Greenwich Borough Friends Meetup Group - New and Improved

London, 17

Greenwich Borough Friends Meetup Group - New and Improved
**Greenwich Borough Friends Meetup Group** **Introduction** Greenwich Friends Meetup Group is a community based social group facilitated by the social networking portal MeetUp. Established in 2012 the group has members from within Greenwich and further afield. The primary aim of the group is to offer opportunities for members to attend social events in and around the Greenwich area. These events are held in public places and commercial establishments open to the public. The group does not have its own premises and does not hold events in private dwellings. The purpose of the Greenwich Friends Meetup Group is to be an open and inclusive social group and as such the group welcomes members regardless of background, beliefs, or circumstance and no restrictions are placed on membership. As a group we are proud to embrace a large and diverse membership.  Greenwich Friends Meetup Group is run by volunteers who are not professional event organisers. The group is not funded by any other organisation and all events are offered at no cost (Members are responsible for the purchase of their own tickets for any event such as theatre trips) and no charges are made for membership. To ensure that the group retains its open and approachable ethos a number of house rules and courtesies have been created to ensure that all members have a safe and enjoyable experience when attending one of our events. **General Conduct** 1.  Attending events. The group understands that members have busy lives and that things happen that mean it is not always possible for a member to attend an event for which they have signed up. All we ask is that people to change their RSVP on the Greenwich Friends Meetup page if they are unable to attend. This helps to host to manage the event more effectively and allows members on a waitlist to attend. 2.  Behaviour towards other members. As an open and diverse group it is to be expected that members will have differing opinions on a wide range of matters. While this is an interesting and valued aspect of the group, members must at all time respect the beliefs and values of all other members and refrain from making personal or abusive comments about other members. Any breaches of this behaviour could result in a member being barred from the group. To ensure that respect for members beliefs are upheld within certain events such as a topical debating forum a specific set of guidelines has been drawn up. See Debating Rules for details of these. 3.  Behaviour towards organisers/hosts. Greenwich Friends Meetup Group is run by volunteers who at all times aim to provide an enjoyable and sociable experience for members. The organisers are not responsible for the quality or content of events such as theatre productions or restaurant meals. These things are out of the group’s control. Hosts are always happy to receive constructive feedback from members on an event but negative and personal criticism of the group and it’s hosts is of very limited benefit and not in the nature of this MeetUp group. **Access Statement** To assist any members of the group with disabilities in accessing our events an access statement has been published to clarify the position of Greenwich Friends Meetup Group. This gives details with regard to access into events and support before, during and after these events. The statement covers issues concerning the responsibilities of the organisers and hosts with regard to members with disabilities and their corresponding responsibilities. For more detailed information please refer to the Access Statement on these pages. **Commercial Enterprise** The purpose of the Greenwich Friends Meetup Group is to provide opportunities to attend local social events in and around the Greenwich area. It is not a commercial organisation and is not funded or sponsored by any third party. Such external event are beyond the control of the group and the inclusion of advertisements could be construed as an endorsement of, or other form of support for, the event.  For this reason it has been agreed that this forum is not an appropriate platform for advertising commercial ventures of any kind regardless of their nature or purpose. Requests for such postings will be refused and any which are displayed will be removed. **Disclaimer** Greenwich Friends Meetup Group is an open and inclusive social group who welcomes all to become members. As the group meets in a wide variety of public locations the hosts and organisers cannot be responsible for the welfare, safety or access needs of any member who chooses to participate in any event organised by this group. While all reasonable steps will be taken to offer inclusive and accessible events ultimately not all events will be suitable for all members. Every member is responsible for their own health, safety, comfort, enjoyment and welfare and retains the responsibility for this throughout any event. Please also be aware that this disclaimer includes, incorporates and applies, where relevant, the whole of the Meetup.com term of service agreement which specifically states that members join Meetup and attend all Meetups at their own risk and cannot hold Meetup.com or its organisers and other members liable for damages.

Bexley Area Circle of Friends - For Ladies

Crayford, G5

Bexley Area Circle of Friends - For Ladies
We are a friendly group of ladies from Bexley, Crayford, Dartford, Sidcup and surrounding areas. This group is aimed at ladies in the 50 plus age group who feel they would like to make new friends, chat over a coffee, go for a walk, see a film, dine out, or a number of other activities. The majority of our events are during the daytime so this may not suit ladies that work full time, though some events are at weekends and occasional evening, anyone is welcome to join. Occasionally some venues are small so numbers will be restricted, we normally have a waiting list for these events in case someone can't make it, so click on the rsvp anyway and that will add you to the wait list, and check back near the time to see if you have been added to the event. If you can't find something to fit in with your commitments, why not host an event? Please speak to one of the organisers. **Membership fees are used to pay the costs that Meetup charge for us to use this site.** Membership fee is £5.00 per year due by 1st December each year. Any members who haven't renewed by 31st December risk being removed. New members have **7 days** to look at the type of events we do before membership will be due if you decide to stay with us. Members may bring a friend (+1) along to 3 meetups as a guest if the event allows. After this they would need to join and pay their membership fee before attending more events. **Please note that popular events will be available to members first, therefore I would urge you to encourage your +1 to join otherwise they could miss out!** We look forward to meeting you all. **The Rules** If you RSVP yes to an event and then for some reason you can't make it please change your RSVP to not going at least **24hrs** prior to the event starting **preferably 48hrs**, **this includes the waiting list**, as it's unfair when people don't show up or cancel at the last minute, it holds up the group waiting for someone who's not coming, plus may prevent others from attending an event that's full. If you are on a waitlist for an event you must check right up until the morning of the event as you could be accepted in at short notice if someone drops out. If this happens and you do not attend you will be listed as a no show. If you are on a waitlist and make other arrangements for that day, please remove yourself from the waitlist. Also anyone who repeatedly RSVP's to events and then cancels will risk being removed from the group, as this prevents others from joining in. DO CHECK YOUR DIARIES BEFORE SAYING YES TO AN EVENT!!!! **To remain a member you will need to have attended an event in the last 6 months, this is to enable new members a chance to join.** Sorry but if you RSVP yes 3 times and then don't show up without changing your RSVP to not going you will be removed from the group. Please note that if you have not RSVP'd to attend an event there is no need to say that you are not going to an event. All members are required to have a **profile picture of their face not views, pets or other family members!** That's it for the rules, so we look forward to seeing you all and building our circle of friends. x

Brentwood/Billericay Social Group 30s+

Brentwood, E4

Brentwood/Billericay Social Group 30s+

If you’re fed up going to the same old places and seeing the same old faces or simply have friends/family that are not really up for going out and enjoying themselves or you would like to try different activities and events but haven’t yet found people to go with who are likeminded… this group is for you! Its not just for single people its open to anyone (married, single, mums, dads, nans, granddads) who would simply like to go out and make new friends.

There will be a yearly subscription membership fee of £10 required (which is less than 85p per month), which should be made payable by paypal to bbmeetup@hotmail.com (friends & family) please enter your full name in the reference section in order for me to mark you down as paid. If you would prefer to pay by bank transfer, please private message me and I will send you my bank details. This covers the cost of my yearly meetup fee along with time and effort in organizing events. 

Watch out for the special fund raising / local charity events which are due to be posted on the events page. I am open to charity choices (not International), just close to home. 

If any members have ideas of something they would love to do but just haven’t got likeminded people with the same enthusiasm, please feel free to let me know your ideas. Please don’t feel embarrassed or scared about coming to any events as I’m sure everyone who joins will be in the same boat, we all newbies together but will be very friendly and are all looking for the same thing… to meet new people and make new friends.

Always check out details i.e. meeting up at various events - myself and event hosts will always try to meet up with people at the front entrance of clubs, pubs and restaurants so that you don’t feel uneasy about walking in alone.

Looking forward to meeting you.
