Meet new friends groups near Maldon, E4

We are a Romford-based badminton club that has been running since the 1940s – some of our members have been playing at Wychelm BC for 40 years now! We provide five courts of social and competitive badminton every Monday, between 7.30pm and 9.30pm, with players of all ages among our ranks. Although we are an inclusive club, we are not a training facility and do not provide coaching, therefore we are not suitable for complete beginners who wish to learn to play badminton. For us, Wychelm BC is a weekly commitment to keep fit, make new friends and enjoy the sport that we all love!

**Welcome to Chelmsford Book Club!** We are a friendly and inclusive group who meet once a month to discuss a book we have collectively read over the previous month. We invite suggestions for books to read and ask the group to vote on those which are nominated.  We try to cover a wide range of genres including classics, fiction and non-fiction and seek to make membership as inclusive as possible. From time to time we try link the reading of plays with broadcasts by the National Theatre and showing at the local cinemas, arrange social meals and gatherings.  Previous events include a walk at Wivenhoe to coincide with reading The Essex Serpent, a history trip to Manningtree in relation to The Witchfinders Sister, and a walk along the Essex Way referenced in A House for Essex at Wrabness and a link with the reading of Grayson Perry’s Portrait of the artist as a young girl. **Book Club Admin** Because we are a group run by volunteers we seek to minimise administration burdens and ask members to pay a yearly subscription of £10, which helps cover the Meetup website fees.  Payment options can include either £5 every 6 months or £10 per year and we ask for these to be paid in June and December. If you are new to the book club, we invite you to attend 2 meetings before paying the subscription fees providing you an opportunity to see if this is a group you would like to regularly participate in. We request new members pay £2 per meeting for subsequent meetings prior to the June or December subscription being paid. Please note that any money we receive over and above the cost of Meetup fees is given back to the book club and either put towards the cost of our Christmas and summer outings or spent on Meetup drinks during book club events.  We do not aim to make a profit from the group. **Book Club events** We ask members who have nominated books to run the sessions, so that the nominee has an opportunity to explore aspects of the books which they feel are important, and to share the running of the group.  This is not compulsory.  Please contact one of the organisers in advance if you either cannot make the session your book was nominated for, or if you do not wish to run the session. The meetings are very informal and we often go off topic. We do not aim to be a high-brow set of intellectuals – just a group of friends doing the things we love. **Similar groups you wish to explore** Please see other local meetups including Chelmsford Ladies’ Book Club.  There are also several reading groups and writing groups in the local public libraries (visit https://libraries.essex.gov.uk/events/  and search under Event type: Book Groups).  Or you could start a book club yourself?  You are welcome to contact us if you would like advice on this. Thanks for taking a look at Chelmsford Book Club.  We hope to see you soon! Paul, Becky, Jill and Maria, your Chelmsford Book Club organisers

Welcome to Chelmsford Friendship Group. As we move into our fourth year, the club is all about making friends and having fun. We now number over 800 members! Over the last three years we have created a happy and safe environment where people can meet and have fun. We have hosted many events, from restaurants evenings to pubs, clubs, and local events. Our more popular events are the mid-week and weekend hosted walks, pub quizzes, cocktail and drinks evenings and fish and chip picnics which are always great fun. We also have a book club and many interesting and highly enjoyable walks, several meals out for all tastes and plenty of informal weekend drinks gatherings. Open to anyone of any age although the bulk of our members are in the 40/50 age range. Be involved as much as you wish, be it suggesting and hosting new events or sitting back and just enjoying yourself with new friends. We are always looking for new hosts so if you would like to join our team please get in touch with one of the leadership team and we can guide you through the process. As a club our number one concern is safety and we operate strictly within our Code of Conduct and we expect all our members to agree to this. We are very welcoming and value inclusivity whilst having a zero-tolerance policy for any unacceptable behavior from our members that would make anybody feel uncomfortable or excluded. To cover the admin costs there will be a small, one off fee of £5.00 (payable by all new members) into our (Community/Business) bank account: **Bank**: MetroBank **Account Name**: Chelmsford Friendship Group **Account No**: 44126710 **Sort code**: 23-05-80 This fee is mandatory to all new members after your first event. Our organisers generously give their time free to administer this, so please assist them in actioning this payment promptly. We are incredibly proud of our club and the 100’s of fantastic friendships it has made. Going into 2024 this is going to be our best and most active year so far, so come and join us, we can’t wait to meet you all. The Leadership team ———— **CODE OF CONDUCT** Our group is about friendship and fun, our organisers willingly give their time to ensure all our members get the most out of the group and it is with this in mind that we have a few simple codes we would expect all of our members to adhere to. **1\. Subscription \-** This is just £5.00 when you join the group and this covers the group's administration. We would expect all new members to pay this after you have attended your first event. It would be unfair to make our leadership team have to chase this, as failure to pay this after a reasonable amount of time would result in your membership being put on hold. **2\. Age range \-** Although this group is open to anybody, it is ideally suited to people aged 40 and above. **3\. Event booking \-** Most of our events are very popular and have large waitlists attached to them. If you booked one and do not turn up or cancel at the very last minute, it is very disappointing as another member on the Waitlist would have happily taken this spot and the organiser can waste large amounts of time waiting for you to arrive. All you need to do is change your RSVP to 'Not Going'.  We realise that things happen unexpectedly and this is sometimes unavoidable. However, if a member consistently does not turn up to events they will automatically be removed from event lists. **4\. Profile Photo \-** We do ask for your profile photograph to be a recognisable likeness of yourself, as this aids our organisers finding you at busy events. **5\. Photo and Video \-** We all like capturing and uploading memories from many of the fun events we have. Out of courtesy we would advise you to ensure the subject of your pictures are aware and give you their permission before uploading or tagging them in social media posts. **6\. Unsolicited use of the database \-** As a group we are able to direct message each other through the MeetUp platform. Please do not abuse this facility and note that we have a zero tolerance policy for the following: * Promoting goods and services via the app * Unsolicited approaching of members for personal relationships * Using the database to directly message members and organise events outside of the Meet Up Group. In all cases the member will be removed from the group once a final warning has been issued. **7\. Personal details \-** We actively encourage using this group to develop closer friendships. However, please use caution when disclosing personal contact details with another member. If in doubt please see one of the leadership team for guidance **8\. Respect and courtesy \-** We are all ambassadors of the group and as such we expect everybody to be polite and respectful to staff at venues where we have organised events. Many of the venues we go to are regular events where we are well known to the staff, who very often go the extra mile to give us a great event. It is with this in mind that we ask that if you have an issue with food or service, please offer that feedback in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions regarding any event please contact the host and not the venue. Also, our organisers give up their free time and often put a lot of work into these events. If you feel the event was not as you expected, please feed that back in a respectful and constructive way. Once again, we take a zero tolerance to this and persistent or serious breaches of this will result in the member being removed from the group following the issue of a final warning. **9\. Behaviour** - Safety and comfort of our members is our number one concern. Below is a list, although not an exhaustive one, of what will not be tolerated. * Aggressive behaviour/bullying * Degrading comments around race, politics, culture, sexual orientation, and gender identification * Any unwanted behaviour or comments towards a member that would make them feel uncomfortable or unsafe * Failure to comply with government guidelines around the control of COVID 19. If you require further clarity around any of these points, please contact one of the group leadership team. As this is a private group the Organiser reserves the right to remove a member if they are deemed to be having a negative effect on members within the group. Leadership team

As a social group we welcome singles, couples and married people aged 35+, who would like to come out and socialise to meet new people with the emphasis on having fun in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Our aim is to have a variety of events throughout the week, weekend, daytime and/or evenings hopefully to suit all interests and tastes. At every event there will be plenty of friendly faces including a host or two to welcome you. This is YOUR social group, so we will always be open to event suggestions, which we may ask you to ‘Happy Host’ for us once you have become a paid up member and you've been out on a number of events with us. So come on out and join us as there really is something for everyone. It may even change your life. All we ask is you provide a clear photograph of yourself; respect and be kind to other members of the group. We don’t want to lay down lots of rules, common sense and decency should prevail. To help cover administration costs we will ask you for a one-off membership fee of £10 per person to be paid on your 2nd event. Please note when paying a deposit for an event, this is non-refundable unless the event is cancelled. Due to the administration involved, costs of reservations (such as shows/special events) cannot be exchanged or refunded unless we are able to sell your place; which will be subject to selling any unsold places first. We will not make refunds for money paid under 10 GBP. Coach trips will apply a 28 day non exchange or refund. We collect payments through our bank account, Get Up Get Out Get Social; check individual events for required payment date, please pay promptly. We lead a variety of walks; walk leaders will advise you of suitable attire for individual walks in the description, however if you are unsure, please ask. All members can come and go to events as they please, reasons for not going are not required unless it's important. Please undo your RSVP if you are not coming to an event in good time; often there’s a waitlist. Most IMPORTANTLY of all, do join in and ENJOY.
