Anyone joining this group to message members they have not met before will be removed. **Members**  Everyone uses their **real name**, first name will do and secondly, please load a **recent clear head and shoulders** recognisable picture of yourself only (i.e. no one else in the photo and no sunglasses please.) on your profile as this helps us recognise each other at events, anyone without a photo of themselves, using a joke photo, unclear photo or photo deemed inappropriate will be removed. **Location** Must live within 25 mile radius of Derby Derbyshire, UK or if further afield at the organisers discretion. **Participation** We aim to make this **active** group filled with members who want to attend Meetups.  Members will be removed if they have not attended a Meetup within 12 months of joining and have not attended 3+ Meetups in the last 2 years. If you have not visited our group on Meetup for over a year you may be removed without notice.  **Age** Must be over 18 years of age at the time of joining **Membership is FREE** \- However\, if a particular Meetup event incurs a charge\, this charge will be passed on to the members attending on a non\-profit basis\. There will be a **fundraising event each year** to raise funds for the group’s subscription fees.  **All money raised from members will be accounted for and placed in an account solely for Derby Sociable’s in my name (Diane Schofield Organiser).  I run this organisation with transparency and trust.** **EVENTS**  Hosts organise and post events for the benefit of the group giving up their own time, so please respect hosts and other members by following the simple rules regarding events below, we just ask that members be courteous please. **RSVP's -** Meetups are open to all members so if you want to attend please **RSVP "YES"** and just turn up. Please doesn’t turn up without RSVP'ing "YES" as there maybe number restrictions plus the host wants to know in advance who will be attending. There is no need to **RSVP** "**NO"** to an event unless you have previously said "**YES"** and need to change to "**NO**". It is courteous and polite to keep your **RSVP's** updated that includes if you are on the waiting list.  Members who repeatedly do not turn up to Meetups they have "**RSVP'd**" to and do not let the host know otherwise (**No Shows**), maybe removed from the group without notice. **NO SHOWS:** 3 'no-shows' and we will remove you from the group (first time this happens you will have chance to re-join, but if it's persistent we may permanently remove you) - sorry about this, but it's something which frustrates both the hosts and the other people coming out to enjoy themselves. Some events may have a wait list and a **no show** could prevent a member from attending. **Gate crashing**: An event with limited numbers and a waiting list, or at the event hosts discretion will be treated in the same way as a no-show and will be reflected in your profile as a no show. Both are disrespectful to hosts and other members. **Banned Member**: Any member that has been removed from Derby Sociable’s and has been added as a guest to an event, which they attend, will be removed from the event. The person, who brought the guest, will also be removed as a member of Derby Sociable’s **Courtesy**: Be respectful but have fun - remember with lots of people you will naturally form friendships with some more than others, but the group is about getting out, meeting new people and being open and sociable with everyone. **EVENT HOSTS** We encourage as many members as possible to be event hosts as we believe it will make a more vibrant group with a wide and diverse mix of events making the group interesting.  If you would like to be a host for Derby Sociable’s please get in touch with Diane Schofield, Organiser for Derby Sociable’s. We request all hosts to be aware of new members on an event and make them feel comfortable and welcome, as we know it can be quite daunting for some people to join an established group of friends. Event Hosts will not be allowed to put on an event, removing them has a host and replacing themselves with just a member **who has not been accepted as an event host by the Organiser.**  If this happens the event will be removed.  Reoccurrence of this will mean the Event host being removed as a Host. **EVENT PAYMENTS** **In general Event Hosts may have an event were there’s a deposit or payment involved.**  **Please remember only the Organiser Diane Schofield can take collection of all members’ payments regarding any event, unless this has been agreed otherwise.** **DISCLAIMERS** Derby Sociables specifically DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES and assumes no responsibility or liability for any loss or damage or financial loss suffered by any person as a result of taking part in events or activities organized by event hosts. Derby Sociable’s assumes or undertakes NO LIABILITY for any loss or damage suffered as a result of participation in events or activities. **PARTICIPATE AT YOUR OWN RISK:** Consult a doctor before performing any physical exercise or activities.  It is your responsibility to evaluate your own medical and physical condition and to independently determine whether to perform, use or adapt any of the exercises or activities at our events. Any exercise program may result in injury. By voluntarily undertaking any exercise or activity at our events, you assume the risk of any resulting injury. **Photography**: Photos can be taken at events and shared under the Meetup Group. If this is unacceptable to you, as a member, it is your responsibility to let the event host know you do not wish to appear in photographs and we ask that event hosts respect the request and ensure your request is honoured. **MEMBERSHIP:** Derby Sociable’s  Group Organiser Diane Schofield reserves the right to deny new members membership to Derby Sociable’s or to terminate an existing membership if it is deemed that continued membership will be detrimental to the wellbeing of the group, or that a member's behaviour has caused offence to any other members or member. The Group's Organiser decision will be final. Attendance of events will be deemed as acceptance of these terms and conditions. Updated: 02/01/2024

Aldercar and Langley Friends

Langley Mill, D3

Aldercar and Langley Friends
A.L.F is a small social and activity group primarily for people in Aldercar, Langley Mill and surrounding areas. Our aim? To improve life a little bit at a time without having to go too far. We're not therapy but we're a good second option. 😊 Feeling down, stressed, isolated, ill or recuperating? You are not on your own. Get to know other local people with regular cheap, often free, easy to attend shorter activities in small friendly groups of four to twelve people. Progress your social life locally with a variety of longer events and social occasions all whilst supporting some of our local businesses. You will get out and about, happier, socialising and talking, if only about the rotten weather! *NB. As a volunteer group, we make every effort to ensure you are looked after, safe and welcomed. We endeavour to provide you with information on specific activity requirements i.e. footwear, timings, stops etc where necessary and as best we can in order to support your attendance. Participation in activities is done under your own liability.* *A cover photo is appreciated but not mandatory. Accounts inactive for 12 months are deleted.* **Note to organisers: Events at ALF are group aim specific, as such we have a smaller window of what we can do and take much planning, whilst imitation is the best form of flattery, copying, cutting and pasting is not. Should you wish to copy or 'bounce off' a Aldercar & Langley Event, please have the courtesy to message us first.**

Free Meditation & Yoga Derbyshire

Chellaston, D3

Free Meditation & Yoga Derbyshire
Hello there! We'd like to welcome you to our **FREE** weekly Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings hosted by Pat & Chellaston team which take place on **Saturdays @ 11.00am at** Chellaston Bowls Club Entrance Lidl Car Park 27-33 Swarkestone Road Chellaston Derby DE73 5UA With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required. We are all volunteers of a Charity organisation and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes. All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most **transformative energy** of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us **restore balance and harmony** within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for. The classes are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is **quite effortless and spontaneous**. The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a **state of yoga**, and they are available across London most evenings and throughout the UK. The idea is that you don't do yoga - you Achieve Yoga! Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. It helps those who enjoy it, **reduce stress and increase wellness and health holistically.** It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and better balanced. Anyone can do it. Founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a world wide movement for **peace and self awakening**. All the meetings and classes are free of any charge. Each week we go through **simple meditation techniques**, often with guided meditations to help **re**duce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation. We share tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home. The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and **balancing the subtle body**. The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with **no mental activity or thoughts** about the past or the future. Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a **natural state** of being.
