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

Earls Barton, J1

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**

Bedford Board Gaming

Bedford, A5

Bedford Board Gaming

We are a board gaming group in Bedford. We offer a chance to meet new people who share an enjoyment of board games. We're about having a bit of fun and spending an enjoyable and sociable time doing what we like best; which is ...obviously... gaming.

Come and enjoy your first meet-up with us for free. After that, we charge £2 on Wednesday nights and £1 on Friday night sessions. The money goes to covering our meetup fees, room hire and any spare goes towards games that can be won or used by members of the group. Tea and coffee is provided on Wednesdays and you can / should buy drinks at the bar on our Friday meets. <br>

If you're not a die-hard gamer, don't worry! We have plenty of games to start you off gently.... and are currently running some extra introductory sessions to lead you in gently. Our regular members tend to bring a good selection of games with them...but do try and sign up if you are coming so that we can cater for the right amount of people.

We never play Monopoly, Scrabble, Cluedo or Backgammon ;-) Chances are however that if you like those, you'll be blown away by the modern games that we adore. We don't have favourite games that get played every single week as we enjoy playing a wide variety of stuff...from quick 5 minute filler games to complex all-evening strategy games and everything in between. Worker placement, area control, deck building, hand management, take-that, tile placement, competitive or co-operative...we really do cater for most board game tastes. Don't worry if you don't know the rules. They will be run through at the start of the game. <br>

Any questions or worries? Just send us a message...we will happily answer any queries. We are a friendly bunch so don't be scared ... come and have some gaming fun!

Bedford Meetup Group

Bedford, A5

Bedford Meetup Group
Welcome to Bedford MeetUp Group! We are a social group and we welcome friends of all ages.  Emphasis is put on enjoying ourselves by getting out and about; laughing, dancing, listening to music, walking, eating and drinking etc, together.  We are not a singles dating site; we are a social group.  We do however realise that relationships develop from friendships. We want to host a variety of events, so please feel free to make suggestions.  If there’s something you’d like to do and we can at least find one other person to go with you, we consider it mission accomplished! Lifts and travel to events can be shared, so please don’t be afraid to ask.  Just post a comment on the event to see if anyone can help. This is a private arrangement between yourselves. Every Tuesday evening, we have a walk and a drink, in Bedford.  This is ideal for new members.  If you are nervous, about attending any event, please direct message Jane or Allan and we will chat with you and make sure you are welcomed and supported throughout the event.  You may also bring a friend to events, but you need to remember to add your friend, as a plus one, on the event page. **Membership** •      New members should pay £5 joining fee please, via PayPal to: janehmacdonald@gmail.com. This helps our community group pay annual fees to Meetup. * You will need an up-to-date photo of yourself to join the group.  This is so the hosts of the event are able to recognise you.  •      For events with restricted numbers, it is important that you don’t put your name down as attending, unless you are you are able to attend.  Likewise, if your circumstances change and you are no longer able to attend an event, please alter your attendance to ‘Not Going’ as soon as possible, so that another member can take your place. •      If you have a complaint about anyone in the group, please contact an organiser privately via direct message.  Anyone who cannot behave in an appropriate manner will be removed from the group.   The friendly, caring and welcoming culture of this group is very important to all of our members.
