***Welcome to The Surrey and Hampshire Photography Meetup Group. (formerly Hampshire Photography Friends)*** The group was established in 2012 and since then has been the platform for numerous photographic meetup events, and is popular with both established and new members.  We are always looking to welcome new members so please join if you like what you see and would like to join in with our activities. The aim of the group is simple - to meet with like minded photographers to share skills and experience, and to improve our skills in a friendly and social environment.  Whether you are highly experienced or a newbie to photography you will be made very welcome.  It doesn't matter what type of camera you have as anyone with any camera can take a good photograph. Before you join please read the small print - by joining you are accepting these 5 statements.......These statements are purely to protect the group, its members, and to ensure that attendees of meetups take personal responsibility for themselves and actions. 1) If I RSVP 'yes' to an event then I have a responsibility to attend unless I change my RSVP to 'No'. I accept that if I do not show on more than 1 occasion my membership of the group may be terminated. 2) I will be polite and courteous to other members and will be respectful of their values and beliefs. I will not discriminate on the basis of people's ability, age, colour, race, sex, religion, sexuality or sexual identity. 3) I accept responsibility for my own safety and security on all meetups with this group and accept that organisers of any meetups, or the group are not responsible for any accident, or loss incurred by me on a meetup. 4) I accept that I am personally responsible for any damage or loss caused by myself to other people, property, or structures and any loss incurred by those people whilst I am attending a meetup and the organiser or group will not be held responsible for such actions or losses incurred. 5) The organiser will cancel the membership of any member who is no longer active in the group, meaning any member who has not visited the website for a period of 6 months or more. This is purely to make the numbers more easily manageable. Those ex-members are welcome to re-join at any time.

This is a group for anyone interested in visiting Historic and Ancient churches, battlefields, monuments, historic paths, old houses, gardens, ships, pubs and more, and don't mind stopping and starting to look around. Where everyone can feel comfortable enough to share their knowledge and expertise.

The aim is to enjoy both Hampshire and Wiltshire (and maybe even further a field) which are steeped in history, archaeology and historic buildings and sites. The events will involve walking either around a place of interest or a short circular walk of around 3/8 miles. Due to the nature of the activity we may incur entry fee's to certain historic sites or events. We will try to end the day in a tea rooms or pub to catch up on what we've seen.

I think theses event are best in good weather. If the weather is looking unpleasant I will let you know the night before if I'll be canceling. :-)

Welcome to the Google Developer Group for Hampshire and Surrey!

We're about all things Google: Chrome, Android, Polymer, AngularJS, App Engine, Firebase, Cast, AdWords/AdSense/AdMob, Android Pay and more. We're primarily a bunch of developers, so we like the view under the hood, and we're not too shy to take a look at code from time to time.

Anyone interested in any of these technologies is very welcome - whether a seasoned veteran, or if you've no experience whatsoever and are looking for a guiding hand. Often we get an early look at emerging Google technologies.

Typically we meet monthly, a cycle of talks/presentations one month and study jams the next. There's always free food and good chat.

We're the official GDG for the counties of Hampshire and Surrey including the M3 corridor running from Southampton to Staines. We meet at Innovation Centre, Basing View, Basingstoke.

Disclaimer: GDG Hants & Surrey is an independent group; our activities and the opinions expressed here should in no way be linked to Google, the corporation.

Welcome to Hampshire's Wandering Wayfarers, a friendly, leisurely paced walking group where you are welcome to come and join us on walks in Hampshire and the surrounding counties. There may also be the occasional special walk that could be in a different part of the country or spread over 2 or more days. Walks will mostly be on a Sunday and usually between 6-10 miles (10-16Km). Often there will be places of interest along the way where we will, if the opportunity and time permit, stop and look around. These may be historic buildings, old mills, churches and other interesting and historic landmarks that I hope will serve to enrich the content of the walk.  There will be a modest charge per walk to cover the subscription costs of the site and other expenses associated with running the group, this may now be made by contactless card. There may also be additional charges depending upon the activity. This is a **non-smoking** walking group and only open to over 18s. Please take a moment to look through the Conditions of Membership below: **Conditions of Membership** In order for each person to enjoy the experience of being with this group, members are asked to read and comply with the following: * **Conflict of Interest** If I consider your membership of this group to be a 'Conflict of Interest' to the group, it's activities or membership, then your membership of this group is likely to be terminated. * **Using the Meetup Group Site** *Registering with this group* * ***IMPORTANT: Profile Picture and Name*** Like most Meetups - please register with an appropriate and recognisable photo with your real name. Your profile will be removed if it is non-compliant. * *Walk Events* Events are periodically put on the Group's Meetup platform. When an Event's RSVP is open, members may RSVP to the event. The host may 'Post' an event, however, events may not be 'Announced' to all members immediately allowing regular visitors the chance to see the events first. This may be done if there is a limited number that can go. * *Joining Walks and Double Booking* I'd ask that you please only 'Join' a walk in this group if you intend to come along. Please don't 'Double book' events on other Meetup groups. * *"UNPAID" by your name* This is set up by "Meetup". When you RSVP to go on a walk you are flagged as 'Unpaid' - in fact EVERYONE is flagged as 'Unpaid' (only your details are visible to you) When you have paid, (usually by cash/card on the day of the walk), I update the list to flag you as 'Paid'. Mostly this is done on the day but maybe at a later time. If payment is required in advance, and you have paid, this will then be updated. * *Removing yourself from the Walk* If you decide not to go on a walk that you have said you are going on please change your status to 'Not Going' as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in you being flagged as a 'No Show'. If you 'drop out' at the last moment your name will be flagged with a '\*'. Your attendance at future events may be restricted and you could be removed from the group following three '\*' drop outs. * *'No Show'* If you opt to 'Join' a walk and withdraw on the morning of the walk, or just fail to turn up, this is considered to be a 'No Show' and your name will be flagged with a hash **#**. Your attendance at future events may be restricted following a 'no show'. If there are extenuating circumstances for your 'No Show' please get in touch so the flag can be removed. You may be removed from the group for persistent 'no shows' as this is discourteous to both the event organiser and other members who will be expecting you. * *Walk Postponement/Cancellation* It is the intent to offer walks as published on the Meetup calendar, however there may be times when, due to circumstances that may be unforeseen or beyond our control, the walk is postponed or cancelled. If a walk that is cancelled can be rescheduled at a later date then this will be done if circumstances permit. The walk may also be cancelled if, in the opinion of the Walk Leader or organiser, the weather conditions would make the walk too hazardous for safety or unpleasant. The walk may also be cancelled if the number of attendees fall below a minimum required for that particular event. Any fees paid for any event that is subsequently cancelled will be repaid in full. As much notice of cancellation or postponement will be given, however, neither the Walk Leader, organiser nor the Meetup organisation accept any liability for any subsequent or consequential losses incurred due to the cancellation or postponement of an event. * **Special Event days** There may be 'special event' days where walks will be conducted over a longer distance, perhaps requiring group transport to be arranged, over a weekend or perhaps longer periods. Places on these 'special' events may be limited and are likely to be restricted to regular walkers that would have attended a minimum number of previous walks. Details will be made known at the time of publishing the event. For 'special events' involving additional charges, these charges may be requested as a condition of booking and are not refundable (unless the event is cancelled) should you subsequently withdraw. * **On the day of the walk** * *No Show* Walks generally have an RSVP 'Cut Off' time (often 9am on the day of the walk). If you change your RSVP to 'Not Going' after this time you will be flagged as a 'No Show' and your name will be identified with a hash **#**. Your attendance at future events may be restricted following a 'No Show'. If there are extenuating circumstances for your 'No Show' please get in touch so the flag can be removed. * *Smoking* This is a NON SMOKING group. For the enjoyment and comfort of others, members are asked not to smoke at any time (this includes e-cigarettes) either prior to, during, or after the event whilst with the group. * *Personal Equipment* Please ensure you bring suitable personal equipment and enough provisions for your own needs. Appropriate clothing should be worn at all times. During the walk there will usually be a 'coffee' break, a lunch break, and, depending on the length of the walk, an afternoon break. * *The Meeting Start Point* Please double check directions to the Meetup start point. The point indicated in the map is usually accurate. You should check the location on Google Maps if you have any doubt. DO NOT RELY ON THE POSTCODE. Often the start point is in the middle of nowhere and the postcode will be irrelevant. Please do check the location on the site and use the Meetup Directions link to Google Maps on your phone. It is your responsibility to arrive at the start point in time for the advertised departure. Whilst it is always hoped there will be enough parking at the advertised point it may be that you will have to find an alternative place to park so please allow time for this. It is unlikely that the Walk Leader will hold the rest of the group up for late comers. * *Registration and Payment of Walk Fees* Please 'sign in' with the Walk Leader who will have a register of people on the walk and will mark you present. Please also pay any walking fees due at this time. Payment may be made by cash or card. You will then be updated to be 'present' and 'paid'. This may be updated on the site after the walk. * **On the Walk** At all times please follow the instructions of the Walk Leader. In general these will be limited to matters of safety and group management. It is an all adult group and therefore each walker has the responsibility to look after themselves and to keep within the group. There may not be a 'back marker' so please keep the group, and especially the Walk Leader, in visual contact at all times. The pace will be set by the Walk Leader who may not be leading from the front so please do not get too far ahead or allow yourself to get left behind. There may be times when you will need to stop. Please let the Walk Leader know (either directly or indirectly) that you need to stop so that you don't get left behind. Should you wish to leave the walk/event for any reason then please let the Walk Leader know. The Walk Leader will relinquish any responsibility to you once you have left the group. Walks may or may not have been recced beforehand and changes to the route may be made 'on the fly' in case of unexpected diversions, path closures, livestock, poor weather, or as otherwise decided by the walk leader. * *Dogs* Well behaved dogs, under close control, are welcome unless otherwise advised on the event. For the safety and comfort of other walkers, livestock, animal and bird welfare, if the Walk Leader is uncomfortable with a loose or aggressive dog, the owner will be asked to walk the dog on a lead. * *Litter* Please take your litter home or dispose of it in a proper bin en-route. Please do not throw citrus peel nor banana skins into bushes or leave them lying around the countryside. They have waxy skins which take an age (2 years in fact!) to naturally break down and look very untidy strewn all over the place. Apple cores are not so bad - they take only 8 weeks, or less if a bird or animal finds it! * *Unacceptable behaviour* It goes without saying that the purpose of these walks is to enjoy what our countryside has to offer and everyone has a right to enjoy these activities in a safe and pleasant atmosphere. Therefore, please refrain from any activity likely to cause distress to another member or the group as a whole. * *Risk* Walking is an activity with relatively low risk but please be reminded that you attend the event at your own risk to you and your property. The Walk Leader will aim to reduce the risk to you on the walk but will not be liable for any injury due to your lack of care, attention or negligence, loss or damage to any vehicle or equipment you may have. You should have sufficient insurance to cover this. * *Photographs* By joining a walk you agree that you may appear in photographs taken and posted on the Meetup site. Members may post their own photos of the event on the site but any photo may be asked to be removed if deemed unsuitable. * **Finally...** There are a number of times when we will be visiting old churches, mills, old buildings etc. I find these old buildings fascinating and those that are open are nearly always free to enter. If, like me, you find an interest in these old building and wish to offer a contribution to their upkeep then I am sure a church for example, will be very grateful for any donations received. I usually drop some loose change in their box and this often covers an information leaflet which is always an interesting read. Thank you for your understanding of the above. **Now... let's go walking...........** Mike O'Neill

Currently online [https://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/events/zoom-yoga-meditation-online/](https://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/events/zoom-yoga-meditation-online/) Want to experience it now – Experience Self Realisation now – Guided Meditation  [https://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/articles/experience-your-self-realisation-online-now/](https://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/articles/experience-your-self-realisation-online-now/) Achieve Yoga & enter into a state of ‘thoughtless awareness’. Hello there! We'd like to welcome you to our Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings hosted locally. With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we generally sit on chairs to achieve Yoga, effortlessly and spontaneously. As such no Asanas (exercises) are required, no mat or special clothing. We are all volunteers of a Charity organisation and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes. 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. 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 reduce 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.

Welcome to our Over 30's Casual 5 a side Football Meetup group! We are a group of adults who are past our best but still enjoy a kick about every week. If you want no strings, friendly, casual football experience then this is the right place for you. All abilities of course welcome but we won't be playing each game like it's the FA Cup final. Games will be organised in the Farnborough / Frimley/ Camberley areas of Hampshire and Surrey. As this is a new local group, we will be playing at a local field initially. If the group expands we will look to book indoor/ outdoor pitches.

This is the home of Freda Minton, of Yateley Hypnotherapy, in her efforts to make this corner of the world a happier place. **The Neurodiverse Events Sister Profile to this profile is called (FAANS) - Farnborough and Aldershot Neurodiverse Socials.** My goal is to post FREE group social meets for: People hoping to learn about improving their Mental Health Neurodivergent people in the area to get together, with understanding people, in a suitable environment. People to come together and do “Planning for Mental Health” - a vital activity to keep account of energy and mood levels. And other odd things....my mind just doesn't stop. Oh, if I had the resources to do it all! :-D. But, at least I can work on getting people together and mental health, eh?
