Walking Friends

Nottingham, J9

Walking Friends
A group with regular organised walks geographically designed to lead you around picturesque landscapes and monumental landmarks. Each walk is described in detail and often includes a map of the route, approximate miles and skill level. The leader offers historical knowledge about your guided route. Country and Urban walks, local and not so local, circular, linear. Coach trips are arranged too which are always a day to remember and add to the variety of the walking events. These coach trips offer you the choice to do the organised walk or you can go off and explore the location and join up with the walkers later. UK seaside resorts and cities are among the many favourites destinations. Please wear suitable clothing as the weather can be changeable. Walking boots, waterproof jacket are a must, layers are good as easier to be comfortable. Sunscreen, a change of socks perhaps, water bottle, snacks, a charged phone. By joining the group you are accepting full responsibility for your own health and safety. The group is a non profit organisation and each person is a part of a group of friends. Please don't attend walks if you do not feel fit and well. Each person is totally responsible for their own actions. If that policy doesn't suit then don't join. Each person joins events at their own risk. There are no qualified staff or First Aiders. The group is merely a group of friends who share a common interest in walking and the great outdoors. You must accept that the group, event organisers and hosts are not liable for your safety and wellbeing. Each person attending the events are equal and take responsibility for themselves. If that policy doesn't suit then don't join. Each member is expected to treat the fellow members with respect and kindness and any distress caused to other members could lead to immediate removal from the group. The group is free to join, there is no expectation to pay anything. Members are welcome to contribute voluntarily a couple of pounds a year which will go towards the running costs of the group. This would be greatly appreciated as meetup isn't free. Any surplus funds will be donated to a Wildlife charity of your choice and spent on savoury treats on occasions for you to enjoy. Profile photo - All members are required to have a name and photo on their profile. Profile photo should be a clear photo of yourself without sunglasses or face coverings. We must be able to recognise you from your photo. Enjoy the events and stay safe.

Leicestershire Culture & Good Intentions Club: 🧍 & đŸ§‘â€đŸ€â€đŸ§‘

Leicester, H5

Leicestershire Culture & Good Intentions Club: 🧍 & đŸ§‘â€đŸ€â€đŸ§‘
This group is for like-minded people to get together and enjoy varied events & meetings including theatre, cinema/movies, meals & drinks, walks, art, tabletop games, meditation, with a warm friendly organiser team who will make you feel very welcome as if you have been a part of us for a long time. This is an ideal time to come along to an event & meeting of your interest and not feel alone, this is all about new opportunities with a group of people wanting the same and making you feel at ease and comfortable in your surroundings. There are no big introductions on the meets only to make others aware of who you are and to be civil & polite to others in the group, we do not want people to become uncomfortable in any way. We are a friendly, warm and welcoming group who would like to welcome you on our journey of new ventures, interests, fun and to have companions to experience this with. It is a safe group and we would like everyone to be treated with respect. It is open to anyone who enjoys new experiences and meeting new people from all different backgrounds. We welcome all event ideas from all members and will plan anywhere the team feel it is right for the group. Many members from the original Leicester Good Intentions Club (LGIC) have moved to this group when the LGIC closed down in March 2018 after three successful years under Helen F's stewardship. For any member who wishes to advertise their own events, please send a message to Holger or mention it to anyone on the Organiser Team, we can easily promote you to being an Event Organiser, and in most cases we'll be happy to do so, as long as events are of interest to people based in the East Midlands. It does not matter whether these events are for leisure or business purposes, such as for relaxation, entertainment, networking or education/training (as long as there's no hard-selling). We look forward to meeting you at one of our varied events. Stating the obvious, a.k.a. good manners: 1\. Unless there's a genuine personal reason for not doing so\, we kindly request that you ensure your profile image is a clear photo of yourself\, so you can be easily recognised at our events\. 2\. Unless you have previously met in person\, and obtained consent\, please refrain from sending Direct Messages to members of the opposite gender\.

Leicester South

Leicester, H5

Leicester South

Leicester South was founded by the lovely Ruth C in January 2013 and has grown in numbers ever since. Ruth has managed the group successfully for 2.5 years and in doing so has enabled lots of people to connect and to make new friends, which has been fantastic for most and life changing for some!

Many friendships have been formed, laughs have been had and good times have been enjoyed!

And for all of this, we would like to say....

Ruth has decided to step down as Organizer but remains a good friend and member of Leicester South and we hope to see her at some of our future events.

We now have a new team of existing members who have volunteered to take on the roles of Organizer and Event Hosts and our aim is to put on a wide variety of events and to continue to attract new members.

We will be continuing with all the regular, fun events which we have all grown to love and enjoy but we have some new and exciting events we are planning for the future too, so....

Leicester South welcomes new members of any age and from any nationality or background who wish to connect and make new friends with like-minded people.

We are a very friendly bunch and will always lookout for new members and personally welcome them into the group, so if you would like to attend your first event with us, or have not been to an event for a long time, there is no need to hesitate, you will soon be chatting and laughing along with the rest of us.

Membership Fees

As some of you are aware, there is a cost involved for us to use the meetup site and so far these costs have been met by some of the regular members chipping in to keep the group going. To make this fairer for everyone from 1st August 2019 new and existing members are asked to pay an upfront amount of ÂŁ5.00 which will cover their membership until 31st July 2020.

New members (& guests of members) will not be charged anything for their first 2 events with us, however, the  ÂŁ5 charge will become payable from the 3rd event they attend with Leicester South.

All monies collected from membership fees will be used to pay the on going costs to use the site, booking fees at some of the events, deposits for events and other sundry items we need for certain events.

None of the Organisation Team benefit financially in any way from the membership fees and we all pay the same fees as all other members.

We give our time and energy free of charge because we enjoy being part of Leicester South :)

For a more detailed explanation of the membership fee structure, please see the notice on the group discussion board on the site.

If you have been looking for a way to boost your social life, try new things or meet new people, then you are in the right place, what are you waiting for?

If you have any questions at all, or would like to know how to pay your membership fees please contact one of the Organisation Team by sending a message via this site.

Thank you,

  Caroline, Caryn, Garth, Miguel, Rachael, Rich, Robin, & Sharon

We look forward to meeting you soon!
