What we’re about
Hello everyone! This group is for people who live in the Williamsburg area, but it's okay if you're from anywhere, as long as you are willing to travel to be with us! Occasionally, we will have meetups in locations other than Williamsburg. If you like to get together with other people for dinners, drinks, socializing, movies, music, live theater, hiking, biking, wine tastings, outdoor festivals, cultural events - you name it - we are the group for you! We try to have a good variety of meetups and post events our members will enjoy.
Please read the group rules and the business part of our meetup below:
- We found that many meetup groups have age or marital requirements, but we feel that can be very exclusive, and we want our group to be inclusive. Having said that, we do require our members to be at least 21. We also realize the average age range of members is a concern for many potential members, so for full disclosure, the majority of active members in our group are in their 50s, 60s, and above.
- Please post a current, in-focus, actual photo of yourself (head shots are fine as long as they are recognizably you--no added filters or special effects that make it difficult to see what you really look like). This is so we know who is requesting membership, and so we can all recognize one another at meetups. This is an absolute requirement, instituted after some awkwardness and concern when members could not tell in a public venue who was with the group, and who was not. This is a PRIVATE Meetup group, so rest assured that no one can see your name or photo or any info you may share unless they are also members.
- Please use your real first name for your profile name (last names not required, birth year also not required).
- We have elected to offer our members a free 90-day trial membership and a nominal fee of $5 per year for member dues after the trial period expires. Meetup charges every group's organizer a subscription fee to host a group on Meetup.com. The nominal dues we charge our members help us to cover the cost of our group's subscription (which pays for Meetup's software and support). If you enjoy attending events with our group, please enter your credit card information prior to the end of your free 90-day trial membership to ensure your membership is uninterrupted.

- Our organizers put in a lot of time and effort to find, organize, post and host fun, interesting and enjoyable meetups. If you joined this group, you obviously wanted to participate in it, and we want you to! Remember, you can always suggest meetup events if what we are posting is not of interest to you. We encourage and welcome your suggestions and feedback. We will post whatever our members like to do, so there should always be meetups on our calendar that you would like to attend.
- No-Shows are a no-no! Please do not sign up for a meetup unless you plan to attend. If you have a change of plans, please change your RSVP to No or let the host know ahead of time by calling/texting them. We appreciate your courtesy to the hosts and other members in the group by abiding by this rule. Members who are repeat offenders of this rule will be removed from the group.
- We require our members and potential members to be who they say they are. Fake names, photos, profile information or misrepresentation in any way will not be tolerated. Any offense will be grounds for denial of membership to or immediate removal from the group.
