Enjoy meeting new people and making friends while outdoors, this group is for you! Centered on the NH seacoast with a variety of outdoor activities. Join us and meet fun engaging people in a relaxed environment.

Hi all! My intention is for this to be a very friendly group of people (at least nearing 40 if not over) who love to do local things outdoors and fun activities indoors. I've lived in this county for the better part of 20 years and am finding there's lots to EXPLORE right here! Hiking the White Mountains is great, but this group will provide many options closer to home for outdoor fun. We'll have occasional distant excursions as well though. During the colder months, we'll do lots of active indoor activities too! Bring your sense of adventure as this will be MY first time doing some of these walks/hikes!  And since I have a deep intellectual side, I'd also like to plan some discussions on topics of interest like or maybe even have guest speakers... A note on the current state of meetup affairs as it compares to R.O.A.M.:  Because I'm concerned about the impact on the environment of bringing a huge group of people on a nature trail and because I feel huge groups negatively impact the experience of others who are trying to enjoy the beauty and quiet of the outdoors, our groups are limited to 20-25 people.  While Mountain National Forest Rules recommend all groups be limited to 10 people and and require the limitation in designated "wilderness" areas. We also will never charge annual dues or membership fees, claiming that it helps with the cost of running a meetup group (seriously...collecting a $15 annual fee from thousands of members is a money making venture, not a group of friends getting together).  This groups operates in the original spirit of meetup. We do this because we love to and want to share it! Please join if Rockingham County destinations are convenient for you, you love friendly people and you love to have fun!  

Let's get together to experience arts and educational activities and events (eg. theater, films, music, museums). We can also read and discuss articles and books about important issues in our communities, the US and the world.

Anyone interested in exploring your own culture, the culture of others, discovering new places, meeting new people and having fun times and discussions about serious issues?

This is for girls in the Seacoast NH area in their twenties in need of some gal pals! We’ll do all sorts of events for interests of all kind including outdoor activities, nightlife, going out to eat, brunches, movie nights, game nights, you name it! Join the Facebook group as well if interested

Welcome to "Out and About" This group is for single or married people who want to have fun! We will be going on walks, hikes, and any outdoor activities. We are looking for members who would like to become event organizer. Just le me know! Some of our events will be cross linked with other meetup groups in the area!

Do you enjoy weekday outdoor activities? Skiing, Biking, etc? Initially, this group will be to arrange some last-minute single-day or multi-day outings to ski resorts, such as Gunstock and the White Mountains. When the weather forecast and the snow conditions are good, I will announce an outing. If we get two or more participants, we can carpool from Dover or Portsmouth to the southern edge mountain. Open to anyone who is retired or otherwise available on weekdays.

WELCOME, and thank you for stopping by.

Whether you're a seasoned birdwatcher or just starting out, join us for meetups focused on bird identification, learning about wild birds, and enjoying nature together.

This group is for anyone in their 20s, 30s, or 40s (must be 21+) who is interested in hiking, regardless of experience. The reason for the age restriction is to encourage younger adults to get out and enjoy the outdoors and make friends! For this reason, we mostly do easy to moderate difficulty hikes, but we occasionally do some more challenging hikes and camping trips for those interested and able. Typically (though not always), we will go out after each hike to a brewery or pub for food and beer. Often, members will bring beer up with them to enjoy and/or share at the top. All members are encouraged to post their own events here. Members who host events will have their dues waived. Events can be hikes, other outdoor excursions, visits to breweries, brewfests, parties, etc. If you are not sure if people would be interested in your idea, feel free to use the Discussion feature to ask! When you join, you will have a 6 month free trial before you are required to pay dues ($10 per year). I will send out an e-mail reminder before this happens. If you host at least one event for the group, you will never owe any dues. Our dues help pay for the annual Meetup organizer fees, and it is a way to encourage active memberships and event organizers (which means more fun events!). Any leftover money will be used for occasional meetup socials and/or parties. And beer! Rules for Membership: 1\. Treat everyone with respect\. 2\. Keep your RSVPs up\-to\-date if your plans change\, and please message your event host if you will be late\. We do not officially have a "no\-show" policy\, but we do keep track of no shows\, and if it becomes a problem\, you will be spoken to\. 3\. Be safe\! Make sure you are in good physical condition to handle the difficulty of the hike\, wear proper footwear\, bring water\, appropriate clothing for the weather\, and read event descriptions for other suggestions of equipment to bring\. You are responsible for your own safety\!

***Connecting those interested in speaking German, whether novice or native, and those with an interest in German culture, this meetup group offers various opportunities.  Small group activities are posted for the member to attend as well as the occasional larger public events.*** This meetup was established in 2010 in the Portsmouth area, but has grown to include southern NH and ME as well as northern MA members.  As such, the regular activities are concentrated in the Seacoast area of those states, but meetups can be announced for various locations - from eastern NH to Boston, MA. We are a member-driven group.  If you have an activity you wish to host, contact an organizer to have your event posted. Regular meetups occur in Portsmouth, NH.

Are you new in town? Not a native New Hampshire-ite? Are you lifelong local who likes meeting new people with different perspectives? Please join us! This Meetup was started for New Hampshire transplants. Now the group is a mix of those newly arrived, transplants who have been here for years, and lifelong locals who enjoy the mix. The goal of this group is to create an environment for making new friends and creating new experiences for those making their home in and around Seacoast New Hampshire. We enjoy trivia competitions, sunrises at the ocean, trips on walking trails, historical activities, karaoke, brunch featuring live music, movies, bingo, museum adventures, picnics and more! Never hesitate to offer up a suggestion for an activity to your organizers!

Trailblazers was formed as a result of unmarried people looking for a singles social group involved in a variety of fun activities. Trailblazers provide a wide range of activities for single adults as well as opportunities to meet new friends. It also gives a sense of community and comradery. The club is not a dating service however. Trailblazers has no political or religious orientations. The club is propelled by member involvement at the monthly meetings and other events. The Trailblazers can be found hamming it up at the zoo, attending murder mysteries, bowling, or just holding serious discussions about topics of interest. They hold picnics at least four times a year, and have elaborate parties, some in masquerade. Trailblazers isn't a singles club for those who like to meet once a month for a meal and then go home to watch the early evening news. It's an Adventurous Outing Club for Singles who enjoy traveling to places, hiking mountains, kayaking in the surf, sailing, skiing, etc . Trailblazers lives up to the name, blazing trails through camp-outs in state parks, murder mystery parties, to new friendships for people of every age. ## What we're about Group Rules: \- Membership fees are $5 for the year\, Members who regularly volunteer to organize events will be exempt\. \- We usually have a long waiting list so please make sure to update your RSVP if you are not going to attend\, Members with repeated last minute cancellation will be removed from the Group\. \- We comply with all State\, Town or Restaurant regulations when it comes to COVID\, please make sure you are Vaccinated and wear your mask when prompted or required\.
