Ely Friends

Ely Friends is for anyone who’s ever spent a night in on their own wishing they were out doing something more exciting, or for those who’ve sat in the pub looking at the group of friends, wishing they could join them.

We bring together people from the local area to make friends and have fun. We’ve regular events, including pub quizzes, board game nights, pub nights, breakfasts and trips to Boogie Nights in St Ives. In between there are cinema trips, meals out, book talks and walks.

We’re welcoming and friendly, and open to all ages. Male or female, single or married. If this sounds at all tempting please sign up - it’s free.

We simply expect:
1. A recent, clear photo (so event hosts can spot and welcome you)
2. Up to date RSVP’s (waiting for no-shows ruins an event for everyone else)
3. Understanding that hosts are volunteers (trust their experience, don't argue self motivated changes)
4. You pay your own way (we don’t charge for events, but don't leave unpaid drink/food tabs)
5. You make your own way (fine to ask members for lifts, but don't expect or demand)
6. No private messaging before you've met at an event (we’re not a dating site!)

We hope to see you soon!

Optionally, once you've been to a few events (i.e. you've met an event organiser or two and have a good feel for how the group works) please do consider:
- Suggesting events on our discussion boards to determine interest (it can't clash with an existing event or financially benefit yourself - charities are fine)
- Hosting an event (mention in your suggestion you'd be happy to do this) which we can help you with
- Becoming an event organiser (once you've hosted several events)

Peterborough Friends

Peterborough, C3

Peterborough Friends
Welcome to Peterborough Friends. We have been getting people off their sofas and out of the house since 2015. Firstly, we are not a singles, dating website, we are a social group.  We welcome friends from anywhere of any age, whether you are single, in a relationship or married. We eat out, drink, laugh, walk, dance, party, go to the theatre and even go on holidays. The group has events to suit anyone of any age. If you are fed up of staying in, wasting your time on dating websites and social media or just lonely then please give the group a try.  Scroll through our calendar and see the many varied events planned for this year. If you are interested in an event then please sign up to it so that myself and the other members can look out for you. Can I please ask that you bring cash when attending meals out as it makes it easier to pay the bill and means that the waitress does not have several small card payments for one booking. All meals will require a £5 deposit. This is to secure your place. If you cannot attend for a genuine reason I will transfer the deposit to another event, however if you cancel on the day of the event this will not be refunded. In the event of a meal being cancelled the deposits will be refunded. If I have asked for your deposit and you have not sent it I will move your name on to the waiting list until it has been received. If you RSVP for a theatre trip please send the full payment to me straight away as I have to book tickets for these events promptly so that we can all sit together. Lifts and travel can be shared so please don't be afraid to ask. Just post a comment on the event to see if anyone can help. Please do not contact people directly for lifts unless you have made friends with them. If you are free during the day we meet on Mondays at 11am and Thursdays at 2pm at Central Park. We meet outside the Willow Cafe in the centre of the park. If the weather is bad we still meet for coffee. These are gentle walks but if you would rather just come for a chat and a coffee please arrive at 11.30 and I will meet you in the cafe. If you prefer a longer walk then please sign up for Mark's alternate Sunday and Wednesday evening walks. MEMBERSHIP You will need an up to date photo of yourself to join this group. This is so I can recognise you at events. You will be removed from the group if you refuse to do this. It is helpful if you add a surname as we are a large group and this will make it easier for me. You are welcome to try out the group for free but after two events the cost is £25 for the year, via bank transfer to M J James, Halifax 11-07-34 00228953 ref "sub" or you can pay cash at any event where I have a receipt book. This cost covers the website charges, some of my expenses and allows me to run the group on a full time basis. This amount is non-refundable. If you do not attend your first event for six months your membership will be cancelled unless the subscription payment is received. SPONSORSHIP We are sponsored by Vicky Langton who works with Travel Counsellors. Here are a few words from Vicky ... "I can help you with any of your travel arrangements, from a weekend away, your favourite place to visit, a new destination to explore or for the trip of a lifetime. I want to ensure that I can find your perfect holiday that is tailor-made to you. I will work around the hours you are available, to discuss and sort your travel arrangements. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email, I will be more than happy to help” Tel: 01507 462 581 / 07516 705441 Email: [vicky.langton@travelcounsellors.com](mailto:vicky.langton@travelcounsellors.com)” If you have any concerns or questions please contact me on 07712107646 or send me a message on Meet Up. If you have a complaint about anyone in the group please contact me privately.  Please do not post comments on events regarding any complaints or these will be removed immediately. Anyone who cannot behave in an appropriate manner at events will be removed. I hope you enjoy your time with Peterborough Friends.

Cambridge Chamber Music with New Horizons String Orchestra

Cambridge, C3

Cambridge Chamber Music with New Horizons String Orchestra
This is a musical playing experience for anyone interested in playing music with Eclectic Concert programs and a wide ranging repertoire from Baroque through Classical , Romantic and through to the present day. From collaborative small groups to our Ensemble and the New Horizons String Orchestra we have projects that give a New and exciting creative drive to String playing. Projects from Solo Recitals, duets, trios, Quartets and through too our main  Ensemble and beyond , come and explore  what it is like to play without a conductor or a committee but freely and creatively becoming the musician you wish to be. For example -- Leader ?, Soloist etc -- there is no barrier to progress , just the general acceptance that you can perform to an audience that will fully appreciate what you play ! In All our Concerts we have soloists from within the group and occasionally in addition a guest soloist. Non are paid and all members contribute to the costs of the Hall ( which has an excellent acoustic). Part of our Sessions are about making great collaborative projects happen but also about building Performances that make Audiences of All ages happy. CCM does at least 5-6 Concerts in a year and 2 or 3 Recitals. There is a great social atmosphere and time given to a communicative freedom. Time to talk and discuss with fellow musicians about building the Performing experience. we consider that those musicians who have exceeded grade 8 ABRSM or have equivalent equivalent musical experience, will benefit most from our various groups and Performances. However there are many who wish to rebuild their playing expertise and regain creativity in their life. Or those who are experienced enough to immerse themselves in our much wider string playing repertoire. Currently we are particularly looking for new members for our New Horizons String Orchestra, and are looking at Joiners coming to 1 complete session during the period middle of September -- until 1st Weeks of October. As well as violinists, violas and cellists and Bass Players we will require at least 2 Lead violinists -- as our programs are so diverse that this is best for the leader and for our Ensemble or String Orchestra. . Applications can be made through Meetup. com or perhaps better initially by contacting the Manager of CCM - Michael by Text message on-- 0756 441 8260. or email Michael.AG.CCM@gmail.com for details of our audition by playing in a session but also to chat about anything you wish to know.
