What we’re about
Welcome to our friendly group for people 50 or over who are looking to make new friends. We are based in Leeds and have members from all over Yorkshire. Our objective is to bring together people who are looking to broaden their circle of friends and socialise a bit more.
We organise a wide variety of events, so there's always something for everyone or ask if you have some ideas. Don't suffer from loneliness at home when you can join us and have fun! If you’d like to try us out before paying the £5 annual membership fee, you are very welcome to attend one of our coffee mornings free of charge.
Please be courteous to others! We understand that things can and do happen at the last minute so if you’re going to be late or unable to attend, please amend your RSVP as soon as possible to let your host know and / or allow someone on the waiting list to go instead. We don’t tolerate no shows and will remove members who don’t make their apologies more than once. If you’re feeling unwell, please don’t show up and pass along your germs to others!
We are a social group and not a vehicle for advertising your products or business. Memberships are cancelled if you contravene these rules or have not attended any event for six months.
To join, please make sure your profile photo is a clear, recent, face-only without sunglasses (just like a passport photo). This helps our hosts easily identify you at events.
As there are multiple people who go by a common first name only, we need to be able to distinguish you from others. So, we ask for something that uniquely identifies you such as a surname. For the same reason, the initial won’t be sufficient but a throw in another letter (which doesn’t have to be the second one) or a number and we’d be happy! For example, please don't name yourself "Paul", or "Paul G", but “Paul Grant”, "Paul G24" or "Paul G - York".
The cost of 2024’s annual membership is £5, payable to your host at your first event of the year. Please note that we may not be able to action Requests to Join immediately as we fit in our volunteering for this group amongst other commitments (full time work as an example!).
Thank you for considering joining our group. We look forward to seeing you soon!
