Meet new friends groups near Kenilworth, 43

A group for the lesbian and bisexual girlies of Leamington to meet up, have a drink and a yap and hopefully make some new friends! Regular events to get out and about to the lovely bars and pubs in Leamington. An inclusive space where everyone is welcome.

**If you have been removed from the group because you haven't paid the £2 renewal fee, and you still want to be a member, you will need to re-join and pay the joining fee.** A big, warm welcome from Sutton & Lichfield Friends. Whether you are looking to enjoy a new aspect to your social life, widening your existing social circle, or maybe meeting new friends, then we are definitely for you. We offer a wide range of events where, rest assured, you will be with like minded people. If you are maybe a little hesitant, then just hold onto the thought that we were all new to this once! Our group encompasses people from all walks of life, regardless of any individual's background or circumstances and we are always ready to welcome new members to come and participate in any of the events we offer. As with other Meetup groups, we do have a few guidelines outlining what we expect from our members. * A full face photograph is required in order for us to be able to accept you. This is to enable hosts to recognise you when you attend events. * Our annual membership fee is £3, payable within 10 days of being accepted to the group. Failure to pay within this time will result in your request being rejected. (Applicants that are members of excessive Meetup groups will also be rejected, because we like to keep the group to active members.) * Please check your diaries to make sure you are free and able to attend before adding yourself to an event. It could be that as a result of repeated failure to attend events with little or no notification, you may be removed from the group. * To avoid the above happening, we simply ask that you keep an eye on your RSVPs and make sure you are up-to-date. People on the waitlist will be interested in taking your place so it is important that all responses are current, this takes a matter of seconds to do. * We ask that should you find you are unable to keep your place then you remove yourself from the event at the earliest opportunity and let the host know, thus allowing the next person on the waitlist the chance to take your place. * If you opt to participate in an event that requires a payment direct to the host, these may include events such as meals and parties, etc., please make sure your payment is sent as soon as possible and in accordance with the requirements of the individual event. * In order to participate in 'paid' events you will need to be able to receive private messages from the event organiser to allow bank details to be forwarded to you, and the facility to be able to pay by bank transfer. * As event hosts are required to pay individual venues for allocated places in 'paid events' then any monies you pay are unfortunately non refundable. If you sign up to such an event and find that you are unable to attend, then where there is a person on the waitlist they will be given the opportunity to take your place and therefore a refund could be arranged. If there are no takers for the place, then unfortunately your payment is forfeit. While we already host a wide variety of events we always welcome other suggestions and will encourage and support anyone who is willing to host or to help host events.  If this interests you, contact one of the organisers or event hosts.  Likewise if you have any suggestions or comments about how to do things better we’d like to hear about it. Our full protocol is available on request. Caroline and Erica

We're going to host a wide range of social activities and are always open to new ideas. Get involved and feel free to host or organise any events yourself that you think might be good. We request everyone upload clear profile image pictures of yourself so when you do attend that you can be recognised, and please change your RSVP if you cannot attend for whatever reason, no show without a notice may result into expulsion from the group. Finally, this isn’t a dating group and any impropriate behaviour will not be ignored.

Welcome to Global AI United Kingdom! 🎉 Our Meetup group is the perfect place to have fun and dive into exciting topics like AI, machine learning, and MLOps/LLMOps. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, we offer engaging discussions, hands-on workshops, and great opportunities to meet new people. Let’s come together to discover more about AI. Join us and be part of this exciting adventure!

The purpose of this Meetup is to arrange events and activities that are not only fun in their own right, but possibly more importantly, to help people make new friends.

It seems to us that the single most important thing in life is the people with who we share our time.

We will endeavour to arrange a variety of things - from the unstructured, "Lets just meet at a pub" to events and shows possibly based around the theatre. Whatever the event, the idea will be to get you out of your house and mixing with people; with a view to formulating long term friendships and having fulfilling lives.

We really hope we can help...

[Community guidelines and code of conduct](https://docs.google.com/document/d/16lAPvM_DdvQ8sY6fHsPi82n_hZrIPF-mNZ812gcC3cM/edit?usp=sharing) This meetup is for anyone 20 to 39 living in or around Coventry who wish to socialise, get to know other people and have fun. There will be regular events organised at venues across the city, typically pubs and bars, that will allow people to come and talk. If you are unsure about anything or nervous about meeting new people or attending an event, please speak to an organiser for support. We're here to help :) The main reason the group was setup was due to a lot of new people coming to Coventry for various reasons, mainly work, that don't know anyone else. However there's also lots of people who grew up or lived in Coventry a long time that perhaps just want to further their social circles too. Whatever the reason, we're here to social and get to know each other in a friendly atmosphere. Joining and partaking in any activities associated with the meetup requires the community guidelines and code of conduct to be read and agreed to as well as a profile picture. Any questions or clarifications required, please speak to an organiser. Hope to see you soon at one of our events!

Are you aged between 25 and 50 and any of the following?.. \- Looking to meet more people / make new friends; \- New to the area; \- Recently become single; \- Wanting more fun activities in your diary to look forward to; \- Haven't got your social life back to how it was before lockdown; \- Noticing your existing friends all settling down; ....or are you just plain bored / looking for sociable activities to get involved in... Then why not take a bold (but easy) step towards doing something about it, and attend one of the many social events with members of the super-sociable group, the **Friendly Faces of Warwickshire**. We enjoy a variety of scheduled events in Leamington, Warwick and the surrounding area, where new and regular members meet as a group to network and partake in sociable / enjoyable activities. The events to choose from usually take place at the weekend, and can include countryside walks and hikes, gathering in bars, coffee shops or restaurants, going to indoor / outdoor cinemas, pool halls, festivals, tribute bands, stage shows… the list goes on. There is no financial commitment because our events are **free to attend** and you can add yourself to whichever ones you like the look of. At each of these events, you’ll meet the members - potential new friends from all walks of life and just like you in wanting to improve their social lives. They will make you feel very welcome as another valued contributor to what makes our events into special occasions to remember for all involved. It's normal to feel a little bit of apprehension about your first meeting, which is something we all have to go through, but after you've broken the ice for the first time, you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about and be eager to put your name down for another event! If you keep attending, you'll recognise people you met at past events and start to grow commonalities and friendships with the people you like. Attending a FFW event by yourself is perfectly fine and it's what many people do. The attendees at events are never the same, and each event consists of a combination of first-timers, seasoned members and everything in between, so there will be other new attendees just like you, and like-minded whatever your situation. We're all like you and looking for opportunities to be sociable, and genuinely hope that you decide to get involved. When you do, we will look forward to meeting you. Months from now you’ll look back on this moment that you took action with a smile, and be really glad you did! It wont cost you anything to join, and there is no commitment to stay on if you attend an event and then decide its not for you. So ask yourself out loud: "What have I got to lose?" And then hit that join button. 😊 Current Events Schedule: \- Saturday October 26th : Leamington Brunch/Coffee/Chat ☕ \- Saturday October 26th : Leamington Halloween Fancy\-Dress Social 🎃 \- Sunday November 17th : \*\* Placeholder for a 7\-mile hike \*\* TBD \- Sunday November 24th : Kenilworth Parks and the Castle \(6/7\-mile loop hike\) 🚶 \- Thursday November 28th : Warwick Victorian Evening & Festival \- Friday November 29th : Leamington Pizza and Social 🍕 \- Friday December 6th : Warwick Town Centre Social "Flash Mob" \- Sunday December 8th : \*\* Placeholder for a 7\-mile hike \*\* TBD \- Saturday December 14th : Leamington All\-Skills Pool and Social \- Sunday December 15th : Leamington Santas Hike for Charity \(7\-mile hike\) 🚶 \- Friday December 20th : Leamington Christmas Jumpers Drinks and Social \- Thursday December 26th : Boxing Day walk through the parks \(2\-to\-3\-mile stroll\) 🚶
