Meet new friends groups near Barnsley, 37

We meet once a month to discuss the social, political, economic and environmental impacts of technology. Our goal is to slow down and question the techno-solutionist narrative* which has permeated all aspects of life. This means examining the unintended harms and potential losses that occur when adopting new technologies, and thinking about alternative approaches that promote a humane and equitable future for all. A selection of short readings (usually three) will be assigned to the group each month to aide and guide discussion. You do not need to be someone working in tech to join the group, you just need to be someone who is living in technologically mediated world. This, by virtue of existing and reading this, means you! *Techno-solutionism = the idea that given the right code, algorithms and robots, technology can solve all of humanities problems.

We are a diverse international community of 18-30 year olds with a mutual love for food, meeting new people and having new experiences! This group is ideal if you’ve recently moved to Leeds, want to meet new people and feel at home. You are so welcome to the Table if you are 18-30, a undergrad, student, graduate, young professional or simply find yourself in Leeds and want to make some new friends! The group is run by Christians. You don’t have to be a Christian to come thought! All faiths and backgrounds welcome. We started the group because of our mutual love of meeting new people, learning about new cultures and helping people feel at home. Alongside our socials and activities, we host some more spiritual events where you can explore some of deeper questions of life, meaning and faith. We’re looking forward to meeting you! Check out what we’ve been up to in Manchester @tablemcr on instagram. See ya soon Love Paul and Bethanie

The group is born out of an unforgettable experience at the Porcupine Tree concert earlier this year. That event ignited my love for live music, and I am planning to attend upcoming rock music concerts in Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds etc. The lineup is looking amazing next year with bands like Pendulum, Fall Out Boy, The Maine, Simple Plan etc. This group is an open invitation to anyone who shares a passion for music and interested in exploring the concert scene in 2024. Goal is also to connect people who share a genuine love for attending concerts, fostering a space for camaraderie, shared experiences, and the pure joy of live music. We attend concerts together, chat about upcoming shows, share playlists and create unforgettable memories. // This is my very first attempt to create a group on this platform. Not sure if this will get enough attention to attract members or maybe you will only find it if you were searching for something like this haha.

Friendly group for friendly people of all nationalities and ages who like to socialise, make friends and have fun, fun, fun :))) *This is a closed group so not everyone can see our events. To join decide what you would like to attend then apply with a recent facial picture :)*

I’ve started this group with the aim of bringing people together for social activities, group days out, nights around town and other activities as people see fit to suggest. I’d like to welcome anyone and everyone. You don’t have to be an extrovert to come and join us just bring a smile !

Hello Everyone, my name is Adam and I've been the organiser of this welcoming and friendly social group since June 2023 with the goal of making it very popular. It is for anyone based in Barnsley and the surrounding areas aged 20 and above that’s interested in making new friends. I used to feel that Barnsley was lacking in a proper regular Meetup group which is why I decided to set up one up to change that. There also isn’t a maximum age limit in this group which you will all be very pleased to know 😊 THE GROUP RULES : There is only a few ground rules that everyone should know about. 1 , Firstly anyone joining the group needs to have a clear face picture of themselves that was taken recently, so no blank profiles or inappropriate images please. 2\. Secondly I politely ask people to update your attendance accordingly within a few hours of each meeting just out of courtesy if you can’t make it for whatever reason\. I always try to be flexible whenever I can \, only if someone has failed to show up without any communication 4 times in a row will I have to consider removing them\. However if in the unlikely event that does happen \, they will have the option to rejoin again after 6 months \( 180 Days \) has passed\. 3\. Please keep communication as mutual and respectful as possible\, try not to private message people you haven’t met before in the WhatsApp group unless you have consent to do so first \. If anyone feels they are being bothered too much by someone they don’t know at all\, let me know and I’ll deal with it promptly\. This group offers a wide variety of activities such as restaurants meals , open air festivals , the cinema 🎦 , ten pin bowling 🎳 , afternoon walks, stand up comedy nights , coach trips and even days out on the train 🚆 to other towns and cities. Usually about 3 or 4 events are held each month including an afternoon coffee ☕️ meeting on the first Sunday of each month and our well attended Pub drinks 🍷 social evening on the last weekend of each month. It’s all about having a good laugh, relaxing and living in the moment and enjoying ourselves . Plus there is no membership fee requirement to join like some groups have. If any particular event doesn’t get much interest or less than 4 people attending , then it will usually have to be either cancelled or rescheduled to a later time. There is also an active WhatsApp group available for regulars who wish to stay connected with each other outside of events , so if anyone feels this group is right for them feel free to send a join request and see what happens, or just message me with any questions you have and I’ll reply to you soon as possible, thanks for reading ! 🙂

Welcome to the Childfree Friends in Sheffield meetup! This group is for people aged 30-49 who want to celebrate life without the responsibilities of children and acknowledge all the other things our lives consist of. We gather to enjoy conversations over food, explore the arts and entertainment scene, and soaking in different cultural experiences. Connect with fellow members who enjoy coffee catch ups during the week, staying out late and lazy Sundays because we can. This group is for people who chose not to be parents and don't have to orient their lives around children or young people. We are treated differently by society, our choices often questioned and patronised: "Why?? You'll change your mind someday" "won't you regret not having kids?" "who will take care of you when you're old" etc etc. If you have kids or your partner has kids, or your kids are now adults, you're not going to experience those things so this group won't be right for you. Thanks for understanding. If you are 80% sure you don't want kids but may be you will someday, again, this group is not for you. We have regular meet-ups for childfree people of colour. If you don't see any in the calendar, DM me and maybe we can co-host one.

A group for growing a community of psychedelic lovers in the Sheffield area.
