This is a group for adults under the age of 40ish who want to expand their social circle.

We are a friendly bunch of people, and organise a variety of social events such as:

Drinks, meals out

Activities eg. bowling, salsa

Board / card games in a pub

Walks

Live comedy, music, theatre

And once you get to know people there is the opportunity for more adventurous trips such as: escape rooms, paint balling, go ape... anything really!

In order to keep the group running on this site we do need to cover a subscription fee. We ask that you give £3 at your first event to the event organiser to pass on to me (Jen). Hopefully after this we should not need to ask for any more subscription fee, and you can carry on attending as many events as you like, and continue the friendships you have made.

So what are you waiting for? Join up and RSVP to an event now :)

This Meetup group is for well socialised dogs who want to bring their humans on a lovely hike in the Herefordshire, Gloucestershire or Worcestershire countryside. We’ll meet 2 or 3 times a month for energetic hikes of varying distances and they will usually involve a hill or two! The group is a voluntary amateur social group (your Meetup membership terms include a release of liability for group organisers) hence you are solely responsible for the safety and actions of yourself and your dogs and are expected to respect other group members, land and livestock, and other users of the areas we visit. Due to Meetup doubling their fees I've introduced a £5 joining fee and an annual £5 membership fee due every January. Anyone joining October to December won't be expected to pay the annual fee for their first year. This goes towards paying the meetup subscription cost and any surplus may be used towards other group activities or donated to dog charities. No one will earn any income from the group. So if you enjoy a good hike with your dog, discovering new routes and would like to meet other friendly dogs and their owners then please join us. (The group is for dog owners only plus one guest and membership numbers limited so that there is a good chance of meeting the same people and dogs repeatedly to encourage friendships. Any inactive members, or those who repeatedly cancel, will be politely but firmly removed to make way for anyone who may be waiting to join!)

Previously I held Laughter Yoga sessions at The Inner Place in Ledbury but it was difficult to find so I have taken up the suggestion of someone who attended my November session to try Malvern Cube.

For those who are new to this concept,

Come and join me for an hour to experience Laughter Yoga – it may change the way you look at life - to bring in more joy, care, compassion and fun.

Laughter Yoga combines deep breathing (Pranayama) with role-playing everyday activities like greeting, making a milkshake, a mobile phone conversation and showing appreciation.  These activities are carried out with child-like playfulness to help people let go of inhibitions and enjoy the moment through laughter.  It can give an overwhelming feeling of joy and freedom together with a deep sense of community with the other people in the group session.

Laughter yoga enables people to enjoy good health and wellbeing and helps them cultivate a positive attitude to their lives.

The group was started 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.

Hello and welcome to 'HFGF'! ~ ~ We've always been a easy-going way to meet other friendly people for fun and a chat while improving your fitness on what's most often a 5-and-a-bit mile walk. Until earlier in 2020 we'd customarily get our fix of fresh air on a Tuesday morning beside canals and rivers, in parks and out in the countryside, sometimes with a tea or coffee along the way; plus there'd usually be optional extra time spent at a café or pub afterwards as a bonus!

We'd frequently have several friendly and enthusiastic dogs with us, accompanied by responsible owners to help them over/through/under stiles and keep them safe on farmland and roads. <br>

Our walks are usually within 40 minutes' drive from Worcester in all directions, and they're often closer. <br>

I look forward to the day when much of this free-wheeling friendly activity can resume and we can enjoy having you come and join us while we're out exploring the landscape and appreciating each other's company. But right now - after a long break for everyone's safety and a reassessment of what HFGF can offer - there's an opportunity for members to register that they'd like to join in with a flexibly arranged small-group walking meetup whenever a suitable one allows me to invite them. **My introductory message about it is copied for you below, and you can message me to request your link to register [as this is a public page].

~ I've always asked for a contribution on the day for my planning efforts and Meetup.com Organizer costs (previously just a £1, but I'll need to review that subject to the feelings of small-group participants). ~ <br>

** MESSAGE >> HFGF IS WAKING UP

↓

Dear long-suffering good people, <br>

<br>

It’s been several centuries since you’ve heard from me, and for that I really am sorry. <br>

Dealing with the extended absence of face-to-face contact with all you so very many most affable human beans turned out to be more disorientating than I ever anticipated, and planning ahead for HFGF really difficult. But if extraordinarily your patience hasn’t run out I’d like to offer you a new option for meeting up. Note that you can jump down from here to What You Actually Want To Know, or feast your eyes on … <br>

… The View From Here <br>

For several weeks leading into March (and just before the world went even more peculiar than it has been anyway for about the last four years) our meetups were clocking wondrous attendances in the twenties and trending upward. This despite my efforts to keep a lid on your enthusiasm by keeping you guessing when the walk might actually get under way, then if/how/when it might actually finish; devising routes through flooded byways, with memorable muds and notable gradients (often interestingly combined); incorporating one or two dignity-challenging obstacles to grapple upon/through/around; even ignoring the odd critical turn-off and getting us lost. Still folks insisted on turning up. <br>

Walking in a group of that size can be a hoot, but it’s also limiting with regard to things like parking, serial stile-clambering, and walker-herding. So I’d already been ruminating on my options …… when life as we knew it did a high-altitude back flip from which it still hasn’t actually landed. <br>

Since then some of you have met up with each other on your own initiative and according to your own judgment. Some haven’t had such an opportunity, and those in higher-risk groups haven’t had any choice in the matter. <br>

There's been a lot of muddle and debate around running meetups under changing rules and laws. <br>

I prefer to come at this from the other direction. Any perceived need to shoe-horn public meetups of more than six people into an exempted case under the current safety restrictions won’t change the fact that the virus doesn’t care about exemptions. <br>

The data coming from everyone currently tracking the virus seems clear and ominous to me; so right now I think we should apply the six person limit whenever possible as we interact with each other, all the more so from the point of view of someone responsible for instigating group activity. <br>

This of course exacerbates our group’s previous attendance-frenzy problem by making us accommodate fewer per meetup than we’d ideally like instead of too many. It is dreadfully frustrating. <br>

So … <br>

What You Actually Want To Know <br>

Given all the foregoing, I’m offering some small-group walking meetups <br>

• with five other HFGF members joining me at a time <br>

• potentially on any day of the week <br>

• prioritizing previous HFGF attendees, but including actively interested new members <br>

• with attendance by invitation calculated as helpfully and fairly as possible (by a process outlined below) <br>

According to the level of interest, some waiting will regrettably still have to be part of the system (though hopefully worth it). <br>

To whatever extent is practicable with the number of esteemed members who log your interest via the online form provided I‘d like to match meetups to participants and prioritise those members for an invitation. There are 13 simple answers needed + 4 optional extra bits. <br>

The balancing act will take into account time waiting to attend and personal availability and preferences, primarily by technical sorting, only then descending as far as necessary into magic and divination. <br>

I’ll need to work with some relevant information from you, with updates from you whenever you want to do so. For your reassurance I’m the only person who’ll see any of this, and it’ll be stored where only I can access it. <br>

Like so many of you I’d absolutely prefer to see everyone again a.s.a.p. Maybe we can move in that approximate direction within the sensible constraints for safety. Please message me [as this is a public page] to request your link to register. <br>

Thank you all for your support and general delightfulness.

Ian
