It is for the pure enjoyment of entertainment and making new friends. Once a month, I host a pot luck/movie night in my home, which is a welcoming, friendly, comfortable environment.  All the other meet-ups are in movie theatres. Several may be scheduled each month to …

Being new to Oxnard and wanting to find new friends close by who would like to participate in a variety of adventures sounds very exciting to me. There are so many activities I would like to try for the first time like playing bunco, learning mahjong, exploring the area, going on walking trips, doing mini hikes of novice quality, attending local restaurants that I have never been to, that, rather than joining several clubs, I thought I could get a group of locals who would like to do the same . …

… I envision the meetup being a meeting point for local trail runners and people adding multiple runs per week at different locations and times - including some night trail runs with headlamps! That's why it's important for new trail runners to share where YOU like to hit the dirt and bring some others along!   Cheers and happy trails (running), Andy Fulton So if you like to trail run, are tired of running through your neighborhood all the time, or have always wante …

This is a support and knowledge group where fathers can meet to discuss and learn about how to get fair treatment before, during and after a divorce or separation. Times have changed. Roles for parenting have shifted to 50/50 in many cases on all levels (caregiving, financial, and emotional). Fathers have become more involved with their kids in sharing activities and emotional support for the kids. The mother should not be considered the priority parent in every case. It is only fair that the ki …

… Talk turned to missing Theme hikes, Target hikes, Easy hikes for newcomers, an Eclectic mix of hiking gaps to be sure, and then those Moderate hikes that became Endurance hikes, not because they took on lots of peaks, or because they went fast, but just because they shared the whole day with walk and talk, just enough to justify more shared time at the meal afterwards (& sometimes during as well). That’s where the enlightenment comes from: sharing time with friends.   “Solvitur ambulato.”

The Newbury Park Adventure Society is about adventuring, hiking and socializing for adults in the Newbury Park and Thousand Oaks area.  Distinct features of this group include emphasis on local activities that are very nearby and easy-to-get-to, often scheduled for late afternoons, and with some having standing weekly times, and with expectations of only modest hiking speeds or endurance. For example, I like to hike, and there's quite a few great local hiking groups that I've gone out with, but …
