Create a situation, run into some trouble and conveniently escape into the path of the others. Then that'll force them to retreat with you, giving you a nice warm opening to create some first impressions.

I'll probably wait until everyone is sort of 'cosy' together, so to speak. That is, if it's okay with you.
