Hola😉. How about having a nice coffee time on Saturday? Only 6 seats 😉 Verde Amore Healthy Food https://verdeamore.es

¿Sientes que la semana se te ha hecho larga y necesitas un plan sin complicaciones? Este sábado te proponemos un plan perfecto para salir de la rutina, mover un poco las piernas y, sobre todo, conocer gente nueva en un ambiente relajado. Haremos una ruta de unos **9 km** cerca de Barcelona. Es una distancia ideal: lo suficiente para sentir que hemos hecho ejercicio, pero lo bastante tranquila para poder charlar sin que nos falte el aliento. ### 📍 ¿Cómo apuntarte? Si quieres compartir este sábado con nosotros, **entra en el grupo de [WhatsApp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/BOkMacX3JYv4QRZui1sK3I?mode=gi_t).** Allí compartiremos la ubicación exacta y detalles de la salida. Importante: Tenemos un grupo donde los participantes de salidas anteriores se apuntan directamente a estas; por eso, **el número que aparece en Meetup no refleja el total real de inscritos/participantes**. **Grupo WhatsApp**: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BOkMacX3JYv4QRZui1sK3I?mode=gi_t ### 📍 El Plan * **Punto de encuentro:** Los detalles exactos de la ubicación se compartirán por el **grupo de** He leído y acepto que esta es una actividad entre particulares, sin guía profesional, y asumo la responsabilidad total de mi seguridad y estado físico durante la misma. (¡así mantenemos la coordinación en tiempo real!). * **Hora:** Quedaremos sobre las **11:00**. Nada de madrugones excesivos; queremos que sea un sábado de disfrute, no de estrés. * Transporte: usaremos los Ferrocarriles de la Generalitat (FGC) - no el tren/RENFE * **La ruta:** Unos 9 km de sendero agradable para descubrir un rincón especial cerca de la ciudad. *** ### 🎒 ¿Qué tienes que traer? Para que el día sea perfecto, no olvides meter esto en tu mochila: * 👟 **Calzado cómodo:** Zapatillas de deporte o botas de montaña. * 🧤 **Ropa de abrigo:** ¡No te confíes! Es enero y en la montaña refresca. Aplica la técnica de la cebolla (capas). * 🍱 **Comida para picnic:** Comeremos juntos en ruta para disfrutar de las vistas. * 💧 **Agua:** Al menos 1 litro para mantenerte hidratado. * ☀️ **Consulta el tiempo:** Echa un ojo a la previsión antes de salir de casa. * ✨ **Ganas de pasarlo bien:** Es el ingrediente más importante. ### 💬 Coordinación Una vez te apuntes y entres en el grupo de [whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/BOkMacX3JYv4QRZui1sK3I?mode=gi_t), facilitaremos los detalles del transporte y el punto exacto de inicio. **¿Te vienes a disfrutar del sábado con nosotros? ¡Apúntate ya!** ### ℹ️ Información Importante * Este es un grupo de encuentro informal, no una actividad guiada profesionalmente. **Cada participante es responsable de su propia seguridad y estado físico. Al unirte, reconoces el carácter voluntario y autónomo de la actividad.** * **Grupos Reducidos:** Para garantizar una experiencia cercana y de calidad, y para minimizar nuestro impacto en el medio natural, limitamos las plazas a un **máximo de 15 personas**. * **Compromiso con el grupo:** Te pedimos que solo te unas al grupo de WhatsApp si tienes la **seguridad de que vas a venir**. Así evitamos notificaciones innecesarias y dejamos la plaza libre para quien realmente pueda asistir. * **Valores:** Este es un espacio para gente **tolerante**. El respeto mutuo es nuestra norma fundamental. Venimos a desconectar, disfrutar de la naturaleza y, sobre todo, a pasarlo muy bien.

Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Crimson Cup Coffee Shop - Clintonville](https://www.crimsoncup.com/about/location/clintonville)!

*Happy Hour fans?* Each month, our group is going to try to meet at some of the best happy hours around town! This month, let's meet for drinks and small bites at **[Rail Craft Kitchen](https://www.railcraftkitchen.com/menu?menu=happy-hour#1)** in Dublin on Frantz Road. *Happy Hour is 3-6pm weekdays*. Every drink or shareable is only $6.00! **Happy Hour** is inherently social. It’s a time when people come together to unwind and enjoy each other’s company. For many, it’s a way to catch up with friends, network with colleagues, or simply meet new people in a relaxed setting. The casual atmosphere of happy hour encourages conversation, making it easier to bond over shared interests and experiences.

Join us for happy hour and then **BINGO**! *Bingo starts at 6:30pm*. Feeling lucky? Many from our group win cash and prizes at this bingo! Great happy hour prices and maybe some 💰! Three games, 5 rounds each. Each game, buy 2 cards/$5, 4 cards/$10, etc. **BRING CASH!** [Pastimes](https://www.pastimespubandgrill.com/crosswoods/) is a neighborhood sports bar with a creative and fresh food menu, delicious cocktails, infused liquors, and very cold beer!

⚠️ **IMPORTANT: You must sign up and buy a ticket here to attend:** [https://groupvibe.com/](https://groupvibe.com/) **Join the Columbus City Brunch Club and make new friends!** Each meetup brings together 4–6 people for casual conversations over brunch. We use the Groupvibe platform to facilitate the meetup and ensure everyone’s a good fit. 👉 **To attend, you’ll need to complete registration via this link:** [https://groupvibe.com/](https://groupvibe.com/) We’ll share the exact location of the upcoming meetup the night before only if you have bought a ticket or membership plan. **Why this works:** \* Smaller groups make real conversations easier. \* Discover new restaurants in your city, together. \* Curated lunch venues with good food and vibe. \* If you hit it off with your group, there’s plenty of time to hang out afterwards. **Note:** RSVPs on Meetup don’t reflect total attendance. Many attendees register directly via our website. The event on [Meetup.com](http://meetup.com/) is only a placeholder. This meetup is organized by Groupvibe, a small team passionate about helping people form meaningful friendships offline.

COLUMBUS RECREATION CENTERS require membership fee to play. Register & Pay at the desk when you arrive. $5 day pass is available. I have some extra pickle ball paddles and balls if you don’t have one. Definitely bring your own paddle if you have one and bring some balls if you have them.

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
