What we’re about
Welcome to our Meetup group. It's for people who’d like to take part in social activities on a regular basis, meet new friends and lead an active social life.
We aim to discover unique and unusual local activities and events, together with regular, more traditional Meetups like pub nights, meals, cinema/theatre, live music, semi-guided walks etc. Our aim is to compliment activities to your own social calendars.
We welcome new ideas and always encourage members to share with us your thoughts for future events.
Some events will be free and some we ask members make a small contribution to help cover Meetup costs. (Sadly it’s not a free service to the Organisers!)
In addition, we ask that all members keep in mind the fact that our Event Organisers are hosting their events completely voluntarily, in their own time and we need to make the events as straightforward as possible for them to run. The absolute basic requirement of all members is therefore to ensure that you keep your RSVPs up to date. If you put your name down to attend an event and later cannot make it, you need to be fair to all parties involved and click on ‘Edit your RSVP’ to ‘Not going’ ahead of the event. Try not to leave it to the last minute if possible as there will quite often be people on a waiting list wanting to go, should a place become available.
The most important thing about this group is to feel safe, relaxed, included and above all, have fun 😇
Risk Disclaimer:
Please note that all members take part in all activities solely at their own risk. Should any personal loss, accident, illness or physical injury occur during an event, organisers cannot be held accountable. As events are carried out in the public domain, all members reserve the right to take images of their experience to enjoy at a later time. Please inform an organiser at the start of an event if this may be an issue, so they can accommodate accordingly.

See all- Mad Squirrel Adventure 🐿 🍕🍺Mad Squirrel Brewery, Hertfordshire£2.00
This is a very popular walk with the most amazing pizzas at the end. They have reserved tables for us after 😊
We leave @ 10:30 prompt from The Mad Squirrel Brewery in Potten End, HP1 2SG. There is ample parking. The group will not be waiting for anyone who is not on time 🚙
We will be sitting at their sunny benches at the end devouring their speciality home made pizzas and fine ales. Share one with friends 🍕🍺
To start, we wander through fields, woods and country lanes down to skirt The Alford Arms, then another field with an amazing view, through Hazdene’s wood to follow the pretty river Gade 💦 We shadow this all the way to Gadebridge Park, passing more beautiful scenery and then walk up a fairly steep hill, through a long enclosed lane, across another field and back to the brewery, where we’ll all be cream cracker’d and looking forward to our well deserved reward! 🍕 Approximately 6.5-7 mile route. Will take roughly 3-3.5hrs.

- Nickey line circular walk 🚂The Midland Hotel, Hemel Hempstead£2.00
This historic walk is always popular, as reasonably easy with lots of scenery changes. This time I’m going to reverse it, which I’ve never done before!
We leave @ 10:30 🕥 from the Midland Hotel pub, HP2 5BH. The landlady has said that we can all park in her car park and has saved us a little area in the pub after if needed ☕️🍺 The group will not be waiting for anyone who is not on time 🚙
To start, we get straight onto the old Nickey line 🚂 which we follow for over 2 miles right up to the top of the town and then pull off to skirt the top playing fields ⚽️ Onto little tracks and down a long country lane to Picketts End. Walk though a quaint area to Gadebridge Park 🌳 and then steadily make our way back to the pub 🍻🍷☕️
Approximately 6-6.5 miles. Will be roughly 2.5-3hrs.
