What we’re about
Welcome to the group!
This group is all about getting out of the house and meeting new friends doing various social activities. The group has members covering a wide range of ages, backgrounds and nationalities.
Our core activities are
- Walks in Oxfordshire and the border of the surrounding counties, usually no more than an hours drive from Oxford, sometimes ending with a pub lunch/drink whenever possible.
Our walks normally range from 3-10 miles, mid week walks are approx. 3-5 miles as we like to get back before sunset. These health and fitness walks will have an expected finish time on, we try to keep to approximately 2.5 miles to the hour but sometimes this can go over for reasons beyond our control. - We also have many other activities going on throughout the month such as pub nights, meals out, music and cinema events and days out.
- Camping and Premier Inn type weekends or mini breaks
- We welcome suggestions and happy to help put the event up for you if you can be the host?
Whilst I recognise everyone's cost of living has increased over the last few months, weekend walks have been reduced to £2 per person, midweek walks and social events are £1. Camping weekends are approx. £3-5 per event and some events are free.
We have a loyalty card scheme starting in 2021, after attending 4x£2 paid walks the 5th is free and the same applies to £1 walks and socials.
So if this sound's like what you've been searching for, come along and give us a try. We encourage new members to come along to one of the mid-month pub nights to meet the organizers and other members old and new.
I recommend downloading the App version on your mobile so you are up to date with events and have your email settings ON to receive email notifications from the Organisers- we email members re event updates which we know people have missed because the settings are set to off.
Please note: We are a relaxed group but we do expect our members to update their RSVP's as soon as possible if they are unable to attend an event to help organizers and other members who may wish to attend, and like many other similar meetup groups, we do operate a 2 "No Show" policy that will result in asking you to pay (if applicable ) and /or possible removal from the group.
All the Organizers time is voluntary so please help us by ensuring you do your own planning for making it to an event on time and understanding what and where it is from the information provided on the event pages.
I look forward to seeing you soon,
Jo, Beth and Paul.
