Meet other single people with shared interests while enjoying London's extraordinary science exhibitions, talks, stargazing and other events.
Our regular events include talks or exhibition at the Royal Society, the Dana Centre, the Royal Institute, the Wellcome Collection, UCL lectuer series and cool stuff at other universities - these are always followed by a trip to a pub or bar afterwards. Science Museum Lates might end up being a staple, we'll see - there are lost of museum Lates these days and we have one in the diary for Tate Britain. There are also loads of amazing places of interest just outside London, so weekend day trips might be in order, have you ever meant to go to Bletchley Park or Downe House, but have never got round to it? How about finally making it there while at the same time meeting cool chic intelligent engaged and unattached (hurrah) people?
Although the interests in this area are broad, I felt it was better than generic singles groups on here as at least we have something of interest to begin with.
The group is for people who:
- have outgrown the whole drinking and clubbing thing
- are intelligent, educated, sophisticated thinkers
- are sociable and like to attend events any night of the week
- find dinner based dating events a bit awkward and boring
- like science! There are lots of generic singles socials groups on Meetup that do pub nights, dinners and many also do cool events, so please don't just join us cos this is a singles group, we will be going to science or geeky events and you'd stand out like a sore thumb if you don't belong. I'm trying to create a group with an existing shared interest to meet each other. We will have the occasional pure social event, but you might not know what we're going on about.
- are single! There are lots of very cool groups that are just for cultural events (see my own group list), but I've set this up precisely for people who want to meet single women and men and don't want to have to work out whether another member is single...through subtle, but awkward questioning (yes, I know you know what I'm talking about! :-)
- don't want to waste an evening at a singles event where there is no return on your time if you don't fancy anyone - yep, we've all been there. This way, we have a great evening out either way.
Please do suggest events, all members are able to schedule events. I for one am keen to discover things I might not think of on my own, so please feel free to contribute ideas.
And oh - please have a picture and complete your Profile Questions. It helps us identify each other, creates a friendly community, attracts new members and helps continue conversations in between Meetups.
Really looking forward to meeting you. Jobeda
PS - a very small favour please! We just started the group on 30th October 2011, so please do check out the poll (where it says 'MORE' on top bar of group page), that helps us to work out how to get new members. It will take you 10 seconds to just click where you heard about us. Thanks.
PPS - for those of you particularly interested in astrophysics, astronomy, astronautics and space flight, please see my other group, Interplanetary and Space Affairs (which I run on behalf of the British Interplanetary Society, hence the odd title :-) http://www.meetup.com/Interplanetary
