Bournemouth and Poole Fun Fit For Life Club Meetup

Mon
📅 29 Jun 2026
📍 BH14 0QS

Bournemouth and Poole Fun Fit For Life Club   The purpose of this Meetup is to connect with those people who prefer to exercise outdoors and make friends with like minded people. We have a community of healthy active members with a sense of fun and we welcome everybody, no matter their fitness level. Going to the gym can be daunting for some. It is easy to feel as if you are being judged on your body shape and fashion sense, with mirrors and posers all around in abundance. It can also be very insular, with music so loud you can't have a conversation, or people wearing earphones. Even in group classes there is no communication between participants and everybody disappears within 30 seconds of the class finishing. There is also the aspect of working in a forced air environment with everybody's germs and smells being recycled. We are very different, we get people to work outside in the fresh air, and engage with each other, in pairs or teams, doing exercises, games or races. The sorts of games we play are Touch British Bulldog, Stick in the Mud, skipping with everybody on one long rope, leap frog, wheelbarrow races and piggy-back races. In fact all the games you used to play before the world went health and safety mad. Come and get in back in touch with your inner child. Fashion is not an issue, come in what is comfortable and suitable for the weather. We do work hard, with activities pitched to each individual’s fitness level, fitter members exercise at a higher intensity, but we are very inclusive. We like smiles on faces, when people are having fun they tend to work harder without realising it, and therefore get better results. The sense of community we engender makes exercising with friends something members want to come to and be part of rather than something they feel they should do. Your first taster exercise classs is free, thereafter it is £4.00 per session pay as you go, or £3.00 per session if you block book 15 sessions. We also have extracurricular events, such as mountain bike rides, kayaking, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, or a scenic walk. If one of these is your first session it will cost £4.00 My email is and my phone no is if you would like more information.

Bournemouth Boghoppers Walking Group

Wed
📅 1 Jul 2026
📍 BH2 6PD

Hi! We are the BOURNEMOUTH BOGHOPPERS! We are into walking, dining out, theatre visits, local bands nights, country pubs, barbecues, making friends and socialising. The group was called the Bournemouth Boghoppers over 30 years ago when we took over from the original S.E. Dorset YHA Group. The nickname has stuck and has become our official title. We have no fixed age range but most of our members are in their late forties, fifties & early sixties. We aim to have regular weekend walks in the Purbecks, across Dorset and the New Forest (usually 7 - 10 miles in length) and we've recently started a programme of shorter (4 -6 miles) midweek walks exploring East Dorset. Please note that this group does not allow dogs on the walks. Walks & events are led by volunteers and whilst we are very happy to guide you - you are responsible for your own safety & wellbeing at all times. The price of membership is £10 per annum to cover running costs and we offer a two month period to try us before you join. Annual Membership runs from 1st March each year. Our account is with Nat West. BOURNEMOUTH BOGHOPPERS a/c no 88866386. Sort code 51-81-18 (\Please make sure that you record the name that we know you as\).

DORSET NATURE AND HISTORY GROUP

Sun
📅 28 Jun 2026
📍 BH15 2FQ

This is a group for anyone in Dorset & Hampshire - or anywhere, who has a love primarily of nature & our scenery, but also now our history. We are blessed to have beautiful and unique natural environments on our doorstep from rare heathland, to rich estuaries, and even a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so there's so much to enjoy. Whether you are an expert or you just enjoy watching the birds in your garden and would like to know more, then come and join us. I do believe Dorset is the best county for scenery, winter birds, summer butterflies, the Jurassic Coast, heathlands, woods, Poole Harbour, Weymouth, Portland, well, every habitat bar mountains and moorland. We are now to include history, architecture, geology, anything really that may add interest on our walks and events. Primarily in Dorset, there is so much here, but we will stray to other counties. Do give our events a try, some are too shy, but you will be welcomed. This site will now change, hope to include some local history walks, so if anyone knows or good sites, or knows anyone who can lead or jointly lead a walk, let me know. The second change is that events will be more short-notice, perhaps just a few days. I would like deputies on the walks but no one has really come forward. So, I do no longer wish to give dates far in the future, due to the commitment it imposes. IJ 19.11.24. We are a friendly group of wildlife and natural world enthusiasts, and welcome new members. You do not need to attend any events, and we give regular updates, every week or so, on what is going on in Dorset, Hants and sometimes beyond.  We do appreciate feedback. This site is free (except when we ask a Professional along), but coffees and cakes will always be acceptable. Please ask if you wish to bring a dog along on a particular event. If anyone wishes to lead or co-lead an event, or if you know of a local historian or naturalist, then do not hesitate to ask, similarly, if you might wish to become the Organiser of the group, you will be more than welcome, or you just may wish to enquire. We welcome all suggestions for any events. Terms and Conditions & Disclaimers:   When you join an event, whether or not you have signed up for it on the Meetup site, or you attend as a guest, you indicate that you accept these conditions and the group Disclaimers and accept that no legal liability is accepted by the group. We have no insurance, so it is at your risk.
