Sports & Hobbies groups near Petaluma, CA

Welcome to the Sonoma County Zillennial Plant Friends Meet up! This Meetup is perfect for plant enthusiasts in their 20s and 30s who are passionate about plant collecting, indoor gardening, eco-conscious practices, plant identification, and any other botanical pursuits. Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or just starting out, this group offers a community for sharing tips, trading plants, participating in workshops, and exploring the beautiful world of plants together. Join us for fun meetups, plant swaps, and discussions on all things plant-related in our lovely Sonoma County area. Let's grow together! Why just folks in their 20's and 30's? Sonoma County has many plant hobby clubs however all of them skew heavily towards the greater end of life experience folks with often rigid structure, time and financial commitments, and generally not the vibe we are going for. With the reduction of 3rd spaces and growing lack of facetime we are looking to create fun, social, comfortable environment for folks of similar life experience to share their botanical hobbies. Don't take it personally, let us do our thing.

Join this group to connect with sports fans in your neighborhood and watch games in the best bars around you! Watch all games live on FOX Sports.

The hardest thing about board gaming as a hobby is finding new people to game with. So if you need a crew to fix the the engines on the spaceship Nemesis, fellow scoundrels to accompany you into the darkest corners of Gloomhaven, or bitter agricultural adversaries on the isle of Catan, here's your place to find them! If you're new to the hobby or a cardboard veteran, here's your place to find cool events and people to play with! Jump on in. Want to create an event? Just ask! Our only wish is if your game has an extra seat at the table, be kind and offer it up to a stranger here.

We will be reading the book "Calling In The One" by Katherine Woodward Thomas over 8 weeks starting February 23rd at 6 pm.

Northern California is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts: mountains, beaches, trails, rivers, lakes and vineyards. Let's take advantage of all it has to offer! This group is for active people who enjoy exploring and meeting fellow adventurers. Hiking will be the primary focus. Other events may include fitness walking, paddling, ice skating, snow sports, camping, or cycling. As a bonus, we may enjoy a picnic or restaurant visit after. The goal is to create a fun, social experience in nature for members to enjoy, including some time to snap some pics. Event times and lengths will vary, weekdays and weekends - whenever my schedule permits. I try to host a few each month. After work hikes are seasonal, contingent on daylight. During the rainy season, I don't schedule far in advance to maximize opportunities for waterfalls, snow, and springtime wildflowers. I volunteer for both California State Parks and Napa Open Space District and might mix in some trail work days - it's rewarding to give back. :) **GROUP GUIDELINES:** 1) I prefer to use a smaller group setting for events; I find it's more enjoyable for everyone this way. There will often be waitlists, and I don't allow +1s, unless you message me directly with a request. 2) I give priority to waitlisted members who have consistently attended events. 3) If you need to cancel, please update the RSVP on the event page or contact me. Even last-minute cancellations are okay as long as you follow this. I will remove members who have 4 no shows. 4) These are group events and the group is expected to stay together. If we get separated, the protocol is to wait at trail junctions. 5) For safety, please ensure you are fit enough for the event hosted. 6) Cost is free! There are no member dues for this group. If you love the outdoors, please join us in enjoying the beauty of Northern California!

Welcome to the Sonoma-Marin Brat Pack! We are a fun, entertaining, and adventurous group of diverse friends who love to laugh and are looking to expand our social network the good ol’ fashioned way – getting off the couch and getting out there! We take suggestions for events and, if willing, even assign you as the host. Married? Single? New to North Bay or looking to explore this region? Lifelong resident? We accept all people. The majority of our members are born between 1970 – 1995, and prerequisites include being young at heart, a good sport, and being respectful of others. Bullying and verbal abuse will not be tolerated. Also required is a face-recognizable profile picture, so our Organizers can recognize you when you attend events. What kinds of events to expect with the Sonoma-Marin Brat Pack: we have a wide array of events from zip lining, rock climbing, hiking, camping, music festivals, bar crawls, trivia, dancing, night life, volunteering locally, exploring the rivers, mountains, beaches, and towns that make Sonoma and Marin Counties unique. We also have crossover events with other Meetup groups in the area. Events are a joint effort prescribed by your interests and participation. No show policy: keeping your rsvp current shows your appreciation and respect for the organizers as well as fellow group members. We reserve the right to remove members, and not showing up for an event, not letting your Organizer know you’re running late, not being prepared with payment method requested by Event Organizers especially at restaurants and bars are some examples of what may cause removal from the group. Also, please recognize that we are not professional event planners and participation in our events are at your sole discretion. Thanks for taking the time to learn more about us and we hope to see you at our next event!

This group is for anyone looking for people to ride with in or around the Sonoma County area. Anyone is welcome but the target group is for people in their 20s and 30s. Any type, make, model, is fine. Harley's, dual sports, sport bikes, naked bikes, anything is fine as long as it has 2 wheels. Rides will most likely be shorter single day events but possibly longer if people show interest in that sort of thing. Group is new so I am learning how to do this as a I go. Safety is very important when riding motorcycles and I take that seriously. Please make sure your bike is in good working order and properly registered. If you choose not to wear safety gear that fine as it your choice. Obviously, a helmet is required. This will not be for showboating or stunts. Spirited riding is one thing. But dangerous stuff I request you take that elsewhere.

With Canoe and Kayak Paddlers strangers are welcomed as friends and friends become like family. We are the only FIVE STAR rated paddling Group in the SF Bay Area. Our group is good for recreational canoe and kayak paddlers. We feature paddling with friendly folks once you know the basics. However, we are not a guide service and do not offer lessons, therefore you must already have basic paddling skills. We charge an annual $15 fee. Our trips are intended to be friendly and social for people who have paddling experience. Trips vary from easy, appropriate for almost anyone, to trips which require a moderate level of physical fitness and Intermediate boating skill. We seldom do "advanced" level trips. However, all paddlers must expect and be prepared for sudden changes in weather and currents which are common in the SF Bay Area. Most trips are appropriate for canoes and kayaks. Canoes of 15 to 17 feet are common and touring kayaks not less than 12 feet, our trips do not allow folding boats, inflatable boats or SUP's. Our trips are four to six hours long and between six and twelve miles in length, and include a lunch stop along the shore. We paddle reservoirs, lakes, rivers, SF Bay, creeks, sloughs, and estuaries. To join us you need basic skills including getting in and out of your boat, paddling in a straight line and being able to steer and control your boat in windy conditions. You should be in normal physical condition, able to paddle at an easy pace for an hour or two at a stretch without a real break. You need to be able to climb unassisted in and out of your boat in a variety of places, including steep banks, high docks, etc., and you must be able to keep pace with other paddlers. Canoe and Kayak Paddlers is totally non-commercial. We are not a guide service. All activities are simply opportunities for boaters with appropriate skills to paddle together. The trip coordinators *are not* required to have training in boating or outdoor safety or carry emergency equipment. We are not experts. All water sports are potentially dangerous. Participants must assess the appropriateness of their own physical condition, skills, and equipment for any activity, and make their own decisions about safety. If you are not sure if your skills and equipment are appropriate for a trip discuss it with the trip coordinator before starting on a trip. We recommend that all paddlers take lessons in boat handling, safety, and rescue. A life jacket must be worn while on the water. Our goals: ·        Share paddling as a safe, enjoyable, and congenial experience ·        Introduce members to new places to paddle ·        Create opportunities for members to increase their paddling proficiency ·        Offer a central communication hub through our website ·        Provide social, informational, and recreational gatherings associated with the sport of paddling
