Welcome to LOVE OUTDOORS Active and Social

We welcome people who love being active in the outdoors and socialising with like-minded people. If you are stuck in the office all week and would love to get out more and explore the countryside then this group is perfect for you.

OUR ACTIVITIES

We organise walks of varying length and difficulty in Surrey and the surrounding counties.

We run half day and full day walks, ranging from easy, leisurely walks in parks and along tow paths, to more challenging walks the rural and spectacular Hills of Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and beyond.

We occasionally run other outdoor and indoor activities too.

The focus for LOVE OUTDOORS is on enjoyment!! Getting out in nature, being active meeting new friends and catching up with old ones. We also run occasional social activities and meetups where you can leave your hiking boots at home and relax over a drink or meal.

We look forward to welcoming you to an event very soon.

Warmest regards

Rob & Emily

Welcome to this Meetup group, for people who live in Luton, Dunstable and the surrounding areas, who’d like to take part in social activities on a regular basis, meet new friends and lead an active social life. Our typical members range in age from 20s to 60s, but there are no constraints on age (as long as you’re over 18)! We aim to discover unique and unusual local activities and events, together with regular, more traditional Meetups like meals, theatre trips, live music and walks. Our aim is to create a balanced social calendar for single people and couples alike :-)   Most of our events take place in the three counties but sometimes we venture further afield to London.   Our walks are led at a decent pace but we don’t frantically march you from start to finish; our emphasis is more on being sociable rather than just clocking up the maximum distance in the minimum time. We like to be able to maintain a conversation as we walk and you won’t get left behind if you stop to tie your shoelace! Previous Meetups have included a Mad Hatters Tea Party, a Ukulele Jam, a Butterfly Walk, Trampolining, a Narrow Boat Cruise and many more.   We’re always looking for new ideas, so please share with us your thoughts for future events.     PROFILE PHOTO To join this group, you must be easily recognisable from your profile photo. Please note we can’t accept photos from linked social media accounts if your face is not clearly visible. MEMBERSHIP DONATION We are asking members to make a voluntary membership contribution – for example a few pounds per year - to cover the cost of having this group on the Meetup site. (Sadly it’s not a free service to the Organisers!) This can be done by PayPal to: **lutondunstableactivities@gmail.com** Please choose the option for paying friends & family, not a business, so no PayPal fees are deducted. ... or in person when you attend an event. (PS We don't read any emails sent to that Gmail address, it's just for PayPal!) Your member donation also covers your membership of our sister group on Meetup – Luton Cineworld Cinema Lovers, so you can head over to join that group too if you enjoy films! ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR POLICY This group has an Acceptable Behaviour Policy. Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with it. The policy can be seen here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U_FoXKK3c6PS6kg7-FD1AFr1J_bOYXhIgj9vScGQkPg/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U_FoXKK3c6PS6kg7-FD1AFr1J_bOYXhIgj9vScGQkPg/edit?usp=sharing) In short, we don’t tolerate harassing behaviour towards other members and such behaviour may lead to your removal from the group.   We also ask you to bear in mind that this is neither a dating site nor a mental health support group. Although there are many wonderful Meetup groups dedicated to these two purposes, our group is about friendship, fun and light-hearted conversation.   People come to our events to escape the stresses and strains of their daily life rather than examine and discuss them at length. Whilst numerous romances have actually blossomed from people meeting at our events, our members are unlikely to respond favourably if you just start randomly messaging them through the site with your best chat up lines!     ATTENDANCE OF EVENTS   In addition, we ask that all members keep in mind the fact that our Event Organisers are hosting their events completely voluntarily, in their own time and we need to make the events as straightforward as possible for them to run!   The absolute basic requirement of all members is therefore to ensure that you keep your RSVPs up to date. If you put your name down to attend an event and later cannot make it, please either change your RSVP to ‘No’ ahead of the event or if the event has already started, write a comment in the event to let the host know you are no longer coming.   Occasionally certain events where reservations have been made at venues will require a non-refundable deposit for this reason.   You may be removed from the group for repeated “No Shows” or last minute drop outs. RISK DISCLAIMER Please note that all members take part in all activities solely at their own risk should any personal loss, accident, illness or physical injury occur during an event. RECEIVING OUR EVENT NOTIFICATIONS Please check your Profile settings to ensure you’re opted in to receive emails from our Organiser. We only send occasional emails regarding important communications. Meetup will also email you to notify you when we list new events. Having problems receiving our emails?

Welcome to our Meetup group. It's for people who’d like to take part in social activities on a regular basis, meet new friends and lead an active social life. We aim to discover unique and unusual local activities and events, together with regular, more traditional Meetups like pub nights, meals, cinema/theatre, live music, semi-guided walks etc. Our aim is to compliment activities to your own social calendars. We welcome new ideas and always encourage members to share with us your thoughts for future events. Some events will be free and some we ask members make a small contribution to help cover Meetup costs. (Sadly it’s not a free service to the Organisers!) In addition, we ask that all members keep in mind the fact that our Event Organisers are hosting their events completely voluntarily, in their own time and we need to make the events as straightforward as possible for them to run. The absolute basic requirement of all members is therefore to ensure that you keep your RSVPs up to date. If you put your name down to attend an event and later cannot make it, you need to be fair to all parties involved and click on ‘Edit your RSVP’ to ‘Not going’ ahead of the event. Try not to leave it to the last minute if possible as there will quite often be people on a waiting list wanting to go, should a place become available. The most important thing about this group is to feel safe, relaxed, included and above all, have fun 😇 Risk Disclaimer: Please note that all members take part in all activities solely at their own risk, should any personal loss, accident, illness or physical injury occur during an event.

Here's a now-not-so-novel (!) idea: Inspired by the Silent Book Club phenomenon (https://silentbook.club), bring along your current read of choice, any genre and any format (whether physical books, e-books, or audiobooks). There is NO assigned reading and absolutely NO deadlines to finish a book! We meet up in an easily accessible space in St Albans town centre, such as the local Waterstones, or Courtroom cafe or St Albans public library, and maybe even outdoors occasionally, weather permitting (probably three times a year). Depending on our location, we can order food or drinks and discuss our planned reads for a few minutes. Then, at a set time, it's time to immerse ourselves in 1+ hour of quiet, uninterrupted reading. At the end we can decide to share what we've been reading (or not) - and then we can choose to stay back at the end of our meetup (or not)! The simple aim of this silent book club is not to have a didactic or structured agenda but to share our love of reading amongst friends in a chilled space together, and on a monthly basis (for now). Suggestions for times and dates will be welcomed - please drop me a message or post a comment below! Our inaugural session is scheduled for the last Sunday of September 2024 in the courtroom cafe of St Albans Museum + Gallery - and once we find our feet, we will hopefully aim to organise a mix of sessions on different days of the week, using a variety of public spaces. If you would also like to co-organise sessions from time to time, please message me directly! NB: I also run a parallel stationery meetup group that focuses on creative journalling and that usually involves lots of chatting and socialising, but THIS group is intended to be entirely separate and there will not be any overlap of activities with that group - and of course you are absolutely welcome to join both! I really look forward to seeing you real soon :)

Embrace Your Masculinity is a personal development tribe for men who are determined to lead lives of meaning, purpose and growth. For those on this journey, building close friendships with other men who are also passionate about self-development is essential for moving forwards in life and celebrating positive masculinity.   In current times, meeting likeminded individuals who have a positive, growth focussed mindset is increasingly challenging. Fortunately, if you are looking to form genuine connections with other men who are also seeking a higher purpose, you have come to the right place. In this group, we will discuss topics such as what it means to be a man, how life’s challenges can be re-framed as opportunities and identifying ways in which we can embrace and develop our masculinity.   Based around London, the group also organises in-person activities to help develop our masculine values and form connections with other men. These activities include hikes, sports activities and camping trips. Begin the journey of embracing your masculinity by joining today.

To meet local ladies who enjoy a glass of wine, dinner or walks! Can also branch out and do some more cultured activities if we feel compelled!

This group is open to ladies who want to meet other gals in the local area. Events usually take place in St Albans & occasionally other locations, might as well take advantage of the great connection into London from St.Albans. This is a great chance to meet like minded women, make friends & enjoy group activities. I haven’t set an age range as I don’t want to discriminate & group members are more than welcome to host brunches, lunches, dinners, walks & nights out 💃🥂🎉
