About us
Welcome! This is a new group for 45+ people who want to enjoy great events and meet old and new friends in a relaxed, no-drama environment. It's run by experienced Meetup organizers. Check us out! No group fee due for the first three months and only $10 CAD/year after that.
Our organizers bring their knowledge and enthusiasm from hosting popular, successful events in various other meetup groups, including the usual fun things (dinners, coffees, movies, walks, games, book discussions) as well as the less typical, like dancing to live music, cooking lessons, scooter tours, midnight kayaking under the full moon, Whitecap watch parties, and happy hours at high-end venues.
A note on the group's annual fee: We very much appreciate if you choose to pay the annual fee promptly upon joining, but also completely understand that you might want to take some time to check out a few of our events first. You have three months to pay from the date you’re approved to join. Payment options are via e-mail transfer or cash (in person). You’ll receive info about where to send the e-transfer when you’re approved to join.

Rocket Revellers at Guilt and Co - midweek | $12 Cover
Guilt & Company, 1 Alexander Street, Vancouver, BC, CAThe Rocket Revellers are a favourite with our group and for good reason - they always put on a high-energy show, have a great stage presence and are very danceable. This time they're playing mid-week at atmospheric, slightly swanky Guilt and Co (see link for menu), which is one of Vancouver's most active live music venues (offering two live shows a night, every night of the week). Midweek is not the best time to stay up late dancing, I realize, but this venue is very close to me so I'll be going for sure and hope some can join me.
Note: G&C does not take reservations. They also have a policy of only seating groups when the whole group is present. We'll aim to be seated at 8:30, but I've set the meeting time a bit earlier for that reason. We'll go in with whoever's there at 8:30. Latecomers may be able to squeeze in with us later or find a seat at the bar, but how well that works will depend on how full the venue is. This is a Wednesday night, but also a known, popular local band with their own following, so hard to say what the crowd size will be. Show starts at 9 pm.
Cover is $12 at the door. Cards accepted.

PICKLEBALL - TELL US YOUR PREFERENCES
Location not specified yetMany of you have asked for Pickleball to be added to our growing list of events. As we've yet to host a Pickleball event on this group, I want to canvass all those interested for input that will take less than 60 seconds.
The aim is to
- Understand what are the most preferred locations
- What times during the week you want to play
- What level you are (so to make sure that beginners are looked after and not paired with semi pro players!)
- Get any recommended location I may have missed
The link below will allow you to select what you preferences are for when and where. You can select as many answers as you want. I will then set up a few sessions that try and match preferences.
So please click the below that will take you to the Google Forms that I've created

Indoor locations are here, but are more difficult to book more than 2 ahead of time. If you know of anywhere that we could block book, particularly during the day, just let me know!
I was a beginner once, and still sometimes play like one. I will look to do whatever I can to get beginners comfy to come along like arrange a group of 3 beginners and one experienced person as a 4 to just knock about and learn instead of go straight into games!!
Please do help me get this right by answering the link!!
