Sports & Hobbies groups near West Bloomfield, MI

This is a space for progressive women to bond over hobbies and hang out. Whether you geek out about movies, board games, books, international shows, birds, crafts, food, or art --come hang out with us! We are a **diverse** group and welcome all women, including transgender women and non-binary people who align with women's experiences and issues. Most events are held in Metro Detroit and Detroit. **Group guidelines:** 1. **Show Respect:** Everyone deserves to feel safe and valued. Let’s engage in open discussions while honoring each other’s opinions and boundaries. 2. **Be Considerate:** Please un-RSVP before an event if you can't attend. If you have 4 "No Shows", you will be removed from the group.

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.

This purpose of the group is to get autistics together in safe space to talk about autism issues, Detroit sports, music, concerts and travel.

Do you love to travel and learn about different cultures? Did you live abroad or move to the U.S. from a different country? Are you learning a new language? Come share your life experiences and meet new friends! We'll focus on a different topic each week such as traditions, food, holidays and hobbies. This is a friendly environment to practice English if you are new to the language.

*Life is meant for good friends and great adventures!* We are looking for women 50 + that want to have fun and connect with other women. We will go hiking, kayaking, biking, camping, bonfires, play cards and games, visit museums, art fairs, festivals, concerts, comedy clubs and sporting events, attend professional and community theater, participate in crafts, dine out and visit wineries.  We encourage our members to suggest any adventures they would like to see added. Don't worry about coming to an event alone...that's what most do. You will always have a friendly face to greet you and introduce you to other members. Our hope is that you will walk away meeting new friends and create long-lasting friendships. We look forward to having you join us and hope to meet you soon! IMPORTANT: Please upload a clear photo of yourself for your profile picture.

18+ I created this group because honestly, I can't find anything like it. My biggest hobbies are romance novels, exploring new music and my appreciation for crafts of any kind. I would love to create a group dedicated to these simple pleasures of life. As a black woman, it is hard to find these spaces without the stresses of world news, politics and other heavy conversation. As someone who struggles with anxiety however, it is necessary for me to create a space where we can forget about that and talk about the things we love. \*Please note: These conversations are still ***very*** important to be had, this is just not the space for that.\* This space is meant for friendship, peace and positivity! Our topics do not have to be limited just to these things, exploring our interests also means discovering new ones!

Have you found something Finnish you’d like to share with other people interested in Finnish things? Then this is the place to go! Discussions are welcome about Finnish names, Finnish family, Finnish ancestry, Finnish hometowns, Finnish saunas, Finnish cottages, Finnish migration, Finnish & Cornish mining, Finnish forestry, Finnish history, Finnish weaving, Finnish linguistics, Finnish music, Finnish film, Finnish characters, Finnish sports, Finnish games, Finnish lore, Finnish writers, Finnish stories, Finnish traditions, and Finnish epics.

We are a 420-friendly group or you can call us a friendly 420 group - either way works. We get together and enjoy what nature has so graciously allotted for our special brain receptors. Then we discuss the big ideas of the day, play music, dance, recite poetry, listen to heady lectures or just hang out until whenever. 

If you're up to joining a new group (but unlike any of the other 288 you're a member of), then join this eclectic little group. We are very selective - only one in a hundred makes it. You'll see why once you read the rules: 

Rule #1.  No conservatives - Who the hell wants to hang out with conservatives?

Rule #2. No sports fanatics - Intelligent people don't get excited about sports.

Rule #3. No religious nuts - For reasons evident even to a not-so-precocious 5th grader.

Those are the only qualifications. The rest should request membership in this iconic group, because once we hit 420 members - no more. 

What to expect from this group? 

Don't expect anything - just like when you were born to your parents. 

But we might change the world. 

All this world needs is a bunch of smart people to get together, latch some THC to the cannabinoid receptors in their brains  , and then watch them go. 

That is the premise and promise of this group.

This group is for young people (20's & 30's) looking for a little somethin' on the weekends other than the usual grind. This is also a shout out to all of you who are new in town and are looking to meet people! So! Let's get together once a week and enjoy the "scene" here in the fabulous Metro Detroit area. Activities include outings to bars and restaurants, witty banter (if we're lucky), concerts, community events, and the occasional house party. <br>

Friendly Guidelines for Acceptance into the Group: <br> <br>1. Photo: please make sure your profile pic is a clear photo of you! That way we can recognize you at events. <br> <br>2. Profile Questions: Nothing fancy, keep it brief but informative! You really do have to fill them out before we accept you into the group. Pro tip: it says spots, not sports. <br> <br>Guidelines for Weekenders: <br> <br>1. You are responsible for yourself and your guests! We expect you and your guests to behave like responsible adults. Mind your P's and Q's, be nice and respectful to the other members, don't unload all your problems onto people just trying to have a good time, don't pressure others to do things they don't want to, etc. If there are any complaints, you'll be kicked out. :) <br> <br>2. This isn't a dating group! If you end up meeting someone you really fancy in the group, that's great. But this isn't a singles group or online dating site; our number one purpose is to make lasting friendships! If you're making other people uncomfortable with unwanted come-ons, you will be asked to leave the group. So.. don't be that guy or girl. <br> <br>3. Be courteous to your host and update your rsvp's: if something comes up and you can't make it, no worries! Just change your rsvp to "not going" so we aren't waiting for you for the festivities to begin. Excessive no-shows of "yes" rsvp-ers may be removed from the group at the organizers disgression. <br> <br> 4. Download the app: it's the best way to get real-time info about where to find us or last minute changes. Check the group the day of the event for any updates. <br> <br> 5. Help make this group awesome! You can suggest events and activities, and even to host them yourself. No promotional spam though, please. <br> <br>Please message the Organizer if you have any questions! <br>

In hopes that consumers will choose a more compassionate way of life, S.M.A.R.T. educates the public on the many cruelties animals suffer. This includes, but is not entirely limited to animals who are:

- used for food/factory farms
- used for fur
- used in vivisection or who are researched upon
- used for sport or entertainment

You'll notice that in each of those scenarios, the common word is 'used.'

Animals deserve better.

Because they cannot speak, does not mean they cannot feel, so we must be their voice. Please consider joining and speaking out on behalf of animals everywhere. Visit our 'About Us' page to learn more. From there, please read through our Frequently Asked Questions page. If you have further questions, contact us via email at contactSMART(at)gmail.com.

Welcome to our group page! We are in the midst of indoor season at the Sports Club of West Bloomfield--please see individual events for details. \*\* **PICKLEBALL**: We are starting to try adding Pickleball courts. If you are a player, feel free to apply for the group and note Pickleball in your comments. Assume all tennis comments below also apply to Pickleball. **\*\*** Below are the overall rules of the group. By attending any of our Meetup events, you agree to all of these and any additional details on the events. **\*\*\* GROUP OVERVIEW \*\*\*\*** Welcome tennis players. Our tennis group consists of a random group of people, some of which have been playing tennis for many years. This group was formed to find new and fun people to play tennis with, make new friends and to possibly take our game to the next level. We play outdoors in the summer and indoors at the Sports Club of West Bloomfield in the winter. Occasionally after tennis, we’ll go out for a drink. Please feel free to join us anytime. Please read everything below and join us for some tennis fun and exercise. See you on the courts! **\*\*SKILL LEVEL REQUIREMENTS\*\*** This Meetup is open for intermediate players and up (for example a [3.0-3.5 USTA ranking](https://assets.usta.com/assets/1/15/ExperiencedGuidelines_02142011_V2pdf.pdf))--no beginners, please. For this group, the minimum requirements are that a player is \*consistent\* with hitting and scoring medium-paced shots, keeping score, and serving. Sorry no beginners or learners, please. We appreciate everyone learning tennis (we've all been there) and just want to maintain a consistent level within the group. If you or the group's leadership team are not comfortable with your level, or if you just want a lighter level of play, please take drills or lessons, or join an appropriate group, such as: https://www.meetup.com/PlayYourCourt-Greater-Detroit-Tennis/ OR, if your level is too HIGH, check out our other group: https://www.meetup.com/Novi-Tennis-Group-Advanced/ **\*\*COURT ASSIGNMENTS\*\*** We organizers will do our best to match up similar skill level players with one another to keep the matchups fun for all. When possible we will switch courts and/or partners (if playing doubles) for variety. **\*\*WEATHER\*\*** In case of bad weather please follow the comment section of the current Meetup and the organizers will do our best make a decision between 4pm and 5pm on that day. **\*\*RULES\*\*** Players who fail to follow these rules could be subject to removal from the group. No-shows could also result in removal from the group. 1. MEMBERS ONLY: In order to join us for Meetups, you must be a member of Meetup and the group, no guests please. We need to ensure that every member has filled out the questionnaire for level of play to properly assign court matchups. See below for information on our one-time annual member fee. 2. RSVP POLICY: If you RSVP but are unable to attend, you can change your RSVP as soon as possible or at the very latest, by the cancellation deadline posted in the Meetup description. Not canceling your reservation could create an odd numbers of players and doesn’t allow those on the waitlist (see item 3) to play. For indoor season, since we have to pay in advance for court time we may ask you to pay for no-show time if we can't fill your spot. Players with 2 or more no-shows without proper cancellation are subject to removal from the group. Note: We understand that things happen in life and late cancellations may be necessary at times. We just kindly ask that you let the organizer know ASAP by sending a text/call, sending a Meetup message, or by posting in that Meetup’s discussion board so that they can make appropriate adjustments. 3. WAITLIST: Due to court availability, we place a limit of 8-12 players for each Meetup. If there are more than the limit, Meetup will automatically create a "Waitlist" and will move people from that list to RSVP if there's a cancellation. We respectfully ask that all players on this list be available to play in case someone drops on the RSVP list, even on the day of the Meetup. If you aren’t sure that you can make it please remove yourself from the waitlist. Note: If there are enough RSVPs on the waitlist, the organizers may open the Meetup to add a court for the players from the waitlist. This will depend on court availability at that particular location. 4. PHOTO: We request that members display their actual photo and name on our meetup site so we know who you are when you show up. 5. ARRIVAL TIME: We ask that all players do their best to show up on time and stay until the end of the meetup. If you are running late, please post on that particular Meetup’s discussion, PM or text the organizer. 6. EVEN NUMBER: We prefer an even number of players. If you were the last RSVP and you make it an odd number we kindly ask you to change your RSVP to “No” before the Meetup starts. We will do our best to see if we can find a player to keep it even. It is not always possible to avoid this situation. 9. USTA RULES: When playing, try to follow the [USTA rules](https://www.usta.com/content/dam/usta/pdfs/20180119_2018FAC-full.links.pdf#). We encourage this for those players that play on USTA teams, and for others to develop good habits. “If it’s close, it’s in.” 10. DELAYS: If playing in early spring, late summer or fall and there is a high school match being played, please do not go on the courts until an organizer confirms that it’s alright to do so. 11. RESPECT: Please be kind, courteous and respectful to everyone. We are all here to have a good time while getting some exercise and improving our tennis skills. 12. FORMAT: Unless stated in the Meetup header the format will be as follows. If enough players are willing to play singles, and we have enough courts available, we will do so. Otherwise, we will default to doubles. When possible, we will switch partners and/or opponents for variety of play. 13. TENNIS BALLS: Bring some tennis balls! Please don’t assume everyone will have some. If we all pitch in, it will be a lot cheaper for everyone in the long run. 14. FUN: Lastly and most importantly: have fun!!! **\*\*ANNUAL OUTDOOR FEE\*\*** We ask each player attending our outdoor Meetups to contribute a $10 ONE-TIME annual fee, which covers our $180 annual Meetup fee while giving you the convenience of a managed group and regular events. Any excess fees will be used to purchase balls or cover a fall outing. You may attend one Meetup without cost to see if you like it. If you'd like, you can PayPal, Venmo, ApplePay or Zelle to Ron Flannery (rflan444@iCloud.com, 248-318-5016).
