Guildford Gamers

Guildford, N7

Modern 'euro' style boardgames are a treat, and we're a very friendly group :) **If "boardgames" to you means Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and Cluedo...** then come and join us for the next step into the world of boardgames. Modern, 'euro style' games are of very high quality, can usually be learnt quickly and generally last for 90mins to 2 hours. What's more, they usually involve everyone all of the time, so you're not sitting around waiting for someone else to take their turn and you won't be 'knocked out' after the first half hour. All in all, they are much more fun and much more accessible than Monopoly and its more traditional counterparts! Although we sometimes play the heavier/more complicated games, we love to welcome new members and players. If you’re a relative newcomer to the boardgaming hobby, get in touch and we can make arrangements for a table to introduce you to the wonderful world of games beyond the traditional “roll the dice and move along the board” examples. Drop us a note outlining what you’ve played before (if anything) and we’ll make sure you have a good time. Some great introductory games include Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride – if you’ve never played these you’re in for a treat, or if you have, come and try something else. **If "boardgames" to you means Puerto Rico, Power Grid, Agricola and others...** you'll already be aware of the sorts of things we play! **Where and when:** We meet on Tuesday evenings at 6.30pm at the [Guildford Institute](http://www.guildford-institute.org.uk/). We have to pay for the room hire, though the space, tables, and lighting are excellent (much better than a typical pub). The Institute does serve some drinks and snacks, but not meals, so if you need dinner you have to arrange that separately before or after gaming. Although we try to start promptly (which means we can fit in the longer games that other clubs can’t!), please let us know if you’re going to be late (after 7pm) and we’ll try and schedule games accordingly – we generally manage a couple of games each week (per table) so we should be able to time it to maximise everyone’s playing time. We also play 10am to 6pm one Saturday each month (check event listings - usually the second Saturday). **Fees**: The Guildford Gamers pay the Institute for the use of a room, so we make a modest charge for attending our sessions. The fee per person per session is £4 by card or £5 cash. Joining the club involves committing to regular monthly payments instead (currently £8, or £4 for weekend-only membership), and entitles the member to a vote on matters affecting the club. Under-18s may attend for free. Students aged 18 or over in full time education with valid ID, and Seniors Citizens over 60, are entitled to a 50% discount. The club is non-profit and fees are used solely to hire the venue and sundry costs (mainly Meetup fees and bank charges). **More Information:** We have a [Guild page](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/guild/294) on BoardGameGeek - the site for all boardgamers! BGG contains lots of information about all the games we play - and many more! We look forward to seeing you :-)

The Happy Introverts Group

Staines, N7

Welcome and Greetings to everyone!! Here is welcome anyone that feels unique and is open to enjoy a family community. When we think of people as being introverted, social anxiety, we often wrongly assume that they are people who don’t like people and often lead to social isolation. This group is created to prove that introvert, social anxious or shy people do like to go out and enjoy activities. There are different qualities and patterns of behaviour that define an introvert or reason behind a person with social anxiety. The most common and how you would be able to understand according to psychologists are: 1\. You enjoy having time to yourself\. 2\. Your best thinking occurs when you’re by yourself\. 3\. You lead best when others are self\-starters\. 4\. You’re the last to raise your hand when someone asks for something from a group\. 5\. Other people ask you for your opinion\. 6\. You often wear headphones when you’re in a public situation\. 7\. You prefer not to engage with people who seem angry or upset\. 8\. You receive more calls\, texts\, and emails than you make unless you have no choice\. 9\. You don’t initiate small talk with salespeople or others with whom you have casual contact\. There are many research showing that socialising it can alter your consciousness and bring more happiness in your life. Here is an article from a research in Germany. [https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/social-pursuits-linked-with-increased-life-satisfaction.html](https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/social-pursuits-linked-with-increased-life-satisfaction.html) We will organise events in different activities like games, comedy shows, culture, writing, poetry, meditation, sports activities, and anything else that is creative. I will end with two favourite quotes. "None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful." – Mother Teresa "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." – Helen Keller

Ladies Who Brunch ...and pretty much do everything else too

Twickenham, 17

This group is ideal for women who are time-poor and want to be able to drop in to social meetups with like-minded individuals at similar stages in their lives.

Many women I know struggle with the same problem as they hit their mid-twenties/ thirties with most of their social network spread out all over the country. Many of us have moved from our hometowns, friends are scattered all over the place and long working hours make it pretty difficult to commit to hobbies. This Surrey-based member's group is designed to be low maintenance but there when you want it, as and when you are free.

The group is always open to suggestions for things to do, but will start on the basis of all things from fitness (runs, yoga, walks, gym sessions, dance classes) to coffee catch-ups, new lunch venues, as well as golf, film, fashion and career conversations/ networking. We welcome anyone to host a meetup, so if you'd like to see more events near you or fancy a particular activity, why not have a go? Similarly, If you have any hobbies or passions we could incorporate that you would like to share or teach - we would be thrilled. Just let me, Charlie, know.

Ultimately, this group is a great way to take a moment out of our busy lives, put the world to rights, share hobbies and skills, network, and enjoy those odd free evenings and weekends in the company of some amazing women.

****************************************************

Kindly Note:

- Please ensure first names and photos are included on your profiles for membership consideration

- We hope that this group will be full of fun, enthusiastic members, please contribute and RSVP where reasonable. It can be daunting attending an event for the first time - but please don't be nervous. The meetups are low-key and filled with genuinely amazing, friendly women.

- We welcome women of any age to join.

- Most of the meetups will be free, but to accommodate any charged events or visiting speakers/experts, some of the meetups may involve a small fee or deposit. Charged events include things such as theatre visits, cinema, lectures, exercise classes etc. Any fees will of course be communicated well in advance.

- To cover the cost of having the meetup group (currently £120/year), the meetup owner, Charlie, may negotiate with paid activity organisers for compensation, such as covering their ticket cost - this won't affect members and any fees will be communicated well in advance.

- If you would like to share a paid event with the group, where funds will go to yourself or someone you know, please ask the group owner, Charlie, in advance.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Thanks and enjoy!
