Didcot New In Town Meetup Group

Didcot, K2

Didcot New In Town Meetup Group
This group will have a mixture of social events and activities throughout each year. We will look for events in Didcot that we believe suit the Meetup culture, as well as do additional activities, such as pub quizzes. There will also be a monthly evening social event taking part in a pub in Didcot. **Questions and answers** **Who is this group for?** There is no set criteria to who this group is for. We have a mixture of people who are new to Didcot, as well as people ready to start finding a new friend cycle. Anyone is welcome. **What can I expect from the organisers?** Apart from setting events up, we attend for the same reasons as you - to connect and make friends! Whilst we do our best to make everyone feel welcome, please remember we are not a business and are attending to take part in the event organised just as much as you are. **What's the goals of this group?** We want members to find like minded people and develop their own social lives. The Meetup events organised are your opportunity to do this. Additionally, we have a WhatsApp Community, which we aim to grow and give members the opportunity to organise additional activities themselves! **How much does attending cost?** Unless there are tickets required for a public event, we never charge members who attend. However, despite being a group that does not aim to make a profit, we cannot hide from the fact it costs the group £200 per year to run. Because of this, we will ask for donations to fund this. However, we do not make this mandatory and the amount you donate (if anything) is completely optional. **Can I join the WhatsApp Community?** Members who attend regularly are welcome to join the community, as long as they agree to the policies of the group. Please speak to Kevin if you are interested in joining. **Group Rules** These are the policies in place for the group: **1) Be respectful of others.** You are going to meet a diverse range of people, so there are bound to be individuals you don't click with. Rather than make an argument with them, just accept you are different. **2) Make sure you correctly update your attending status.** Not knowing the correct number of attendees can have a negative impact on the event taking place. All it takes is a quick tap on your phone to update your status. **3) Do not turn up for events you have not signed up for.** This can potentially lead to difficulties in hosting an event. We don't want to find a member who shows up for pizza, but there is no space on the table! **4) Do not advertise your own activities in the group comments.** Whilst we are happy to see additional events, they must apply to the groups structure. If you want to advertise any of your events, contact Kevin. **5) Do not take control of events hosted.** The organisers already have a plan for the event they are hosting. To prevent any difficulties, respect what the organisers have set up for you. Members are welcome to organise additional activities once the event is over. **6) Appreciate what the organisers do.** Please remember that all the organisers in the group are hosting events on a voluntary basis. The events we host are for ourselves to enjoy as much as you. Anyone who does not apply to these rules is at risk of being removed from the group. © 2024 Oxford Social Events & Activities

Oxfordshire Social Walkers

Oxford, K2

Oxfordshire Social Walkers
Welcome to the group! This group is all about getting out of the house and meeting new friends doing various social activities. The group has members covering a wide range of ages, backgrounds and nationalities. Our core activities are 1. Walks in Oxfordshire and the border of the surrounding counties, usually no more than an hours drive from Oxford, sometimes ending with a pub lunch/drink whenever possible. Our walks normally range from 3-10 miles, mid week walks are approx. 3-5 miles as we like to get back before sunset. These health and fitness  walks will have an expected finish time on, we try to keep to approximately 2.5 miles to the hour but sometimes this can go over for reasons beyond our control. 2. We also have many other activities going on throughout the month such as pub nights, meals out, music and cinema events and days out. 3. Camping and Premier Inn type weekends or mini breaks 4. We welcome suggestions and happy to help put the event up for you if you can be the host? Whilst I recognise everyone's cost of living has increased over the last few months, weekend walks have been reduced to £2 per person, midweek walks and social events are £1. Camping weekends are approx. £3-5 per event and some events are free. We have a loyalty card scheme starting in 2021, after attending 4x£2 paid walks the 5th is free and the same applies to £1 walks and socials. So if this sound's like what you've been searching for, come along and give us a try. We encourage new members to come along to one of the mid-month pub nights to meet the organizers and other members old and new. I recommend downloading the App version on your mobile so you are up to date with events and have your email settings ON to receive email notifications from the Organisers- we email members re event updates which we know people have missed because the settings are set to off.  **Please note:** We are a relaxed group but we do expect our members to update their RSVP's as soon as possible if they are unable to attend an event to help organizers and other members who may wish to attend, and like many other similar meetup groups, we do operate a  2 "No Show" policy that will result in asking you to pay (if applicable ) and /or possible removal from the group. All the Organizers time is voluntary so please help us by ensuring you do your own planning for making it to an event on time and understanding what and where it is from the information provided on the event pages. I look forward to seeing you soon, Jo, Beth and Paul.
