About us
If you live in or near Bath or are simply enjoying visiting this beautiful city and the surrounding countryside with all that it has to offer then please read on:
I love Bath and the region and am looking for like minded souls, whether new to Bath and its environs or lifelong residents, to help make this meetup into a welcoming and rewarding social group in the area.
The aim of the group is to provide events that you will find enjoyable and sociable. These can for example include:
- Friendly get-togethers over coffee or drinks
- Trips to the cinema/theatre/pantomine etc
- Dining out
- Pub quizzes & games
- Entertainment/events such as bowling, music, comedy
- Walks/tours/occasional trips out
- Visits to festivals, exhibitions, art galleries, etc.
BATH SOCIAL GROUP MANTRAS
- It only takes a second to smile
- Quality is more important than quantity
- If at first you don't succeed, never mind.

EVENT ORGANIZERS WANTED!
If you might be interested in hosting an event then please feel contact me as Group Organizer with an indication of what type of event you would like to host. The more people contribute to hosting events, the greater and more varied the fun for everyone!
MEETUP ORGANIZATION COSTS
I personally bore the cost charged by the Meetup Organization for allowing the group to run on the meetup website for the first few months. Since then, active members have contributed voluntary donations to share the burden of the meetup website fee when required (the fee is currently equivalent to c.£200 p.a. though the sterling cost varies a little according to the exchange rate as it is in dollars) - I make an appeal to members for donations when our current funds run out.
BATH SOCIAL GROUP RULES
Members are required to observe the rules of the Group which aim to assist harmony and respect. The rules can be found at: Bath Social Group Rules.
BATH SOCIAL GROUP PAGES
From time to time Group Pages are created to cover particular aspects of the Group. These can be found at: Bath Social Group Pages.

Calling all Bluegrass Fans
Chapel Arts Centre, Lower Borough Walls, Bath BA1 1QR, Bath, GBI saw The Charlotte Carrivick Band a couple of months ago at The Downend Folk and Roots Club, and they are absolutely brilliant. I feel sure all the tickets will sell, so please buy a ticket in advance and then add yourself to this Meetup. Thank you.
With a shared passion for modern bluegrass, The Charlotte Carrivick Band brings together four of the most exciting musicians in the UK today. Charlotte Carrivick is a flatpicking guitarist of international renown, sought for her inventive lead playing and regarded as an expert fiddle tune interpreter on the guitar.
Joining Charlotte is long time collaborator and in-demand fiddler, Kieran Towers (Pet Yeti); master of tone and taste, Evan Davies, on the mandolin (The Often Herd); and the firm hand of fellow Midnight Skyracer bassist, Eleanor Wilkie. Together, their music is at times joyous, poignant, dark, pensive or exuberant with virtuosic instrumentals and close harmony singing.
As a founding member of IBMA award nominated, Island Records signed bluegrass powerhouse band, Midnight Skyracer, and one half of the more folk infused and award winning duo The Carrivick Sisters, Charlotte’s taste covers the breadth of the genre as well as taking influence from old time and jazz. It was during the recording of her debut solo album, showcasing her guitar playing and tune writing, that the band was formed.
If you are lover of new acoustic music, bluegrass, old time and swing you won’t want to miss this band.https://charlottecarrivick.co.uk/
