Just Good Friends

Chorley, H2

Just Good Friends
Welcome, we are here to Make new Friends! \ This is for Male & Female Adults. \ Dining & Drinks, Theatre, Cinema, Afternoon Tea, Coffee, 10 Pin Bowling, Crazy Golf, Dancing, Live Music, etc \ Outdoors, Walking, Camping/ Glamping, Kayaking, Sailing, Outdoor Swimming, Kipping on the Beach, etc \ We are open to new events/ Activities. Sadly Corvid 19 has stopped/ curtailed many activities and we are looking for new guide lines/ rules all the time to manage our events safely and inline with local and National Rules as and when they change. **The Aim of "JUST GOOD FRIENDS"**, (henceforth referred to as The Group) is a means for people to take part in various social activities in a safe and friendly atmosphere. The Group is open to anyone who is a fit and proper person. Our activities are typically eating out, going for a drink (Coffee / Alcohol), walking (with dogs or without) etc. If a Member has a particular interest, they are free to propose or even organise an Event via a Committee Member of which there are 4: **• Peter Walmsley - Chair** **• Robert Jackson - Treasurer.** **• Vacant - Secretary.** **• Lorraine Green - Member Co-Ordinator.** **Membership.** A person may attend a maximum of 1 Event as a Guest before deciding whether or not to join The Group. *(Anyone can apply to join The Group, however, The Committee reserves the right to refuse/ exclude any person who is deemed unacceptable for whatever reason, and their decision is absolute.) Annual membership is £10.00 and is due on the 2nd Event and then annually there after.* **Members must conduct themselves** in a proper and appropriate fashion, with due regard for the feelings and sensibilities of others. As the name indicates, The Groups function is to create friends, not acrimony and ill-feeling. If a member has a problem, there is a complaints procedure (see below), and it should be taken up with the Member Co-Ordinator. **First and Surnames** (or initial), as well as a recognisable photo on the Meetup Website, are always helpful for the purposes of recognition at an Event and subsequent communications. (if you do not feel comfortable with this - Its okay, but bear in mind that if 2 Members are using the same first name only, this may cause confusion). Please note that this is a "Closed Group" and therefore Photographs are not public; they are visable to The Group Members only. A phone number and email address are also useful for the purposes of contact by The Group only. **When Booking on** to an EVENT and you subsequently find that you cannot make it for a whatever reason, please change your RSVP to "Not Going" and let the Event HOST know ASAP please. There may be a waiting list and this will allow someone else to use your place. If you are shy and find it difficult to meet strangers, let the EVENT HOST know and they will meet you are the EVENT entrance to provide reassurance and effect introductions to the other members. **COMMITTEE members and EVENT HOSTS** meet on a regular basis, at least once a month, to discuss any pertinent issues and matters which may have arisen.  **The Group is an informal one**, and as such cannot take responsibility for individuals attending EVENTS This is particularly the case at EVENTS involving physical activity such as walking, travelling etc. It is beholden on individual members to take responsibility for their own safety and conduct themselves in a fit & proper fashion. **Complaints Procedure:** A complaint should initially be directed to the Member Co-Ordinator (or their delegate). Should the complaint not be satisfied, it will be taken to the COMMITTEE for a Resolution. If the issue is still unresolved, the chair (or their delegate) will make the final decision which is absolute.

Fylde Coast Socialites

Blackpool, H2

Fylde Coast Socialites

Our group is for the more discerning grownup in their 40s,50s and 60s, who wants to get out there and enjoy themselves with like-minded peeps ! We will be wining, dining, strolling, visiting, watching, listening, chatting, smiling, laughing and generally enjoying all that life has to offer, here on the fabulous Fylde Coast.

Please read through the following before joining our fab group.


Please supply an up to date face photo of just yourself, so we can recognise you at an event.

On acceptance you will be expected to attend one event (to see if the group is for you, and you are for us!) within the first 3 months before paying subs.



Please attend on a regular basis. We offer a wide choice of events for you to enjoy......don't while away your life on the outside looking in. Join in !

*If you don't attend for a 3 month period you will be removed from the group, and in accordance with Meetups refund policy, so please private message me if there is a genuine reason you find yourself temporarily unable to join in*

Subs are for the twelve month period from the date of joining and subject to Meetups terms and conditions.



We hope you will become a much valued member of our group. To remain so, please follow these three simple requests:-

1/ Please do not 'no show'. Message the host. You wouldn't stand a friend up so don't do it to us !

    1 'no show', with an explanation allowed...stuff happens! 2 and you will get a reminder. 3 'no shows' ....sorry but you will lose your membership. Please don't let that happen.

If you 'no show' before you have paid subs, sorry but you will automatically lose your membership.

2/ Please do give at least 24hrs notice if you can't attend an event. This could allow a fellow socialite to take your place.

3/ Please do not repeatedly change your RSVP from yes to no. Our events are well attended and you might be stopping another socialite from joining in.....so only rsvp if you are sure of attending. 

Just basic good manners really !



Our group is for people to enjoy each other's company, not a dating site. Please don't send potentially unwanted messages to a fellow socialite. 

If you have any special requirements ie dietary etc, please contact the venue directly youself, to see if they can accommodate your needs. 

All events at attendees own risk. Whilst we try to be aware of any potential problems, we are all unpaid volunteers running a small social group for your enjoyment. We are not qualified members of staff.

Socialites can bring the same guest (who would potentially qualify for membership in their own right) to two meetups in a twelve month period, after which we would hope they have enjoyed themselves so much that they will also want to become a member !

Suggestions for events, and offers to host such events welcome. The success of the group is dependant on its members being proactive. We can guide and support you through hosting an event. Remember to check the calendar first to see if the date is available and an event is not already scheduled. Simples !


We are not a dog walking group. 1 small, well behaved doggo with its owner may be allowed on a walk. Please check with the host.


For the comfort of our members, we are a non smoking group.

Membership is on a discretionary basis, in line with Meetup policy.

Southport Software Dev Meetup

Southport, 28

Southport Software Dev Meetup

Do you build software, wrangle data, or craft digital experiences? Are you tired of having to voyage out to Liverpool or Manchester to meet like-minded devs? This is the meetup for you! 

All are welcome to come along to this free meetup to network and learn new things.


📅📌 When and Where

The meetup is monthly (more or less), usually in the second or third week. Join the group to get notifications of upcoming events!

The venue is Paymentshield on the Kew business park (Paymentshield House, Wight Moss Way, PR8 4HQ)

The event runs 6pm - 8pm with snacks and drinks provided.

It's free of charge.


👩‍💻👨‍💻 Who

The meetup is open to everyone including hobbyists, students, and the tech-curious. Our main audience is professional digital workers and undergrads.

We are working on a Code of Conduct which we plan to enforce, to build a healthy community where everyone feels welcome.


💻 What

We are not being fussy about tech stack as Southport is a fairly small catchment area! So we are open to everything from .Net to MEAN, Excel scripters to Pythonistas.

We hope that you can bring what you find interesting to the group, because we will probably find it interesting too!


📢 Format

We have a techy main talk and Q+A, all wrapped up in some nice coffee and chatting times.

In future occasions, we'd like to have more "lightning talk" slots, as well as time for everyone to network and demo what you're working on.
