Peterborough Friends
Welcome to Peterborough Friends. We have been getting people off their sofas and out of the house since 2015. Firstly, we are not a singles, dating website, we are a social group.  We welcome friends from anywhere of any age, whether you are single, in a relationship or married. We eat out, drink, laugh, walk, dance, party, go to the theatre and even go on holidays. The group has events to suit anyone of any age. If you are fed up of staying in, wasting your time on dating websites and social media or just lonely then please give the group a try.  Scroll through our calendar and see the many varied events planned for this year. If you are interested in an event then please sign up to it so that myself and the other members can look out for you. Can I please ask that you bring cash when attending meals out as it makes it easier to pay the bill and means that the waitress does not have several small card payments for one booking. All meals will require a £5 deposit. This is to secure your place. If you cannot attend for a genuine reason I will transfer the deposit to another event, however if you cancel on the day of the event this will not be refunded. In the event of a meal being cancelled the deposits will be refunded. If I have asked for your deposit and you have not sent it I will move your name on to the waiting list until it has been received. If you RSVP for a theatre trip please send the full payment to me straight away as I have to book tickets for these events promptly so that we can all sit together. Lifts and travel can be shared so please don't be afraid to ask. Just post a comment on the event to see if anyone can help. Please do not contact people directly for lifts unless you have made friends with them. If you are free during the day we meet on Mondays at 11am and Thursdays at 2pm at Central Park. We meet outside the Willow Cafe in the centre of the park. If the weather is bad we still meet for coffee. These are gentle walks but if you would rather just come for a chat and a coffee please arrive at 11.30 and I will meet you in the cafe. If you prefer a longer walk then please sign up for Mark's alternate Sunday and Wednesday evening walks. MEMBERSHIP You will need an up to date photo of yourself to join this group. This is so I can recognise you at events. You will be removed from the group if you refuse to do this. It is helpful if you add a surname as we are a large group and this will make it easier for me. You are welcome to try out the group for free but after two events the cost is £25 for the year, via bank transfer to M J James, Halifax 11-07-34 00228953 ref "sub" or you can pay cash at any event where I have a receipt book. This cost covers the website charges, some of my expenses and allows me to run the group on a full time basis. This amount is non-refundable. If you do not attend your first event for six months your membership will be cancelled unless the subscription payment is received. SPONSORSHIP We are sponsored by Vicky Langton who works with Travel Counsellors. Here are a few words from Vicky ... "I can help you with any of your travel arrangements, from a weekend away, your favourite place to visit, a new destination to explore or for the trip of a lifetime. I want to ensure that I can find your perfect holiday that is tailor-made to you. I will work around the hours you are available, to discuss and sort your travel arrangements. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email, I will be more than happy to help” Tel: 01507 462 581 / 07516 705441 Email: [vicky.langton@travelcounsellors.com](mailto:vicky.langton@travelcounsellors.com)” If you have any concerns or questions please contact me on 07712107646 or send me a message on Meet Up. If you have a complaint about anyone in the group please contact me privately.  Please do not post comments on events regarding any complaints or these will be removed immediately. Anyone who cannot behave in an appropriate manner at events will be removed. I hope you enjoy your time with Peterborough Friends.

Coffee,Chill,Chatter Brunch/Breakfast Group (inc.Club Vista)

Earls Barton, J1

Coffee,Chill,Chatter Brunch/Breakfast Group (inc.Club Vista)
Hi there and a warm welcome from our Organisers, David, Vee, Michelle and Alison. We are a fun loving group of all ages and from all walks of like who enjoy coffee, chilling and chatting and those extra special events - theatre, museums, concerts, dining etc. etc. In fact anything and everything that life has to offer and is best shared with friends We have lots of lovely interesting events, locally and nationally, and please do feel free to ask any questions you may have about any event. We don‘t have lots of “rules and regs” but would ask that you do please take the following important points “on board” : 1. We are NOT a dating group 2. Courtesy, consideration and respect is the "order of the day" 3. When possible we aim to keep membership numbers to 60/65 max. to better facilitate long term friendships 4. **If you have RSVP’d an event and then find you cannot make it *then you let us know as quickly as possible* as our groups are very popular and almost always have a “Wait List” for others wishing to attend our events. *Members who fail to show up and don't let us know will need to be removed from the Group.*** 5. If we have not heard from or met you within 3 months of you joining the Group we will need to remove your membership to make room for others waiting to join. However you will be free to rejoin once you are ready to participate in our events. 6. After your first event, and since Organisers fund these groups personally, a small NON-REFUNDABLE membership fee of £6.00 per year (which equates to around 12p per week !) will become due to cover, in part, some of the expenses incurred by the Organisers in sourcing venues and arranging events So, all that said, we look forward to welcoming you, to having lots of fun and laughter and chatter, making lots of new friends and occasionally doing something extra special.   **Best wishes and bibi4now.** **David, Vee, Michelle & Alison** **Group Organisers**

Club Vista (formerly "We Love London") - Special Events
Hi there - welcome ... pleased to meet you :-)   Our Organisers, David, Vee, Michelle and Alison have managed our 3 highly interactive MU groups for the past 14+ years. 1. We don‘t have lots of “rules and regs” but would ask that you take these important points “on board” : 2. We are not a dating group and when possible keep membership numbers to 40 max to better promote friendships rather than “memberships” 3. Courtesy, consideration and respect is the "order of the day" 4. **If you have RSVP’d and then find you cannot make it that you let us know as quickly as possible as our groups are very popular and almost always have a “Wait List” for others wishing to attend our events** 5. Organisers like to meet up with new members “newbies” for coffee and a chat (if possible) so that you get an idea of how we run our groups, so one of us will be in touch to try and arrange this.  Having an initial coffee and chat goes a long way to making “newbies” feel much more comfortable when attending their first event with us as you will already know a least one or two other people 6. Once we have met with you and you are comfortable with us, and since our Organisers fund these groups personally, then a small NON-REFUNDABLE membership fee of £6.00 per year/50p per month (which equates to just over 12p per week !) will need to be paid **before you attend any specific events**. So, all that said, we look forward to welcoming you, to having lots of fun and laughter and chatter, making lots of new friends and occasionally doing something extra special.   **Best wishes and bibi4now.** **David, Vee, Michelle & Alison** **Group Organisers**
