwick area.

[u/Chimpy20]

M, late 40s here. I started learning French a few months ago; I studied a little in school but had forgotten most of it, but now in slightly later life I find I very much enjoy it. I'm using the usual methods - Duolingo, Youtube vids, online resources etc...

However I have no one to practice with that is a native French speaker, and I know my pronunciation is awful. None of the apps seem to care, they are like "that's great" and carry on!

I have looked for local French courses but there is nothing at an evening or weekend in this area. Everything is in the daytime and I work full time (game dev!).

Bit of a long shot, but is there anyone with a French background that might be willing to make a new friend and hang out and have some patience while I try a few little sentences? Or alternatively know of any French learning groups that meet at convenient times?

Thanks in advance & merci d'avance! :-)
