What we’re about
🍷 Welcome... If you're single, sociable, aged 40-62 (at time of joining) and live in Essex then you may be interested in joining our group - please read on...
We're all about meeting new people and making friends with plenty of fun & laughter along the way. We mostly achieve this while socialising over a few drinks in the best bars and pubs, or perhaps dancing the night away with a DJ, live band or tribute act, 🎶 💃
Whether its a free casino tribute evening (with DJ after), a 70s/80s night or a Karaoke evening you'll be guaranteed a brilliant time with like minded singles.
We also run occasional day trips, overnighters and longer breaks - all are lively and fun and offer timetabled sightseeing with pubs, meals and bar stops along the way - it's a great way to relax, socialise and get to know others 🍻🍴
◼️ HOSTED & RELIABLE...
Unlike other groups, all our events are well organised, highly reliable and properly hosted. We'll be ready to meet and greet you at the exact spot and time we say, have a chat and introduce you to others.
◼️ NO TIME TO LOSE...
Remember, life is not a rehearsal, so switch off the TV, getup from your sofa and enjoy a fab evening out with some lovely people instead. What have you got to lose?
◼️ IF YOU LIKE US...
After attending two events, if you like us, appreciate our efforts and would like to come along to more of our events, our ONCE OFF joining fee is just £19.99.
We are all volunteers and freely give up our spare time. Your joining fee is much appreciated and helps towards our annual bill from meetup.com and other running expenses. "We do all the hard work and make it happen, all you have to do is turn up and enjoy"
◼️ WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US SOON... 💃🍷🍻 🎶
PS: We are not a dating website, we are a social group for singles who want to meet new people and have some fun by coming along to events IN REAL LIFE.
"We do all the hard work and make it happen, all you have to do is turn up and enjoy"
◼️NEW APPLICATIONS...
New membership is only open to single, unattached people in the Essex area who are happy to supply a good profile photo of just themselves and are aged 40-62 at time of joining.
◼️RSVP (RULES)...
Your RSVP to an event means that we will be expecting you. Anyone who turns up unexpectedly (without an RSVP) or clocks-up multiple no-shows or lastminute cancellations will gain a reputation for being inconsiderate and unreliable and may be deleted from the group.
◼️BE FRIENDLY (RULES)...
Anyone who acts inappropriately or is unfriendly, argumentative or disrespectful (especially towards the organisers who give their time freely) will be deleted from the group.
NOTE: In line with meetup.com guidelines, group organisers have the right to deny or terminate memberships at their discretion (a reason would be provided).
