Meet new friends groups near Ross-on-Wye, F7

Six Legged Walks around Ledbury

Ledbury, F7

Six Legged Walks around Ledbury
This Meetup group is for well socialised dogs who want to bring their humans on a lovely hike in the Herefordshire, Gloucestershire or Worcestershire countryside. We’ll meet 2 or 3 times a month for energetic hikes of varying distances and they will usually involve a hill or two! The group is a voluntary amateur social group (your Meetup membership terms include a release of liability for group organisers) hence you are solely responsible for the safety and actions of yourself and your dogs and are expected to respect other group members, land and livestock, and other users of the areas we visit. Due to Meetup doubling their fees I've introduced a £5 joining fee and an annual £5 membership fee due every January. Anyone joining October to December won't be expected to pay the annual fee for their first year. This goes towards paying the meetup subscription cost and any surplus may be used towards other group activities or donated to dog charities. No one will earn any income from the group. So if you enjoy a good hike with your dog, discovering new routes and would like to meet other friendly dogs and their owners then please join us. (The group is for dog owners only plus one guest and membership numbers limited so that there is a good chance of meeting the same people and dogs repeatedly to encourage friendships. Any inactive members, or those who repeatedly cancel, will be politely but firmly removed to make way for anyone who may be waiting to join!)

WOW SINGLES WALKING & SOCIAL GROUP - GLOUCESTERSHIRE

Gloucester, E6

WOW SINGLES WALKING & SOCIAL GROUP - GLOUCESTERSHIRE

We are a social group of walkers who enjoy the countryside primarily on Sundays with a few summer midweek outings. Our walks are generally 4 - 7 miles and rated at an easy to moderate level - the detail is spelled out in each meetup description. Our walks are moderately paced. We welcome everyone who considers themselves to be single and pride ourselves in offering a warm welcome to all newbies. Well behaved dogs are welcome but are the responsibility of their owners. You are advised to bring a bottle of water, appropriate clothing and footwear for the conditions. Bring a snack or picnic for the midpoint stop - we do also dally occasionally to allow for photographs or to admire the view. Afterwards we tend to adjourn to a local hostelry for a drink and/or food which is entirely optional. 

The emphasis is on having a pleasant day out, visiting interesting and beautiful places, meeting people and making friends rather than conquering summits or getting from A to B as quickly as possible. WOW, have a wonderful day out, meet new friends, share a joke and a laugh.

We ask for a small donation of £2 towards the website Fees and the Organisers expenses in planning the Walk, each time that you walk with us. The walk leader will always have recently walked over the route.

When you book on a Walk and are unable to attend, please change your RSVP on the site to free the place for another Walker or send the walk leader a text message on the day. The walk will proceed shortly after the published time and will not wait unless a message is received that you are in the vicinity when we will wait for a few minutes.

Most of our Walkers are in the age range of 40/50/60's.

Please also note:

1) That by signing up for this Group, you accept that you take part entirely at your own risk.

2) Where as organisers are facilitating activities, he or she will not be held legally or otherwise responsible for any accidents or other mishaps during any event. Life in general and particularly outdoor activities are never without risks. " Those who take part consent to the Risk involved" The Group has no liability insurance and by signing up for the Group you agree that you will make your own risk assessment of the conditions of location and the weather.

3) If you have any doubts about you abilities, the weather conditions or the terrain or the ground, you must discuss it with your Organiser before the start of the Walk.

4) Please advise your fellow Walkers as early as possible if you encounter difficulties during a Walk or if you see another Walker with problems.

We walk in rural areas and there is no Public Transport to the start of our Walks. You do need organise your own transport to get there.

Gloucester Socials (ages 20 - 45)

Gloucester, E6

Gloucester Socials (ages 20 - 45)
This is a group for those in their 20s/30s wanting to make new friends and socialise in the Gloucester area. Everyone has their first event where they don't know anyone, so we will try to introduce you to people and try to make you feel included. If you ever get stuck on your own, come and talk to us. Please note that we will not tolerate any behaviour that makes others feel uncomfortable, including unsolicited messaging, asking for photos etc. If we feel this is happening, you will be banned from the group. This is not a dating group so please don't join with that intention. Please try to keep your RSVP's up-to-date. Last minute drop-outs make it hard to fill spaces, and if you don't show up then we may have been waiting for you. A no-show will result in you being removed from the group. On-the-day drop-outs are not fair on the venue, those on the waitlist or the host. In the past we have booked things where quite a number of people have dropped out on the day, upsetting the venue or other members. We do require every member to have a profile photo that includes their face being visible. This is so that we can make sure we know who you are, and to prevent spam accounts etc :) Make sure you don't miss out on events - in the app, go to the group then choose "Email Settings" and select "New event announcements". On the website this can be done from "Group notifications". If you feel nervous or have any questions before attending an event, please message us and we will do our best to support you - we are here to help! We look forward to seeing you all soon and thank you for being part of our Group :)
