Welcome to our Make New Friends Meetup group! Whether you're new in town or a longtime local, we invite you to join us for a variety of fun activities and expand your social circle.

A few things to mention: \*\*This is NOT a dating group.

We love new ideas! We look forward to meeting you! Join us today.

We are a fun group. You can find us dancing away after a meal of Chinese at Chopsticks. We do some hiking, karaoke, live music, local community gatherings, line dancing lessons and more. We are open to trying new things. We have a book club, a trivia night, and various other events to keep up young! This goal of this group is to meet new friends and have fun. If you are interested in someone romantically, send them a DM and date them outside of the group. Nobody should feel uncomfortable at an event. To be in this group, you must be able to commit to respecting all people in the group, and be open and welcoming to our members. In our group, we do not discuss politics or other contentious topics as we are among mixed company. You should ONLY sign up for events you plan to attend and if you have a pattern of signing up and cancelling at the last minute, the leadership team will bring that to your attention. You are allowed one "freebee" no-show. You will receive a warning. If you are a no-show again, you will be removed from the group without a refund on dues. This is the only way to try to provide as much fair opportunity to attend events. Come hang out with us! We're cool! :) Chrissy and Lisa \*\*IMPORTANT\*\*\* For the safety of our members, you must have an accurate and clear photo of yourself as your profile picture. Any member who joins without a photo representative of themselves will be removed within 24 hours. Thank you for helping to ensure the safety and well-being of all here.

Are you passionate about board games and eager to connect with others who share your love for tabletop adventures? Join the Dragon's Leyr Board Gaming Group, where we aim to create a welcoming community of board gamers of all experience levels! Our goal is to bring together board game enthusiasts from all walks of life. Whether you are a seasoned strategist, a casual player, or someone new to the world of board games, there's a place for you here. We believe that board games are a great way to socialize, make new friends, and enjoy some friendly competition. Our Events: From classic gaming to new favorites, each event offers a mix of games to suit all sorts of different tastes. Sometimes we will have themed events such as "Everything Catan" where we'll explore different expansions, alternative rules, alternative versions of the game, and the classic base game. Other times, we'll host tournament-style events with specially picked prizes up for grabs! Campaign-Style Board Games: For those who enjoy a more immersive experience, we're also offering opportunities to sign up for campaign-style board games such as Bloodborne the Board Game and Dark Souls the Board game. These games will take several meetings to complete, allowing players to dive deep into rich narratives and long-term strategies. It's a great way to bond with other members over a shared gaming journey! Future Plans: As our community grows, we're planning to organize bigger events, including tournaments with hand-picked grand prizes, themed events featuring cosplay, themed snacks, and decorations and much much more to come! Your participation and enthusiasm will help shape the future of our group, and we can't wait to see where this adventure takes us!

People interested in learning or who are active wood carvers should stop by. We meet in the area three times a week. If you are new to carving or wish to learn, we will help you get started. You do not need to bring anything to the first meetings, we will lend you tools and some wood. After that, you can be well set in this hobby for just over $100. Current members (about 25) range in skills from brand new to some of the best carvers in the world. We meet at the Westminster Senior Center, 69 West Main Street (just off route 2) Tuesday evenings from 5 pm to 8 pm and from 9 am until noon on Thursdays. We are at the Gardner Senior Center, Pleasant Street, from 9 to noon Tuesday mornings. Email Jan@newc.org.

This group is for AA members and their supporters who enjoy walking their furry friends together. Whether you're looking for some exercise, fresh air, or just some quality time with your pup, this group is the perfect place to meet like-minded individuals. Let's come together, support each other's sobriety journey, and enjoy the companionship of our loyal canine companions. All breeds and all levels of walkers are welcome. Join us for regular dog walks in the beautiful outdoors and let's have fun while promoting a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

*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.

People of color hike too, right??? I’m looking to see if we can get a group of us together to hike! I’m a fairly new hiker - I started during the shelter-in-place and really got into it. I’ve met some great people in these groups, but I’m almost always the only person of color. Can anyone relate? Then join me! Suggest your favorite places to hike! Become an event organizer for the group! I am a mother, so I’m open to doing family hikes if there’s an interest. Once you join, say hi! Share your heritage! What town/city do you live in?
