Let’s meet online to play and develop some new (or old) acting skills. Our online acting sessions are for you if: * You ever thought about taking up acting. * You did drama in college, uni, school and you miss it. * You ever needed to speak in front of people and wishes you had some more tools (and some more confidence). * You like to play and be creative (and sometimes silly). * You want to meet people while being at home. * You are an adult (but really a child). We will play, learn skills, create and perform. We will become free when performing and more confident in front of people. We will make new friends and get to know ourselves in a new way. All of the sessions in this Meetup group are online. All of the sessions are suitable for beginners with little or no experience. More experienced performers are very welcome to join and play with us too :) Most sessions are run by [Theatre Gym](https://www.theatregym.co.uk/) and Tal Jakubwiczova

This is a social group meant for everyone – any age or ability, gender, nationality. We are inclusive, welcoming and friendly... oh, and we love kicking a ball around in the fresh air, trying to win, and having fun. The skill level of our players varies – we have regulars who are extremely good, but also others who are complete beginners, or who don’t have much experience. We balance the teams out each week, so everyone gets a chance to play their best. If you are a beginner, you will soon get to love the game. You can play for as long as you like, depending on your fitness level – no-one will mind if you leave early or sit out for a bit. If you don’t know the rules, don’t worry, you’ll soon pick it up. When: the group has now been meeting every weekend since 2021. And we play twice-weekly in the summer months, when light allows a mid-week game. Some players attend every game, others drop in and out every few months. Everyone is always welcome -  regulars, occasional players, and new faces. Thinking this might be for you? That means it probably is - come and give it a go. (Note - when you ask to join the group please make sure you have a picture of yourself with your profile, or message me directly – this is just to prevent spam)

**Hi, fellow RAMS who were formerly known as the '[London Bouldering group](https://www.meetup.com/london-indoor-bouldering-meetup-group/)'. As the organizer, I have decided to rename this group for several reasons:** 1. The name conflicted with other similarly named groups and I wanted to create a unique identity. 2. Create a group that was embodied in the name, that you guys will be proud to be a part of. 3. Create a group that would be able to lead as a group and individually, through knowledge and experience via structured lessons available to those who are interested. and lastly 4. We can have a mascot that is described by our name :) So from now on it shall be called: The RAMS (Rock And Mountain Sports) climbing group. We will climb at 4 different venues around London, initially. Twice a week at each venue (The Castle Climbing Centre, North - Mile End Climbing Wall, East - The Reach, South and Westway Climbing Wall, West London). There will be visiting guest speakers giving talks that we will hold at the climbing venues. There will be outdoor climbing weekends and weeks too in the UK and abroad. We will also uniquely have courses that will be held to further our skills and technical proficiency for those that are interested in our Climbing Academy. The ethos of meetup.com isn't changing so meeting new people and learning new things is the same. And yes we will also go to the pub afterward for a few beers! *I hope you all get as excited as I am in creating and running this group that will become a leader in this field!* https://discord.gg/T5PnQFvp *p.s. There will be charges for membership and administration.*

Autistics group with sports, concerts and travel. Preparing for Paris Olympics 2024.

This group is for anyone interested in how Virtual and Augmented Reality is being and will be used in Sports. I've started this group because I'm starting to see lots of amazing VR / AR in sports emerging but it doesn't have its own community in the same way gaming and cinematic VR does. Open to format suggestions, but I'd love to encourage a mixture of informal talks from people working in the sports and / or VR industries and tech / startup demos.
