North East Professionals

Thu

📅 18 Jun 2026

📍 NE1 1PQ

Hi there! Welcome to the North East's social group for friendly professionals in their 20s, 30s and 40s. We're a group of lovely people who like to meet up around Newcastle and the North East. Some of the things we like to do include: nights out, coffee, days out and walks, board games, book club and much more… Are you looking to make friends outside of work? Then this is the group for you! Our main aim is to bring people together at fun and interesting events. What is a professional? I hear you say. We don't really mind about the professional bit - it just makes us sound fancier. Please be aware of: Ground Rules Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. (Be kind, considerate and respectful to one another) If you can no longer attend an event, please update your RSVP to not going ASAP. It helps the host to know who to look out for. This is primarily a group for making friends, not for dating. It will not surprise you to hear that plenty of dating does go on within a social group that has over 6000 members, but you should not expect to treat the events as if they are speed dating events. Please respect people’s boundaries and understand that sexual harassment will not be tolerated. Please do not use the app to send repeated messages to members you have not met; if you do this you will be removed. If you want to make connections, we encourage you to come along to events and use the app's new 'connections' feature to help make friends with people you have met. Discriminatory and abusive behaviour will not be tolerated We take issues/complaints seriously. If something isn’t right, report it to the main host via the MeetUp chat. We encourage all members to use a photograph of their face and their real first name on their profile to help ensure everyone’s safety. Stay safe: We meet in public places where there are other people who maybe less lovely than you. Additionally as nice as we think all our members are, we cannot vet them. Therefore I

📍 NE1 1PQ

This group is for anyone who likes nights out, rock, alt-music, club nights, bars, beers (other beverages are available), food and socializing with mates new and old. \*Formerly Beer Bikes and Rock and Roll, but as I'm not a biker myself, putting events on was difficult!!! Everyone's welcome but respect and friendliness is a must. It's great if people hit it off, but please note this is a social group, it's not a dating/singles scene. If you're just starting out and bit nervous, just message the organizer and we'll be happy to arrange meeting you early to introduce you to the group without you having to walk in on your own. So we know who to look out for at events, only memberships with a full facial profile picture will be approved.
