30s/40s (plus) Richmond Singles Pages
Come out and meet new people! We would like to meet you too!
What is this group all about?
Singles in Richmond in the 30 - 49 and holding age range getting together to meet new people, make friends, maybe more! Our future meet-ups are all what you make them! Let your organizer know what you would like to do! Some ideas floating around the table are hiking, beach trip, movie night, skiing, potluck dinner, museums, winery tours -
you name it!
A picture is not a requirement but we strongly suggest adding one so we can recognize you at Meetup events and, for safety reasons, it shows that you are who you say you are. Only members of our group can see our calendar, member photos, message board, files, etc. Adding a picture also shows that you are serious about being an active member of the group. Should you decide to post a picture of yourself please be sure it is a CURRENT picture. Since most of us don't have pics of ourselves floating around on our computer please feel free to ask any organizer at any Meetup to take a couple of shots and then email them to you.
A NOTE TO “COUPLES”:
We allow “couples” because members do meet and date from time to time. In today’s world relationships don’t seem to last too long and that’s why we don’t push couples out. We want members to continue keeping and making friends that may be the shoulder to lean on if things go wrong for a couple.
We are here first to provide fun for the “SINGLES” in this group. We may have events that are just for the singles of the group or limited RSVP to the number of “couples” that may come to an event that has a limited number of RSVPs.
We are a relatively diverse group of people with different views, religious beliefs, eating habits, etc. and welcome diversity on most every level. However, if a member tries to force in any way their views and beliefs on any other member, both at functions or via email contact, the offending member will nicely be asked to stop or risk being removed from the group. Should this member continue with the behavior they will be immediately removed from the group.
We're an ACTIVE group
This group is by design a singles ACTIVITIES group and by that we mean a group founded for 30s & 40s singles to get together outside of the "Internet realm" to meet in person for concerts, drinks, game nights and too many other socializing events to name here. That said we expect our members to get out to events and meet new people, not just sit behind the computer and email. Something we are not is a Divorce Support Group although we do realize that by meeting people and forming friendships this in itself can offer some form of support to those members in similar situations. If you feel you are having some residual issues in regards to your divorce it is strongly recommended to seek a qualified professional to help you move through it. As much as your Organizers sincerely care about our members we are not therapists nor have we played any on TV. Nor did we stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
Community Service Events
We take pride that our group ranked #9 out of 168 different groups, organizations and companies in donated hours of time the Central Virginia Food Bank in 2009! We donate time every month helping to stock the warehouse shelves and also collected cash or food at different events to donate to the food bank.
We have also donated time helping “Elder Homes” in an event the group has named “Ramping It Up For Mobility”. Helping this organization with there mission to improve the housing and living conditions of elderly, disabled, and low-income persons in Richmond, Colonial Heights and Hopewell, and the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, and Powhatan.
We are proud that we are a group that can have fun plus help our community. We hope to have more members step up and help or lead in this these types services, which we believe will help us as a group and individuals to grow in life.
Is there a fee?
Meetup charges your organizer a monthly fee for use of the website and it's tools. In 2008 a $1 fee per event attended will apply. (Hey - your organizer is on a budget too!) You will be responsible for your own expenses incurred at events (dinner, drinks, pool, fooseball, kitten toss, entry fees, etc.). Group rates will be applied where applicable! Any extra money above and beyond what Meetup charges will be put towards other expenses like buying food/mixers/plates/cups/etc. for various events.
Please RSVP!
RSVP - means let us know if you are going to be there. Closer to the event time we will email the "maybes" so we can get the proper reservations if needed and group rate if applicable. Please - if you respond "yes" more than 3 times and do not make it to any events we will ask you to refrain from answering "yes" and respond "maybe" instead. This helps us plan better! If you become inactive for three months please be advised that there is a very good chance you will be removed from the group in order to keep our active member numbers accurate.
If a member is sure that they are going to attend an event please use “Yes”. If a member uses “Yes” for an RSVP and does not show for that event they will be counted as a “No Show”. Knowing that things can chance at the last minute in our lives, 7 “No Shows” in a rolling calendar year is the limit allowed. Once a member hits 8 “No Shows” they will be removed from this group.
If a member would like to attend an event but is not really sure if they can make it please use “Maybe” if available. Using “Maybe” and not being able to show for the event will not be counted as a “No Show”.
We're a social group and thrive on getting more and more people out to events to keep our membership fresh and new so the same social rules apply on the Meetup site as in "real life". That said, our members as well as you're organizers, are looking forward to physically meeting you at future meetups and not just as an "online personality" here. Zero tolerance policy for those who habitually add friends without permission or randomly email/post shouts to members they haven't had the pleasure of meeting.
Check out our calendar and message board for events both planned or in the works. We will try to post as early as possible! And yes, we will be doing the outdoor concert series all over town through the spring/summer/fall!
"5.2 Release. Because we do not supervise or control the Meetup Gatherings or interactions among between users and other persons or companies, and because we are not involved in any way with physical transportation to or from these Meetup Gatherings or with the actions of any individuals at these Meetup Gatherings, and because we do not control Paypal, credit card companies or other payment processing companies, and because we cannot guarantee the true identity, age, nationality of Platform users, and because we have very limited control, if any, over the quality, safety, morality, legality, truthfulness or accuracy of various aspects of the Platform you agree that you bear all risk and you agree to release us (and our officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, and third party partners) and Meetup Group Organizers from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, now and in the future, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Platform, your Third Party Transactions, our resolution of any disputes among users, and/or your transportation to or from, attendance at, or the actions of you or other persons at, a Meetup Gathering."
In other words, we're all grown ups and responsible for our own actions.
If for any reason you disagree or can't abide by any of the above please reconsider joining and participating in the 30s/40s Richmond Singles Meetup Group.
