I would be very grateful if you would tell me how this might be accomplished.

If you go to a local bike night and start asking about helmets, everyone will be happy to give you their opinion and most folks will let you try theirs on for size.

And then what about if you are a Billy-no-mates and don't belong to any bike clubs?

Maybe it's different over there. Here in Florida there are bike nights all over the place every night of the week. Chain restaurants are located in strip shopping centers and have huge empty parking lots at suppertime. All you have to do to be welcome is to arrive and participate in the fun.
