What we’re about
This is a social group for over 50's. Want to get a bit more fun out of life? Then this group is for you!
We are all about enjoying life as much as possible and getting out there with others to make that happen. Laughs, chats, live music, walks, theatre, dining out, drinks nights, cinema, cultural/educational events, beach days, day trips and lots more. All over 50's will be very warmly welcomed at all our events. If you feel a bit nervous about coming along to your first event then give me a call and I can have a friendly chat with you before you attend or I can meet with you for a coffee/chat and go in with you to your first event. You will be warmly welcomed.
To help cover the cost of the meetup fees we ask for only a £1 donation for each meetup event you choose to attend - so please do remember to bring this along at the event so we can continue to organise lots of fun times for you to enjoy. All donations will go towards the meetup fees to run the group. Please make sure that organisers are able to contact you on meetup with any updates by going into your settings- click on privacy- and then click on who can contact you on your profile on meetup. Also, please put a recent photo on your profile so that organisers and fellow members can recognise you when you attend events- it is common courtesy to do so.
Meetup organisers and event hosts are volunteers and we have no public liability nor any other type of insurance cover - therefore all individuals attending any of our events are entirely responsible for their own health and safety.
We really want this to be a fun, interesting, inclusive and caring group that we hope you will value being part of. Life is to be enjoyed - so let's do that!

Come join us for dinner and some very interesting drinks at the Alchemist at St James Quarter. I have been once before and it was good fun and I was quite impressed with the cocktails.

Cocktails in Edinburgh, Scotland | Book Today | The Alchemist (thealchemistbars.com) - Sunday Lunch at Contini - George Street.Contini, Edinburgh
I saw Contini when I was having a coffee on George street yesterday and I looked it up online. It looks lovely inside with good reviews so I thought I would offer it as an event.
And lucky for us they have just started their Piccolo menu today which is only £25 for three courses. Fabulous. The food looks really yummy and as I love Italian food - I am really looking forward to trying Contini.
So come join us for a relaxed Italian Sunday lunch in beautiful surroundings and a bit of chat/laughs (with an optional walk after if the weather is good). Only eight places available so its first come first served. Should be fun and yummy.
Please only RSVP if you will attend as it takes up a place someone else could have if you do not turn up. Please remember to bring your £1 towards site fees. Hope to see you there!

Lunch & Pre Theatre Italian - Contini George Street, Edinburgh - Soul Vegan- MalaysianSoul Vegan, Edinburgh
This wee place has been highly recommended to me today and although I am not vegetarian/vegan I cant resist trying it as the reviews are also great. The food looks delicious and life is too short not to try eating some of it- that's what I say. It's just too difficult to resist visiting all these great places to eat out and I do know there are lots of other things to do apart from eating - but I love food. Cant help it.
We can meet at the Soul Vegan restaurant at 5pm for dinner/drinks/chat/laughs. I want to try everything! Lots of places to go for a drink after if you fancy.
I have a booked a table for six only so- again - it's first come first served. (Silly me- I forgot to put the limit of 6 on attendees so 7 signed up before I did that ! I will change the booking nearer the time if there is still 7 going as it was my mistake) Please only RSVP if you are going to attend as if you don't you are taking up a place that someone else could have. Please remember to bring your £1 towards site fees. Thanks. Hope to see you there. Yum. Yum.
