East Bay Social Club

We are a social group of all ages of adults who enjoy to connect people in a safe environment around, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and Concord area. Join us and explore cool bars, night clubs, restaurants, museums, vineyards, hiking adventures, house parties, etc.

We thrive to host quality, friendly events in safe environments to everyone.

***In order to join, you need to be recognizable in your photo. Having an action shot, group photo, or any photo where it's not clear who you are won't work as we take attendance at our events. Topless pics aren't permitted.

Our members range in age from 21 to 80+. We do not discriminate. If you don't feel comfortable about being around people from different age groups, then this group won’t be suitable for you. This is a very diverse group with a lot of positive energy. Join and you will meet some quality, new friends.

This group is about helping out in the community, having fun, exploring the East Bay, and meeting new friends while in a safe environment. By joining this group or remaining a member of this group, you agree to refrain from the list of inappropriate behaviors listed below while attending East bay Social Club events or visiting the East bay social Meetup site. If you exhibit any of the following, you will be removed from the group:

Inappropriate Behavior

• Sending spam emails to members to promote a business, event, etc. without permission of the main organizer.

• Posting comments on an event page or using the "Start a conversation..." functionality to promote a business, event, etc. without permission of the main organizer.

• Not having a picture where you are recognizable. If you aren't recognizable in your East bay social club profile picture, then you are subject to removal and will have to request to rejoin the group with a valid photo.

• Sending emails to members you haven't met for the purposes of dating or picking up. This isn't a dating website.

• Having multiple profiles with the group. Only one profile is permitted per person.

• Texting or calling the Organizer for any reason other than trying to find the group during a meetup event. Note that the number is provided as a courtesy to facilitate finding the group only. No exceptions.

• Being touchy or physical with another member (overly aggressive).

• Causing another member to feel uncomfortable based upon behavior OR comments (creepiness). Note that INITIATING flirting with members half your age will not be tolerated.

• Stalking other members.

• Showing up to an event without securing a spot (crashing). Note that members are not allowed to bring a guest to an event unless they secure a spot online for their guest. Some events are limited to members only.

Expected Member Conduct

Members are expected to read the event description and any updates posted by the Event Organizer before attending an event. This helps eliminate the need to ask questions that have already been explicitly stated in the event description. It also keeps expectations in alignment with the event format/structure.

Please use a personal photo where you are recognizable for your profile as we like to know whom we are communicating with and we take attendance at our events. Otherwise you will not be admitted to the group or you might be removed from the group.

In order to receive important emails sent from Event Organizers, make sure that you have the following setting options enabled for this group: ‘Announcement about a specific Meetup’ and ‘Announcement to members about the group’.

There is drinking involved with some of our events, thus our events are for adults 21 and over.

Note that we sometimes remove inactive members from the group. We encourage active membership.
