What we’re about
This group is all about building a community in a time that seems to have destroyed most traditional and local communities. This group is about helping people, particularly people who are isolated or disaffected to find others to spend time with, form friendships and maybe even find allies in the difficult times we find ourselves in.
Although one can appreciate the communities that do exist around singular hobbies and interests, that limited scope can mean that no deeper connections are easily formed. This group is meant to have a wide range of activities (which will be developed over time and through discussion) and a handful of core activities such as pub/restaurant meetings and hikes, to help build connections between members and allow for lots of different opportunities for getting to know one another.
Ultimately I'd love for a group to emerge full of different people with different interests, but enough overlap that we all get to know each other and have some interpersonal compatibility. I also want to develop a good system for on-boarding new people as well as catering to the interests and connections that have already been developed. Finally, there is a deeper purpose of helping to build alliances between people in the hard times we find ourselves in. Whether it's moving house or discussing how to improve our lives, I hope we as a group and as individuals can find ways to offer real support to one another, but this depends on what is appropriate and fair.

As this is a New Meetup, some things may change and issues that emerge may need to be addressed. I will update this page as needed but I expect that obvious issues like repeated no-shows or bringing a very negative attitude may be grounds for removal from the group.
If this group intrigues you, come along and try it out! It's just starting and maybe you can get in on the ground floor of a good thing.
