We are a board gaming group in Bedford. We offer a chance to meet new people who share an enjoyment of board games. We're about having a bit of fun and spending an enjoyable and sociable time doing what we like best; which is ...obviously... gaming.

Come and enjoy your first meet-up with us for free. After that, we charge £2 on Wednesday nights and £1 on Friday night sessions. The money goes to covering our meetup fees, room hire and any spare goes towards games that can be won or used by members of the group. Tea and coffee is provided on Wednesdays and you can / should buy drinks at the bar on our Friday meets. <br>

If you're not a die-hard gamer, don't worry! We have plenty of games to start you off gently.... and are currently running some extra introductory sessions to lead you in gently. Our regular members tend to bring a good selection of games with them...but do try and sign up if you are coming so that we can cater for the right amount of people.

We never play Monopoly, Scrabble, Cluedo or Backgammon ;-) Chances are however that if you like those, you'll be blown away by the modern games that we adore. We don't have favourite games that get played every single week as we enjoy playing a wide variety of stuff...from quick 5 minute filler games to complex all-evening strategy games and everything in between. Worker placement, area control, deck building, hand management, take-that, tile placement, competitive or co-operative...we really do cater for most board game tastes. Don't worry if you don't know the rules. They will be run through at the start of the game. <br>

Any questions or worries? Just send us a message...we will happily answer any queries. We are a friendly bunch so don't be scared ... come and have some gaming fun!

This is a Meetup for people from all walks of life to meet and make new friends whilst enjoying the fabulous local scenery and walking at a comfortable pace. The majority of the group are 45 plus but there are no limits or restrictions.  Our aim is to walk at approximately 2.5 to 3 miles an hour, enjoying a mix of walks, which will vary from the relatively easy to more challenging. For those who have not walked with a group before, it is important you feel confident with your mobility and fitness, as we are not able to assess people before we start. If you are in any doubt please contact your GP before joining the group. We reserve the right to exclude at any time if you are not of adequate fitness.  Dogs are not permitted on any of our walks.  Sensible walking boots or shoes should be worn and appropriate clothing for the weather expected on the day.  We aim to stop for breaks so it's always a good idea to have a snack with you and essential to carry enough water as hydration is extremely important.  Each walk will display the start location and time, distance and expected duration. Please arrive in adequate time put your boots on and prepare yourself for a walk of a number of hours and miles. It is respectful to other walkers to not keep them waiting to start the walk. During the walk, please do not walk ahead of the leader and as we do not have a fast pace on these walks, we do ask that walkers try to stay within reasonable distance of the walkers ahead of you, 10 to 20 feet at most. As a very friendly group we usually go to a local pub or tea shop for a chat and a chance to get to know everyone. It is essential that every new member has a facial photo (OF THEMSELVES ALONE) on their application profile to permit organisers and other members to recognise you on your first walks - your application WILL BE DECLINED if you can not be recognised from your photo. Please also be aware that while you may change your profile picture at anytime, it must still conform to the requirements as indicated, i.e. a clear recognisable facial photo. We accept no liability or responsibility for safety on these walks, each member joins on the understanding they are responsible for their own safety. We are not qualified leaders or walkers, or able to offer first aid support, and therefore can offer no assurances. Walking can carry risks, especially across open fields and uneven terrain, and each walk is undertaken with full acceptance of these conditions by each member.  A charge may be made to cover the costs of hosting the Meetup site and out of pocket expenses such as maps and petrol costs for reccies, but as this is a non profit group, any remaining funds will be used for the benefit of club members.

This group is to bring a group of girls together that just want to have fun, socialise and get out and about! It can be hard when you are new to an area, or your long term friends just don’t have time that they used to. This is a good way to get to know new people and build new friendship groups. We would like to arrange lots of fun events whether it be brunches, nights out, walks or other activities and will always be open to suggestions. We will try and move the event locations around to keep it new and interesting and help with people that live in the surrounding areas. Looking forward to getting something booked in and to meet you all!

Welcome to Bedford MeetUp Group! We are a social group and we welcome friends of all ages.  Emphasis is put on enjoying ourselves by getting out and about; laughing, dancing, listening to music, walking, eating and drinking etc, together.  We are not a singles dating site; we are a social group.  We do however realise that relationships develop from friendships. We want to host a variety of events, so please feel free to make suggestions.  If there’s something you’d like to do and we can at least find one other person to go with you, we consider it mission accomplished! Lifts and travel to events can be shared, so please don’t be afraid to ask.  Just post a comment on the event to see if anyone can help. This is a private arrangement between yourselves. Every Tuesday evening, we have a walk and a drink, in Bedford.  This is ideal for new members.  If you are nervous, about attending any event, please direct message Jane or Allan and we will chat with you and make sure you are welcomed and supported throughout the event.  You may also bring a friend to events, but you need to remember to add your friend, as a plus one, on the event page. **Membership** •      New members should pay £5 joining fee please, via PayPal to: janehmacdonald@gmail.com. This helps our community group pay annual fees to Meetup. * You will need an up-to-date photo of yourself to join the group.  This is so the hosts of the event are able to recognise you.  •      For events with restricted numbers, it is important that you don’t put your name down as attending, unless you are you are able to attend.  Likewise, if your circumstances change and you are no longer able to attend an event, please alter your attendance to ‘Not Going’ as soon as possible, so that another member can take your place. •      If you have a complaint about anyone in the group, please contact an organiser privately via direct message.  Anyone who cannot behave in an appropriate manner will be removed from the group.   The friendly, caring and welcoming culture of this group is very important to all of our members.

The aim of this group is to help sociable people in St Neots and the surrounding areas meet and make friends with similar individuals. Sometimes we get more organised and go out for city trips or more adventurous meetups like; dragon boat rowing, kayaking, go-karting etc. Almost anything will be considered, if you have an idea then message one of the group organisers. The more people active in the group, the more we do - that's what this is all about! If any of this sounds familiar, then this could be the group for you... You should join if you enjoy the company of others but find you don't have enough 'others' to spend time with because you're new in town or you simply want to expand your existing social circle. Join in and feel part of something! ***\~ Notes \~*** *\- Please respect one another and please report any unacceptable behaviour to any of the lead organisers\.* *\- Please have a photo that identifies your face\. It makes meeting people a lot easier if you know who you're looking out for\.* *\- At the founder's expense\, this Meetup group remains free to it's members\. If you enjoy the group and would like to show your appreciation\, an offer of a drink is well received\!*

Welcome to the Bedfordshire Walking Club, we walk most weekends throughout the year, whatever the weather, mostly around the counties of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire. We also organise some great walking weekends away to some of the best hiking areas around the UK. Be aware that BWC walks are NOT gentle rambles, we keep to a good pace with few breaks, and our walks are at least ten miles long. So, if you are looking for a gentle stroll in the countryside with lots of breaks and time to take photos, we are probably not the club for you. However, if you are after some great exercise with friendly, like-minded people, have a reasonable standard of fitness, and like a walk that is a bit of a challenge then you have come to the right place. We are a relaxed and friendly group of all different ages, and we make everyone very welcome. Our hikes are a great chance to meet new people, make new friends and get to know the countryside. Many people come on their own, but you are welcome to bring along a guest if you want. Come and join us, make some good friends, get some great exercise and experience some of the fantastic UK countryside. **Before signing up please read the guidelines below:** • Our walks are between 10 – 20 miles long and at a pace of over 3mph with only a short break halfway. Please make sure you are fit enough to complete the distance before you sign up for a walk. The details page of each event will give a full description of the walk, what to expect and a recommended fitness level. If you are not sure that you will be up to the walk, please contact the walk leader for more information. • ALL members will require a name (not just initials) and profile photo that clearly shows your head, shoulders and face at a reasonably close distance, so you are recognisable. Group photos, photos of children or pets are not acceptable. This is for the safety and peace of mind of the other members, failure to comply may result in a delay in your application being accepted. • Please make sure we are able to contact you. Your profile privacy settings should be set so at least a walk organiser is able to get in touch with you to inform you of any possible changes. • We hold walks all year round, in all weathers. Please make sure you come suitably dressed for the terrain and weather conditions with suitable clothing, wet weather gear and sturdy footwear. We don’t always get chance to stop at a pub or café so you should also bring water, a snack and maybe a hot drink in the winter. •There will be a small charge for the walks, this is to cover the admin costs of the walk leader and running the website. Payment is made in cash at the start of each walk. • Hiking and hillwalking can be demanding. Each individual member is responsible for their own actions and involvement. Meetup [Terms of Service](http://www.meetup.com/terms/) Section 6, which all members have agreed to, lays out the details of liability relating to a group or an event. Anyone attending one of our events is subject to those terms and conditions. If a member brings along a guest that is not a member of Meetup, they are subject to the above Terms of Service and attend at their own risk. Although the leaders of the club walks are very experienced hikers, we do NOT hold any official qualifications and neither the walk leader or the club accepts responsibility for any accidents or injuries of any member while attending a walk. • We limit the numbers for each of our walks to keep a small close-knit group. So, if you sign up for a walk and then cannot make it, please cancel your RSVP as soon as possible to give other members chance to come along. Those members who make a habit of changing their RSVP the day before or being a no show will be removed from the club. • Sorry but we do not allow dogs on any of our walks. If you have any further questions about the club, please don't hesitate to contact the organiser for more information.
