Tips for joining activities, groups or clubs
When considering looking for a group or club to join, while there are many options to choose from, it can be hard to know where to begin. To help get you started we have provided a list of questions and ideas to think about.
- What are your interests or hobbies? Is there something you’ve always wanted to try?
- Do you want to join a group for fun, to make friends, to share a common interest or maybe to help make a change in something you are passionate about?
- Do you want to find an activity that is available all year or perhaps casually like going to the movies or a show?
- Do you know anyone else who might like to join in with you? Or perhaps you know someone who already attends a group – you could ask them to take you along!
Making contact with a club or group
Where possible, we have provided group contact details and links so you can obtain the most up to date information about the group. We recommend users of the guide make their own enquiries direct with the groups so as to make an informed decision. Some questions you may want to ask include:
- Is there a ‘try before you buy’ option? Can you have a go to see if you like it first without having to join or pay fees?
- How much will it cost to join in?
- Will there be any special requirements – like clothing or equipment?
- Ask for the name of a contact person who can answer any questions and perhaps provide a tour or orientation.
- Where is the closest bus stop or train station?
