New England Dog Friendly Day Trips, Getaways, Gatherings

Hudson, MA

New England Dog Friendly Day Trips, Getaways, Gatherings

Please read this entire page prior to joining New England Dog Friendly Day Trips, Getaways, Gatherings.


This group is for dog lovers who would like:

- Weekend getaways with your dog

-Attending day trips that are dog friendly

- Exploring New England with your furry friend

-Socializing with others that love their dog

-Participating in fun dog friendly events

 -Or just spend an afternoon together


If you are like me, your dog is a very important part of your life.

I love to be outdoors and exploring new places, but most meetups that I belong to don't offer a lot of dog friendly excursions. Through my research I have found many great places to go, events to attend, and overnight getaways to participate in with my faithful companion. Join us on some of these adventures!

Only well behaved, socialized dogs and their humans are welcome to join. If you like the company of dogs ( and their humans) and don't have a dog in your life at the moment, you are welcome to join us as well.

Please post a current photo of you, or you and your dog, so that we can recognize you at an event!

If you are a no-show on 2 or more events, you will be removed from the group. Simply update your RSVP if you cannot attend, so that someone else can attend. A no-show is when you do not attend an event that you RSVP'd yes for, and do not change your RSVP to indicate that you will not attend.

Rules:

1)If you choose to let your dog(s) off-leash, you are responsible for the dog's actions according to the terms of the Liability Waiver. You also agree to be responsible for any fines that may be incurred due to a breach of rules of the organization owning or responsible for the meetup location.

2) Dogs are expected to be well behaved and under owner control at all times. This group is for well socialized dogs only! We are not the venue for dogs that are learning how to socialize! The Meetup organizer reserves the right to remove or limit participation of members in any event due to a members inability to control their dogs behavior, including excessive barking, making others in the group feel uncomfortable in any way, aggressive behavior, or any behavior that exhibits lack of control of the dog, or causes another dog to feel unsafe.

If your dog barks excessively, any restaurant  event may not be appropriate for your dog. Let's face it! All dogs will bark! Barking within reason is expected!  Excessive barking is when your dog continues to bark and will not stop even when you use a voice command to attempt to stop his/her barking. Please be prepared to remove your dog from the event, if you cannot control his/her barking. It is not fair to other patrons of the establishment who are trying to enjoy the venue as well. We want to be invited back to a chosen venue, and do not want to jeopardize that in any way!

If your dog has an incident of aggressive behavior, causes other dogs or people in the group to feel uncomfortable in an way, you will be removed from the group.

3) You agree to take personal and financial responsibility for any damages to property, people or other dog(s) caused by your dog(s) or any dog(s) you have brought to the meetup.


4) By becoming a member of this group, you are confirming that your dog does not have any history of behavioral issues or aggressiveness.

5) Dogs must be leashed at all times. Retractable leashes,shock collars, choke collars are not allowed. Any type of restraining collar is not permitted. If your dog needs a shock collar or choke collar, this group is not for you and your dog. Off leash walks are not encouraged.

6) This meetup is about having fun and meeting new friends. Please be kind and respectful of others at all times. I am not responsible for the actions of others, and cannot be held responsible for members actions. Any complaint about an individual will result in removal from the group.

7) Please understand that this is a public meetup group. We take lots of photos and add them to the Meetup site. Please let us know in advance if you do not want to be photographed.

8) No solicitations, advertisements, postings of items for sale, or promotions of any kind are allowed by members without the consent of the organizer. Members in violation will be removed.

9) In order to participate in any overnight trip, you must be current with member dues, and have attended 2-3 day trips prior to the overnight trip.

10) Please be respectful and pick up after your dog at all times.

11) Your dog must be over 2 years old to participate in events.

12) By joining this group, you are confirming that your dog is up to date on all shots and or titers, is healthy, and is spayed/neutered.

Liability Release - In order to join and or participate in this meetup group, you agree  :  to hold harmless the organizer and her heirs, and all members and participants of this Meetup group and their heirs, from any and all claims of injury, illness, death, and/or property damage including those caused by negligence, ignorance, inexperience and or any other reasons.

North Central MA-Southern NH Hiking Group

Leominster, MA

North Central MA-Southern NH Hiking Group
*PLEASE READ - TO ALL MEMBERS: For safety reasons, your profile should have a clear and current photo of your human self (face) so that event hosts can recognize you when you arrive at an event. If it does not, your profile will get deleted.* *Also note that if your profile indicates that you have remained inactive (meaning, not attending an event) for a period of six (6) months, your profile will be removed from this group. So sign up and attend an event soon!* With that stuff out of the way, welcome to a very active and social MeetUp group!! Here you will find local people who are interested in hiking (in all seasons) and other activities for fun and fitness. We also cycle (on and off road), snowshoe, kayak, and cross country ski. We explore urban areas (large and small), visit museums, meet for dinner, go dancing, hear live music, and take in a movie once in a while. This group is a lot of fun, friendly, and always open to new ideas for meetups and new places to explore. We consider the regions originally intended, which are north central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, but we venture out now and then to lands beyond our region. The difficulty of this group's hikes is normally set by the event host(s) to allow the maximum amount of participation for the maximum amount of members. Generally, a moderate pace of approximately 2 mph should be expected on most hikes. When hikes are planned that are more difficult, such as Mount Monadnock, the description of the meet-up will include this fact. Our goal is to enjoy the outdoors while meeting people interested in the same - not to conquer the mountains. Our hikes are also paced to keep everyone in the group more or less together throughout the entire hike. Weather is obviously a major factor in any of our hikes. We try not to cancel meet-ups for light rain - we are outdoors after all. However, in the case of heavy rain and/or lightning, we'll try to cancel at least 24 hours ahead of time. The best advice is to check your email the morning of a meet-up for any cancellations. ***Please consider contributing to help support this wonderful group. Funds are used to offset the yearly dues for this MeetUp group. You can send a check, made payable to "MeetUp," to Tamara Huston, 182 Middle Street, Leominster, MA 01453.*** **A note about conduct**: We are a group of like-minded people who enjoy getting together (for hiking mostly). Although members often develop friendships (and sometimes relationships) outside of the group, Meetup.com and the North Central MA/Southern NH Hiking group are not designed primarily to encourage dating or unwanted romantic attention. It's very important that all members of the group feel welcome on all of our events (not just the hikes). So please, respect the boundaries of your fellow adventurers. It's appropriate to contact someone through the Meetup site, or through email or phone, information that the member has given you, but encroaching beyond a person's comfort level is inappropriate. People who cross the line after being warned will be excluded from the group. *You do not need to RSVP "no" to an event unless you are changing your rsvp from a "yes" to a "no."* *Anyone soliciting products or services through this group without the organizers' permission will be removed from the group immediately. To discourage this kind of behavior, I ask that group members do not buy any products or services from anyone trying to sell them through this group or this website.* If you have any questions or concerns about this MeetUp group, please contact any of the event organizers listed in the left hand column of the webpage. Thank you, Tamara Meetup has changed our email address to: [north-central-ma-southern-nh-hiking-group-announce@messages.meetup.com](mailto:north-central-ma-southern-nh-hiking-group-announce@messages.meetup.com) == Legal Stuff === While event hosts attempt to plan events that will work for everyone and will try to anticipate and head off problems, you should not participate in hiking events if you would not be able to safely complete the described hike on your own. For all group hikes, think of your meetup organizer as fulfilling a social function in getting like minded people together. Please always review the event descriptions carefully. Learning about the terrain, conditions, local weather and your equipment before you start *is your responsibility*. Any attempts to increase the comfort and safety of events should not lead you to believe that event hosts are taking responsibility for your safety. By signing up for events, you are indicating that you are an adult who has the skills and ability to safely complete the described hike. Do not RSVP yes if this is not the case, as we will be relying on your judgment of your skills and ability. To read more about hiking safety, check out hikeSafe.com. By RSVPing "yes" to one of our events, North Central MA-Southern NH Group members and their guests agree to release, hold harmless, and indemnify the event organizer(s) and all members participating in the event from any and all claims for property damage, injury, and/or death while attending events. In consideration for accepting this entry, I, the registrant, intending to be legally bound, hereby, for myself, my heirs, my executors and administrators, do waive and release any and all rights for damages I may have against any parties or persons connected with the North Central MA-Southern NH Group for and related to any event which I attend. I attest and verify that I (and any guest(s) I bring) are physically fit to participate, and that I assume all risks associated with the events I or my guest(s) voluntary attend. I grant North Central MA-Southern NH Group permission to use any photographs, film or videotapes of all events for any purpose. As always, be safe and have fun.

Surround Sound - Something to Sing About in Central Mass
Surround Sound encourages all women to find their voices as choral/quartet performers and as individuals through the development of their vocal abilities in a friendly group setting.

Come and make new friends, have fun, revel in the sound of four-part harmony and let your voice soar!  There is some cost to being a part of our group, just as there is a cost to going out to dinner and a movie in some other groups.  We strive to make it affordable to everyone who wants to participate. *Please note: We are asked to perform at local events quite often. It is always best to check here for location of meetings/events. You can also contact the group coordinator to confirm where we will be on any given Monday night.*
