SOUTH SHORE BLUES & BREWS !

Plymouth, MA

SOUTH SHORE BLUES & BREWS !

   
OUR GROUP NAME CAPTURES OUR MISSION, ALONG WITH A MENU OF FEATURED EVENTS & ACTIVITIES.  


OUR FOCUS is generally geared toward active 40+ years old and beyond.  Single, divorced, widowed, married, coupled, men & women all welcome.  Many in our group are "single" often by way of various unplanned life occurrences.  We are particularly sensitive to this when planning & welcoming all to events.

UNPRETENTIOUS SOCIALIZING & EXPERIENCES are a very important part of everyone's life, including and especially those in the broad category of "SINGLE".


MAXIMUM TOTAL MEMBERSHIP for this group is capped at 500 ACTIVE MEMBERS.

It's found that with larger groups, typically only 5%-10% are actually "active" in EVER attending an event. Only 15% access those sites quarterly and the overwhelming majority NEVER access the site even once in a year. So the inflated memberships accumulated of the seemingly larger groups are vastly meaningless. Our focus is upon the active. 


POSTED EVENTS take place as time & energy allows.  As such, we'll focus upon a variety of active events that make a difference & enrich our lives, as well as those who's path's we cross.

MOST POSTED EVENTS generally occur within the South Shore & Cape Cod region.  Essentially, the southeastern MA triangle of;  Quincy  -  Cape Cod  -  New Bedford


NO CURRENT MEMBERSHIP FEE  -  To maintain "active" status, we encourage your regular participation.  Generally speaking, attending at least one or two meetup activities over a six-month period of time is a good minimum barometer.  Our gatherings rely upon the energy each person brings us. There is an ebb & flow with today's active schedules, however after a year or so of inactivity, our system is programmed such to purge "non-active" members. If this occurs, you can always re-join if you still have an interest.

 
FOR EASE OF MEMBERSHIP management, security, better identify & welcome you at events, we ask you to maintain a periodically updated profile photo.  PLEASE - NO CHILDREN, GROUP SHOTS, LANDSCAPE, SUNGLASSES, OVERSIZED HATS, PET PHOTOS, ETC.  JUST YOU IN A CLEAR PHOTO.  No photo - No membership.

FIVE SIMPLE QUESTIONS are asked as part of becoming a member. Your reply is required for no other reason than to best determine events of interest and focus.

Friends of Myles Standish State Forest Meetup Group

Carver, MA

Friends of Myles Standish State Forest Meetup Group
Founded in 2007, the Friends of Myles Standish State Forest have been holding volunteer-led group hikes and birding events at various locations in and around the vast Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth and Carver, Massachusetts. Myles Standish SF is the size of the island of Manhattan, covering more than 12,400 acres (or 25 square miles) with **many dozens of miles of hiking and bicycle trails** allowing you to explore its 16 pristine ponds, four major campground areas, two boy scout camps and wildlife management areas. Few people have seen every corner of it. ![](https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/8/e/b/600_454475051.jpeg) The park is split between sections of Plymouth and Carver. Minutes from Route 3 or Route 495, you have probably passed within a few miles recently. Why not join us to give it a try? The Friends have been around for 15 years. We celebrated the 100th anniversary of the park's founding in 2016 and our 15th annual Family Fishing Derby in 2022.  ![](https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/3/d/c/600_454445084.jpeg) For most of the year, we have a regular group that goes out hiking on weekday mornings. (Right now the group goes out on Thursday.) We also have a group that goes out with their dogs on many Sundays. Saturday and Sunday hikes are offered whenever we have leaders available. Bird watching and other bird support activities are scheduled when the birds allow. We are approaching our 2000th Meetup since our group started using Meetup in 2009. It just helps people get together and allows a little flexibility in case the weather decides not to cooperate. Clearly, a lot of people are having fun and we hope you will join us soon. ![](https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/0/2/a/event_210761002.jpeg) Members of the Friends are also currently working on various stewardship projects such as: **Trail Maintenance**\- Together with the state\, we have helped to maintain miles of trails in the forest\. Sometimes we go out with loppers\. Other times\, we have rented equipment for the state workers to use in clearing and leveling some of the trails\. \(We aren't allowed to use power equipment ourselves in the forest\.\) In 2018\, we repaired two of the boardwalks around the East Head Reservoir\. It took hundreds of hours of volunteer time and we spent over $3500 on the repairs\. We are proud of what we accomplished\. **Native Bird Support**\- A group of volunteers cleans and monitors about 40 bluebird boxes at various locations throughout the forest\. These boxes are visited weekly during the nesting season and all activity is tracked and reported\. Watch Meetup for notices about when training and setup activities are scheduled\. \(Typically in late March/ early April\.\) **Native Plant Support-** The Friends have helped to maintain native plant gardens at headquarters and at other visible locations in the forest. **Annual Fishing Derby-** For 15 years, the Friends have held a Family Fishing Event on the last Saturday of September. Together with MassWildlife and the DCR, we provide fishing tackle, bait, instruction and prizes to hundreds of area families. Visit the [Friends of Myles Standish web page](http://www.friendsmssf.com/) to find out more about these activities. While there, please consider a membership, which is only $10, to support them. (This is different than signing up on Meetup. Registering on the Meetup is free. Membership in the Friends is completely optional.) This Meetup Group is sponsored by the Friends of Myles Standish State Forest (FMSSF). a volunteer group charity organization founded in 2007. We are private individuals who want to bring interesting and fun hikes, bird-watching programs and other events for all ages to Myles Standish State Forest, the largest state forest in eastern Massachusetts-- a park as big as many of the towns that surround it. ![](https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/a/a/c/event_112603692.jpeg) ![](https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/1/a/2/event_108196802.jpeg) This group is not sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) or the State of Massachusetts. We often work closely with the DCR on clearing trails and on our annual fishing derby and many other projects but if you have an issue with the park, please address it to the state. (You can copy us. We like to know about such things and we do what we can to help focus the attention of the State on what we see as the bigger issues with the park.) All ages are welcome on our hikes as long as parents/guardians are with any younger hikers. Friendly leashed dogs are welcome on most hikes. If you love hiking or birding you will discover that MSSF has some great places to explore. The pine barrens of Myles Standish are unique and beautiful. They are worth a visit, any day of the week, 365 days a year. What are you waiting for? Again, please consider joining our Friends group. Basic membership is only $10 per year. Visit the [Friends of Myles Standish web page](http://www.friendsmssf.com/) to find out more about us.

BURGERS & BREWS !

Plymouth, MA

BURGERS & BREWS !


BURGERS & BREWS        Simple & Straight Forward...


The place for active, single, divorced, and/or widowed men 40+ years of age to connect for socializing and doing the kind of stuff that guys just plain like to do.  Geographically, most events will generally occur in the southeastern MA triangle;  Braintree  -  Cape Cod  -  New Bedford.


Societal and/or life changes, along with relationship dynamics challenge many of us men to re-tool and maybe even re-invent ourselves, our place, and purpose.  We very much enjoy & want women in our lives.  However there is also a healthy need for space away from the gal pals and simply take a breath in navigating the minefield itself, and by socializing & simply doing what guys like to do, free of interference & judgement.

An entire active menu ranging from happy hours, golfing, boating, hiking, fishing, biking, distillery/brewery tours, hobbies, sports, special interests.  Just about anything of social interest is in play.  It's a time for the guys to be guys and to share, stretch and develop new interests & buddies.

Burgers & Brews is also a place to share ideas & to build a reliable resource of contacts & support.  And above all, have fun...!


For ease of member management, security, better identify & welcome you at events, please maintain an updated, clear profile photo. This is essential.  No children, group, landscape, sunglasses, hats, pet dogs, etc. in the photo. They are all very lovely - but please...  just you...


And yes..., we hang out periodically, if not regularly for a burger & brew...
