Welcome to our Douglasville Texas Hold' em Meetup Group! We're looking to host a small group of 7 to play Texas Hold 'em once a month. Friendly competition with a chance to meet new friends in the neighborhood.

This group is for you to get fit, more healthy, make friends while walking.

My name is Marigold. I started a local walking group to keep active and fit. I realized others could benefit from this so decided to share with more people that is how this group got started.

Walking for Fitness and Fun is for you if you want to keep fit, meet new friends and get the support of others to keep going with your fitness objectives.

Walking for Fitness and Fun is for different fitness levels. It's for you if you're interested in the outdoors, exercise, meeting new people, reconnecting with nature and having fun.

Our walks and hikes are in the metro Atlanta area particularly in the West, North West and South West areas.

To keep things simple you are responsible for your own health and safety and not the organizers or event hosts.

We walk as a group for approximately 1 to 2 hours which can be 1-5 miles in distance depending on the terrain e.g. parks or nature trails.

Please wear good walking shoes, and drink water before and after walks. You might also like to bring with you a light weight backpack, a facecloth or small towel (for warm days) and a bottle of water.


Feel free to invite friends and family on walks. Please update your RSVPs if your plans change as we have a two 'no shows' policy.

Looking forward to having you join us on some fun walks.

'Beginning is half the battle won'

**Gays & Board Games!**  Want to meet new LGBT+ friends and allies while having a great time? As a kind of an "anti" social media movement, people are getting off their phones and meeting new friends to escape for a few hours playing board games! Gaming has come a long way since Monopoly and we’ll play the latest and greatest games (there are great ones coming out every month), and meet “the locals.” We currently meet on the 2nd Saturday of the month at 6:30 pm at Olympus Cards and Games in Villa Rica Please tell your friends - the more the merrier. Members are welcome to arrive at any time (even a little early), as there often will be multiple games played during the night. This is YOUR group so please input and help us build it. Can’t wait to meet you guys. House rules: No politics or religion! Don't be drunk or too high. Please limit the use of smartphones if possible! This is about connecting with people in person - be present. Also, find us on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/westsidegaymers/).

Welcome ladies! This group is a safe place for women to talk, dine out, meet up, socialize, travel and make new friends.

This Women's Self Empowerment Group is about gathering to inspire one another on our journey to living our highest potential. Here we’ll exchange ideas on how to create more contentment in the present moment, how to appreciate and learn from our pasts, and how to manifest our visions for a bright and abundant future that we know we deserve. This group is about loving ourselves so we can also love and lift others to their highest selves. Self-empowerment is self-awareness, understanding yourself and how you are likely to respond to situations positively instead of reacting. This group is non-denominational and not tied to a religion or dogma. Anyone who is inspired to attend is welcome, no matter who you are or where you’re from. The only requirement is that you come open and willing to support others in their development — and we’ll do the same for you. We invite you to join, make new friends and have fun sharing and inspiring one another in the spirit of sisterhood. Much love and light.

Westside Runners (Douglas, Paulding, Cobb): Trails, Roads, and Post-Run Pizza! Welcome to Westside Runners—a no frills group for those looking to make new friends and log some miles. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or someone who only runs when being chased, you're welcome here. We embrace all paces, from the gazelles to the "I'll get there when I get there" crowd. Our Schedule? Wednesday evenings we now alternate between Skint Chestnut Brewery and Downtown Douglasville. Saturdays we alternate between Sweetwater Creek State Park and Silver Comet Trail at Linear Park Wednesdays @ Skint Chestnut Brewery in Powder Springs: Meet at 6:30pm for a 1 hr run along the Silver Comet Trail. Social hour afterwards at the brewery. Bring your own food or grab a snack at the adjacent restaurant, SGC Chicken and Seafood. Wednesdays @ Downtown Douglasville: Two start times for twice the fun! For those who want a little extra mileage, we kick things off at 6:00 PM from the fountain in downtown Douglasville (free parking in the parking deck). Then, we circle back to the fountain at 6:30 PM for a solid 3.5 mile run around downtown. All skill levels are welcome at either start time, and the real reward comes afterward—pizza at Fabiano's! Because we believe the best way to refuel is with carbs and laughter. Saturdays at 8:00 AM: Mornings are for adventure! We'll alternate between the scenic Silver Comet Trail in Powder Springs and the natural beauty of Sweetwater Creek State Park in Lithia Springs. So, whether you like your trails paved or rugged, we’ve got you covered. Silver Comet Linear Park location has free parking and Sweetwater State park has a $5 entrance fee. Why Join Us?
 Because running is more fun with friends, and we promise our group is more fun than most! Here, you’ll find laughs, encouragement, and maybe even some questionable advice on whether that new energy gel is actually edible. So, lace up those shoes, bring your best bad jokes, and join us for some miles, smiles, and of course—pizza! See you on the trail or road!

I LOVE TO TRAVEL! After years of planning trips with friends and families or going solo on some events, I decided to form a travel group, because that is what I love to do “TRAVEL”, and who better to form a travel group than someone who REALLY loves to travel. Besides, Life is too short not to meet NEW people, do something
DIFFERENT and have FUN . This group will expose you to so many things you may
have never known existed. There are all kinds of festivals and events around the US and around the world that many of you might have thought about going, but may have been apprehensive about traveling by yourself, or just didn't know how to put together a fulfilling trip that highlighted most of the areas noteworthy places. I hope through this group that everyone gets to travel to at least some place or event that they always desired to visit. This group is open to singles, couples,  boomers as long as you love to travel and have fun.

This group commits to traveling at least 2 major destinations annually. These travels could be Tours, Cruises, or Events. There will be at least one International travel and one Domestic travel. There will also be day trips, festivals, wine tasting, and quick 3-4 day get-a-way weekend trips that may be added as well. So, if you love to travel but can never get your family and friends to commit to travel, then this is the group for you. Come Travel with Us. It is free to join the group

Many of our meetings are social events, but ALL of our meetings are solely for the birds, meaning that your healthy, clipped or harnessed well-mannered feathered kids are welcome to accompany you to the meetings!

**\*\*THIS GROUP is for the girlies that love to read a good psychological thriller, true crime or fiction novel ONLY.\*\*** Hi! My name is Lexy, I’m a fairly new mom, wife of 6 years, and I love to read a good book! You can usually catch me around the house listening to a true crime documentary or podcast in the background- any day of the week! Just as the name of the group Implies… Once a month we would love to get together for a cup of coffee, good convos (let’s be friends!!) and a group discussion on our latest read. Whether it’s work, family or just life- we all need an outlet that we can enjoy! Currently there are 4 of us girlfriends who are reading “Verity” By Colleen Hoover. If you haven’t already, check it out and let me know if there’s one of her books you may be interested in reading. 😊

Born in a time of COVID-19/ Coronavirus, we're a group of beginner fishermen, fisherwomen and anglers desiring to get outside in a way that we learn from each other while having fun outdoors and doing something where we can respect our distance naturally while developing ourselves collectively.  Experienced anglers are welcome as well, too.  We would love to learn from you, and you know how good it is to teach a man or woman to fish.  It's way better and much more satisfying than giving him or her one; you're teaching and learning self-reliance.

There's no need to be an expert in anything; we're not out to compete. Just join up and learn from each other and build friendships online and outdoors. For the outdoors part, you'll need your rod, real and tackle, and a Georgia fishing license. You can get them for $15 from Walmart or Bass Pro Shops, etc. (Georgia Residents). No training needed.

Remember to bring your masks (balaclavas work well too!). Let's have fun and learn how to harvest some fish!  Kayaks, canoes, etc., they're welcome too!.

Welcome to the Next Chapter Travel and Social Group. A group that embraces each day as a new chapter, a new opportunity, a change for a new you.

Chapter One "2020"
Let's Start our new year by being purposeful and celebrating who we are. This group is for us and by us and encourages great energy, support and solid connections. For us by us because everyone will have input in our events.

The vision for this group is to bring mature (over 40), positive adults together that want to connect and get out occasionally. Traveling, card parties, dinners, concerts, plays, bowling, volunteering, networking, potlucks etc,,,,,

Some ideas already brewing:
1st meet and greet will be 1/25. More details to come.
Traveling: Short weekend trips, shopping trips, cruises, international trips.
*We are not travel agents, but we have connections to get great deals*
Game Night: Get togethers for card games, bowling nights, Top Golf.
Dinner: We'll meet occasionally for dinner, or make our favorite dishes and potluck.
Fitness: Walking/Running groups, support and accountability partners.

So here is where your ideas will be added.

Hello Hello Geeks and Gamers! We are working on getting the group functioning again and transitioned to new leadership. Stay tuned for new events! New members welcome! We will be organizing board gaming events in person and some online. We will also be working on organizing other events as well.

Hello fellow metro-Atlantans! This group is for those who want to get out and enjoy nature, some always good for you exercise, and meeting new people & making new friends. This is a no pressure group, aiming to organize weekend hikes to various locations around the metro area. Must be dog friendly, LGBTQ-friendly, and ready to go for a hike! We welcome all who want to join. We only ask that these simple rules are followed.

1. Respect Boundaries.
2. Respect Pronouns.
3. Respect Others Pets- if you bring your dog and they become aggressive towards other dogs, please be respectful of the group and walk away from the triggering dogs. We won't ask you to leave unless you don't control your dogs behavior and actions.
4. Respect Others Beliefs- the preference is no political or religious talk, but seeing as we are all adults, if there is a disagreement, the rule is agree to disagree and change the subject. Lets make this a fun walk, not an uncomfortable debate.
5. Follow Whil Wheatons Law. If you want to know what it is... Google it.
