New Group

Blackpool and Preston Under 30's Social Group

Blackpool, H2

Hello, I'm setting up this group, as there appears to be no social/new friends groups for the under 30's in Blackpool. I know only too well how difficult it can be to make new friends and socialise in your 20's, particularly if you're shy, neurodiverse, anxious. I am aiming to get people of this age together to meet for drinks/ eating out/cinema etc. I am myself a woman in my 50's and have been spurred on to do this as I realise there are many younger people who are lonely and struggle to make friends, so I'm more overseeing this group to see if there are any younger people who wish to get together themselves with ideas and wanting to meet each other for drinks etc. Obviously if events are organised, all I ask is if you put you're attending and you cannot, could you please inform the group. We don't want people turning up for there to be no other people there. Please feel free to join and chat and I can look at setting up meet for you. Thank you, Charlotte.

Fylde Coast Socialites

Blackpool, H2

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.
