We are a casual gaming group which means we do not require members to turn up every week to keep their place in the club. We meet every Wednesday evening (7PM to 11PM) in the function room of The Kings Head in Warrington, to play board games, chat and socialise. The function room is located via the double doors in the left-hand corner at the rear of the pub. **As modern board gamers we're often asked  'what type of games do we play' - you won't find monopoly, scrabble etc being played as these are “traditional” boardgames. We play “hobby” boardgames, a good starting point would be to check out TableTop on YouTube. It's an online TV show that gives a great overview of the types of games we play at the club.** Take a look at the comments section for an upcoming Wednesday, and you'll see the games available to play. If you see something you fancy, comment on it to let the game host know you want join the game. Alternatively you can turn up on the night to see what games are on offer, but availability will vary and sometimes there may not be any open spaces left. You are also more than welcome to bring your own games along and post them up on the comments section specifying how many open spots you have for people to join as this helps members to track when a game has become full. If you're still unsure about what to play, message an organiser and we'll point you in the right direction, introduce you to other members, and answer any questions you may have. **Our rules are simple: To cover the use of the function room everyone must buy a drink from the bar, be responsible, respectful, and most importantly, have fun!** **Member fees to cover Meetup costs are £5 every six months, and are collected around April and September.** We hope to see you soon! -Andre, Craig, John & Scott (the organisers)

Hi and welcome to the Lancashire metal detecting group. I'm Michael, and originally from Lancashire, Burscough I decided to start up a metal detecting group, as I've always had an interest in anything old with history to it. I started the hobby a couple of years ago, so I'm fairly new to detecting and it would be great to find like minded people who have the same interest. When started I purchased the Simplex detector and headed to the beach after work. Unfortunately for me I had my steel toe cap boots on and almost dug up most of the beach. :D A lesson learnt , don't make the same mistake! This is a group for anyone interested in metal detecting, outdoor activities, exploring and living life to the fullest. There are no charges for joining the group, and no charge for the attending. Feel free to message me any questions or concerns you may have and if I'm not up a mountain with no signal I will reply as soon as I'm back down :)

This is a group to bring together solo travellers from all over UK (and beyond) who want good company for their ski holidays. Many of our members are single but others have partners at home who do not ski. We usually have about 8 ski holidays , we aim to have a minimum of 30 guests on each trip but the maximum in Courchevel is always higher , that way you can always find ski buddies of your ability and apres buddies too! . Some holidays include lessons whilst others are guided & some have neither so you can choose the holiday that suits you best no matter what your ski ability is.

We also have summer beach club holidays including all water sports plus mountain biking tennis etc usually in June & September

Public sessions are led by a Kristina, a QTS UK qualified school teacher and modern languages tutor, who has been working as a teacher in local schools, adult education colleges and as a private tutor for over 15 years. Private sessions are taught by language tutors, native or native-like speakers, who are university graduates and professional school teachers.

So, come along, meet other people and improve your English, while having fun.

Hi/Asalaamu Alaykum lovelies 👸, I hope this you are well. My name is Alisha and this is a safe and welcoming place for Muslim girls of all ethnicities and backgrounds to could come together and share experiences, build healthy friendships and feel like they belong. I made a few changes to the group, namely changing the name to Muslim Females meet N Greet 🤗🥳! I officially gone all social media-fide and opened up a Muslim Females Meet N Greet account where you can get up-to-date on upcoming events, get notified, recommend ideas and see what we got up to in past events. As the new year approaches I'm hoping to build this platform with beautiful memories and be able to connect with you all in one place. Below is the link, go check it out and give it a follow ❤️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/muslimfemalemeetngreet?igshid=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg== If the link doesn't work, search for Muslim Females Meet N Greet and you should be able to see it 😄 Rules for this community It is important that you confirm that you are attending these events by RVSPing on the meetup app. I also require a message via meetup app or Instagram ahead of the arranged meetup to ensure that you will be attending. If in the event you are not able to come please notify me 24 hours before and update your RVSP. If no update has been given then I will be expecting you at the event. If you don't turn up and RVSP shows you are attending and no update has been given from you via messaging (I will also be messaging individually to check your whereabouts) and this happens over 3 separate occasions I will have to remove you from the group. Please ensure you are kind, considerate and polite when you are meeting with us and communicating with others. I'm building a safe environment for Muslim girls to meet and have a wonderful time. If kindness is not shown warnings will be given privately and subsequently if the behaviour continues it will lead to being removed from the group. If an event is requires payment please ensure you make a payment the same time you RSVP. This is also the same for booking onto a planned event, for example, booking tickets to a theatre. Please do this as soon as you decide to attend as bookings are taken up quickly and you are not guaranteed a place if you haven't booked. A message from me It’s difficult to find a group of people with similar values and mindsets especially as a Muslim woman today. It can be a real struggle if you are new to a place or feel out of place in the communities you are already a part of, so it is a great opportunity to build wholesome relationships or just to belong in a supportive social circle. Also, be organising trips abroad across Europe 🇪🇺 for short weekend breaks and short stays around UK 🇬🇧. Alongside, spa trips, restaurants meals, theartes, cinemas and brunches etc. Even if you are not a Muslim but feel that this would be a great community to be a part of then please do not hesitate to join! I am happy to take any feedback and suggestion on events and work we can do e.g. charity work, reading club, sports etc. Looking forward to having you join and seeing you at our next meetup event! Alisha

Hello there! We'd like to welcome you to our FREE weekly Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings, hosted by Sandhya, Francois, Aarti, Sandeep, Adrian, Delia and friends - resuming later this year. With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required. We are all volunteers of a Charity organisation and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes. All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most **transformative energy** of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us **restore balance and harmony** within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for. The classes are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is **quite effortless and spontaneous**. The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a **state of yoga**, and they are available across London most evenings and throughout the UK. The idea is that you don't do yoga - you Achieve Yoga! Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. It helps those who enjoy it, **reduce stress and increase wellness and health holistically.** It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and better balanced. Anyone can do it. Founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a world wide movement for **peace and self awakening**. All the meetings and classes are free of any charge. Each week we go through **simple meditation techniques**, often with guided meditations to help **re**duce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation. We share tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home. The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and **balancing the subtle body**. The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with **no mental activity or thoughts** about the past or the future. Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a **natural state** of being. 10 Reasons to try-out Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Manchester in 2024 **It’s easy.** You don’t have to spend years living in the mountains to achieve enlightenment. You don’t have to give up anything or spend weeks in silence. You don’t have to learn mantras or wear special clothes or even try to clear my mind. The meditation simply happens spontaneously. The classes are easy and fun, and as long as you keep up your daily ten minutes of meditation you find you are able to achieve a deep and peaceful meditation on a regular basis. **It’s free.** You don’t pay for your meditation. There are no catches, and there are no hidden expenses. If you missed attending classes one week, it doesn’t matter. You just picked up the classes again when you could manage it. It is simply the generosity of spirit of other Sahaja Yoga meditation practitioners that allows Sahaja Yoga to be taught to whomever desires it, at no cost. **You can see results.** You feel relaxed and you feel a deep sense of calm. Now you can also feel your chakras (energy centres) and through the meditation techniques learnt along the way you can understand the vibrations of your own energy centres. If you feel unwell you meditate and use the techniques you’ve learnt to heal your chakras, and you can then feel the centres clearing, and as a consequence your health improves. **It’s all-inclusive.** All the major religions and their core teachings are acknowledged and respected in Sahaja Yoga. No one’s spiritual journey is right or wrong. And through meditation the wisdom of all the great gurus and saints is easily revealed and understood. In fact, you’ll find that since you’ve been meditating you’ll come to understand and appreciate the teachings of great teachers such as Lao Tse, Buddha and Mohammed. **You’re your own boss.** You meditate and introspect at your own pace. You don’t have to keep up with others, or feel pressured into doing things you’re not comfortable with. You are your own teacher, your own guru, your own master. This technique of meditation empowers you and enables you to help yourself. You don’t have to rely on anybody else. Of course, there are many people who practice Sahaja Yoga Meditation who can teach you a great deal about the yoga & meditation and its various techniques. However, all that you need is ultimately within you. **It’s everywhere.** Sahaja Yoga is practiced in almost every country in the world. So, no matter where you travel you can always locate a local Sahaja Yoga Meditation programme that you can attend. Whenever you get the chance, and no matter where you are, You try to link up with other Sahaja Yoga practitioners and enjoy a collective meditation. (Meditating with others is a much deeper and more powerful experience than meditating alone.) **It’s portable.** You don’t need to take anything with you to meditate: no mats, no potions, no special clothing or books. You can meditate anywhere – in a quiet room or on a noisy bus; at the beach or watching a movie. Thoughtless awareness (the state of meditation) is easy to achieve if you keep meditating daily, and it can be achieved in almost any situation. **It makes sense.** Everything you’ll learn will make sense. There is a lot of common sense in Sahaja Yogameditation, and even though not everything was known to you (for example, the chakras and their respective qualities), once you have a chance to learn more about the meditation, it feels very natural and comfortable. **Everybody does it.** When you begin a hobby or join a new group, you often find that there are particular types of people who are in the group with you. For example, some groups attract younger people, others older folk; some groups have a lot of people who are wealthy, or people who live in a certain part of town. In Sahaja Yoga you will find people from every walk of life, from every demographic – male and female, young and old, rich and poor, every shape, size and colour, with varying interests, languages and beliefs. You don’t have to be a certain type of person to do Sahaja Yoga meditation. It is one of those rarities: something for everybody. **You feel good.** Without fail, every time you sit down to meditate you feel better. Whether you manage to have a deep meditation or not makes no difference, and as a consequence your family and friends are reaping the benefits. **So there you have it......ten reasons......** Pop along to a Free Sahaja Yoga Meditation weekly Meeting
