Worcester County Sea Chanty & Folk Music Meetup

Worcester, MA

Hi there! Did anyone else out there see the meme of Stan Rogers singing Barrett’s Privateers with a bunch of friends over beers in somebody’s kitchen and think, “hell yeah, I’d do that!”? Well, I know I did. If you did too, let’s make it happen. That’s literally all I’ve got for now—hit me up and we’ll figure out the rest together.

Worcester Hangout 20s & 30s

Worcester, MA

Worcester Hangout is a 20s & 30s group in and around Worcester for those who like to go out, have fun, and meet new people! Please don’t request to join this group if you’re not in this age range. We’ll go to different restaurants, breweries/wineries, hit up fun places and activities (escape room anyone?) We also enjoy hikes so organizers may plan hikes as often as they can. If you no-show (without notice of cancellation) to more than 3 events, I reserve the right to remove you from this group. I also reserve the right to remove you from the group if you cancel more than 6 consecutive times. NOTE #1 I will not accept you into the group if your face is not visible in your profile picture. Your full name needs to be in your profile. NOTE #2 This group is not meant as a “dating group”for people who are looking for dates/relationships. This is a group for people who want to make friends. Unfortunately, this concern has been brought to my attention a number of times so I’m addressing it to everybody. There are plenty of dating Meetup groups out there; go sign up for those if that’s what you’re looking for. NOTE #3: This group is meant to be a means to get out there and meet new people! If you sign up to join this group, I expect you to attend at least 1 event within 6 months of joining. Otherwise, I reserve the right to remove you from the group.
