What we’re about

The Gay Outdoor Club operates throughout Great Britain, and provides a wide range of outdoor and indoor sports and recreational activities for everyone in the LGBTQI+ community.

Our 1,800+ members enjoy over 500 events each year. Activities include walking, cycling, swimming, skiing and mountaineering, boating and camping, weekend and overseas trips, arts & culture, history & heritage and social events.

GOC is a members club and a charity – no one is paid for their role in it, and no-one makes a profit from it.

The club consists of about 40 local & specialist groups. Members can join as many of these groups as they wish, and have access to all events of all groups around the country. Membership costs just £17 per year, following a 4-month free trial.

We use this meetup group to welcome newcomers at monthly online social events, and at just a few of the many events organised by our different groups around the country - to enable you to meet GOC and some of our members, and to encourage you to join as a member yourself.

As a newcomer you are welcome to attend* up to three welcome events free via the meetup group. After that you are invited to join as a member via our website, where you can join any of our groups and book any of all their events.

Alternatively, start your trial membership now via our website, and you are welcome to join all of our groups and events for free right away for 4 months!

What are you waiting for? See you outdoors, or perhaps online first...

*If you RSVP "yes" and then cannot attend after all, please remember to change your RSVP to "no". Each "yes" will count toward your three welcome events.
