Go Explore ~ Devon & Beyond
**WE'RE ALL ABOUT... Exploring the outdoors, Exploring food venues & cultural exploration. Whether it's during the day, evening or weekends there are outdoor activities, food and local events at almost every moment 🙂.** The aim of the group is to bring together down to earth, fun and sociable optimists who are open to a variety of experiences. You are encouraged to offer your recommendations and suggestions, ranging from your fabulous and not-so-fabulous southwest experiences. Events can be anything related to the pursuit of adventure, food or cultural fulfilment and are only limited by our imagination. Here are some examples: Outdoor adventures, activities and hikes New and Existing Country pubs / Restaurants Street Markets Festivals Kayaking and Canoeing Camping adventures We embrace inclusivity and diversity with all 'minoritised groups' being welcome to our events, including LGBTQ+, all religions, races, disabilities etc. We have zero tolerance towards 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 £1/£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 £1/£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 Go Explore will also cover annual membership for the same period with: [Exploring Cornwall (Truro, United Kingdom) | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/Exploring-Cornwall-Meetup/) 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. **IMPORTANT - SAFETY & LIABILITY:** The group is for adults aged 21 and over only.

Westcountry Friends Social Group

Plymouth, D4

Westcountry Friends Social Group
**HELLO** Thank you for taking a look at our group 🙂 The group hosts events mainly in Plymouth, Exeter, South Devon, as well as in Cornwall Dorset, Somerset and further afield for special events during the year.🌳 A warm and friendly inclusive group for anyone and everyone who would like to meet up for friendship, fun, laughter and companionship.😆 Meetup was a fantastic idea that started in America in June 2002 after 9/11 to bring communities together. You can find out more here.... [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meetup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meetup) Whatever your circumstances whether you've recently moved to the area, or that your social life just needs a boost then please join us.🙂 Nikki started the group in April 2019 to make friends and get out and about a little more with her dog. Since then it's grown and together we aim to provide a wide range of events for everyone to enjoy.🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ We tend to keep the events to a limited number of people, with the exception of a few such as walks, to allow good conversation and so it's not quite so daunting. There might be the odd exception to this but generally we have found from member feedback people prefer smaller groups.🙂 **WHAT WE DO** Some of the things we do are walks around our beautiful local area, National Trust houses and gardens, meals just about everywhere and at all times of the day too!. Coffee mornings, cinema and theatre trips, days out to places of interest, historic tours, live music. visiting fares and exhibitions, organised boat trips. escape rooms, outdoor pursuits, spa days, bowling, themed weekends, kayakjng etc. Ideas are most welcome and appreciated. We always listen to our members and do our very best to include your suggestions. We like trying out new things and visiting new places.🌳⛵ Members expect to be treated with respect and kindness. Inconsiderate behaviour, racism, sexism, ageism, extremist views ,unkind behaviour or gossiping will not be tolerated.😊 This group is not a dating site! We understand that a romantic interest may evolve between members which is absolutely great but the purpose of the group is for friendship and companionship. Anyone who hassles another member or or if a member reports unwanted/ inappropriate behaviour they will be removed from the group♥️ Please keep RSVPs up to date, this is especially important with regards to table bookings etc and is curteous, thank you.👍 **HEALTH AND SAFETY** Everyone is responsible for their own health and safety when attending events as well as your own dogs when applicable. Event organisers are hosting social events for friends and do not hold any qualifications or liability insurance. We do our best to describe the events as best as we can for you to judge if they are suitable for your ability but you are responsible for your own health and safety. All walks are subject to weather conditions and may be cancelled by the host. This is for your safety.⚕️ First time? Don't worry, we know what it's like coming along for the first time, feeling a little anxious but you will always receive a warm welcome. The host will always meet you beforehand so you don't need to walk in anywhere on your own.🙂👍 **DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS** These are required to be paid at the same time as putting your name down (as long as you're on the 'going list, not needed if on the 'waiting list') Needed to secure your place as venues often require a deposit and tickets for shows and activities are purchased on your behalf, therefore if you put your name down please pay into the account stated on the event page, thank you. This helps the smooth running of the group and the sanity of the organisers! Some meals need a pre order too. This will always be stated in the event description.👍 **HOW TO JOIN** This is an adult only social group. You are eligible to join if you are 21 years old or over. Members are respectively reminded that children are unable to accompany members to events. It would be appreciated if you could have a photo of yourself on your profile to help organisers recognise you when attending events.📸 We also have a Facebook group where we can share events, ideas videos etc.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/3098134913553086 We look forward to welcoming you soon from Nikki and all at Westcountry Friends Social Group 🌳⛵☀️🙂

Free Sahaja Yoga Meditation Plymouth

Plymouth, D4

Free Sahaja Yoga Meditation Plymouth
With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. No Mats or special clothing required. This community group was started in Plymouth to invite all those who might be interested in learning to meditate and for those who actually want to achieve Yoga. Many are curious as to what meditation or yoga actually is and what's it all about?  The meetings aim to provide that insight and know how.   The charity offers free bespoke classes that 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.   Sahaja Yoga free meditation classes help attendees to achieve a deep state of peace and spiritual awareness in life. Try Sahaja Yoga meditation classes and see for yourself the improvement to your mental, physical and emotional state. Learn and experience…- Simple meditation techniques.   Guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation. 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.

Travel Addicts

Coads Green, C6

Travel Addicts

This group is about sharing our travel stories, tips and experiences. Welcome to group travel savings!


As we become acquainted, we make travel plans. You are welcome wherever you live. Membership is free.


Whether you are single or a couple, it's more fun to travel in a group and with people you know! All ages are welcome. We meet regularly and ask for suggestions of destinations group members would like to visit.


The Trips


If you like touring, cruising, adventure, sightseeing holidays, city breaks and activity holidays then this group is for you. You can even be the pilot flying a Boeing 737 Jet in a state-of-the-art simulator on our very popular ‘pilots wanted days’.

It's not just overseas travel. We'll also have days out and weekends in the UK. By traveling together we can access extra group savings to make it more affordable. As a group we can negotiate deals for our members.

Basic Rules

We are a MeetUp group, so please ensure you are familiar with MeetUp's community guidelines - appropriate standards of behaviour are expected both on and offline are expected. 


How Travel Addicts works


1.  RSVP to a trip on the MeetUp you like that someone else has chosen and the organiser will be in touch to discuss.  You can also find your own trip with ANY tour operator and we can turn it into a MeetUp. In most cases we can get you a better price if you book the trip through our agency than booking direct. 

2. I’ll get in touch to discuss your booking and take a deposit

3. If you are travelling solo, we’ll match you with a room-mate of the same gender or you can choose to pay the single supplement where available. Some tours have zero single supplements and a few of the more adventurous trips may not have a single room option. If we can't match you with someone then sometimes a single supplement may be the only option for a trip.


Is my money safe?


All trips we organise are through a financially protected travel agency. If you book anything with us, you pay the travel agency, not into a personal bank account. You will get an individual receipt and written confirmation of the arrangements from the bonded tour operator. If flights are included, you will get an ATOL certificate. Payments are welcome by bank transfer, credit or debit card. We'll always name the operator and your price will never be more than if you had booked directly with them yourself. It is more likely to be less with our group buying power.

If you are thinking of making an individual booking direct with any adventure or touring company, call us first for the best price. e.g. CostSaver, Explore, Intrepid, G Adventures, Trek America, Cosmos, Travelsphere, Titan, Riviera Travel, Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Contiki and many more.
