Yorkshire Climbers

Leeds, 45

Yorkshire Climbers
We are a group based in West Yorkshire, for people who want to climb or have days out in the hills and mountains. The group has being going for 12yrs (as of Jan 22). We are a very busy, friendly group with a small core of enthusiastic, committed and experienced climbers. When the weather allows meet weekly to climb outdoors (mainly 'Trad' but some 'sport') alongside regular bouldering meets, during the summer months and as often as the weather allows during the winter. We also meet at least weekly indoors at climbing walls (mainly Big Depot on Thursdays, further afield Harrogate, Sheffield etc on Sundays). During the summer months we have several residential meets in the Lakes and Snowdonia, staying in YHAs, bunkbarns or camping, and now have a 'Winter Escape' trip to Spain. We are also giving some thought to walks, social events and more European climbing destinations. **We need to make it clear that, whilst some of us have years of experience, we are not instructors or professionally qualified to teach climbing and we are not responsible for teaching new climbers to belay etc.** **If you are new to climbing:** please join us when you have completed the wall's induction programmes: for boulderers this is generally basic instruction, for lead climbing you will need to have completed a relevant course in top rope belaying and lead belaying **Climbers:** those who are already competent and can sign themselves in can come along to any event. **Membership:** £10 for the year to cover the meetup costs. We ask you to pay once you start climbing with us on a regular basis. We have a number of spare harnesses,pairs of shoes, helmets and belay devices which we can lend out (please let us know before the meeting whether you need to borrow anything. Alternatively, equipment can be hired at climbing walls. Additionally, before joining us you should read the BMC participation statement which states: "The BMC recognize that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement." If you do not accept full responsibility for for your own actions and involvement in any outdoor activities please do not join this group, Yorkshire Climbers cannot accept responsibility for the actions of its members and advises everyone to get adequate insurance for the activities they want to take part in, Insurance details can be found on the BMC site. So, if you think this is for you, come along and experience the fun of climbing!!!

Leeds, 45

Walks & Weekends Away,         (fka Leeds YHA Walking Group)
**Hello there!** We are a friendly group of people who enjoy walking and outdoor activities. People leading walks for the group are not qualified walk leaders or do not have any outdoor qualifications. People joining our walks do so at their own risks. **How do I meet the Group?** It is best to contact the events organiser and let them know that you intend to attend a walk/event. You can then sign up for the walk/event on the meetup site. This lets the walk leader know how many people to expect on the walk/event and this allows them to plan accordingly. You can also contact one of the committee members identified as contacts on the front cover. **Is there a membership fee?** Yes, but you are welcome to try one walk before being asked to join. There is no charge for individual walks. The subscription is currently £5 per year. You can contact John Freeman, our treasurer, through the meetup site and arrange payment. Alternatively you can speak to a committee member. Please note that we are charged by the number of members we have in our group so if you do not attend an event within 12 months you will be removed from our meetup always with the option to rejoin at any point. **Do I also need to be a member of the national YHA?** No, you do not need to be a member of the national YHA . When we stay in a YHA hostel on our weekends away it is sufficient for one person in the group to be a national YHA member. You may however be asked to show ID when you stay at a a YHA hostel. **How do I get to events?** We encourage car sharing. Use the meetup site to book onto the walk and you can also request a lift or offer to car share. **Who runs Leeds YHA Walking Group?** An elected committee co-ordinates the group’s activities which are then run by individual members. All members are actively encouraged to lead walks and to organise events. **Tuesday evenings:** Walks and social events are organised on Tuesday evenings usually starting at 7.30 pm. **Weekends away:** These usually involve Friday and Saturday nights at either a YHA or an independent hostel with walks, occasional cycle rides or other outdoor/social activities organised on the Saturday and Sunday. You do need to be a fully paid up member of the group to attend a weekend away. **Weekend day walks/cycle rides:** Unless otherwise stated we start at 10.30am. We stop for refreshments on the walk so please bring a packed lunch & drink.

Greater Social Life Union of Bradford

Bradford, 45

Greater Social Life Union of Bradford

The Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

There are many steps on your journey to greater social life. Here are the first steps for members of GSLU. After reading the rest of this introduction, you should read the 2021 book The Guide to Thumoslang. Many of our members put this new knowledge into practice as suggested by The GSLU Handbook.

When you spend more time in damage control mode and less time benefiting from your various relations, you waste a great deal of effort in your social life. Such a cost of opportunity keeps you from going at high speed towards your ideals, in creating your ideal self, and in actualizing what you truly want to become. This is likely due to a lack of social clarity, which is essential for internal conversations and vital for meaningful relationships.

Unintentionally created in 2017, accidentally discovered in 2018, and first taught in 2019, Thumoslang is the nomenclature for social clarity. It is used as a language for faster communication, be it in complex collaboration or difficult conversation. The first widespread use of social clarity has been predicted by Thumoslang pioneers to be just as important as the first widespread control of fire. All is explained by The Guide to Thumoslang, which is backed by The Dictionary of Thumoslang.

Again, the Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

Your ideals are the same as your ideal self, which means what you truly want to become. "Everything else is secondary," said Steve Jobs. Our group activities involve you with the first practical steps in the further development of your ideals, in keeping others from interfering with your life, and in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals. To be sure, if you lack social clarity in your internal conversations, face unwanted drama too often, are not sure of your social life or your path into the future, or have no friends and no groups available on a regular basis to help create your ideal self, this group is for you.

*** MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS ***

Our group activities bring you the following benefits:

Benefit 1 - Mastery of Relationships

As new GSLU members participate in the union's activities, they will quickly find themselves having noticeable enhancements in their social lives. The further they participate in GSLU activities, the faster they naturally acquire the mastery of relationships.

Benefit 2 - Best Friends for Your Ideals

Our group activities include practical steps in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals.

Benefit 3 - Internal Dialogues More Effective

Thumoslang is a set of terminology whose use is intended to benefit one's clarity in social situations. Consequently, Thumoslang allows you to have clearer communication with yourself in your mind.

Benefit 4 - Meaningful Relationships Much Stronger

Our members use Thumoslang to mend or strengthen their existing relationships, build new relations, and achieve greater social life.

Benefit 5 - Faster Actualization of Your Ideals

The actualization of your ideals goes faster when it regularly involves your best group, which is the small group of in-person, second-mind friends who are the best for the nurturing of your ideals. Our activities help you speed up the actualization of your ideals by reducing social roadblocks and increasing social shortcuts in your life.

Otley Area Meetup

Otley, 45

Otley Area Meetup

Otley Area Meetup provides local events for local people and attempts to fill a gap between the successful groups that surround us in Ilkley, Harrogate and Leeds. We are a new group and it will take some time to build momentum. Please support us by attending events! 

We welcome suggestions and hosts for one-off or regular events. If you have a suggestion, please contact a member of the leadership team using Meetup messages, or start a discussion on the discussion board.


Membership Donations

This is a non-profit group, run by local volunteers for the benefit of local members. It is free to join, but we are charged a bi-annual fee by meetup.com. At most events you will be asked to make a small contribution toward these running costs. 

Monies received will be documented and evidence of this will be available upon request. Excess funds will be donated to our chosen charity, which for 2018 is Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Some events may require a deposit payable to the event venue. This deposit does not go toward running this group and will usually be deducted from your bill at the venue itself, e.g. a restaurant. The event host will explain the reason for a deposit in the event description and provide payment instructions. Deposits are non-refundable, except by arrangement with the event venue and event host.


Membership Guidelines

1. When you sign up to attend a group event you do so on the understanding that you are meeting with a group of friends and that this group, it's organisers and event hosts have no legal duty of care to you as a member or to any guests. You accept that the group's organisers and event hosts accept no liability for any accident or loss occurring from, or for any injuries arising out of, participation in this group's activities. You remain responsible for your own property, personal safety and wellbeing at all times. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that events you attend are suitable for your own personal circumstances

2. If you are unable to attend an event, please update your RSVP as soon as possible. Some events will, by their nature, have a limit on the number of people that can attend. Updating your RSVP as soon as your plans change gives someone else the chance to come along. Please be considerate to other members and only book onto events that you have a reasonable expectation of attending. Repeated no-shows are unfair to event organisers and other members and will result in your removal from the group.

3. Our policy is that you have a profile picture that allows you to be recognised by other members. This is particularly helpful when you or other members are trying to locate the group at the start of a meetup event.

4. We are committed to creating a friendly, inclusive and welcoming environment for all our members. If you experience any form of abuse, discrimination or harassment from another member at one of our events, or through the meetup.com website, please do not hesitate to contact an organiser.

5. Our policy is to maintain a membership roster that is current and active. From time to time we will review members' activity and may remove members who have not visited the group pages for three calendar months. You are free to rejoin at any time.

6. Organisers may post their mobile number on events for your convenience. Please only contact them about that event. If you want to contact an organiser about anything else, please use Meetup messages.
