Feel free to join us on any of our events to practice and improve your English, find friends or just talk to new people and interesting conversations. The Friend part of this group is very important (this is NOT a dating group), so it would be very much appreciated if members could be respectful of each others boundaries and not act in a manner that would put anyone off attending events. The group currently has a couple of regular events, and members are welcome to come up with different kind of activities or become event organisers themselves. Everybody is welcome!

Hey Everyone, This is a socialising (not dating) group for everyone in Bristol who roughly falls into the 30 to 55 age bracket. It's a fantastic way to meet new people in a safe environment. Most people who join fall into one of these categories: \- Just moved to Bristol\. \- Just split up with someone and realised that they need to make new friends\. \- Have lost their friends to children and other grown up things\. \- Feeling lonely and want some human connection\. We run medium to large events - pubs, walks and picnics. If you want to get to know people, then the daytime events are great. If you are more after a fun time, then the evening events are livelier. There will be plenty of new people at EVERY event, so you don't need to worry about being the odd one out. We will try to introduce you to people and we encourage every member to make other members feel as included as possible. If you ever get stuck on your own, come and talk to us. We want this to be a fun, happy and secure place for people to socialise and make new friends. If anyone is made to feel uncomfortable by a group member then please let us know asap and we will sort this out. Please note that we will not tolerate any behaviour that makes others feel uncomfortable, including unsolicited messaging, asking for photos etc. If we feel this is happening, you will unfortunately be removed and banned from the group.  We do require every member to have a profile photo that includes their face being visible (not the back of your head, not a view of a sunset, and not a cartoon). This is so that we can make sure we know who you are :) If you feel nervous or have any questions before attending an event, please message us and we will do our best to support you. We are well aware that many people suffer from social anxiety, especially after lockdown, and we are here to help! (Anthony is a life coach) We look forward to seeing you all soon and thank you all for being part of our Meet up Group :) K and Anthony x

Hi my name’s Jim, I’m vegan and have started this group to help support my animal rescue. I will shortly be taking many more animals on. Of course all the domestic animals will be with me for life. The wild rescues will also be with me for life, if they can’t be released into the wild. I’m a self employed gardener so the animal rescue is in addition to this. On average I will be charging £3 per meet to help with vet’s bills and care and of course pay Meetup fees. In a recent 3 week period, excluding food, I’ve paid out £440 in vet’s bills and medication etc and a few thousand previously, my choice of course but it’s getting much more difficult and of course the rescue animals will be continuing to need ongoing veterinary assistance. I’ve also had to pay approximately £4000 for large animal enclosures outside and in, so you can see how your support is needed and would be appreciated! I’m not a registered charity and don’t receive donations and will leave that to hopefully more deserving and needier charities but what I will and need to do is raise money by putting my effort into events. I’ve set up PayPal and this will be the only means of payment. Please reserve your place then make payment so you can attend as I won’t be taking cash payments at the events. Thank you! The group will be for vegetarians and vegans only and the events will be single’s nights, board gaming, BBQ, drinking, partying, walking and cycling etc. please join and come along and while doing so be aware how you’re helping the animals! Thank you! 🙂

Part of the original Lockdown Bumps and Babies community founded in March 2020, this group is an opportunity to meet for face to face hangs! Open to all parents and their offspring, members are welcome to organise local meet-ups; from a playground hang, picnic in a park or maybe even a soft play take over, the possibilities are endless! Please note most of the members are in the Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Islington neighbourhoods but please don’t be discouraged if you are further afield, all are welcome!

We are a diverse international community of 18-30 year olds with a shared love for food+drink, meeting new people and enjoying new experiences. This group is for you if you want to meet new people in Bristol and feel at home. Maybe you’ve just moved to Bristol? Maybe you’ve lived here for a while but just want to feel a bit more connected. Maybe you want to get out of your comfort zone, make new friends and try something new. There’s a place for you at the Table! We are 18-30 year olds, undergraduate, postgraduates, young professionals, studying/employed/unemployed - a friendly and welcoming community gathering around Tables all over the city. This group is hosted by Christians. You don’t have to be a Christian to come though! All faiths and backgrounds are welcome. We started this group because of our mutual love of meeting new people, learning about new cultures and helping people feel at home, away from home. Alongside our socials, meals, home gatherings, hikes, walks and activities, we host events with a spiritual focus where you can explore some of the deeper questions of life, meaning and faith. Look forward to seeing you soon! Check out what we’ve been up to in Manchester and Leeds @tablemcr on instagram. Love Paul and Bethanie

**Bristol's most active social group for young professionals!** Young and Restless is the greatest club for proactive young adults looking to meet new people and explore the city of Bristol. The group is for 18-35 year olds who want to get out there, make new friends, try something new and get the most out of their social life. Our activities cover everything from monthly pub crawls, [salsa dancing](https://www.salsasouls.co.uk/classes/), paintballing, badminton, hiking, meals out, cinema nights, live music and so much more. Also, we're happy to take on any suggestions you might have for an event. So if you are new to the area, or you've been "left behind" by uni friends, come along to a meetup. The small print **RSVP-ing**: Only RSVP if you can make it, and if you can no longer come, try to update your RSVP as soon as you can so people on the waitlist can fill your spot. **'Young'**: The group was founded for people in their 20s to meet new people, if you are 40+ and 'young at heart' you might find you have more in common with other groups. **Suggesting an Even**t: Anyone can now create an event, once 3 people have signed up to it or its backed by an organiser, it gets announced to the group. **Sponsorship:** If you would like to promote your business or event, email an organiser. **Fun:** We're all here to have fun and meet new people, however, rude and abusive individuals will be blocked. So far I've never done that and I'd like to keep it that way. Yours, Commander-in-Chief, Stellan.

A dead simple group. We choose a book for the next meeting and then meetup to discuss it over a drink. The books are important, but the getting together, discussing the book while making new friends is what it is really all about. While we normally meet in a pub to discuss a book, we will also shake it up from time to time by reading a book by for example a Turkish author and then meeting and discussing it over a meal in a Turkish restaurant. If a film is coming out at the cinema based on the book, we will read the book and discuss and then go to the cinema to see the filmed version and discuss how the book was interpreted. We will also do sessions when we come together just to discuss a book we have read away from the group and loved. It's not intellectual or highbrow and we will read books from all genres and from authors from around the world to challenge a normal reading habits. We try to read books that are not too long so that people who want to come to every meeting have time to read the book.  I don't charge for meetings, but will accept the occasional drink as thanks. It can seem daunting coming along to a meeting for the first time on your own. We have all experienced those feelings at our first meeting, not knowing what to expect. The meetup is called a Book Gang, but it's not that sort of gang. New people come along to every meeting. New faces and points of view are welcomed at every meeting. It is social and friendly, with the book a theme with which the evening revolves around, but with wider ideas and issues discussed. Rebels, book lovers, dreamers and those who love discussing interesting books, you are all welcome here. Why a 'Gang' and not a Book Club? Well Book Clubs are cosy, quaint places.. The Book Gang is meant to be a place where we read challenging titles, across different cultures and then come together to discuss it all. EVERYONE is welcome. Whether you're a fan of the classics (or however you define them) or whether you just fancy a good discussion around literature. The Bristol Book Gang is all about lively discussion and debate around books we're reading as a group as well as a social evening where you can meet new like minded people that share a common interest. I try and have two or three forthcoming meetings listed as some people need more time to plan ahead their reading and because not everyone can come to every meeting or fancy every book choice. Meetings will be held approximately every two to three weeks, so if you can't make one, a new meeting is not too far away.

Casual indoor Basketball for both men and women. Its not anything serious. So, don’t worry about your skill level. Even if you have never played basketball before, it could be a place to meet new people and have fun and learn about the game.
