What we’re about
Hello and Welcome to the Skipton Social Club Meetup Group!
We’re a lively and friendly bunch of locals who love to socialise. New people join every week, and everyone is warmly welcomed. If you’re looking to expand your circle of friends, this is a great place to start.
Our events include everything from meals out, theatre and cinema trips, dancing, day trips, festivals, games nights, garden visits, walking, craft sessions, book reviews, and of course — plenty of eating, drinking, talking and laughing!
In October 2022, we celebrated our 1,000th event, and we’re still going strong.
Membership
To help contribute to the running costs of our Meetup group, we ask for a modest contribution:
– £4.90 per year, or
– £1 per event you attend
Any additional costs for food, drinks, tickets, or activities are paid individually by attendees.
We have a club bank account for collecting subscriptions — thank you for your support!
About this group
This local group was originally set up in 2016 to help EDTLS — Eaters, Drinkers, Talkers, and Laughers — meet new people, stay connected, and enjoy shared activities in and around the Skipton and Craven area. Doing things together is just more fun — and over time, a warm and supportive community has grown.
The group is now hosted by Carol Jowitt and Gina Lazenby, who enjoy curating a wide range of fun, relaxed and sociable events — from restaurant outings and garden visits to creative excursions and seasonal picnics.
We always welcome new ideas and fresh energy. If you have a suggestion for an event — or would like to host one yourself — please do get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!
