Stamford Meetup

Stamford, H7

Stamford Meetup
The club is a great way to meet people, make new friends and experience different activities. Maybe you are new to the area or perhaps one day you decide that you should be doing more with your leisure time. Well this is the perfect opportunity. We are fortunate that we have a number of excellent event hosts who voluntarily give up their free time to research and host events for our members to enjoy. We do ask that all of our members keep their RSVPs up to date. It only takes afew seconds to change an RSVP. No shows and very late cancellations cause hosts particular difficulties with managing events and may even dicourage them from hosting which would be a great shame. **MORE DETAILS ON THE GROUP** We are extremely fortunate to be based in Stamford, the "finest stone town in England" with its 600 listed buildings, five medieval churches and a vibrant social scene.  **IS THIS A SINGLES CLUB?** Stamford Meetup is **not** a singles club or dating group. We do ask that all of our members behave respectfully to everyone that they meet in the group as we do not want anyone to be made to feel uncomfortable at any of our events. The purpose of the group is for people to make friends and anyone who uses the website to send messages to strangers will be referred to the conduct group.     **CODE OF CONDUCT/BEHAVIOUR** We expect everybody to treat others with respect. We will refer any complaints to the conduct group for  investigation. **PHOTOGRAPH REQUIREMENT** To join/remain in the group you must have a recent photograph that clearly shows your face. A passport style picture would be ideal. This is very important because it helps us spot you at your first events and also increases the trust and security within the group.  **NAME REQUIREMENT** To join you must use your real name rather than a username. **Have Fun** John (Group Organiser)

North Northants Variety Group 40 Plus (VG40+)

Corby, J1

North Northants Variety Group 40 Plus (VG40+)
**𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙟𝙤𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥 - 𝙬𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡.** The Variety Group’s catchment area is centred around the towns of **Corby, Desborough, Kettering, Market Harborough, Rothwell, Thrapston, Uppingham** and surrounding villages for those **over 40 years old**, though these aren’t set in stone. The aim is to enable people with similar interests come together and have fun in the process. This is because there’s plenty of people out there that wouldn’t even contemplate or have the confidence to participate in some of these activities on their own. **You'll soon be made welcome**. We hope to give you the chance to join in and build new friendships, though we must emphasise that this **isn’t** a dating site. It doesn’t matter what your background is or what your job you do, it’s the people that count. Likewise we’re not here to be competitive as we want you to enjoy our events and come back again. For this group to work effectively and be beneficial for all, we need everyone to make an effort and join in and have some fun. All we ask in return from you is to be honest, respectful and be yourself, pay a nominal yearly fee and if you would display a facial photograph of yourself, so members can recognise each other. Please only RSVP for an event if you truly wish to take part. **We want this to be an interactive group.** If you’ve not attended a meet up for over three months, we’ll terminate your membership as clearly we’re not what you’re looking for. We're not looking for people who just keep joining countless groups, it's pointless! Similarly if you can't come to an event that you've RSVP'd please notify us as soon as possible as **three no shows will also terminate your membership**. Likewise any lurkers, harassment or unsavoury behaviour will not be tolerated either.

Bourne and Beyond

Bourne, H7

Bourne and Beyond
Curious about why you should join yet another local group? Firstly, we are a very welcoming, friendly and vibrant group run by an enthusiastic and local leadership team. Members are mostly from the surrounding areas and usually in their 40s, 50s and 60s. This doesn't exclude those from further afield or exclude those younger or older! You are welcome to join, if you have a link to the area, new to the area or perhaps are keen to make new friends or try something different for 2023. Secondly, our group's vision is to create interesting and enjoyable events that get us out of the house! With a greater focus on town rather than city activities, we love everything from good conversation relaxing in pubs to letting our hair down and dancing all night! We enjoy attending local gigs and festivals, organising well planned country walks and we especially love to try delicious food at local restaurants! Our main aim is to ensure that you find leaving the house, perhaps meeting a bunch of strangers for the first time, a worthwhile experience, as we have all been there! So, we encourage everyone to try us out and see for yourself that it's a mixed group of friendly people from all walks of life. As we are democratically run, we value all active members and we encourage everyone to share or suggest ideas for local (or further afield) events. If you are keen to expand your social group, or just feel you'd like to show your face now and again, you are welcome to join in (plus fees have been waived for 2023!).

Greater Social Life Union of Leicester

Leicester, H5

Greater Social Life Union of Leicester

The Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

There are many steps on your journey to greater social life. Here are the first steps for members of GSLU. After reading the rest of this introduction, you should read the 2021 book The Guide to Thumoslang. Many of our members put this new knowledge into practice as suggested by The GSLU Handbook.

When you spend more time in damage control mode and less time benefiting from your various relations, you waste a great deal of effort in your social life. Such a cost of opportunity keeps you from going at high speed towards your ideals, in creating your ideal self, and in actualizing what you truly want to become. This is likely due to a lack of social clarity, which is essential for internal conversations and vital for meaningful relationships.

Unintentionally created in 2017, accidentally discovered in 2018, and first taught in 2019, Thumoslang is the nomenclature for social clarity. It is used as a language for faster communication, be it in complex collaboration or difficult conversation. The first widespread use of social clarity has been predicted by Thumoslang pioneers to be just as important as the first widespread control of fire. All is explained by The Guide to Thumoslang, which is backed by The Dictionary of Thumoslang.

Again, the Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

Your ideals are the same as your ideal self, which means what you truly want to become. "Everything else is secondary," said Steve Jobs. Our group activities involve you with the first practical steps in the further development of your ideals, in keeping others from interfering with your life, and in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals. To be sure, if you lack social clarity in your internal conversations, face unwanted drama too often, are not sure of your social life or your path into the future, or have no friends and no groups available on a regular basis to help create your ideal self, this group is for you.

*** MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS ***

Our group activities bring you the following benefits:

Benefit 1 - Mastery of Relationships

As new GSLU members participate in the union's activities, they will quickly find themselves having noticeable enhancements in their social lives. The further they participate in GSLU activities, the faster they naturally acquire the mastery of relationships.

Benefit 2 - Best Friends for Your Ideals

Our group activities include practical steps in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals.

Benefit 3 - Internal Dialogues More Effective

Thumoslang is a set of terminology whose use is intended to benefit one's clarity in social situations. Consequently, Thumoslang allows you to have clearer communication with yourself in your mind.

Benefit 4 - Meaningful Relationships Much Stronger

Our members use Thumoslang to mend or strengthen their existing relationships, build new relations, and achieve greater social life.

Benefit 5 - Faster Actualization of Your Ideals

The actualization of your ideals goes faster when it regularly involves your best group, which is the small group of in-person, second-mind friends who are the best for the nurturing of your ideals. Our activities help you speed up the actualization of your ideals by reducing social roadblocks and increasing social shortcuts in your life.

Over 50’s Travel Buddies (Leicestershire)

Birstall, H5

Over 50’s Travel Buddies (Leicestershire)
A non-commercial meetup group for over 50’s (with a passion for travel) looking to find compatible companions to share experiences (& expenses) around the world. The aim is to give members the opportunity to meet, interact and share their travel aspirations with potential companions in a social setting prior to making any travel arrangements (in order to establish shared interests and compatibility). The meetup may organise short trips (abroad or at home, for a few days) open to all on a first come first served basis but the main aim will be to provide a forum to encourage and assist with helping members organising their own longer duration trips abroad where compatibility becomes very important. To be clear from the outset This meetup is non-commercial, so everyone (including the trip instigator/organiser) pays their way in full. No one is getting a free trip or making a profit. Joining the group and attending meetups does not guarantee finding compatible travelling companions and no one would be expected to arrange anything with anyone they don’t feel comfortable with (finding suitable travel buddies will be down to pure luck!) Open honesty is expected between members with regard to any mobility or health issues that may affect travel plans (or any lifestyle choices such as smoking or dietary restrictions etc that may impact on a potential travel companion). Integrity & reliability would be handy too! The organiser(s) of this group accept no liability for any injury or loss resulting from participation in the group activities and anyone attending any event or trip organised directly or indirectly by the group or its members will be expected to have their own suitable personal insurance cover in place.
