Sports & Hobbies groups near Peterborough, C3

A few people that will meet up talk about horror films old and upcoming and then also go and watch some horror films, possibly even have horror movie nights and marathons.

Hi everyone, This group is for people in the Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire area (e.g. Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough, Northampton, Oakham, Stamford, Leicester etc.) and nearby/surrounding areas of the East Midlands (including Nottingham and Derby) who would like to play racket sports (badminton, squash and table tennis) regularly on a casual and leisure basis. Sessions could be arranged as one-to-one games or as a group setting between members. Regardless whether you are new to playing squash, badminton and/or table tennis, and would like to try out these sports for the first time, or are an experienced player, everyone is welcome. On joining the group, please introduce yourself, any experience you have with playing any of the mentioned racket sports (whether your are new or experienced player), your general interests and any other sports that you enjoy playing etc. With playing sports together, and having shared and common interests, this group is also a good opportunity and place for people to socialise and meet new people, and also make new friends. Locations and times/days for arranging sports sessions can be arranged on an individual and group basis, but these can be post on the main group site. Best Wishes, Mark

Welcome to the Peterborough Walking Meetup Group. We are a friendly and amiable group of individuals who enjoy walking in our beautiful countryside. Many people are discovering the benefits of walking, from improving their physical and mental health, building overall fitness and meeting new people. If this is you, why not consider joining our group?  Walks take place throughout the week depending on the availability of our walk organisers, but generally take place most Saturdays where we walk more locally. On other days walks can be further afield and for a longer duration and mileage, and involve more hills. Occasionally we venture further afield to the Peak District, Wales, the Malvern Hills, etc where the walks are more challenging.  We walk at an average pace of some 2.5 mph, which should be manageable by most. Nonetheless, members will need to have a reasonable level of fitness given the distances walked (usually in the region of 8-9 miles), and the type of terrain covered which can be uneven and often slightly hilly. Your walk organiser will advise if there are any special considerations you need to be aware of, such as steep hills. However, if you have any doubt regarding your fitness please speak to your GP.  We normally stop for a short break, so for any walk do bring a packed lunch, drinks, etc. Also, remember that it is important to stay hydrated, so do ensure you bring plenty of water to keep you going, particularly if the weather is warm.  We would like our group to be fun and friendly and welcoming to all. However it is important to set some ground rules to manage expectations and ensure common courtesy among members. **General rules of membership** Please follow the rules below for your own safety and the benefit of the group: •        Turn up on time so that the group is not kept waiting. We will leave punctually.  •        Check the Meetup website before leaving. We seldom cancel but sometimes unforeseen circumstances occur. •        Please change you RSVP if you can no longer attend an event. •        Ensure you have suitable footwear and clothing. •        Take responsibility for your own safety and the safety of the group when walking on roads and crossing railways lines, etc. •        Make sure you are fit enough for any walk you are attending. If in doubt, seek medical advice. •        Sorry, but dogs are not allowed on our walks. We may modify these rules from time to time to ensure the continued enjoyment and safety of all members.

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!).
