What we’re about
Berkhamsted and Tring Social welcomes all friends and residents, new and established, to our social group. The aim of our group is to provide our members with opportunities to meet new people with similar interests and to make new friends who want to get out and about in the local area. We offer three walks per week (two midweek and one weekend) in the surrounding countryside. We also offer a range of other events and have a strong commitment to supporting our local community and local events. As well as our regular walks, we also organise film nights, theatre trips, concerts, book club, the wine club, pub nights, meals out etc.
We are looking for new, committed hosts with fresh ideas, too, to help our local group grow and develop, offering a range of regular and new events to suit the different interests and tastes of our members.
Some events will have a small cost so that the organiser can cover the Meetup subscription fee and other expenses but many events will remain free of charge. As walks are our most regular events, we ask members to donate £1 towards our costs. We ask that all members keep their RSVPs up to date and respect the efforts made by all hosts in offering local and varied events for our enjoyment.
Look forward to you joining us at an event soon!

Hard-hitting but not without hope, this is David Attenborough’s most urgent and personal documentary in years, a breathtaking wake-up call that demands to be seen.
Leaving behind the BBC, Attenborough pulls no punches as he takes aim at the industrial fishing giants devastating marine ecosystems. With trademark clarity and compassion, he guides us through the wonders of the deep, from shimmering coral reefs to towering undersea mountain ranges, revealing a world of staggering beauty and biodiversity.
But this is also a departure. Gone are the gentle narratives of survival and family. Instead, awe-inspiring visuals are paired with with sharp, unflinching truths. When the camera shifts from thriving habitats to the mechanical devastation of trawlers, the contrast is gut-wrenching.
Attenborough avoids vague calls to recycle and instead squarely blames governments and corporations for ocean collapse. Yet, amid the anger, hope flickers. Marine life rebounds when given space. Real change is possible, he insists, and urgently needed.
Attenborough’s deep well of experience, emotional candour, and unmistakable voice make Ocean not just essential viewing, but a powerful, rallying cry. At 97, he is still showing us the world and, crucially, how to save it.Trailer:
