Sports & Hobbies groups near Skipton, J7

Group goal: The goal of the group is to bring together Indian residents and students in Leeds to celebrate our shared culture, support one another, and create a sense of belonging. We aim to foster connections through cultural events, festivals, and activities that promote Indian traditions while integrating into the local Leeds community. Who are you hoping to meet?: We are looking to meet fellow Indians living in or around Leeds, whether they are students, working professionals, or anyone with a love for Indian culture. It's a space to connect with like-minded individuals who want to share their experiences, build friendships, and participate in cultural and social activities. What will you do at your events?: Our events will focus on celebrating Indian festivals like Diwali, Holi, and others. We'll organize cultural nights, music, dance, and food-centered gatherings, along with social meetups to network and relax. We also aim to provide support to newcomers in Leeds by offering guidance, resources, and connections.

We meet regularly for adventurous and challenging off-road rides and our aim is to provide a friendly and supportive atmosphere in which to enjoy our sport, with all the benefits of riding in a social group.   We welcome new members, but please understand that while many of our riders have a lot of experience, we are amateurs and do this for the love of our sport. We do not hold any formal qualifications. We are **not** instructors, mentors nor technical experts.   We will always help and support each other when needed, and will never leave a group member behind, but all riders must accept that mountain biking is a dangerous sport, and that individual riders are responsible for their own safety.   LMB, its organisers, hosts and leaders will not be held liable for any injury or loss incurred.   Rides will each have one or more designated hosts, who will be familiar with the route.

We are a group based in West Yorkshire, for people who want to climb or have days out in the hills and mountains. The group has being going for 12yrs (as of Jan 22). We are a very busy, friendly group with a small core of enthusiastic, committed and experienced climbers. When the weather allows meet weekly to climb outdoors (mainly 'Trad' but some 'sport') alongside regular bouldering meets, during the summer months and as often as the weather allows during the winter. We also meet at least weekly indoors at climbing walls (mainly Big Depot on Thursdays, further afield Harrogate, Sheffield etc on Sundays). During the summer months we have several residential meets in the Lakes and Snowdonia, staying in YHAs, bunkbarns or camping, and now have a 'Winter Escape' trip to Spain. We are also giving some thought to walks, social events and more European climbing destinations. **We need to make it clear that, whilst some of us have years of experience, we are not instructors or professionally qualified to teach climbing and we are not responsible for teaching new climbers to belay etc.** **If you are new to climbing:** please join us when you have completed the wall's induction programmes: for boulderers this is generally basic instruction, for lead climbing you will need to have completed a relevant course in top rope belaying and lead belaying **Climbers:** those who are already competent and can sign themselves in can come along to any event. **Membership:** £10 for the year to cover the meetup costs. We ask you to pay once you start climbing with us on a regular basis. We have a number of spare harnesses,pairs of shoes, helmets and belay devices which we can lend out (please let us know before the meeting whether you need to borrow anything. Alternatively, equipment can be hired at climbing walls. Additionally, before joining us you should read the BMC participation statement which states: "The BMC recognize that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement." If you do not accept full responsibility for for your own actions and involvement in any outdoor activities please do not join this group, Yorkshire Climbers cannot accept responsibility for the actions of its members and advises everyone to get adequate insurance for the activities they want to take part in, Insurance details can be found on the BMC site. So, if you think this is for you, come along and experience the fun of climbing!!!

Code & Coffee is an informal weekly get-together in the morning in Leeds city centre. Come hang out and write some code, talk tech, or just enjoy the coffee! There is no agenda or organised activity; attendees might typically bring a laptop and hack on a hobby project, work through a tutorial, take an interest in what someone else is working on, or just imbibe caffeine to wake up before work. Everyone is welcome, whether learning to code for the first time or doing it for a living. We congregate from 8am on Tuesday mornings at [La Bottega Milanese](https://www.labottegamilanese.co.uk/), and disperse as and when people need to get on with their day. If coming for the first time, look out for a cluster of people beavering away on laptops. (Thanks to [Glean](https://www.glean.co) for sponsoring the Meetup bill)
