What we’re about

The base goal of this group is to bring folk together for laughs and polite conversation, have fun and meet new people at events.. The base tenet of this group is respect for cultural differences and courtesy to other members and event organizers.
New Members: please read the following rules and guidelines before joining the group. We look forward to including you at our events! Our goal is for folks to have a good time, and to make people feel safe and welcome, thus our rule structure.

Note to members:

  • Priority in this group is actively managed. Factors: 1) Attendance record!!! (Especially no-shows) 2) New members, 3) Past behavior at events (See below)
  • Outdoor Adventures has a "recognizable single person face" rule.

Members are encouraged to talk to other participants and to welcome new members.

  • Please avoid political, religious and other hot topics in a larger group.
  • Polite behavior. Please keep it light at first as you get to know folks.
    • We try to stay upbeat during large gatherings. We discourage folks regaling us with all their drama (ever) (Example: My Ex (wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend) divorced me and she/he did all these things ...) Those conversations are maybe for later when you know folks and are away from the large crowds.
    • Do not ask embarrassing or deeply personal questions to folks you do not yet know.
    • We are not a singles group, but finding other people is natural. It is OK to ask if someone is available, but don't let that be the first thing out of your mouth. Show some subtlety.
  • Your profile name must contain your first or last name or nickname
  • Have a current single person, recognizable profile picture showing your face clearly before you join. (Folks may be temporarily removed so they can correct their profile and rejoin)
  • Do not sign up for events if you are not sure if you are going to make it. People signing up for events they are not committed to creates a problem for the other members. We have begun removing folks who sign up for many events, but very rarely attend as well as no shows and late cancels.
  • Keep your RSVP updated. In the case of no shows or late cancellation, there may be people on the wait list or waiting to see if slots open up that don't get to go because of late cancellations or no-shows.

Frequent late cancellations and/or no-shows will absolutely cause the member being de-prioritized on the going/wait list or removal from the group.

A final note: Large events often overwhelm our venues' ability to provide speedy service. Our events are more about social contact and conversation. Relax and enjoy the conversations and expect some delays. Please be courteous to our servers and our venues.

We are highly rated (4.8 group rating). Please reach out and share what went wrong if you give us a 4 rating or below at an event. We want to know, and may reach out (respectfully) and ask if we do not know why. Feel free to message the primary organizer if anything goes wrong.

Folks are welcome to propose events and even lead their own events. Events are not limited to these following categories, so don't feel constrained:

  • Hike and Walks
  • Concerts
  • Lunch outings
  • Dinner outings
  • Brunch
  • Campouts
  • Festivals
  • Cultural outings
  • Purely social events
  • Trail & Town Biking

We are hoping to get volunteers for both hosting and becoming Event Organizers. Feel free to reach out.

Photo Rule additional detail: This serves multiple purposes. 

  • Security -   We need to be able to tie back folks to their membership. 
  • Organizer recognition – The organizers need to be able to identify folks at events (And yes, we have had crashers)
  • Member recognition – Members need to be able to identify the folks they have talked with.
  • We take member safety as well as courtesy towards others seriously.
