***Leominster Over 40+ Friends and More!***

Leominster, MA

***Leominster Over 40+ Friends and More!***
We are a fun group. You can find us dancing away after a meal of Chinese at Chopsticks. We do some hiking, karaoke, live music, local community gatherings, line dancing lessons and more. We are open to trying new things. We have a book club, a trivia night, and various other events to keep up young! This goal of this group is to meet new friends and have fun. If you are interested in someone romantically, send them a DM and date them outside of the group. Nobody should feel uncomfortable at an event. To be in this group, you must be able to commit to respecting all people in the group, and be open and welcoming to our members. In our group, we do not discuss politics or other contentious topics as we are among mixed company. You should ONLY sign up for events you plan to attend and if you have a pattern of signing up and cancelling at the last minute, the leadership team will bring that to your attention. You are allowed one "freebee" no-show. You will receive a warning. If you are a no-show again, you will be removed from the group without a refund on dues. This is the only way to try to provide as much fair opportunity to attend events. Come hang out with us! We're cool! :) Chrissy and Lisa \*\*IMPORTANT\*\*\* For the safety of our members, you must have an accurate and clear photo of yourself as your profile picture. Any member who joins without a photo representative of themselves will be removed within 24 hours. Thank you for helping to ensure the safety and well-being of all here.

North Central MA-Southern NH Hiking Group

Leominster, MA

North Central MA-Southern NH Hiking Group
*PLEASE READ - TO ALL MEMBERS: For safety reasons, your profile should have a clear and current photo of your human self (face) so that event hosts can recognize you when you arrive at an event. If it does not, your profile will get deleted.* *Also note that if your profile indicates that you have remained inactive (meaning, not attending an event) for a period of six (6) months, your profile will be removed from this group. So sign up and attend an event soon!* With that stuff out of the way, welcome to a very active and social MeetUp group!! Here you will find local people who are interested in hiking (in all seasons) and other activities for fun and fitness. We also cycle (on and off road), snowshoe, kayak, and cross country ski. We explore urban areas (large and small), visit museums, meet for dinner, go dancing, hear live music, and take in a movie once in a while. This group is a lot of fun, friendly, and always open to new ideas for meetups and new places to explore. We consider the regions originally intended, which are north central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, but we venture out now and then to lands beyond our region. The difficulty of this group's hikes is normally set by the event host(s) to allow the maximum amount of participation for the maximum amount of members. Generally, a moderate pace of approximately 2 mph should be expected on most hikes. When hikes are planned that are more difficult, such as Mount Monadnock, the description of the meet-up will include this fact. Our goal is to enjoy the outdoors while meeting people interested in the same - not to conquer the mountains. Our hikes are also paced to keep everyone in the group more or less together throughout the entire hike. Weather is obviously a major factor in any of our hikes. We try not to cancel meet-ups for light rain - we are outdoors after all. However, in the case of heavy rain and/or lightning, we'll try to cancel at least 24 hours ahead of time. The best advice is to check your email the morning of a meet-up for any cancellations. ***Please consider contributing to help support this wonderful group. Funds are used to offset the yearly dues for this MeetUp group. You can send a check, made payable to "MeetUp," to Tamara Huston, 182 Middle Street, Leominster, MA 01453.*** **A note about conduct**: We are a group of like-minded people who enjoy getting together (for hiking mostly). Although members often develop friendships (and sometimes relationships) outside of the group, Meetup.com and the North Central MA/Southern NH Hiking group are not designed primarily to encourage dating or unwanted romantic attention. It's very important that all members of the group feel welcome on all of our events (not just the hikes). So please, respect the boundaries of your fellow adventurers. It's appropriate to contact someone through the Meetup site, or through email or phone, information that the member has given you, but encroaching beyond a person's comfort level is inappropriate. People who cross the line after being warned will be excluded from the group. *You do not need to RSVP "no" to an event unless you are changing your rsvp from a "yes" to a "no."* *Anyone soliciting products or services through this group without the organizers' permission will be removed from the group immediately. To discourage this kind of behavior, I ask that group members do not buy any products or services from anyone trying to sell them through this group or this website.* If you have any questions or concerns about this MeetUp group, please contact any of the event organizers listed in the left hand column of the webpage. Thank you, Tamara Meetup has changed our email address to: [north-central-ma-southern-nh-hiking-group-announce@messages.meetup.com](mailto:north-central-ma-southern-nh-hiking-group-announce@messages.meetup.com) == Legal Stuff === While event hosts attempt to plan events that will work for everyone and will try to anticipate and head off problems, you should not participate in hiking events if you would not be able to safely complete the described hike on your own. For all group hikes, think of your meetup organizer as fulfilling a social function in getting like minded people together. Please always review the event descriptions carefully. Learning about the terrain, conditions, local weather and your equipment before you start *is your responsibility*. Any attempts to increase the comfort and safety of events should not lead you to believe that event hosts are taking responsibility for your safety. By signing up for events, you are indicating that you are an adult who has the skills and ability to safely complete the described hike. Do not RSVP yes if this is not the case, as we will be relying on your judgment of your skills and ability. To read more about hiking safety, check out hikeSafe.com.

Welcome to The Walking Group! Join us on visits to scenic rail trails, conservation lands, parks, beaches, and more. Participation is open to all. The goal of this group is to enjoy the outdoors, exercise, and make new friends. By signing up for this event you agree to abide by the following rules: * **Only sign up if you are sure you will be attending.** **If you sign up for an event but will not be attending, change your response ASAP.** Cancellations and no-shows make it difficult for the volunteers to continue organizing events. * Due to our large group size, waitlists are often necessary for parking and/or safety issues.

Short Hikes Hiking Group

Leominster, MA

Short Hikes Hiking Group
Updated 10/30/2022 - PLEASE READ - TO ALL MEMBERS: For safety reasons, your profile should have a current photo of your human face/self so that I can recognize you when you arrive at an event.  If it does not, I will ask you to replace it. I understand there may be circumstances where you may be unable to post a photo. If so, let me know. Before you take photos of anyone in the group, please ask their permission. This is a group for anyone interested in hikes, walking, bicycling, and any other activities that the organizers may offer. Hikes are typically under 5 miles in length. All skill levels are welcome. I like to meander and explore and while I try to plan ahead, due to my schedule, some of the activities may be at new destinations for all of us. I want to explore many beautiful places in Massachusetts (and beyond) that offer fun activities with a driving distance typically one hour or two hours from Central Massachusetts. Also note that if your profile indicates that you have remained inactive (meaning, not attending an event) for a period of one year, your profile will be removed from this group. So sign up and attend an event soon! No shows for three activities within three months will be removed from the group. Weather is obviously a major factor in any of the hikes. I try not to cancel meet-ups for light rain - we are outdoors after all. However, in the case of heavy rain and/or lightning, or hazardous winter weather, I'll try to cancel at least 24 hours ahead of time. The best advice is to check your email the morning of a meet-up for any cancellations. A note about conduct: We are a group of like-minded people who enjoy getting together (for hiking mostly).

Striving for Success in Southern New Hampshire

Nashua, NH

Do you set high goals for yourself? Have you ever thought of, or have you already created your own business? Are you striving to achieve your life’s purpose and create a legacy? If you answered yes to any of these then this meetup group is for you .

Being successful or becoming successful is challenging but it should not be a chore, so let’s add a bit of fun along with an additional support team to our adventure. My vision is for us to progress through serious and fun activities which would consist of (a) formal meetings over dinner or via a house party’s (virtual/non-virtual) with guest speakers, providing each of us the opportunity to address and learn from the guest and group; and (b) informal meetings consisting of outdoor activities – hiking/biking, visiting museums or historical locations (to see what drove others to pursue their life’s passion ultimately improving our lives). It is my hope that through these activities we will have the opportunity to talk to each other on a one on one basis subsequently speeding up our respective successes.

My ultimate goal is to develop a Southern New Hampshire Peer Group of passion driven people who encourage and challenge each to go outside their comfort zone to become their best selves.

But Most of All Let’s Meet Up to Celebrate Ourselves

And as always, the necessary details:

To join please upload a clearly identifiable picture of yourself to your profile. Organizers and members must be able to recognize you for safety reasons. Please also include your first name in your profile. An Alias is not acceptable for safety reasons.

As a condition of attending any activity you agree to release, hold harmless, and indemnify the organizer(s) and all members of the group from any and all claims for property damage, injury, illness, and/or death, including those caused by negligence and/or other reasons, including infectious disease. You also agree to assume all risk associated with any activity and agree to know and follow the Hiker Responsibility Code described at www.hikesafe.com (http://www.hikesafe.com/). There is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 and other disease in any public place where other people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and even death. By voluntarily participating in an event you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 or other communicable disease.

I look forward to meeting you as we move forward in our purpose driven lives.

ABBA (Active Baby Boomer Adventurers)

Nashua, NH

ABBA (Active Baby Boomer Adventurers)

This group has a simple theme, it’s for adults who like meeting other people and enjoy indoor and outside activities. 

Who should join? Anyone who is interested in hosting and/or participating in fun, social activities such as hiking, walking, dancing, bowling, week-end get aways, cruises, biking, movies, trips, cards, dominoes, dining out, potluck dinners, board games, etc. 

We encourage members to propose events as well as host events. If you offer up an idea with a date, you are committing to see the idea through by organizing, hosting, answering questions, and attending. 

You may have noticed that this is not an open Meetup group, meaning that only members can actually see who else is in the group and see the specifics of our activities. Membership dues are $10.00/year/person. Once your membership has been approved and you have paid the yearly dues, you'll have full access to our group. If you don't like making payments online, you can always email the organizer and you will be provided a snail mail address to mail a check.

Members in this group hail from the Concord, Manchester and Nashua areas. We would like to see some members join from other parts of New Hampshire as well. 

Please post a photo of yourself so we will know you at the Meetups! Email us if you have any questions. We hope to see you at an activity soon! 

The fine print: 

Guests: Guests are permitted to attend one event. After that, if the guest wishes to attend another event, they need to become a member of this Meet Up group and pay the yearly dues. The yearly dues will help defray the costs of maintaining our Meetup website and organizers expenses. Any excess funds will be used for the benefit of the group. 

Removal: The organizer(s) retains the right to remove members or refuse membership to anyone. Should removal from the group become necessary, no dues or fees will be returned, if applicable. 

Disclaimer: When signing up for Meetup.com, all members of Meetup must agree to their Terms of Service. The Meetup.com ToS 6.2 specifically releases the Organizer and Assistant Organizers from any liability related to incidents that occur at Meetup gatherings. During Meetup events, everyone is responsible for his or herself. The organizer and/or assistant organizers are not responsible for the safety of the participants. By joining the ABBA Group, you acknowledge this.
