Things To Do!

Cardiff, X5

Things To Do!
Hi and welcome to 'Things To Do!' This group is for activities around Cardiff and the surrounding area, with walks, coffee's, regular meals priced to meet all pockets, special events and the odd sporting event thrown in too. Come along and meet new and old friends in a relaxed pleasant atmosphere. Attendance numbers for meals can be increased if there is a waitlist, and if the establishment can fit the request for extra places. **When joining the group, there is a membership fee of £4.00p for 6 months, or 12 months for the bargain price of £7.50p** 😉 Most dining events will require a £5 deposit to confirm your place, this charge will either be deducted from your bill at the end of the meal or returned to you in cash at the meal. The deposits will not be refunded if you fail to turn up, or your attendance is cancelled within 24hrs of the event, members on waitlists must be allowed time to book onto events, this is less likely if people book off on the day or day before. If you find you are unable to attend, then the deposit will be paid back to you, if someone on the waitlist for that event takes your place. This is also dependent on the restaurant requiring a deposit to confirm the booking. This group is for ages 30 to infinity. Inactive members will be removed after 6 months of joining the group, if this includes yourself, you will be most welcome to rejoin. **Membership & Deposit fees can be paid to:** **Andrew L Davis** **Lloyds Bank** **Acc no: 45589368** **SC: 30-96-91** **or** **Via PayPal @** **anderstdb@aol.com** Please mark the PayPal payment as **"Friends and Family'** to avoid transaction charges and please pay within 7 days, or you will be removed. This is a non-profit group, membership fees are used to pay the costs charged by Meetup, any additional monies that are received go back into the running of the group, booking events & occasional treats at events. Please use a picture of your self on your profile, this is for identification at events and members safety. If you are an experienced host, and would like to join the team and expand the events to offer, please contact me privately. 😊

Thornbury Pickleball Group Novices

Thornbury, E6

Thornbury Pickleball Group Novices
The novices club is a club for people with little or no experience in Pickleball. We are currently seeing a high level of interest and are operating a waitlist to join. All prospective members who are new or newish to the game must complete an introduction session whereby we go through the basic rules, strokes and positioning for an hour and then play for an hour. This session costs £9 to include paddle hire. These are usually at the weekend and subject to our and court availability. If you are an experienced player i.e. been playing regularly at another club for at least 6 months you may not need to attend the introduction session. Once this is complete you would be added to the waitlist. All events will take place in Thornbury so people from this locality or its surroundings will be given preference. All ages welcome (over 18's).  No experience necessary as we offer tuition re the rules and how to play. It is easy to pick up the basics.  We welcome players of all abilities. Sessions are £5.50 per two hour session for members and £7.50 for non-members for evening and weekend sessions.  £4.50 per two hour session for members and £5.50 per two hour session to non members for off peak sessions (daytime). Paddles are available for hire at £1 per session from the club.  Balls are provided. By joining this Meetup group you are not actually joining the Thornbury Pickleball Club to do that you need to attend a number of sessions, complete a membership form and pay a fee - this is subject to availability of spaces at the club Please ensure you wear sports kit with non marking shoes. If you cant come after booking please send us a private message to advise us and remove yourself from the event. If you cancel within 48 hours of the event you will be expected to still pay as we have comitted to the courts by then and uneven numbers reduces the value of the event for others. We are a friendly bunch and we hope you will try out this new sport which is a lot of fun.

Mountain Biking Bristol

Bristol, B7

Mountain Biking Bristol

A group intended to be a meeting point for riders who already have some experience, reasonable fitness and basic technical skills besides love for the sport as well as meeting others of similar interests. 

Riding will happen more often around Ashton Court/ Leigh Woods but also in South Wales, Forest of Dean, North Wales and more. 

 Riders of different levels of fitness are welcome but there will be no 'family' rides, only grades BLUE and ABOVE (see bellow) will be organised. Our rides are not suitable for children!

We follow the grading system suggested by the mountain biking industry as described by the following sites:

http://www.mbwales.com/en/content/cms/Trail_Search/Trail_Grading/Trail_Grading.aspx

https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/knowledge/training/article/izn20130802-Mountain-bike-trail-centre-grades-0

In our own words:

• Blue -  Regular pace with time to catch breath, challenging but guaranteed to raise a smile.

• Red - Steady pace, technical elements, reasonable distance/ duration.

• Black - Fast paced and very technical, and or long distance. 

Important: this group hasn't got any intention of being or acting as a cycling club. It is simply a meeting place for people who want to ride in the company of other cyclists. Therefore it is important to understand that all riders must be responsible for their own health, safety and well being as well as being prepared for dealing with common situations typical of the activity like change in weather, mechanical problems, flat tyres, etc.Mountain Biking is a hard sport not free of risk  and this group cannot be deemed responsible for the exacerbation of any medical condition as well as any crash or accidents that might occur during our rides.
