Herts outdoors

Hemel Hempstead, F8

Herts outdoors

This is an initiative for happier and healthier people.


We were walking, hiking and spending time outdoors as part of various meetup groups. We were acutely aware of how being outdoors makes one feel calmer, at peace and also bestows a sense of achievement. As a person, when you experience something so enriching, you want to pass it on to your others too.


The crispness of the air, the clarity of the water, the vastness of the space, the sheer beauty of the landscape - we wanted these to be part of our life. We knew with personal experience that being with nature will aid them to find a joy within - a precious life skill that will help make their lives happier in the long run.


If you are a parent, professional, or individual, and are looking to rekindle yourself with nature and have great fun whilst at it, then you have come to the right place.


If you are already an outdoor-focused person, brimming with ideas of things to do outdoors and would love to pass the bug on to others, you have come to the right place. We are always looking for people like you to join the team.


If you are an outdoor professional in any outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, sailing, kayaking, biking, etc. and think, your values and mission resonates with ours, and would like to team up with us in creating more outdoor opportunities, then if you have come to the right place.


We:

- organise fun, outdoor days out, and wild weekends away with or without family

- encourage and provide support to our members to arrange similar meetups in their area

- Support outdoor professionals around the UK and why not abroad.

West Herts AAA Social

Hemel Hempstead, F8

West Herts AAA Social
Welcome to our Meetup group. It's for people who’d like to take part in social activities on a regular basis, meet new friends and lead an active social life. We aim to discover unique and unusual local activities and events, together with regular, more traditional Meetups like pub nights, meals, cinema/theatre, live music, semi-guided walks etc. Our aim is to compliment activities to your own social calendars. We welcome new ideas and always encourage members to share with us your thoughts for future events. Some events will be free and some we ask members make a small contribution to help cover Meetup costs. (Sadly it’s not a free service to the Organisers!) In addition, we ask that all members keep in mind the fact that our Event Organisers are hosting their events completely voluntarily, in their own time and we need to make the events as straightforward as possible for them to run. The absolute basic requirement of all members is therefore to ensure that you keep your RSVPs up to date. If you put your name down to attend an event and later cannot make it, you need to be fair to all parties involved and click on ‘Edit your RSVP’ to ‘Not going’ ahead of the event. Try not to leave it to the last minute if possible as there will quite often be people on a waiting list wanting to go, should a place become available. The most important thing about this group is to feel safe, relaxed, included and above all, have fun 😇 Risk Disclaimer: Please note that all members take part in all activities solely at their own risk, should any personal loss, accident, illness or physical injury occur during an event.

Luton - Dunstable Activities, Dining & Social Group

Luton, A5

Luton - Dunstable Activities, Dining & Social Group
Welcome to this Meetup group, for people who live in Luton, Dunstable and the surrounding areas, who’d like to take part in social activities on a regular basis, meet new friends and lead an active social life. Our typical members range in age from 20s to 60s, but there are no constraints on age (as long as you’re over 18)! We aim to discover unique and unusual local activities and events, together with regular, more traditional Meetups like meals, theatre trips, live music and walks. Our aim is to create a balanced social calendar for single people and couples alike :-)   Most of our events take place in the three counties but sometimes we venture further afield to London.   Our walks are led at a decent pace but we don’t frantically march you from start to finish; our emphasis is more on being sociable rather than just clocking up the maximum distance in the minimum time. We like to be able to maintain a conversation as we walk and you won’t get left behind if you stop to tie your shoelace! Previous Meetups have included a Mad Hatters Tea Party, a Ukulele Jam, a Butterfly Walk, Trampolining, a Narrow Boat Cruise and many more.   We’re always looking for new ideas, so please share with us your thoughts for future events.     PROFILE PHOTO To join this group, you must be easily recognisable from your profile photo. Please note we can’t accept photos from linked social media accounts if your face is not clearly visible. MEMBERSHIP DONATION We are asking members to make a voluntary membership contribution – for example a few pounds per year - to cover the cost of having this group on the Meetup site. (Sadly it’s not a free service to the Organisers!) This can be done by PayPal to: **lutondunstableactivities@gmail.com** Please choose the option for paying friends & family, not a business, so no PayPal fees are deducted. ... or in person when you attend an event. (PS We don't read any emails sent to that Gmail address, it's just for PayPal!) Your member donation also covers your membership of our sister group on Meetup – Luton Cineworld Cinema Lovers, so you can head over to join that group too if you enjoy films! ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR POLICY This group has an Acceptable Behaviour Policy. Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with it. The policy can be seen here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U_FoXKK3c6PS6kg7-FD1AFr1J_bOYXhIgj9vScGQkPg/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U_FoXKK3c6PS6kg7-FD1AFr1J_bOYXhIgj9vScGQkPg/edit?usp=sharing) In short, we don’t tolerate harassing behaviour towards other members and such behaviour may lead to your removal from the group.   We also ask you to bear in mind that this is neither a dating site nor a mental health support group. Although there are many wonderful Meetup groups dedicated to these two purposes, our group is about friendship, fun and light-hearted conversation.   People come to our events to escape the stresses and strains of their daily life rather than examine and discuss them at length. Whilst numerous romances have actually blossomed from people meeting at our events, our members are unlikely to respond favourably if you just start randomly messaging them through the site with your best chat up lines!     ATTENDANCE OF EVENTS   In addition, we ask that all members keep in mind the fact that our Event Organisers are hosting their events completely voluntarily, in their own time and we need to make the events as straightforward as possible for them to run!   The absolute basic requirement of all members is therefore to ensure that you keep your RSVPs up to date. If you put your name down to attend an event and later cannot make it, please either change your RSVP to ‘No’ ahead of the event or if the event has already started, write a comment in the event to let the host know you are no longer coming.   Occasionally certain events where reservations have been made at venues will require a non-refundable deposit for this reason.   You may be removed from the group for repeated “No Shows” or last minute drop outs. RISK DISCLAIMER Please note that all members take part in all activities solely at their own risk should any personal loss, accident, illness or physical injury occur during an event. RECEIVING OUR EVENT NOTIFICATIONS Please check your Profile settings to ensure you’re opted in to receive emails from our Organiser. We only send occasional emails regarding important communications. Meetup will also email you to notify you when we list new events. Having problems receiving our emails?
