This group is primarily intended for Unitarian Universalist (UU) Young Adults (20's, 30's & 40's) in the San Francisco Bay Area although we certainly welcome anyone young at heart. We feel there is an under-served community of UU Young Adults who are looking for other UU's who have similar interests in life, liberal religion and politics who would like to have social events (we certainly don't exclude participation by those with a family who would like to be involved!). While we are associated w …

I am a member of a bunch of fun MeetUp groups, but many are far away.  This one is to try and round up more local people for my favorite interests. This group is for all of us who live in Concord and beyond and still want to have fun but with a little less driving. The hope is for us to be able to find some local people who like to do whatever it is we like to do or, at the least, meet some cool people in the area.  We've got some great local resources out here, and we're well situated for esc …

My wife and I just moved from the North Bay where I had a weekly D&D group to the East Bay (Concord) where we don't know anyone. I'm not interested in starting another D&D/RPG group, as it just eats up too much of my time/energy and my work schedule has become too unpredictable to allow me to play steady at a D&D table right now. I work at a Hotel and work some weird hours (swings and graveyards) and my days off can shift around. That's why I'm looking to start a more casual gaming group. This w …

Backgammon Club in Antioch, CA.

The owner is willing to give gift cards to member champions!

Hello there, "Two Wild and Crazy Guys" welcome you to our amazing group. Founded by Dorian and Nick, two close friends of over ten years, this group is all about having fun and meeting new folks.

We'll get together once a month for Bunco (a really easy dice game), wine if you want it, conversation, and laughs! If you've never played, it's super easy to learn. We'll rotate homes, so you only need to host every 15 months or so. Oh, and it's potluck and BYOB. Make new friends, get away from the cleaning/cooking/parenting for a few hours, de-stress from a long day at work or a grueling commute.

Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant good (afternoon/evening) to you, wherever you may be. - Vin Scully Are you from the SoCal area and are absolutely sick every time you see some bandwagoner fan with their brand new Giants gear on touting their supremacy?

Are you over being stuck at home watching Dodger games because you can't find a bar to watch at without being harrassed? If yo …
