What we’re about
We’re back!
This is a group for woman who would like to get out and about more, meet new people and make some new friends.
I would say Durham is the central location for the group but meetups with also be planned outside of this. For example, I like to go to the Metro Centre for cinema trips to make a day out of it. And I also want to get out and about in Newcastle a bit more so expect a few meals to be planned there.
The main thing I will bring to the group is meeting up for nice lunches, trips to the cinema or a combination of both! I also enjoy going out for walks (of the leisurely kind!) along the coast and other beautiful places, and exploring castles, old building and new places – I may also add a bit of this to the group to see if anyone fancies tagging along. As the group develops and I gather more ideas, I will look to expand the range of events further.
In addition to this, I’m also open to members planning events however there is absolutely no obligation to do so! If you’d rather just come along for good food, chat and company then the more the merrier! For those who are interested in organising events, there will be some ‘rules’ for lack of a better phrase – see below for more details!
With regards to ‘rules’ for members, all I ask is that if you commit to attending a meetup, you try your best to make it. I completely understand that emergencies happen and anxiety can get the best of us – believe me I’ve been there! If you’re unable to make something you’ve signed up for, for whatever reason, please drop me a message or leave a comment on the meetup event as soon as possible. I don’t require details, just letting me know you won’t be attending is sufficient.
No shows will not be tolerated. Neither will changing your RSVP (without a comment or message) within 48hrs of an event or once an event has been booked (e.g. a table has been reserved). Honestly, it’s just common curtesy to let me know if you are no longer coming.
If this groups sounds like some you might be interested, please do join and come along to event if you can! I look forward to meeting you!
