For anyone who is interested in going photographing, in and around the Bristol area. This group was started as there were no Meetup Groups in the Bristol area for Photographers. The group's purpose is for like-minded people to get together, learn new skills and get inspiration from others. This group is for people who are interested in taking up photography, novice photographers who want to learn more, avid photographers and anyone in between. Come & have a look at what's on.

Coming up in 2012, we've got our regular board games/origami/socialising nights, plus a range of socials planned heading to other fun things in Bristol (meetup and go to interesting events, pervasive/street games, community arts - whatever looks good!). The idea behind this meetup group was to enable like-minded, positive people to connect with each other - at our small-ish gatherings, when heading to larger-scale organised stuff and anything inbetween. All are welcome to join, and organise or s …

I've just moved to Bristol and having left behind a great meetup book club in brighton, wondered if we can get one up and running here in Bristol? The format of the Brighton one is to read one book a month and meet the first Wednesday of each month to discuss it, but we wouldn't need to specifically do Wednesdays, let's see what works for people. The book for the next month is chosen by vote at the meeting and that seems to work fine. If you're interested then please sign up and get in touch a …

Having moved to Bristol and being a long term member of a great walking group in the south-east I thought I'd see what was on offer in the South-West, the meetup site said over 70 people in the area were 'waiting for' a hiking group so I thought it might be worth a try. The group I'm used to ( http://www.walkingclub.org.uk ) is a 'self-organised' group where walks are flexible and very sociable so I'd like to follow that philosophy. One of the reasons why I moved to Bristol was to have easy acce …

Café Philo is a way of meeting interesting, inquiring people who enjoy talking about life's big issues and conundrums in a convivial atmosphere in the Bristol and Bath areas. We meet regularly in cafés, pubs and other suitable venues to discuss all manner of philosophical topics. Some are profound, others are decidedly not. Our discussions are non-party-political and free of religious or ideological dogma (most of the time at least). We encourage a healthy mix of the serious and humourous, so yo …
