Strictly Social – (Formerly Known as Basingstoke Meetup Group). Basingstoke’s newest social group for fun loving people in their 50s and 60s. (Note – those who fall out of this age bracket will not be turned away, as long as they are sociable and wish to meet new people, make friends, and participate in a range of events.) It is my intention for this new group to be inclusive, therefore sub-groups and cliques will be discouraged. As whilst they are inevitable, they are unhelpful and not conducive to the growth of a friendly group. Proposed events – For the forthcoming year, I propose to offer at least 2 events per month. Sometimes there maybe more. I intend to support our local community through patronising events such as fetes; coffee mornings; amateur dramatics etc. So, expect events as follows: Regular coffee morning (Herriard) Regular club night (TBA) At least one weekend away (TBA) Theatre; meals out; picnics; BBQs; museum visits; exhibitions; lunches At least one event in a member’s home; A trip to London Occasional weekend walks with lunch and a National Trust visit or similar This list is by no means exhaustive. All ideas welcome. Funding – I am sure you will appreciate that very little in this life comes for free. So, I am afraid I have to make an annual charge. Unlike previously, there will be no joining fee. Membership will cost you just £10 per person per until 31 December 2024. No couples discount. You join this group as an individual. Once you join, I will send details of how to pay your membership fees. You will then be able to browse the site and sign up for events. I look forward to receiving your application. Anne

Have you happily hit fifty, or sixty, but still want to try out new things and make new friends? Have you spare time on your hands, or now work from home and would love some company to have a break from work with? Have you lived in the area for years, but still don’t feel you have a wide enough circle of friends to do things with, or have moved here just pre all the lockdowns and have yet to meet new friends in the area? Then let’s get this group started! Aimed at anyone from 50 to 70, the group’s about daytime and evening activities, sociable walks, coffee and cake breaks, meals out, days out, the theatre, live music, all kinds of sports (any badminton players out there?), movies, sharing hobbies and passions, or just plain being sociable on a drinks night out… Open to all ideas (and co-hosts very welcome!) but most of all, to making new friends, whether you’re part of a couple, or on your own. (Please bear in mind the groups COVID policy - double vaccinated only or prepared to prove a negative test before attending an event if unvaccinated due to medical reasons). N.B. To cover Meetup's fees, there will be a £5 charge for each six-month membership period, from 1st October 2022. When joining you will need to pay your membership fee to be part of the group.

Join us! We are a group for anyone interested in board/card games in the Fleet area. We are enthusiasts for classics such as Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, 6 nimmt! and Love Letter (Monopoly, Risk, Scrabble don’t make it to our tables). We now meet up every Wednesday at the Lismoyne hotel in Fleet. Our evenings do not have a set agenda - members bring a selection of their games and we play whatever people want to play. Meet up with some friends, or make some new ones. Use the comments to ask any questions about the group and what games are being played.

Hello and Welcome to Surrey and Hampshire Walkers! This group is for people like to get out walking, enjoy the beauty of the countryside, meet new people and experience friendship, fun and the joy of doing things with like-minded people. We are an active, friendly and very popular group. Our walks vary in length and cater for all. We walk at about 2.5 miles an hour, so are not for those long-distance hikers that want to get from A to B in the fastest possible time. We like to stop, take photos, and we often have a pub visit either halfway or at the end of the walk. You may or may not be aware, that the Meetup Organization charges a rental fee for the group's website. Unlike many other groups, we do not have an annual membership fee.  The rental fee charged for the site and other expenses involved in running the group are paid for by the organisers. Each event takes time to organise and manage, therefore we charge £4 per walk. Members of this group treat each other with the utmost respect and courtesy. Unkind or inconsiderate behaviour won't be tolerated. Please always address the organisers and other members, whether in writing or person, in a polite manner. Aggressive or confrontational behaviour is simply unacceptable and will be dealt with swiftly. The organisers reserves the right to remove any comments that go against our group philosophy. We are volunteers, who are running this group to the best of our ability. People who are overly demanding or just plain rude will be removed from this group. **Please be responsible for yourself. Before you send us an email, ask yourself this: (a) did I actually read the Meetup event description, and (b) could I look this up on the internet myself?**   Like a lot of other groups, we have a No Show rule.   If you RSVP Yes to an event, and do not turn up or let the Event Host know you cannot attend, unless there are extenuating circumstances which are communicated to the Event Host, after the second time this happens we will terminate your membership of the group. Also, the organisers have the right to cancel any members who do not fit with the group. Event Hosts have the right to ask a member to leave the event, if they are obviously affecting the enjoyment of other members. **Please note that under 16's are not allowed on any of our events, sorry!** Most of our walks welcome dogs too and all we ask is that they are friendly and well behaved.  **Please note that dogs must be kept on a lead for the whole duration of the walk and at any pub stops.**  Event Host has the right to ask the member to leave if they feel their dog(s) doesn't fit this criteria. You are responsible for your dog on the walk and must look out for any main roads or hazards. **At all of our events, you take part at your own risk. The Group Organiser or Event Host is not responsible for your safety.** That's the rules done with - all you need to do now is upload a current photo of yourself (this is mandatory, helps Event Hosts to look out for you and helps everyone remember your name) and attend an event of your choice.  (We reserve the right to cancel your membership if no photo or an unsuitable photo is uploaded). Please don't worry about coming along on your own - we've all done it. We give everybody a warm welcome and we look forward to seeing you at one of our events soon!
