What we’re about
Strictly Social – (Formerly Known as Basingstoke Meetup Group). Basingstoke’s newest social group for fun loving people in their 50s and 60s. (Note – those who fall out of this age bracket will not be turned away, as long as they are sociable and wish to meet new people, make friends, and participate in a range of events.)
It is my intention for this new group to be inclusive, therefore sub-groups and cliques will be discouraged. As whilst they are inevitable, they are unhelpful and not conducive to the growth of a friendly group.
Proposed events – For the forthcoming year, I propose to offer at least 2 events per month. Sometimes there maybe more. I intend to support our local community through patronising events such as fetes; coffee mornings; amateur dramatics etc. So, expect events as follows:
Regular coffee morning (Herriard)
Regular club night (TBA)
At least one weekend away (TBA)
Theatre; meals out; picnics; BBQs; museum visits; exhibitions; lunches
At least one event in a member’s home;
A trip to London
Occasional weekend walks with lunch and a National Trust visit or similar
This list is by no means exhaustive. All ideas welcome.
Funding – I am sure you will appreciate that very little in this life comes for free. So, I am afraid I have to make an annual charge. Unlike previously, there will be no joining fee. Membership will cost you just £10 per person per until 31 December 2024. No couples discount. You join this group as an individual.
Once you join, I will send details of how to pay your membership fees. You will then be able to browse the site and sign up for events.
I look forward to receiving your application.
