The Friend Zone

Glasgow, V2

Welcome to the group. This is a new group designed to help people get out of the house, socialise with new people and build long lasting relationships. We're all about encouraging the best in people, building confidence and bringing each other out of our comfort zones within a fun, relaxed and supportive environment. In terms of the events themselves these will vary greatly. One week you could be in a bar or restaurant, the next on a day trip somewhere or taking part in a new activity or experience. The common theme though is whether we are just socialising, out on a trip or doing something competitive together we are all having fun and enjoying each other's company. The group will be member led in the sense that it is your group and we want to hear what you want to do. So if you have an idea for an event, let us know. If you have a suggestion or idea, feel free to say. And If you even want to get involved in organising events yourself, just ask. I hope we can create a good community of people together.

Fab-Friends (Glasgow Socialisers)

Glasgow, V2

Our group has a wide age group so whether you're 25 or 65 or feel like a 65yr old or 25yr old, WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU. Singles, couples and friends are more than welcome to join any of our Meetups. So if you're looking for a fun packed night out with friendly hosts and members then look no further than Fab Friends (Glasgow Socialisers). From the many snazzy pubs, bars in the Cul-De-Sacs of Glasgow's West End, to the trendy bars of Glasgow's City Centre & Merchant City, even the odd GBX Night At The Savoy, or a Ceilidh Nite @The Avant Garde thrown in. We guarantee a brilliant night out..... So come and join in the fun! Please feel free to suggest any Meetup that you, or any of our members might be interested in for future events. One of the event organisers will gladly host this subject to availability, or if you wish, make you event host for that evening. Our group is free to join, and everyone is welcome, our meets are free to attend with exceptions, (you may be responsible to purchase your own ticket(s) to some meets, such as weekend breaks, some tribute nights, days away, etc). Please only RSVP for a event if you can make it, otherwise change you status accordingly. No shows will be marked as such and repeated no shows will be reviewed. Hosts spend time looking out for, waiting for, and welcoming members to events. It's unacceptable to simply not turn up. No reason is required if you can longer attend, simply cancel your RSVP, hosts or organisers will not cancel RSVPs on your behalf so you may be marked as a no show even if you have commented otherwise. Group Rules & Meetup T & Cs Members who are inactive for a period of time may be removed - this way we encourage an active group. Do not send unsolicited messages or emails to any of the members in the group without meeting them in person first, and only then with their permission - this is not a singles group although many members are. We are NOT a dating group or singles group (plenty of other websites out there for that)..... Organisers and event hosts are not responsible for the behaviour and conduct of group members. Group organisers will however try to mediate, if possible, for any issues that have arisen at an official group Meetup event within the times listed for the event. Members may be removed temporarily or permanently at organisers discretion.

New Life Club For Widows and Widowers

Kirkintilloch, V8

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to look at our group! The group is aimed at over 50’s who, due to circumstances, need to re-start their social life. We understand how difficult this can be and we aim to offer a safe and friendly environment for social gatherings, outings and events.

We aim to meet regularly which will allow friendships to develop within the group. We hope to host a variety of meet ups which we will hold during daytime, evening and weekends. We will include a range of activities from informal meets for coffee/drinks, lunches, evening dinner, theatre, casual walking and more as the group and ideas evolve.

We plan to keep our membership at around 30 so we can remain a small friendly group. If you do not plan to attend our meetings please do not join as we have a waiting list. Anyone who, after joining, does not attend a meet up in the first two to three months will have their membership removed so that people from the waiting list can join.

Existing members will pay £10 a year every January. New members will pay £10 on the month they join, and then pay £10 every January. This money will be used to pay site fees and place deposits for restaurant bookings etc. Any remaining money in the group’s account will be put towards a Christmas night out.

Glasgow Culture For The Uncultured

Glasgow, V2

We are really lucky to have lots of great cultural places to explore in Glasgow and indeed Scotland. Theatre, concerts, art exhibitions, cinema, book groups. These are all things I have an interest in without necessarily having any knowledge about them. So come and be as cultured or as uncultured as you like. It's nice to be able to try these things without feeling pressured to have an opinion or judged on your opinion. After all if we all thought the same thing there would be no such thing as art!

It's also nice to talk about events before and after over a coffee or a glass of wine and meet new friends!

Glasgow, Let's Eat!

Glasgow, V2

This group is for anyone who is keen to try some of the fantastic bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes, coffee shops and pop-up markets in Glasgow. We're quite new to the city and everyday you find something you fancy trying, so we thought we'd start this group and see if anyone wanted to come along too. Although it's food-based and about dining out, there might also be some drinks events, club nights and music gigs added as well.

The focus is on meeting new people, making new friends and having a great time - not about being a "foodie" :-)

Glasgow & Edinburgh Hidden Walks Meetup Group

Glasgow, V2

I am the author of 'hidden walk' books covering London, Edinburgh and New York and other books such as 'Secret Glasgow' and 'Tribes of Glasgow') (see my website ***stephenmillarwalks.com*** for full details). I set the group so people could tag along as I researched a new Glasgow walking guide, but as that is largely done I have kept the group going as it is great fun to try out experimential walks in Glasgow and Edinburgh. The group is also a fantastic way for people to meet new friends and explore parts of cities that people may otherwise never have a reason to visit. Walks normally take place monthly at weekends and look at interesting/hidden features (e.g film locations, old railway tunnels, site of demolished shipyards, houses haunted by ghosts. masonic symbols etc...). I also encourage 'guest' walk leaders so if you know someone who has a particular expertise and may be willing to share it on a walk, pls let me know. Best wishes Stephen Millar
