What we’re about
Berkhamsted and Tring Social welcomes all friends and residents, new and established, to our social group. The aim of our group is to provide our members with opportunities to meet new people with similar interests and to make new friends who want to get out and about in the local area. We offer three walks per week (two midweek and one weekend) in the surrounding countryside. We also offer a range of other events and have a strong commitment to supporting our local community and local events. As well as our regular walks, we also organise film nights, theatre trips, concerts, book club, the wine club, pub nights, meals out etc.
We are looking for new, committed hosts with fresh ideas, too, to help our local group grow and develop, offering a range of regular and new events to suit the different interests and tastes of our members.
Some events will have a small cost so that the organiser can cover the Meetup subscription fee and other expenses but many events will remain free of charge. As walks are our most regular events, we ask members to donate £1 towards our costs. We ask that all members keep their RSVPs up to date and respect the efforts made by all hosts in offering local and varied events for our enjoyment.
Look forward to you joining us at an event soon!

Rex Review:
Haley Bennett stars in this swirly, swoony bio-pic of undying love, fine wine, property and madness during the Napoleonic Wars.
Following her husband's François’ sudden death, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin Clicquot defies societal expectations by taking charge of the struggling wine business they had built together. Despite facing immense political and financial challenges, she silences her critics and transforms the champagne industry, establishing herself as one of the world's pioneering businesswomen.
It's beautifully assembled. Lush design, softly glowing cinematography, a strings-heavy score and non-linear editing add surging passions to what is essentially a straightforward tale of a strong, intelligent woman who succeeds in a culture stacked against her. Dreamy flashbacks and earnest voiceovers heighten the pinched emotions and pointed gender politics.
Bennett gives a yearning performance that flickers back and forth between Barbe-Nicole's marriage and the tenacity, skill and innovation that revolutionised the wine industry in Champagne. Continually cutting to wistful memories of her life with François, there's a strong sense of what's now at stake for Barbe-Nicole, and why transforming this business is so important to her.
A timely account that raises a glass to the grande dame of Champagne.Trailer:
