What we’re about
Discover Huntsville! is dedicated as a way for us who are new to the area, as well as those of us who have called North Alabama home to expand our social circles. These are causal events that offer an opportunity for members of this group to become more familiar and comfortable with the group and fellow members.
Our group serves the greater Huntsville, AL region. We welcome anyone -- all ages, single, married, new to Huntsville or those who have been here forever. Our common denominator is a desire to meet new people and participate in fun activities. If you're new to the North Alabama area or just looking for more activities and people with whom to share common interests, this is the group for you. Join us and you will make new friends and have FUN!
We encourage members to suggest and host activities which may include clubs, dances, happy hours, karaoke, coffee, movies, live plays, visit museums, art shows, sporting events, bowling, games, picnics, cookouts, house parties, and (almost) anything - whatever members chose to host. All members are asked and encouraged to plan & host other activities in between the monthly meet & greet.
Meetup does charge for being on their site. After attending a couple of events, if you decide to remain a member, as we hope and believe you will, we request a modest financial contribution to help cover the Meetup fees and other miscellaneous expenses.
Group Rules - Updated and Posted 11.7.24
Please have a visible profile picture that clearly shows your face. This is for the safety of all group members, as we will be meeting people for the first time in public settings. Having a clear photo helps everyone feel more comfortable and ensures we can easily recognize each other.
Attendance Policy: Repeated "no call, no shows" may result in removal from the group. After each missed event, you will receive a private message notifying you of the "no show." You are welcome to provide an explanation. If you do not respond, or fail to provide an explanation, it will count as one "strike." After three strikes, you may be removed or banned from the group.
We understand that emergencies can happen, but please be considerate of the time and effort organizers and hosts put into planning events.
Please respect others by updating your RSVP if you can’t attend, especially for events that involve pre-paid deposits or reservations.
3. By joining this group, you understand that we do activities together, and you are participating at your own risk. Please only take part in physical activities that you're comfortable with. Meetup and this group are not responsible for any injuries, whether accidental, incidental, or otherwise. Always stay within your limits and make sure you're safe.
Let's put together a group for the Galaxy of Lights 5k at the Botanical Gardens. Join in on a nice jog with some pretty lights in the scenery and longer to look at them than you'd get in a car.
Sign up for the first wave @ 6:00 on Dec 2.
NOTE: There is a registration deadline of Nov 26 and a $35 registration fee. If you want to join us, you will need to register on this site before then.
