Outdoor activities groups near Southend-on-Sea, E4

Saturday Activities is a group of outgoing hikers & weekend adventurers. Join our group to discover the sporting activities, historical sites & beautiful landscapes that South East London & Kent have to offer & maybe get fit too :-)

This group is part of the Basildon Photographic Meet up Group, we have several groups covering different subjects, this is the Landscape section.

This is a private group and to be a member, firstly you have to be an active member of one of our other Meet-up Groups, and you have to agree to be an active member of this group, active means coming on all or most of the visits, the group will be limited to 12 members, so if I consider you to be non-active, I will remove you from the group so that another member can join us.

The aim of the group is to go out once a month for a days Landscaping, on occasions we will look at a weekend away, the plan is to go out regardless of the weather, if its raining we can all be prepared for it, and grab some of those Moody-landscape images we see.

Any members with ideas of places we can visit please drop me a line and /i will look into the possiblity of a visit.

The main objective of the group is to enjoy all aspects of our hobby but with a leaning towards Landscapes.

The purpose of this group is inspire, motivate and engage members to live healthy active lives. This group will promote the sharing of knowledge on good nutrition including recipes.

The group will also be involved in face to face and online exercise programs. As part of the drive to encourage and motivate members to live healthy active lives weekly workout online or face to face challenges will be organised

We're a group based in Rochester and surrounding area for anyone who loves books and wants to meet once a month to choose books to read as a Group as well as share their past, present and future reading experiences together over a cuppa or pint in a relaxed friendly environment! We have a varied membership of both men and women of all ages and backgrounds and our additional quirky 'reading related' social events offer an added 'twist' and the chance to expand your social life and maybe make some new friends along the way too!

You agree to read and follow any ‘Attendance Notice Requirements’ posted on each event you sign up to. E.g.

IN SUMMARY: Rochester Readaholics pride ourselves in being welcoming, friendly, and courteous. We wish to retain the benefits of being a small group for active members with regular commitment, with both adult male and female members of all ages and from all walks of life, who regularly attend and enjoy sharing their reading experiences with other fellow readers. We enjoy being part a relaxed positive group, with a wide range of reading interests, and look forward to welcoming other like minded local book lovers to join our eclectic fun book club.

The Bounce Back Club is .... a social group .... for singles. 

But, it's not a dating club. So, no dating events and no expectation or pressure to date anyone. Instead, you'll meet like-minded people and make friends. If friendship blossoms into something more, that's a bonus!

It's an ideal group for lots of people. You might be new to the area and looking to make friends, recently out of a relationship or happy to be single, but looking to expand your social life. Whatever the reason, you are very welcome to be part of a friendly group.

Most events are in Kent and are organised to create an active social life for everyone.

I try to make events LOCAL and AFFORDABLE for the majority of members, spacing out more costly events throughout the year. 

There are regular weekly and monthly events, in addition to many one-off events. Past events have included Lindyhop, Salsa classes, swimming, archery, pub quizzes, cinema trips, walks, live bands, Festivals, meals out, bowling, greyhound racing, trips to Europe - to name but a few. 

If you intend to join the group, please be aware that there is a modest annual Membership Fee of £5.00, payable on joining, and then a £1.00 Meetup Fee per Event. This helps keep the group active throughout the year, helps pay for the organiser dues and allows me to attend more of the events that I organise. Running the group is a lot of fun, but requires a great deal of time and effort.

There are hardly any 'rules' in the group. 'Nice' people don't need them! However, I do ask you to upload a profile photo, clearly of yourself. Just a natural photo of you with a smile.

So, don't be shy... send me a request to join. I will send you details about how to pay your £5.00 Membership Fee. As soon as your payment is confirmed, I'll approve your Membership and your Payment will appear on your profile.

Please note: <br>

Please provide a full photo - when requesting to join the group. This is a ladies only group.

New members wanting to join The Dolly Mixtures, please be aware that some commitment is required - as I only hold occasional meetups within the month and they are mostly all held at a Fixed Venue; within the Medway area. It is especially important that members try and come along and give the Dolly Mixtures a go, The group is a made up of very friendly and welcoming ladies; all waiting to meet you!!

The Group is aimed for ladies ages 40 and upwards, I am reaching out to members who preferably live in the Medway area- ie: Strood/Rochester/Higham or any surrounding Medway Towns- but I do have members that come from Gravesend/Dartford/Sittingbourne and sometimes a little further afield so if you are willing to commute the distance, then I have no problem with you joining the Dolly Mixtures. <br>

My main purpose is to bring together "like minded individuals" from a variety of backgrounds and cultures- to "form friendships be supportive of each other " and "have a laugh" and this year we are starting to get fit together! <br>

As my group is a small setting, I only have limited places for members at each meet-up so my intention is to take on members who "are genuine and actively want to particpate with the Dolly Mixtures Group" if you are an individual who is finding it hard to make friends through work or hobbies, or maybe you are on the "quieter side" then this group might be for you, who knows what new friends you might make! <br>

Meetups will include: <br>

• Having a drink together, and optional food is available; having a chat and a laugh along the way!

• Occasional "Sunday Roasts" will try and coincide those with farmers market days

• Coffee shop catch ups mid week and some weekends

• Card games including"Uno" and "Chase the Queen" <br>

• Occasional day trips, cinema and walks

• Gym and swimming. <br>

<br>

'Remember their are no strangers just friends whom have never met'

<br>

<br>

*** Please note: I now charge an annual £6 non refundable membership fee and this will be payable on the first meet up or via bank transfer - starting from April each year. This cost covers my expenses, and re-coups my costs of running and arranging meetups every month.

What I ask from my members - note: this is a small group so any non attendance obviously impacts on the group greater, please therefore consider this before responding as spaces are limited and if you can no longer attend please let us know as soon as possible so the space can be filled by another. If you find you have failed to attend I would expect an explanation for this for the event leader. Please note that 3 non attendances can constitute removal from the group and this is at the discretion of the event leader and myself Note that guests are welcome at some events if there is space available. Do doublecheck that you can bring a guest to avoid disappointment as of course members take priority.

Also to note, we have become a very jolly, harmonious,close, kind group and we welcome wholeheartedly new friends to join us so don't worry we were all new girls once, hope to see you soon ***
