Meet new friends groups near Marlborough, P8

INTRODUCTION

North Wiltshire Socials Meetup Group is now closed to new members and will no longer be organising events.

We have migrated to a new group, Everything Wiltshire.

Thanks for your interest.

Monthly book club in a nice pub to discuss the book selected by a different member each month. Usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening from 7-9ish. It's fun way to up your reading quota, gain new perspectives and meet new friends.
I've started this group as I'm new to the area (having recently moved from London), enjoy a good book and a glass of wine.

A group for people from all over the world, far and wide, who find themselves in good old Swindon town.

We'll be having social activities and meet-ups to make new friends and learn new perspectives ...maybe you're from another country or just visiting, maybe you've lived abroad (or dream of it), or maybe you just want to hang out with people with wide horizons. You're welcome.

The aim of the group is to make everyone feel welcome, and to bring people together, break down barriers, and have a great time doing it.

We'd love your suggestions of activities or places you'd like to meet, so drop me a line. The first meet-up is planned for January 2018 ...so I'm hoping we'll get some members by then!

Look forward to meeting you. Cheers!

A group for people under the age of 40 who want to undertake social activities which are either only possible or better as a group. 40 is not a rigid cap but is designed to show the kind of things this group is about and prevent it being dominated by an older generation like other social groups.

The plan is for this group to organise group social activities at least twice a month across both weekday evenings and weekends. The group will be a pay for what you participate in.
Please ensure you RSVP and pay for activities well in advance to allow things to be booked. Activities will NOT be booked until I receive sufficient funds from attendees. Please note a number of activities have minimum numbers and will be cancelled if this amount is not reached.

Meetups will be organised with sufficient notice to receive payment beforehand. Places will only be booked for those who have paid and no refunds offered unless someone else is willing to pay for the place.

Meetup charges for the running of such groups therefore in order to recoup these costs a small admin charge will be added to bookings however I hope to receive group discounts where possible. The price offered reflects this fee

Examples of such activities could be: <br>- Ten Pin Bowling <br>- Board Game evenings <br>- Crazy Golf <br>- Foot Golf <br>- Escape Rooms <br>- Pub Quizzes <br>- Stand up paddle boarding <br>- Paintball <br>- Airsoft <br>- Ice Skating <br>- Archery <br>- Beer Tasting/Brewery Tours <br>- Days Out <br>- Watching sports games <br>- Go Karting <br>- Laser Quest

Depending on interest in activities this could also involve trips out of Swindon or breaks away.

Couples and groups of friends are welcome as long as they are open to meeting new people. Please note this is NOT a singles or a party/clubbing group

After having such success with the Gloucester and Cheltenham meet-up, and down to popular demand from the community, we've set up a new technology group in Swindon.

This group is for anyone living or working in or around Swindon who would be interested in talks and events around modern technologies, cloud development and modern software practices.

If you're in the local area then it would be great to see you here. This group will hopefully provide a platform for the tech community to exchange ideas and keep up to date with the latest movements and shifts in software development.

So, if you enjoy technology and would like to socialise with fellow technologists, then please come along to one of our events.

We look forward to see you there!

Is there harmony between science and religion? Why do all these religions exist? Will we ever have peace? How does our approach to feminism play its part? What's the moral approach to wealth and success? How should governments be organised to be effective and fair?
These are questions that are central to the teachings of the Baha'i Faith, the newest world religion. Baha'is believe that there is one God, one mankind, and one eternal Faith which is repeated in different forms throughout the ages. Not many people can say they were alive to see the 200th anniversary (October 2017) of the birth of the Prophet Founder of an entire world religion. But you and I can.
If you would like to learn more in these exciting times, come along to the fortnightly Baha'i Basics evening. Alternate Mondays 7.30-8.30pm with nibbles. We'll have a short talk on a central Baha'i topic, followed by questions and free conversation.

Topics likely to come up over the next few sessions (happy to take suggestions):
The purpose of language in achieving prosperity
The Baha'i approach to wealth and poverty
The relationship between science and religion
The nature of the soul
Gender equality and feminism
The spiritual uniqueness of our adolescent years
Baha'i administration - a Faith with no clergy

Expect small numbers with a cosy and relaxed atmosphere :). Looking forward to meeting you!

Hello Hikers!

Welcome to our group.

We intend on leading walks around the South West area of the country; with predominant focus on the Gloucestershire area and often branching out within Wiltshire (primarily Swindon and Cirencester areas for evening walks) and the Cotswold (and other) areas for the more challenging day hikes.

Evening hikes will, typically, be between 4 and 8 miles.

Day hikes will, typically, be between 15 and 26 miles.

We may also investigate weekends away and foreign holidays.

We will try to put on walks with regular frequency, however, we are totally reliant on our volunteer leaders. If you would like to become a leader, please message one of the organisers.

When signing up to walks, please be mindful of your hiking ability as many walks will have to maintain an average pace of 3 mph to cover the distance within the allotted time. This will be re-emphasised on each event, dependent on the hike leader. Most walks will have an Ordnance Survey route attached to the event. Not all of our walks will have been pre-walked, therefore, slight deviations may be made.

We cannot accept any liability for any injuries caused whatsoever. Each member is responsible for their own health and safety. By becoming a member of this group, and by RSVP’ing, you are to take your own responsibility on each hike.

We organise walks as a group of friends.

We are not a profit-making group.

*******************************************************************************************

**A Meetup fee contribution of £5 is required before being accepted to the group.

Our walks start on time; please be mindful of this and be “walk ready” for the start time of the walk. We cannot be expected to wait for any late arrivals. To assist with this, always look at the Meetup pin which takes you to the exact starting point.

Always come prepared for the forecasted weather as our walks are unlikely to be cancelled unless there are exceptional conditions. Always check the Meetup event comments section before setting off – any alterations will be advertised at least 5hrs before the event start time where possible!

We are following Covid-19 guidelines, in-line with government policy. As group sizes are restricted, “no shows” will be removed from the group on their second “no show”. No exceptions.

Usually well behaved dogs are welcomed on most walks but check with the leader first. Also dogs are the responsibility of the owner and the walk leader is not liable for any damage caused by dogs.

We look forward to hiking with you!
