What we’re about
This group is for like-minded people to get together and enjoy varied events & meetings including theatre, cinema/movies, meals & drinks, walks, art, tabletop games, meditation, with a warm friendly organiser team who will make you feel very welcome as if you have been a part of us for a long time.
This is an ideal time to come along to an event & meeting of your interest and not feel alone, this is all about new opportunities with a group of people wanting the same and making you feel at ease and comfortable in your surroundings. There are no big introductions on the meets only to make others aware of who you are and to be civil & polite to others in the group, we do not want people to become uncomfortable in any way.
We are a friendly, warm and welcoming group who would like to welcome you on our journey of new ventures, interests, fun and to have companions to experience this with. It is a safe group and we would like everyone to be treated with respect. It is open to anyone who enjoys new experiences and meeting new people from all different backgrounds. We welcome all event ideas from all members and will plan anywhere the team feel it is right for the group.
Many members from the original Leicester Good Intentions Club (LGIC) have moved to this group when the LGIC closed down in March 2018 after three successful years under Helen F's stewardship.
For any member who wishes to advertise their own events, please send a message to Holger or mention it to anyone on the Organiser Team, we can easily promote you to being an Event Organiser, and in most cases we'll be happy to do so, as long as events are of interest to people based in the East Midlands. It does not matter whether these events are for leisure or business purposes, such as for relaxation, entertainment, networking or education/training (as long as there's no hard-selling).
We look forward to meeting you at one of our varied events.
Stating the obvious, a.k.a. good manners:
1. Unless there's a genuine personal reason for not doing so, we kindly request that you ensure your profile image is a clear photo of yourself, so you can be easily recognised at our events.
2. Unless you have previously met in person, and obtained consent, please refrain from sending Direct Messages to members of the opposite gender.
