Hello and welcome! This group is a home for anyone looking for "*different*" ways of experiencing London, making new friends and **having fun**. To start with, this group will focus on a game I've built called **[Chicken Rush](https://chickenru.sh)**. This game involves someone in an adult-size Chicken costume running off to hide in a nearby pub or bar, then teams race to find them first while completing silly challenges along the way. It's part-scavenger hunt, part-pub crawl and all-fun. I hope this community grows and we can put on some hilarious events. All I want is to keep creating more fun & quirky games for you all to try out! We'll be running **one free game every month** that's open to everyone, do come along! We also run some games with a twist - our **Blind Dates** games are just for singles (next one on 16th September) and we recently chased Wally instead of a Chicken for the first ever game of Where's Wally in real life... Come join our flock! 🐔 You can follow us on Instagram too for more updates - **[@thechickenrush](https://instagram.com/thechickenrush)**

10 may 2024 Hello Thank you for your interest in my meetup group. This is a social meetup group to meet new people. I set up this group to meet new people as I work alot and I dont have the opportunity to meet new people and expand my social networks. I think alot of people in London are in the same situation. Typically events will be: -food and drink -cinema -coffee and chat -walks -etc I am aiming to creating a real world offline community as much as possible and the majority of events will be in London.(please take this into consideration before applying to join). It is free to join the meetup group and you may leave at any time. IMPORTANT: This is not a dating or romantic introductions meetup. Terms and conditions of participation apply. Any questions,comments or feedback message myself, the organizer via meetup.

We're back!!...

Despite having a population of 9 million, London can surprisingly feel a little lonely sometimes - especially if you're new to the area or the country. What seems so simple (Making new friends) can feel a little difficult, a little scary, a little awkward - especially if you're not lucky to have a socially encouraged platform to do so.

This is where this Meet up Group comes in - designed to attract like-minded people to meet up and get to know each other. Through thought provoking conversations (Not just the standard, normal ones but fun questions which give a real insight into who you are and what you think), simple yet exciting games and hopefully many laughs - you'll be interacting and making new friends very quickly. All levels of English are welcome!

The group originally ran between 2016 and 2019 but due to COVID we paused the group. However, I believe it's the right time to return. Previously, many friendships were made and we often did activities together outside the meet up. At the moment, we have our limitations but as time goes on, hopefully we can explore and do different things together. 

The Meet ups are held in Stratford for a few reasons:

1) I don't charge anything to organise and host the groups, so to save me losing travel costs we do it in the area where I live :D. This has advantages because I know how to find people if they get lost and also where places, toilets, etc. are if people need them.

2) It has a big lovely park for us to enjoy on sunny days. It also has a huge Westfield shopping mall for people to visit after the meet up. So if there are certain errands that somebody needs to do during the week, they can save it for after the meet up as they'll already be close to the mall.

3) It has over 120 restaurants and places to eat, so if people want to continue after the meet up to get a bite to eat, they can do :)

4) It has really good transport links. Stratford is on the Central line, the Jubilee line, the Overground, the TFL, the DLR, the High Speed South Eastern and soon Crossrail. From Oxford Circus, Camden Road, Waterloo it's less than 20 minutes and from Liverpool Street only 7 minutes. It's closer than the tube map indicates. Oh and and buses!

About your host:

My name's Luke and I'm a comedian who's (as you'll soon discover) fascinated with philosophical conundrums, the romanticism of love and entertaining people. I also enjoy encouraging you all to achieve more than other people think you can. Whatever dream you have, chase it. Today.

And if you want some proof of this comedy I speak of, here's a 13 minute film I created a couple of years ago on my Youtube Channel:

This is a group for people who would like to find new relationships and make new friends in one of the most vibrant cities in the world! London. You are bored of being solo and would like to change that. You would like to make new friends and make them fast! Join us and let us help you make that happen. We organise roughly about 4 socials in a month closer towards the weekends, so many people can join us after work in the city to mingle with each other. Our venues tend to be easily accessible by public transport. Our social events tend to be catered towards to about 15 to 20 members at any given time, which gives members an opportunity to mingle with everyone present. Here is how we will do things differently Ever since Covid has occurred the world has changed ways in how we function and operate. Meeting people of various cultures has become difficult with various restrictions and with online events people rarely have the opportunity of meeting face to face and this results in not getting the right opportunity to meet in person. We will always have hosts at all our events. You will always be greeted by someone at all our events and introduced to others. Click on the link to understand [WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO SOCIALISE AT OUR MEETUPS!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LRateMtBKE) We will minimise no shows by requiring attendees to pay a deposit in advance. No shows are misleading and not fun for organisers nor for members. We will strive to attract a high quality membership who prefer higher quality venues and events. We will constantly request members to help us host events and take a lead on activities so that we have energy and variety. Click on the link to our website and have a look at our other cities that we host in - [www.fastfriends.co.uk](https://fastfriends.co.uk/) I very much hope that you will join us and create a vibrant social community which is close-knit and high quality.

**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.

⚛️❌ NO physics background required! ❌⚛️ 💡 Just be sure to bring your curiosity =] 💡 \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- "Did you ever get the feeling that **conventional physics was just too contorted to be correct?**" — *Ray Fleming, The Zero-Point Universe* \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- I certainly did. I've always been fascinated with **what constitutes our experience of reality** — complete with all of its textures 🪵, its colours, its vibrancy 🌈, and its oddity. So... just what is all this... *stuff*?? When I went to school to find the answer to such a question by learn about humanity's cutting-edge understanding of nature (y'know, that science-y subject we call *physics*) I was told that there were * *four* fundamental forces in the nature *(electromagnetic, strong nuclear, weak nuclear, and gravitational)*... but **why four**? — *[and why won't gravity play nice with the other three??]* * *six* types of subatomic particles called quarks (*up,* *down, top, bottom, charm, strange*)... **why six?!** * our BEST model of the universe can only explain <5% of energy / phenomena we observe in the universe... the other inexplicable >95% we have given the moniker ***dark energy*** / ***matter / gravity***. Much like medieval cartographers, not knowing what lay in the world's oceans deep, they drew sea monsters and said *"Here be dragons!! 🐉"* * *General Relativity (i.e. Gravitation)* and *Quantum Mechanics (the rest)*, the two most successful and fundamental theories that we have in physics, are totally incompatible with one another. **And neither make intuitive sense**, giving rise to the popular phrase *"Shut up and calculate!"* Thankfully, in Dec 2023, I found out that we can do better than this. Much, much better. **... okay... so you wanna meet up and talk about... science?** Um, kinda! It doesn't matter whether you're a professional physicist, or you are a spiritual truth-seeker, or you're simply curious as to what the 'true' nature of what physical reality is, **this group is for you**! **Ray Fleming**'s 30+ years of scientific inquiry has produced a unified model of physics that had previously been hidden in plain sight. He is yet unrecognised by academia, but his work holds untold potential not only for advancing in our understanding of nature, of energy and of matter, but also of technology, philosophy, society, mythology, spirituality, and perhaps even of human consciousness as well. For this reason and much besides, **I *just* think it's worth getting our physics right**. **... so... what happens at these Meetups?** *🪐* We meet in a pub in Wapping, and we talk about life, science, the ways we experience reality (about 80-85% of the time) and about 15%-20% I throw in some ideas as outlined in Ray's book *[The](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zero-Point-Universe-Ray-Fleming/dp/1470033976/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=zero+point+universe&qid=1707853285&sr=8-1)*[ ](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zero-Point-Universe-Ray-Fleming/dp/1470033976/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=zero+point+universe&qid=1707853285&sr=8-1)*[Zero-Point Universe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zero-Point-Universe-Ray-Fleming/dp/1470033976/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=zero+point+universe&qid=1707853285&sr=8-1)* — all over bevvy ☕️ or a beer 🍻 or food 🍛 or whatever you like. I'd like to think of this group as a **super informal reading group / hang out** =] I'm really looking forward to seeing you in the upcoming events! Hok 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 *p.s. 🪷 with a very heavy heart that I was informed that Ray Fleming passed away 4 months ago. May he rest in eternal peace, unified once more with the quantum zero-point energy field that he has dedicated his life studying.* 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 p.p.s if you're interested in discussing Ray's work with people, I'm building a community around ZPU. Please connect with us via these [ZPU WhatsApp / Telegram groups](linktr.ee/rayfleming)! =] **Mini FAQ:** *▶ Is this meetup is about pseudoscience, then?* Short answer: NO. Long answer: *it depends on what you mean by pseudoscience*. Zero-Point Energy is a scientifically established and verified concept used to describe the immense amount of energy found in the vacuum of space by Albert Einstein himself (as *Nullpunktsenergie*), which is often ignored in conventional physics research. Ray's work simply asks the question: "*What* *kind of physics do we get if we STOPPED ignoring zero-point energy?*". His resultant quantum dipole model of the quantum field unifies all forces (including gravity) under the Electro-matter Maxwell force, and much more besides. Despite being a remarkable body of work, it must be considered fringe physics as it is not widely accepted yet. *▶ By 'unified' are you referring to the search for the Grand Unified Theory (GUT)? or the Theory of Everything (TOE)? But that's the Holy Grail of physics!* Short answer, YES, absolutely I am. Long answer: please watch this video titled [\[The\] Theory of Everything is Quantum Field Theory](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQvgde1cj7w). *▶ Wow. Big claims! How do I find out more about Ray's work?* I've gathered all his online resources [in this Linktree](https://linktr.ee/rayfleming). Take your time, and enjoy. =]

It is your responsibility to **[remove yourself from the Waitlist](https://www.meetup.com/LondonSocialBadminton/messages/boards/thread/51631699)** if you can no longer make it to avoid being charged a no-show if someone cancels late. \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ **FAQs** **IS THE CLUB OPEN TO BEGINNERS?** * Yes - for our Monday and Thursday sessions. The majority of members are intermediate level but we have beginners and advanced players as well. It would be helpful if you have looked up the rules and basics before you come though! You can view what each of the **[Badminton Levels](https://www.meetup.com/LondonSocialBadminton/messages/boards/thread/53265045)** mean on our board. **HOW DO I PAY?** * We are currently cashless! Please pay the session fee by 5pm of the session day * If no payment is received by 5pm on the session day, you may be removed from the list to allow for someone on the waitlist to take the spot * Please use “your meetup name + date of event” as payment reference * **Account name:** Thomas Lam * **Sort code:** 04-00-03 * **Account number:** 7478 8608 **CAN I BRING A FRIEND?** * Yes! Currently we allow you to bring a +1 with your RSVP. The +1 feature is intended to be for partners or friends that are attending for the first time or don't have their own meetup account. * It is not supposed to be used to book for other people at the club or used to offer spots to other people on the waitlist. * **Note:** If you are on the waitlist with a +1, the meetup system won't offer you a spot unless 2 spots are available at the same time. It is suggested that you only join the waitlist as an individual to ensure you are not skipped over. **THE LIST IS FULL, CAN I COME?** * No, but you can add yourself to the waitlist so that when someone cancels, you WILL get a spot in the order of RSVP.
