Come out and join Albany's Premier Women's Social Outings, Sports Pick-Up Games and Adventure Club! This Meetup group is intended to provide a Fun, Friendly and "Safe Space" for the audacious gal/women/female or non-binary person whom identifies as Straight, Fluid, Lesbian and Transgender or friends/supporters of LGBT; to connect with others and meet other like-minded women for social outings and activities, playing and participating in indoor/outdoor sports, recreational excursions and weekend escapades. Everything that this club offers wets even the persnickety pallet. There is something for every taste, be it playing recreational sports (volleyball, softball, soccer, basketball, rugby, badminton, kickball, ping pong and dodge-ball); attending sporting events (especially the Siena Saints and hockey games at Union College and RPI! Some other favorites are indoor rock-climbing, kayaking, mini golf, riding the go carts, ice skating, roller skating, paintball, "Golf Scrambles & Lobster Bake" outings, paint and sips, going to the shooting range and even horseback riding. During our Winter months we enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, ice skating and snowboarding. We even have daytime snowshoeing and for our gals whom are night owls you can attend our “Full moon 🌕 Snowshoeing event, followed by hot cocoa.” Moreover, during our Summer /Autumn months we like to hold events while you are able to enjoy the beautiful weather. Such events include; day excursions and/or weekend adventures such as hiking, kayaking, "Sunday Funday's," attending Concerts and County Fair's, white water rafting, Hunter Mountain's Zipline, and Adirondack Extreme Adventure Course! The latter are incredibly challenging, but exhilarating and simply spectacular! We even have Game Night, Movie Night and Comedy Night with a "Bite!"

Join us and be BOLD, but most of all....let's have some FUN!** **Just Us Girls Club Rules and Regulations:** **1.) ZERO tolerance for disrespecting members in any way, shape or form.** **2.) ZERO tolerance for any type of intimidation, bullying, negatively gossiping, as well as defaming a group member's character.** **3.) If you have RSVP'd for an event and are unable to let the organizer/hostess know, we understand that unexpected emergencies may happen, which would prevent you from finalizing your RSVP. However, there are those members whom have been consistently a "No Call / No Show" to various events. There is no reason that this should be happening, especially since the day before each event, not only does the Meetup website remind you of your meetup that you have RSVP'd to, but also the organizer and/or hostess will reach out via email to politely ask for a confirmation of your RSVP. There is a reason for this. The event hostess needs to have a final headcount to simply plan for the event. This often includes providing beverages, snacks and such. Please be mindful that someone else is counting on you.** **\*\*\*NOTE: The Management Team has determined that as of October 20, 2018, any member whom has finalized their RSVP for an event and their absence is independent from an emergency, which results in a "No Call / No Show," after the third time you will be removed from the group and will not be able to rejoin. We are all adults and it is a simple act of kindness to be respectful, polite and considerate. Thank you for your cooperation and we are all hoping this will not need to come to fruition.**

Capital Region Lesbians

Albany, NY

Who is this group for:

This is a lesbian meet-up group for women to get together for social activities, as well as community events.

Ages 21 and up.

What is the aim:

The aim is to facilitate members to meet new friends, expand social networks, and have a splendid gay ol’time during our social adventures.

Her story:

I know it is particularly hard to find lesbians to connect with in the Capital Region. Dating sites can be intimidating and weird and going out to a gay club to find a friend can be a daunting experience. It does not matter whether you are single or married, into the dating scene or into being a crazy cat-lady, a bookworm or a sports fan, newly out or new in town; this meet-up will be a great support for women to connect with others.

Social activities:

Picnics, paintball, bowling, movies, ice-skating, karaoke, dining, hikes, sporting events, rallies, art openings, drink and draws, yoga, and the list shall go on.

I envision a lesbian collective where we have lots of members suggesting lots of different events! If you have an idea for an event, suggest it. There are so many interesting things going on in our region. Let’s find out what they are and share them as a group.

I am looking forward to meeting you at our next meet-up!

Group policy:

- Be respectful when you RSVP, always be courteous and let us know if you change your mind.

- Zero tolerance for any member who disrespects others.

-Ages 21 and up
