We are currently running Bouldering meetups every week, and other climbing events on an ad-hoc basis. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced climber, it'd be great to meet you. We typically climb every Wednesday or Thursday evening, but we have a WhatsApp group too and people often post about climbing on other weekdays and at the weekend. Not convinced yet? The best thing about the Climbing Hangar in Exeter is that members get to bring guests along for free for their first session. That means if you haven't climbed there before and you come with us, you won't have to pay! Before you climb you'll need to fill in this waiver, which you can do at home: [https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/63f64869d7651/web/](https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/63f64869d7651/web/)

Welcome to BAG (Black & Brown Adventure Group) \~ Devon & Beyond! This is a Hiking and Adventure Group for those who identify has being from a racialised minority aka global majority. Back in 2012 whilst living in Cardiff, I decided to take up hiking. I moved to Devon in 2016, so I could continue to hike and reap the benefits of nature in this wonderous part of the UK. I grew up believing that it would be another space that lacked diversity, and I was right. I very rarely ever see black or brown faces hiking and I’m surprised and delighted when I do. I have found while discovering the countryside is that almost everyone is welcoming, and happy to see you there. So it makes it all the more disheartening that some racialised minorities feel that they are not welcome. My many positive experiences whilst adventuring and hiking around Devon and the South West have inspired me to create this group specifically for underrepresented communities like ours, who also want to reap the benefits of Devon and the South West Countryside. Safe spaces are important for marginalised people, to come together free from judgement, unsolicited opinions and prejudice, where we feel supported and respected. Because barriers to accessing rural spaces are just the tip of the iceberg Come Join Us on Our Next Adventure! We embrace inclusivity and diversity alongside all 'minority groups', including LGBTQIA+, all religions, races and etc. We have zero tolerance towards prejudice and discrimination in all its forms. We often focus on having smallish meet ups (predominantly 6 to 16 people) which makes it easier to get to know others within the activity... MEMBERSHIP: To help cover the running cost of the group, we will invite you to contribute £2 per person for each meetup attended. Alternatively, you can request to pay a £5 annual membership. This helps to cover the site membership fees and administration. Membership options: PAY AS YOU GO - pay £2 subs each time you attend an event ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP - £5 per person per year from the 1st day of you joining which will allow you to attend all sessions during your membership year subs-free. The renewal date will then be the 1st anniversary day the following year. If you choose not to renew your annual membership, then your membership will revert to pay as you go. Paid annual membership with BAG will also cover annual membership for the same period with: Go Explore & Exploring Cornwall (ask for more details) HOST MEMBERSHIP - become a host and arrange at least a couple of events over the course of a year and get your membership free for the year. If you would like to take advantage of the Host membership, please message the organiser to make the necessary arrangements. DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS For certain venues (e.g. pubs, cafes and restaurants,), we will ask for a minimum £5 deposit. This is either required by the venue and/or, by our meetup group to reserve your place. In the event of late drop out or no show, deposits are only returned in the event that someone else replaces you. This also applies for deposits and payments for trips, nights away, camping and kayaking etc. Deposits and payments are only returned in the event that someone else replaces you.

Exeter based group for people looking to improve their well-being through connecting with others, with nature, and with creative activities. I aim to host social walks, and other outdoor events. I will also be hosting some sociable creative workshops. About the host- I’m Carolyn I love spending time outside appreciating the wonders of nature. Indoors I find joy in doing lots of creative things like crafting and art. I have a degree in psychology and I’m currently coming towards the end of my training to qualify as an integrative counsellor. I am passionate about inclusivity and finding ways to support people experiencing loneliness or just wanting more connection. As a host I create a friendly, inclusive, welcoming environment. Most events will have a suggested donation amount. All events and activities are undertaken at the attendees own risk.

Hey everyone, This is a group for likeminded people in their 20's and 30's, but if that strays a bit, we are not checking. Our values are what is most important (see further below). The area we organise activities within stretches from Exmouth, up to Exeter, and back along the coast to Torbay. Our organisers are located throughout these areas to take advantage of local knowledge and to help build a local presence. Sometimes, we may venture outside our home area however for daytrips further afield! The types of activities we do typically include: walking, cycling, water based, picnics, beach days, and more. It will continually evolve, in part based on seasonal preferences, but also the ideas and input from organisers and others. Sometimes we are spontaneous with activities, organising them at short notice, sometimes we plan a bit ahead for everyone's convenience! We are most active, for now at least, at the weekend. If you want to know more, share your ideas, or even take a more active role in helping to run the group, please reach out to the organisers to make this known! This group will be most successful with as many contributions from everyone as possible! SOCIAL MEDIA We are on Facebook and Instagram to help people find us, who may not be aware of Meetup. Its also a place where we can be a bit more interactive with all members, so do join the groups.
