50 and up Social Friends Club in Nanaimo

A Club where those of us that are 50 plus can Socialize and get to know each other!

We go to coffee or dinner once or twice a week, we are always trying different types of restaurant, pub, or cafe around Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach & surrounding area. We welcome you to join us on our next event, meet new people, experience some new/old venue & most importantly have fun!

• What the Group Will Do for You:-

The purpose of all our events is to give you the opportunity to socialize with others who share similar interests and values. If your goal is to achieve a future with meaningful harmony, being part of our group can be a great experience.

• What You Can Do for the Group:-

Bring your fun-loving, healthy attitude. Be committed to showing up when promised and be respectful of other members. We require that your profile includes a clear picture of yourself so others can identify you at our events.

• Terms of Service:-

By accessing and using the service of the Meetup platform, entering your RSVP, and continuing to attend our events, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions.

In no event will anyone be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, consequential, or other damages arising from attending an event. Attendance is at your own risk. The organizer, co-organizer, host, and Meetup, are not responsible for loss, damage, theft, injury to oneself or equipment, allergic reactions, speeding/parking/red light tickets, or accidents with your vehicle.

• Annual Dues: $17.00 CAD per person.
• The "Test Drive": Your first event is always free! We want you to come out and meet us before committing.
• Timeline: Dues are kindly requested within 30 days of joining the group to maintain an active membership status.
• How to Pay

We do not use the automated MeetUp/Stripe payment system to avoid unnecessary processing fees and exchange rates. You can pay via:

1. E-Transfer: Send to **cku123@me.com**.
   • IMPORTANT: You must include your Full Name and "MeetUp 2026" in the e-transfer notes so we can verify your payment.

Membership is updated manually. Once your payment is received, your profile will be updated to reflect your active status for the calendar year.

• Guest Policy:-

Guests will not be permitted at our events, and only members may attend,

• Attendance Limitations:-

Our restaurant events are limited to ten members (sometime up to 12 member venues pending), which we find is most conducive to enjoyable comradery and allows everyone to join in on mutual conversations. In addition, it's a great way to get to know one another. So please be courteous and remove your RSVP if your plans change, so someone else can take your place.

• RSVP Etiquette:-

If you can’t attend an event you had registered for, please have the courtesy to update your RSVP the night before so others have a chance to see if there is an opening to take your place. We'll have a waiting list for anyone who still wants to attend once an event is filled.
We ask that you please update your RSVP the night before the scheduled event so that people on the waitlist have enough notice to step in.
_Cancellations made within 8 hours of the scheduled event will be considered a "No-Show." After 2 "No-Shows" your right to reserve a spot will be revoked for 3 months.
