Index of Events, Trips & Mbr. Update, Always Updated

***Scroll down for Event Index Past and Upcoming which Always Updated w links to all events and trips regardless of Event Organizer since these Groups are ALL of Ours!!! Always OPEN to Event Ideas for new WOW Events and other ideas to keep things Fresh. I always look for improvements in myself as Host/Guide along with improving events in all regards. Thanks ALL Event Organizers working Hard to Create WOW FUN!!! Thanks ALL members for the courtesy to ALL by showing or editing RSVPs as needed ***SEE Groups ABOUT Section: 3x No-Shows are Removed from GROUPS. Constant No-Show Types should just leave the groups as this is not respectful of others who show or at least edit/update their RSVPs. With Kayak/SUPabouts I create I will have us Meetup 45mins. before prompt launch underway time so adjust meetup time as needed to be prepared to be launched and underway on time. With most other events it is 15mins. prior for prompt start time as a courtesy to all and their valuable time. I try to Meet&Greet plus help all as needed. Those late will have to contact me to catch up with the group and the Zello 2Way Walkie Talkie System works the best as during an event I do not have time to stay up with messages. I try my best to have accurate info but do humanly mess up at times. Never forget those creating events including myself do these as FREE Events. I try to have Kayak/SUP and Biking Events where those needing can rent equipment. Many times I will post links to equipment rental companies but is up to those needing equipment to make reservations and rent as needed. I also try to have map pins and location at our meetup location. ***PLEASE READ ALL EVENT DETAILS and stay up with possible event changes via the comments and/or messages I send you, so locate where to see your messages. I may not be Hosting and or may be Canceling Events that you won't know about unless you check event comments and messages starting 4days prior to event. I have become more firm with removing those reaching 3x No-Shows as this is a ridiculous lack of respect and basic courtesy to those who show. Re-Confirmation of GOING via reply to Re-Confirmation Message is REQUIRED vs just being a Suggestion. I myself as a Creator Host/Guide of Events am staying with this Re-Confirmation Of RSVP Going System via meetup messaging (so please check your messages) while also having most events limited to 12 just as any trips I host/guide. ***When events max out those who do not re-confirm in Good Faith GOING by 48hrs. prior to event are moved to not-going to open spaces to those on the waitlist. *** I am back to cross-posting events I host/guide on other groups I am able to create/post on but will still require a Re-Confirmation of Going. RSVP Going shown will show me + Guest reflecting others RSVP GOING on other Groups/Sites. I am a member of some other Facebook Groups showing a Good amount GOING to events but as Meetup they also may have a too high No-Show rate. I personally Host/Guide Events I find WOW enough that I don’t mind doing on a consistent basis when in Florida and is the same with my events mostly in SoCal. I and others try to have events go as described but conditions may cause changes as needed. My hopeful schedule going forward is Nov.-Feb. and May-August In Florida. The other times of the year is the west U.S.A., California and Trips. As mentioned above I am Always on the lookout for FUN WOW New Events to Add. Below are most upcoming events and trips dates. I try to provide options for events as with trips and have most Bikeabouts and Kayak/SUPabouts at locations where people can rent equipment if needed. ***New Trip INFO on Trips I Host/Guide which are like other Events but with Drivers, Guides and Host making a small fee for pulling everything together based on the group and individuals desires. I am not retired as I work with my Cousins 2way Communications Business in Lakeland Polk County Area and some part time employment Thu.-Mon. when in Tampa Bay along with volunteering at the VA Hospitals. ***Please Support all the work of our Event Creators working hard at Creating FUN Experiences and Adventures. If any of these GROUPs I keep Going can help other groups Grow Their Attendees by Crossposting let them know they can message me as I am always looking to help. ***Never forget Event Organizers are unpaid and I believe do their BEST.
