Social
Members of the group occasionally organise social events such as parties, meals in restaurants, visit to pubs or clubs, concerts etc.
We meet on Thursday evenings to provide information about our group, outdoor activities and our events, in particular for new members. The evening also offers everyone the opportunity to socialise, and we often have something light, easy, interesting and occasionally silly, with that aim in mind. Most of our weekend events will have involve an outdoor activity - that's the reason people join our group - but we do need and allow a few complementary social events. All members of our group are expected to participate in outdoor activities and we do not want or allow members who ONLY want social activities.
We usually have a number of key annual social events:
- New Member Meals (held shortly after our Thursday New Member Events)
- Christmas buffet (food, drink and music, maybe Santa Claus)
- Summer barbecue (outside, burgers, nibbles, salad, drink)
- Group Auction (opportunity to lose/gain items, money to charity/group)
- Halloween evening (games, face painting, apple bobbing etc)
- Castle pub - quaint old pub in West Street, Harrow on the Hill (we end up here most Thursday evenings (10pm+) after our hall and most Thursday evenings (9pm+) when don't have the hall at all)
